Chapter 12

You think I’m a child?” Frank inquired sarecastically. He was no longer. pretending. The lunch boxes Kara chocs didid offend him. They

minded him of the boy who made him rational last night.

Ssom sin t haven’t had time to buy a specialduccit box for you. So, I wasiorced to.. bonow them from my neignboo.”

Maciding gunner discussion about the cute illustration, Kara rushed to akes one pox. Just then, her finger touched the docellin an instant, hee moze and her eyes widened.

Fosshtomy.could I forget? What if this Pervened Denton sees the wemaames?

Why are you a carnching the box?”

frank stared at Kara for

harm was hard to resist..

It’s good that you’re aware about the muttered as he took off his įlasses. With a “cool” style/heepotteddonhe table. “Put the boxes here!”

Frank actually asked Kara to prepare breakfast for keeping her busy. However, those menus were never served at Harper’s residence since they were considered less luxurious. He couldn’t possibly throw those “rare and precious foods” to homeless people on the street. He even wasn’t willing to give it to Jeremy.

Without paying attention to Kara’s shaking hands, Frank turned to the pile of papers on the table. “This is a summary of your duties?”

Frank flipped through the papers. After skimming, he threw them onto the pile of documents to be destroyed.

“Good. Continue!”

flinched. Her tension suddenly disappeared. How could the CEO check the results of her hard work in just an instant?

“Wait a minute. Why did you throw it there, Sir? Shouldn’t those emails be followed up? Several parties offered potential cooperation for the company’s development.”

Seeing Kara’s round eyes, Frank thought of Emily again. Before suspicion affected his common sense, he looked away as possible.

“All important emails have been followed up,” he said casually.

Kara became even more confused. “Then why did you ask me to ssummarize it?”

“To test your abilities. I can’t just trust new employees.” Frank shrugged. His hands were shoved in his pockets.

Kara released her frustration into the air. She intended to maintain hher attitude in front of her boss. However, her patience also had litimits.

“work here as your secretary, Mr. Harper, not your intern. I also want

company, not

beredd umya mu umu. Do you

realize that this task you gave me is a waste? I don’t want to be paid for nothing and become a burden on the company.”

Frank turned still. Kara looked serious. Her cheeks were red and her shoulders were moving up and down due to her ragged breath.

“Did you just yell at me?” Frank asked in disbelief. A second later, he let out a small sigh. “You can’t wait to get access to the company email, huh?”

“It is not like that!” Kara shook her head swiftly. “I just don’t want the company’s productivity to decrease because of overlapping work. Even if you can’t trust me about access yet, why not give me another, more useful task? Even though my position is low, I still have self- respect. I don’t want to work at Savior Group to make my resume worse. I also want to improve.”

Suddenly, the corners of Frank’s lips twitched. An idea just crossed his mind.

“What a coincidence, Jeremy was out of town on some busines can take his place during his absence. Can you handle it?”

Kara turned doubtful. The gray eyes looked suspicious. However, had a principle of always giving her best effort in every job.

“Of course I can.”

Frank subconsciously lowered his head to hold back laughter. He now had the opportunity to teach the secretary properly.

“Well then, after I finish my breakfast, we’ll leave.”

“Where?”

Frank smiled crookedly again. “CA-19 prototype test run.”

Kara’s heart wavered again. A bad feeling began to cloud her mind.

CEO’s suspicious gaze, was her decision right?

‘Savior Group is known for being intensive in technology research and development. Could one of them involve humans? They could be looking for people who are willing to risk their lives for a high price for the welfare of their families.”

‘This Perverted Demon couldn’t possibly be making me a guinea pig, could he?’

Arriving at the location, Kara was stunned. A large field has been transformed into a racing arena. The edge of the road was lined with thick piles of foam wheels. Near the starting line, there was a car she had never seen before.

“Good morning, Mister Harper. The CA-19 prototype is ready for testing.”

“What is the success percentage?”

The man in the white coat holding a folder looked down. After

swallowing hard, he took a deep breath. “It’s 51%, Sir.”

Kara was wide eyed. Without moving her head, she angled he towards the man next to her. Frank was apparently nodding in

satisfaction.

“Let’s see if that 1% is real or fake. You know the consequences if this prototype fails too, right?”

The researcher subconsciously stepped back and bent his neck deeper. “I know, Sir. But our team is different from the CB-23

prototype team. We will not disappoint you.”

“Good. Then quickly prepare the equipment for me and this lady.”

Kara and the researcher gasped in unison.

“A professional racer is willing to cooperate with us, Sir. You… want to test it by yourself?”

“I want to observe it with my own eyes. Now, quickly prepare the equipment for us and increase the traveling speed to 70 miles per hour.”

While Kara stared dumbfounded at Frank, the researcher stammered,” Isn’t that a bit fast, Sir?”

“That is the maximum speed limit in our country, right?” While raising the corners of his lips, Frank turned to the pale secretary. “I doubt you can take notes in there. So, just remember the assessment points in your brain. You can put it into a report later.”

Kara couldn’t nod anymore. She didn’t know what kind of car she would be driving. However, judging from the researcher’s reaction, it was definitely dangerous. They couldn’t have invited a professional racer if it was an ordinary car, and the guards wouldn’t have been so upset if Frank’s actions hadn’t been reckless.
