Frank then returned to his Maybach to find it congested, with the ladies arguing endlessly on who got to ride shotgun.

"Hmph. I've ridden shotgun with my darling many times anyway," Vicky huffed, folding her arms before her chest.

"Don't worry. Vicky has my back!" Kiki grinned and winked at Vicky, while Vicky smiled in turn.
"Then take care." Frank nodded. "You can still givea shout if you run into trouble again." "Sure." Kiki smiled as she parted ways with them.

Shrugging, he said, "Just cut to the chase. Honestly, you talk like Vicky these days." "Huh.?" Helen's smile stiffened, and she frowned as she wondered if Frank was right.
She eventually sighed because he was indeed right—Vicky was having an influence over her since they had been hanging out a lot lately.
