Frank completely ignored Jouri as she alighted, and he drove off.

Nonetheless, Jouri was smiling as she watched Frank drive into the distance. “You really know how to hide, Frank Lawrence… It took me considerable trouble just to find you!”

It was obvious she knew who Frank was… or indeed, had set up an elaborate plan for him as soon as they met.

The point is simple-she wanted to get in his good graces, what with his vast connections!

And for that, she had to show sincerity, pretending not to know him while sending a hottie like Meg straight to his bed.

Add a big contract with the Ingrams on top of that, Jouri was really convinced that Frank would soon be her friend, and all her efforts would soon be repaid.
