Helen was even more busy after being appointed as the head of the Lane family, disappearing for anentire week while re-

establishing contact with Trevor Zurich.

Nonetheless, she suddenly showed up at Frank's hilltop mansion in Skywater Bay one day, dragginghim away from the dining

table and shoving him into her car to ride shotgun.

"You're coming withto Zamri," she said as she handily started the car and drove off, as WinterLawrence and everyone else

looked on in confusion.

"Zamri? Why?" Frank asked, not quite coming to his senses.

"I'm loaning you from Vicky," Helen said, throwing him an agreement and a ballpoint pen andinstructing him curtly, "You'll be the

Lane Holdings' head of security and my personal bodyguard. Just sign there and seal the deal."

"Seal the deal?" Frank chuckled as he stared at the stuff on his lap in wry amusement. "What are youup to, my dear Ms. Lane? Am

| signing my own death warrant here, and can | say no?"

"Nope," Helen snapped, exceedingly pushy and jamming her foot on the gas pedal without evenlooking at him. "If you refuse to

sign it, it's a public execution in the afternoon!"

"Oh, but can you bear to kill me..." Frank muttered under his breath, finally drawing a blush from Helendespite her overbearing

attitude.

She snorted. "Stop messing around. | need your help, and it's important.”

"Really?" Frank asked as he flipped through the agreement nonchalantly and suddenly realized that hewould draw a five million

dollar salary.

Raising a brow, he feigned indignation. "Now, now, Ms. Lane. You're rich, and you're only paying yourhusband five million? Aren'tnovelbin

you underpayinghere? I'd be really discouraged with such low pay!"

As Frank closed the agreement without signing it, Helen sighed exasperatedly. "You're just adepartment head—that salary is way

above standard market value. | can't bend the rules... and my money is yours anyway..."

Helen trailed off, her voice exceedingly soft.

"What was that?" Frank laughed as hard as he could on purpose. "The car engine is too loud. | couldn'thear you!"

"I didn't say anything!" Helen snapped, at once embarrassed, angry and punching Frank. "If you don'twant to sign it, fine! I'll get

someone else to be my personal bodyguard, and we will have to cohabit!"

"What?!"

Frank suddenly turned solemn. "That won't do. It's absolutely unacceptable for my wife to cohabit withanother man!"

With that, he signed the agreement.
