Kat appeared surprised but soon poked a finger on Frank's cheek, breathing softly, "MasterLawrence?"

Frank kept pretending to sleep.

"You're pretending to be asleep, aren't you?" Kat snapped impatiently as she stood by his bed.Frank still did not move.

"Heh. In that case, this ain't my fault..."

She quietly took off her shoes, dangling it in front of Frank's nose.

Frank's brow wrinkled right then, and he sat up and snapped in annoyance, "That's enough!"

He saw beneath the moonlight that Kat had once again caked her cheeks with makeup and put onthat white wig as well.

"You're a girl," Frank growled irritatedly. "Why do you have to keep sneaking into my room likewe're actually up to something? What if your father sees us? What would he think of me?!""Hehe... I knew you were faking it," Kat giggled mischievously, before saying mysteriously, “I have afavor to ask, okay?"

"You've been asking for plenty of favors, don't you think?" Frank snorted, laying back down in bedwhile waving her off impatiently as if chasing off a housefly.

"Come on, be nice!” Kat groaned. "A pretty girl like me is asking. Shouldn't a man like you...Y'know?"

"A girl?" Frank chuckled coolly. "Does that grant you special privileges? The way I see it, everyone iscreated equal.”

"Oh, could you stop being so stubborn?" Kat huffed and grabbed Frank by the arm, tugging as hardas she could. "Just help me out one last time! It's the last time, I promise!"

"Fine. What is it?" Frank asked, sitting up as she was really a pain.

"Hehe. Sneak me out of here." Kat winked and smiled, sticking out her tongue. "My dad willdefinitely stop me from going out this late, but that won't be the case if you side with me. And Ipromise this will be the last time I ask for a favor. I won't ever bother you after this, so prettyplease!”

Frank sighed—the kid was really an enigma.

Getting out of bed, he growled. "You said it yourself. It's the last time."

"Yes! The last!" Kat nodded repeatedly.

However, even as they stepped outside, they found Nash standing in the middle of the hallway evenbefore they could come up with an excuse to sneak out.

"Where are you going this time, Kat?" Nash sighed, feeling tired and pained.

"Oh, I'm not planning to go out. Mr. Lawrence is, and I'm just tagging along.”

Frank was speechless.

Meeting Nash's gaze, he braced himself and said, "I have an errand.”

His words left Nash stumped, since he had no excuse to stop Frank.

Turning back to Kat, he asked, "Why are you going with Mr. Lawrence? It's the middle of the night.It's very dangerous!"

Kat scowled in annoyance. "Well, I have Master Lawrence with me, and I just need a breath of freshair. Don't bother.”

"Mr. Lawrence..."

"Don't worry." Frank nodded at Nash. "It's just a business discussion. Nothing too dangerous.”
