Chapter 67

The next day, Kara didn’t smile or look friendly at all in the office. She’s like a female version of cold Frank Harper.

When she entered the CEO’s room, Frank even raised an eyebrow. He didn’t like the aura Kara was emitting.

‘Did she deliberately change her image to keep me away?’

After clearing his throat, Frank curled up his lips. “You got home safely yesterday?”

“Of course. Otherwise, how could I be standing here?”

Frank’s cheek twitched. He wasn’t used to dealing with Kara who was

super curt.

“What are you calling me for?” the girl asked in an unhappy tone.

Frank sighed in resignation. He could feel that the possibility of Kara being willing to move to a new apartment was now getting slimmer

“You know that property and construction is one of Savior’s businesses, right?”

Kara nodded.

“Then, can you be my guinea pig again?”

Kara’s eyebrows furrowed.

“I want you to live in Savior’s new apartment for one month. You can invite your family. After that, give your testimony.”

Kara’s face became wrinkled. She was late reading Jeremy’s

message last night. When she checked out the window, Frank’s car was gone. The man must have felt guilty for her humble abode.

“I don’t want to.”

Frank did his best to hide his disappointment. “Why? Is one month too long?”

“I’m not stupid, Sir.” Kara raised her chin. There was no doubt in her words. “I hope you don’t forget. Our relationship is strictly for business. It would be unreasonable for a boss to give an apartment to his secretary.”

“I didn’t give it to you.”

“If there’s nothing else you want to talk about, excuse me.”

Without giving the CEO a chance to speak, Kara stepped out. Frank could only stare at her back. The chocolate in the drawer had to be hidden longer.

“This is much harder than I imagined,” he muttered helplessly.

Meanwhile, Kara walked straight towards the toilet. She needed time to calm down. Being rude to people she cared about was not easy for

her.

“Good job, Kara,” she said to her reflection in the mirror. “The really needs to be affirmed. He has to realize that Kara Martin is the right person for him.”

However, just as she was about to wash her hands, her gaze was fixed on the watch on her wrist.

“I must be crazy. Why did I choose this watch this morning?”

As she took off the smart watch, a message came in. ‘I think we have an agreement, but why is Isabel still reporting bad news to me?’

Kara snorted. “It’s not my fault that Frank doesn’t like her. That’s just

how she behaves.”.

Kara was too lazy to argue. Without replying to the message, she pocketed the watch and returned to her desk.

Without a smile, the day felt sour. The burden carried became

heavier. Kara felt many times more tired than usual. Moreover, the twins did not contact her during the break.

Kara realized that her mood was affecting Frank and the guards. However, she didn’t mind. That’s the goal.

The more Frank was bothered by her presence, the quicker he let go. Her life could return to “normal”.

“Miss Martin, Young Master calls you to his room,” Jeremy said as Kara prepared to go home.

Kara’s eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. “Thanks, Jeremy.”

However, instead of meeting the CEO, she took her bag and walked towards the elevator. Witnessing it, Frank’s eyes widened. Quick as lightning, he chased after her.

“Kara, wait.”

Unfortunately, the secretary kept walking. Frank had to hold her arm to stop her. He no longer cared if the guards witnessed their closeness or even knew how he felt. He had ignored his prestige for a long time.

“Kara, I called you. Why did you just leave?”

“Working hours is over, Sir. If there’s anything you want to talk about, do it tomorrow.”

Receiving such a light answer, Frank sighed heavily. His expression grew creased. “This is not in our agreement. You promised to stay by my side if I obeyed my grandfather.”

Kara looked at him coldly. “I still work here, right? What are you

uryunny

“But this isn’t you.” Frank’s voice turned hoarse.

Unexpectedly, Kara snorted. “This is the real me. If you can’t stand it, then fire me.”

Frank was at a loss for words. He had been holding back his anger all day. Now, Kara burned all the remaining patience.

“Why do you keep forcing me to let you go?” Frank whispered with a hint of hope.

Kara was almost moved. However, while clenching her fists, she raised her chin. “Because I have to.”

After jerking her arm, Kara walked towards the elevator. She didn’t look back at all. Even when she turned around to press the elevator button, she seemed nonchalant. Frank’s chest became tighter and tighter.

“Jeremy….”

The assistant swiftly approached his boss.

“Your car key.” One of Frank’s hands faced up.

Jeremy and the guards raised their eyebrows together.

“Do we need to accompany you?” Jeremy asked as he handed over the key of his new car.

“Go home and rest.”

After delivering that cold answer, Frank entered the elevator next door.

Kara was unaware that Frank was following her. Along the way, she kept daydreaming. Part of her heart felt sorry for the CEO; the other part felt numb.

She didn’t dare think about the cause, afraid that if it turned out, she

Arriving at the apartment, Kara finally snapped out of her reverie. There was no one at home.

“Where are they?”

Suddenly, Kara’s cell phone vibrated. With furrowed brows, she answered the call.

“Mom, where are you?”

“Kara,” Susan said in a slightly shaky voice. “Are you home?”

Kara nodded slightly. Her neck stiffened. However, as best she could, she pushed the bad feeling out of her brain. “Yes. What’s wrong,

Mom?”

“Well….” Susan sounded more doubtful and anxious. “There was a small incident at the library this afternoon.”

“Small incident?”

Kara’s eyes widened. Her throat was dry. Remembering Rowan’s message which she ignored earlier, her heart beat erratically.

“Louis was crushed by books. But you don’t need to worry. His hand is already in a cast.”

“In a cast?” Kara’s face turned pale. Her hands that were clenched against her chest were now as cold as a block of ice.

“The bones are just cracked. Not a serious problem. It will heal in three weeks.” Susan hurriedly explained.

However, Kara’s tears had already welled up. She could not imagine that her son would have a birthday with his hand wrapped in a cast.

“How is Louis doing now?” she sighed holding back sobs.

“Good. He can already laugh. But he needs to be treated here for two

uuys,

Without wasting any time, Kara took the bag. She filled it with clothes and some equipment. She didn’t forget to put Emily’s favorite plush and Louis’ favorite mini car into it. After everything was ready, she rushed to the hospital.

Seeing Kara come out with a bag and a worried expression, Frank straightened his back from the backrest. Previously, he was just daydreaming while thinking about ways to melt Kara’s heart. But now, his eyes were narrowed, observing her movements.

“Where is she going? And who does she call?”

Suddenly, Kara turned to him. Frank spontaneously backed away. Even though the car windows were dark, he didn’t want to take any risks. If his whereabouts were discovered, the secretary would be

furious.

“Jeremy?” Kara sighed with teary eyes. She seemed to see hope.

After removing the phone from her ear, Kara walked towards the car. Frank subconsciously held his breath. In his heart, he wondered what his secretary was going to do.
