chapter 135

While kathy rejoiced at the news of her official engagement, a certain pitiful woman was a target of Frank's tyrannical study session."Wrong answer!" Frank smacked the folded magazine on her head. "I just taught you how to solve this problem and what logic to use. Then why are you repeating your mistake?"Molly sobbed and regretted her decision that she accepted his offer to teach her.She thought that he would mark some super important questions for the test and that she would need to study only those, but who knew that he would grill the entire syllabus into her without any mercy."I-I am trying…""Trying will get you nowhere!" He smacked her again."Stop smacking me!""Then stop making such silly mistakes!"Molly's fingers were already dead by solving back-to-back problems. Then her little brain cells left over were now slowly beginning to fade away into oblivion too."I am tired," she cried."You will not stop moving your hands until you get the right answer!" He glared at her and his tall figure loomed upon her in a threatening stance.At her plight, Frank was thoroughly enjoying her pathetic state.Hah! This feels nice. Weren't you running your annoying mouth? I have totally shut you up now, he smirked.Of course, he diligently helped her study to help her pass, but who said that he couldn't be cruel in his methods? Her near-death condition made him roll in laughter.His phone rang with a call, and he sternly said, "I will be back. Don't you dare stop moving your hand. My eyes are always on you," he squinted his eyes. "And when I come back, I want the answer. Right answer to be more specific."Molly rained curses as he left. She banged her fist on the table. "That evil man! How could I fall into his trap? He definitely did this to trouble me! He must be enjoying himself. Just you wait!"At the backside, as Frank saw the caller's name, he straightened up in attention.A call from the Willson family's main residence?That meant it was definitely something important."Frank here."There was a brief period of silence on the other end. "He has some nerve not picking up my call."Frank stiffened.It was none other than the Old Madam of the Willson family.Her authoritarian voice was deadly calm, but he didn't miss the silent storm lurking beneath her supposedly passive countenance. She wasn't a figure to be messed with.It didn't take him a second to guess that the Old Madam was talking about Eric.She must have called him, but he didn't answer. So she approached his assistant, looking for answers.He was thinking hard to salvage the situation. "Old Madam. The Boss might be resting," his voice was slightly strained with anxiety."Is that an excuse for not picking MY call?" She questioned back, making him sweat. "I am sure he hasn't forgotten my position in the family."*****A/N - Oh oh.
