"Do you a favor?" Leino frowned and asked coolly, "And who are you?" "Helen Lane, board chairwoman of Zamri's Lanecorp." "Helen Lane..."

"The mayor of Bralog," Frank said quietly, not bothered to keep Helen in suspense.
"Pfft..." Huub pretended to laugh out loud right then, even if he was really jealous of Frank and would kill him, on the spot to take Helen from him "You've really done it now, Frank!
