Come to think of it, he faintly remembered smelling something similar moments before he dozed off last night too…
It took him a while, but he eventually asked, “…What perfume are you using?”
Though Rea froze for a moment, she lifted her arm to take a slight sniff before replying, “…Perfume? I’m not wearing any, though… Maybe you’d like to take a closer sniff…?”
Watching as she exposed her underarm, Frank immediately squinted before growling, “…That’s enough. Go change into something presentable already and wait for me in the dining hall. I’ll go take a shower.”
After Frank closed the door behind him, Rea heaved a sigh of relief. Damn it, she had forgotten to properly get rid of the smell last night… Thank God Frank hadn’t chosen to continue suspecting her…
Shaking her head, she then quickly did as she was told… and by the time Frank arrived at the dining hall, she was already waiting for him.
He had apparently made a simple dish of pasta on his way over, and after placing it in front of her, he simply said, “Enjoy your meal.”
Following that, he turned to leave, instantly causing Rea to raise a slight brow. Chasing after him, she soon saw him entering his car… but upon noticing her, he quickly closed the door and drove off without another word. No way was he staying a second longer for that idiot! That aside…
His mind was still preoccupied with how he had managed to sleep for so long last night… He really needed to contact the hypnotist again. With enough luck and effort, this could be his chance to finally deal with this issue!
Alas, when he finally arrived at his office, his anxious secretary walked up to him and said, “…S-Sir… The hypnotist… Didn’t take the job…”
…What? Who in the right mind would decline that much money?! It took him a while, but he eventually clenched his fists before replying, “…I see. Continue looking for other alternatives, then. And remember. Don’t let anyone find out about this.”
The last thing he wanted was for his loved ones to learn about his saddening condition…
