But that was fine, as Jada had more than proven her loyalty, and he could pretend it was a reward after she worked for him for so long.

As Demi returned to her seat with him, she flashed a big thumbs-up at him. "You really can't tell from appearances-you're a real box of surprise!"

Frank smiled but said nothing-one could pretend to be poor but actually should not be.
