After what happened in the morning, Trixie obviously felt Frank was acting differently. He seemed to
avoid her deliberately and even asked other colleagues to show her the documents, making Trixie
more suspicious of his relationship with the club.
She even speculated whether Frank had joined "taboo love."
However, since Trixie joined the company, she had never heard of Frank's girlfriend, let alone his wife,
so he had no conditions to enter the club.
Given the situation, why was he so resistant to join the club? Didn't Frank like those kinds of things?
No, Trixie didn't believe it anyway. Although Frank did not have a girlfriend, there were many women
around him. Sleeping with women was common. He even brought someone to the company.
Because of Trixie's thoughts, she was very resistant to her pursuit of Frank.
She just wanted a harmonious and beautiful home, a husband who loved her, and a lovely child, that's
all. So even if she noticed that Daryl was acting suspicious, she never considered Frank.
They were not suitable.
Recently, the workload was a bit heavy, and Trixie had been busy. She didn't even eat lunch in the
afternoon. After finishing the work, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone in the
company had almost left.
Trixie sent a message to Daryl to let him go to school and pick up Kinsley, just as she could rest for a
while.
After stretching her arms, Trixie stood up from her position and was about to pack up her things and
leave when she was suddenly stopped by Frank.
"Are you in a hurry to go home?"
Trixie wanted to reconsider, so she looked at the time, shook her head to Frank, and replied, "No, I'm
not in a hurry."
"Then have a cup of coffee with me." Frank invited, but Trixie listened to his tone like a request.
Thinking that he had nothing to do anyway, she agreed.
She followed Frank into the office. Trixie stood at the corner and watched Frank tinkering with the
coffee machine.
She and Daryl also drank coffee sometimes, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They both drank
instant coffee. Although there was a coffee machine at home, she and Daryl hadn't use it once, and it
was covered with dust.
Now looking at Frank playing with the coffee machine, she thought it's a bit fun.
"Just sit down, just for a while." Trixie sat on the sofa, watching Frank busy while talking to him.
"Director Jacob, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask away."
"Do you know anything about the Forbidden Love Club?"
Frank was silent for a moment, and the sound of grinding coffee beans on his hands also stopped.
After a while, the sound of grinding coffee beans sounded again, and Frank sighed.
"I did check a little before, but I haven't checked it since then. I know you are impatient about your
husband, but it is not a good idea to check through the club."
"But..."
"No buts!" Frank suddenly raised his voice, then realized that he might frighten Trixie, so he relieved his
tone. "If you asked Mike Andrews, you should know that if you join the club, you must accept the
exchange game."
"I can refuse."
"You can't refuse." Frank turned around and looked Trixie in the eyes, with a very certain tone.
Looking at his eyes, Trixie felt that he didn't seem to be lying. If he was serious, how did he knew when
he's not part of the club?
"If you refuse, they will threaten you through the videos and materials you provide." Frank said as he
filtered the ground coffee powder and then boiled the water for brewing.
"My parents once joined, then regretted that they wanted to quit, and they got away completely after
several twists and turns. Although the price is half of the family's property."
Speaking of those, Frank was very calm, and his tone did not stir from beginning to end.
On the contrary, Trixie was shocked. She never thought that Frank would experience this.
"Sorry... I shouldn't have asked."
"Don't worry about it." Frank didn't seem to care. He brought the brewed coffee to Trixie and then sat
opposite to her.
"These things were already done, it is a fact, and there is nothing to hide. Trixie, I like you, so I don't
want you to make such a big sacrifice for your husband. It is too costly and unfair to you."
Trixie lowered her head and looked at the coffee in the cup without speaking.
After a long time of silence, she spoke in a stuffy voice, "Thank you for your kindness, but this is my
business. Besides, this is my own choice, and I want to know the truth."
Trixie's obstinacy made Frank somewhat helpless. "If you insist on this, I have nothing to say."
Because the conversation was not speculative, the conversation between the two ended.
After drinking coffee, Trixie excused herself to pick up Kinsley and then left in a hurry.
When she arrived downstairs at the company, she hurriedly took a taxi and left, fearing what Frank
would see. To tell the truth, she felt that she and Frank were only subordinates in the company. Frank
liked her, which was his own business and had nothing to do with her.
Therefore, when Frank intervened, Trixie felt that he was redundant and could not help but resist him
even more.
After getting home, Daryl had taken Kinsley back.
Trixie had just opened the door with the key when Kinsley swooped like a fawn and got into her arms.
Trixie's unhappiness just vanished after she saw her daughter. So she picked up Kinsley, walked to the
kitchen door, and looked at Daryl, who was busy cooking in the kitchen.
"Honey, play with Kinsley first. I am making your favorite sweet and sour fish today, and it will be ready
soon!" Daryl looked like in a good mood, with a smile on his face and pear vortex on his cheeks.
"Have you handled everything in the branch?"
"The accounts are quite clean. It seems that Hailey can do things well."
Just after that, Daryl realized that Trixie was still there and quickly said, "Honey, you can rest assured
that when the branch office is stable, I will find someone and change her as soon as possible."
"Don't worry about it." Trixie laughed aloud, "By the way, when did you drink with Director Jacob? He
was drunk and told me about Hailey. Two days ago, he asked me about Hailey again, and I don't know
how to react."
After listening to Trixie's words, Daryl's smile stiffened for a moment and then quickly recovered calm.
In addition, Frank told her about Daryl's dismissal of Hailey. Trixie was very happy, and her
unhappiness caused by Hailey was scattered.
Just as Daryl was serving, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door.
Trixie frowned. "Who is it?"
"Express delivery."
Trixie opened the door, and the delivery person ran away, leaving only an ugly cardboard box at the
door.. She looked at the above information, and it was sent to Daryl.
