5. Game Starts
Looking at Kara’s stiffness, the corners of Frank’s lips lifted slightly.” But, if you want to use this
situation as an opportunity, that’s fine. Savior Group has a vision to save people’s futures. Maybe,
three. months of working here, your mindset can change. Trust me. Your future will be bleak if your
personality is still like this.”
Kara clenched her jaw. She began to have difficulty as her blood
boiled.
‘You’re the one who makes my life bleak!”
Kara wanted to scream it. However, she still had to live. Now, the best way was to be patient.
“You don’t mind seeing my face for three months?”
Frank smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow. His response made Vivian massage her temples. She
knew that the CEO was definitely planning something.
“Okay. I will be your secretary for the next three months,” Kara said firmly.
The girl understood that her work would not be easy. That Perve Demon couldn’t possibly let her be in
peace. However, it would Kara if she didn’t have a solution to her difficulties.
‘Just wait, Frank Harper! Before three months, I will have left this company. You won’t like having a
secretary like me.”
‘Just wait, Miss Shameless! The next three months will be
unforgettable moments in your life. You will beg for forgiveness from me, and admit that arrogance is
not a tool to elevate your status.”

“Sir, why are you bringing up what happened four years ago? Didn’t you ask me to stop investigating
it?”
Hearing that question, the man who had just sat in his chair turned still. The citrus aroma that
registered in his nose came back to his mind, as did Kara’s familiar innocent face in his mind. However,
he couldn’t possibly answer honestly. His honor and dignity could slump.
“Did you forget? Ben contacted me again. He seemed dissatisfied with me rejecting his request four
years ago. It could be that he was secretly preparing a long-term plan regarding that incident. If that’s
true, we’ve missed out. I shouldn’t have told you to stop the investigation just because the girl
disappeared from civilization.”
Frank leaned back in his chair. His face looked annoyed. However, his heart was restless. He was
afraid that his arrogance would turn into a deadly boomerang.
‘Why didn’t I anticipate it from the start? I shouldn’t just let her go. She could have come back with a
child. Her presence could be an atomic bomb that destroys my reputation and company.”
“It would be good for you to stop suspecting Ben Wilson, Sir. The evidence I gathered wasn’t enough to
draw a conclusion.”
Frank raised an eyebrow. Before Jeremy lectured him at length, raised his hand. He didn’t care if his
confidant was two years old than him. Jeremy’s position was not higher than him.
“I hope you haven’t forgotten. I was suddenly in a mess after meeting him at that bar. If he wasn’t the
one who put drugs in my drink, who would? With nine bodyguards plus you, the only person who had
the chance to do that was Ben. Unless, you can confirm that a bartender did it.’
Understanding the implied order in that statement, Jeremy nodded. He had been Frank’s closest
person for five years. He
more..
“Okay, I will continue the investigation. Then, what about Kara Martin? Should I search for information
about her?”
A small laugh escaped Frank’s mouth. His ears itched hearing that name. “We don’t need to waste time
and energy on that lowly girl.”
“But you kept her here. Wouldn’t that actually disrupt your
performance? Or perhaps, you are attracted to her? You don’t usually keep employees who like to do
trouble, Sir.”
The curve of Frank’s lips suddenly became inverted. Jeremy’s guess
had frozen his heart.
“Watch your mouth! Have you forgotten that I already have an almost perfect fiancee? I can’t possibly
be interested in a geeky girl like that.”
Frank glanced at Kara with a disgusted expression. The girl behind the glass was busy reading a
guidebook.
“But you never harbored feelings for Isabela, Sir. Your relationship is still in place. I don’t think it’s
impossible if you are attracted to Kara Martin. She is beautiful, intelligent, and brave-very suitable to
win your heart.”
“You don’t love your tongue anymore, hmm?” Frank said sarcastically. “Stop your nonsense. Now,
quickly call that geeky girl here.”
‘The game should start soon.’
Jeremy secretly smiled. He had observed Frank Harper’s behavior when facing women. The CEO
always kept his distance, even from Isabela.
However, with Kara Martin earlier, they were too close. Jeremy even thought that Frank would kiss her.
“Miss Martin, Mr. Harper calls you to his room,” Jeremy said with a
of his short imagination.
Seeing Jeremy’s friendliness, Kara’s eyes widened. He looked scarier than the Lewd Demon. She had
thought that Jeremy was the head of the bodyguard. But apparently, the man was much warmer.
With such a polite request, Kara didn’t need much time to make it happen. She stepped lightly towards
the CEO’s room.
However, when she saw Frank’s cold look, her heart became heavy again. It was hard to believe that
she would often meet those gray eyes from now on.
“You think I’m paying you just to relax?” The man’s tone was as disturbing as his cynical gaze.
“I read the manual, not relax. Mrs. Bell gave me a day to study your habits.”
“Your boss is me, not her. You should listen to my words. Now get to
work!”
Kara gaped wordlessly. Her round eyes flickered like a doll. She hadn’t read the guide. How could she
possibly work?
“What should I do?” she asked without thinking.
Frank sighed in disbelief. “You’re Mrs. Bell’s choice, but don’t
understand the duties of a secretary?”
Kara’s lips immediately pursed. She was still not used to the boss’s
constant sarcasm.
“You are the boss, but reluctant to give clear instructions to employees? Did you buy the best CEO
award or what?”
The crooked smile on Frank’s face turned stiff. His hands itched,
wanting to pull his shirt collar. Kara Martin turned out to be adept at
MUNITY
“You want instructions?” His tone was suspicious.
With narrowed eyes, Frank got up from the chair. Then, shoving his hands in his pockets, he watched
Kara from three feet away.
Kara.
Before Kara could reply, the CEO spoke again.
Kara rolled her eyes. She was fed up with Frank’s attitude of always putting her down. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Third, take care of your appearance. You are one of the
representatives of the Savior Group, so you have to look neat and smart. Don’t let clients look down on
you because of your
appearance.”
“What’s wrong with my appearance?” Kara couldn’t hold back her grumbling any longer.
Frank suddenly stopped right in front of Kara. His gray eyes began to examine the girl from head to toe.
