Chapter 28
28. Jealousy
In the afternoon, Kara sat at her work desk while supporting her head
with one hand. Her eyes closed asionally. 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 ring at her from behind the ss.
“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 nces. 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 walkedzily towards the elevator. She didn’t realize that the guards smiled slightly every time they
nced 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, heughed 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 sd.” 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
red at her with an annoyed look.
“Didn’t I tell you to buy food?”
“Yes, but Mr. Wilson has brought it himself.”
A secondter, 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 ss. Now, the two people were openly showing intimacy?
“You know each other?”
Ben and Kara nced 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 muchpared 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 youin 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 nced 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 ster

“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.”
A sigh escaped Ben’s mouth quickly. “I didn’t expect you to finally open up to women. What about
Isab? Does she know that you choose a girl who is inferior to her?”
“Is she that great?”
Frank nodded lightly. “Yes.”
“Including the bed service? How is her performance?”
Frank smiled. He had to keep ying 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 exin, that means you’re lying.” He sat rxed 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 almostughed. 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?”
“Isab.”
Frankughed 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.”
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 ept her?
