Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

28. Jealousy

In the afternoon, Kara sat at her work desk while supporting her head

with one hand. Her eyes closed occasionally. Only when the phone. rang did her back straighten.

“Good morning. Frank Harper’s office.”

“I pay you to work, not sleep.”

Kara looked at the mirror in front of her. The CEO must have been glaring at her from behind the glass.

“Sorry, Sir. It’s not my fault that I’m sleepy. You’re the one who drained. my energy. Don’t you remember how I was panting and drenched in sweat this morning? I couldn’t even walk.”

The guards exchanged glances. When they arrived at the mansion this morning, Frank and Kara were both taking a shower. If it was a usual day, their boss must be already in a neat condition. Frank Harper must have done something important with his secretary. Het was even willing to postpone his departure for that activity.

“My friend will arrive soon. Hurry up and buy us lunch. No need to go. far. Just look for it at the cafe on the 5th floor.”

Kara walked lazily towards the elevator. She didn’t realize that the guards smiled slightly every time they glanced at her tired face.

However, as the elevator doors opened, Kara’s eyes immediately opened wide. “Mr. Wilson?”

That was the man who knew her status as a single mother of two!

“Kara Martin?” Ben pointed his index finger and put on a surprised expression. After a moment of silence, he laughed briefly. “You work. here?”

Kara smiled, but her heart wanted to cry.

“You’re Frank’s secretary?” Ben guessed again.

Kara nodded stiffly. “Yes, he just order me to buy lunch for a guest. Apparently, it was for you?”

“You don’t need to bother. I’ve brought two boxes of salad.” Bent carried his lunch bag higher. “So, how are Louis and his beautiful

sister?”

Kara’s eyes almost left her head. Her mouth was open but she seemed to be having difficulty getting words out.

“About that….”

Kara leaned closer, whispering with a grimace, “I know you’re Mr. Harper’s friend, but… can you help me? I faked my status when I applied for a job here.”

Ben’s jaw dropped. “So, Frank didn’t know you were a single mother.

Kara widened her grin and nodded. “You don’t mind, do you?”

Ben shrugged his shoulders. “Sure. Now, why don’t you take me to

see Frank?”

“Thank you for your wisdom, Sir.”

They had a small chat as they walked towards the CEO’s room. When Kara entered, Frank immediately glared at her with an annoyed look.

“Didn’t I tell you to buy food?”

“Yes, but Mr. Wilson has brought it himself.”

A second later, Ben slipped through the narrow gap behind the secretary. “Kara’s right. I brought our lunch.”

Hearing how Ben called Kara, Frank’s heart became more restless.

the glass. Now, the two people were openly showing intimacy?

“You know each other?”

Ben and Kara glanced at each other. After a small smile, Ben answered, “Yes. Your secretary once had dinner at my family’s.

restaurant.”

“That’s right. I came with my mother,” Kara added.

Frank’s eyes narrowed even more. “There are many customers there. It’s impossible you remember them all.”

“Of course not. It’s just that Kara stands out too much compared to the others. She looked very beautiful and elegant that night.”

Frank snorted. “Is that so?”

“I was impressed with her and gave her my business card. But, until now, she hasn’t contacted me. Who would have thought, we would meet here, in your office.”

Frank’s expression turned gloomy. He looked at Kara full of jealousy.

“Kara, didn’t you complain that you were tired because of what we did this morning? You said I made you breathless and sweaty. You even had difficulty walking,” Frank said in a provoking tone.

Ben raised an eyebrow. Secretly, he glanced at Kara.

Kara didn’t look like she wanted to protest. Was it possible for such. an innocent girl to let someone as arrogant as Frank dominating her? Even in the morning?

“How about you rest? Refresh your body and mind. And don’t forget to treat the marks on your neck. You can use my ointment from.

yesterday.”

Ben lowered his gaze towards Kara’s neck. There was a plaster

“Remember,” Frank suddenly lowered his volume, “I don’t want anyone else to see it. Just the two of us may know.”

Kara covered her neck and blushed. She didn’t understand Frank’s purpose in saying something like that in front of Ben.

“Okay. Thank you, Sir. Now excuse me.”

As Kara left, Ben looked at Frank with a faint shake of his head. ” Where did you find such a beautiful secretary? I want one too.”

“There’s probably only one in the world. Sorry, I’ve already taken her.”

Casually, Ben put his lunch bag on the table. “You two look close.”

Hearing that long-awaited sentence, Frank widened his smile and shrugged his shoulders. “She’s actually not just my secretary, but also my servant. You understand what I mean, right?”

A sigh escaped Ben’s mouth quickly. “I didn’t expect you to finally open up to women. What about Isabela? Does she know that you choose a girl who is inferior to her?”

“Don’t underestimate Kara, Ben. You don’t know what she’s capable. of.” Frank put his hands together then rested his elbows on the table. His expression looked relaxed, not like someone who was bragging.

“Is she that great?”

Frank nodded lightly. “Yes.”

“Including the bed service? How is her performance?”

Frank smiled. He had to keep playing his part or his jerk friend would take Kara as his own.

“That’s our privacy, Ben. I don’t want you to use it for your pleasure.”

Ben snorted slightly. He had gathered information about Kara. He

“If you can’t explain, that means you’re lying.” He sat relaxed in a chair, crossing his arms in front of his chest. His chin lifted in defiance.

“It’s up to you to believe it or not. I just want to remind you that I really don’t like it when mine is disturbed.”

Ben almost laughed. However, quickly, he curled his lips and nodded. ” Then it’s a waste of me to give in to you.”

Frank’s eyebrows knitted together. “What do you mean?”

“Isabela.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Frank laughed dryly at that answer. “Didn’t I already tell you? You don’t need to give in. I’d be happy if you could keep that girl away from me.”

“You gave up Isabela for me but not Kara?” Ben lowered his tone. He sounded dismissive. “Since when does Frank Harper like lower class girls? Are you sure your grandfather will agree?”

Frank’s jaw tightened at the attack. It reminded him that he still hadn’t found a solution to avoid the arranged marriage.

Should he use Kara in his strategy? How could he get Rowan to accept her?
