Chapter 31


    31. You’ve Gone Too Far


    Frank shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned forward. “I’m not taking away your freedom. You


    yourself use it to ensure your safety. After all, you get doublepensation for those overtime hours.


    Do you still think it’s not enough?”


    “It’s not just about money, Sir, but freedom.”


    “You want to be free from me?” Frank raised an eyebrow in defiance. Go ahead. Face my grandfather


    alone and don’t look for me if you’ve be a ghost.”


    Kara grimaced in annoyance. The corners of her lips twitched with emotion. “You act like this because


    you are afraid of being defeated, right?”


    Frank didn’t budge. He didn’t expect to get a question like that. Was it possible for Kara to guess the


    feeling that he himself still denied?


    Suddenly, Frankughed as if what Kara had said didn’t make sense.” Defeated? Do you think Ben and


    I fight over you? You’re not special enough for that, Kara Martin.”


    The secretary snorted lightly. “I know that you always want to be the best at everything. If I prefer to


    work with Mr. Wilson, doesn’t it meant you are no better than him? You hate being outmatched. That’s


    why you’re holding me back.”


    “It’s not like that,” Frank denied quickly. “I just don’t want my


    secretary’s performance to decline. You won’t be able to work well if you be the victim of that


    flirtatious man.”


    Kara took a deep breath and shook her head slowly. She had promised herself not to be influenced by


    her boss’s words again.

    “Secretary? Are you sure that I am really a secretary? You’re still restricting my ess in your


    abilities are not needed in Savior.”


    Frank snorted again. “Nonsense.”


    “I said it as it is. Rather than a secretary, I am more like a toy for your to relieve boredom.”


    Frank’s breath hitched. His expression turned tense. He just realized that Kara’s eyes were starting to


    fill with tears. The girl must have been unable to hold back her annoyance.


    “I never thought of you that way. You’re quite a capable secretary. Even though you often cause


    problems, you do all your tasks well. Some of the reports you made were also quite helpful.”


    “Then, please give me some leeway. Leaving before sunrise anding homete at night is very


    tiring, Sir.”


    Kara’s expression was firm. She didn’t want toin. She just needed to make Frank aware that his


    treatment had been outrageous. Kara didn’t know how long she would be able to endure it.


    “You’re asking for freedom so you can date Ben?” Frank said unexpectedly.


    Karaughed sadly. “Why do you keep calling it a date? It was just dinner. And I ask for leeway not for


    that, but for my own happiness.”


    “Still I won’t allow it!” Frank rebuked.


    Kara flinched slightly. The girl now doubted that returning to the Savior Group was the best choice for


    her.


    At that moment, the phone in Kara’s hand vibrated. Seeing the screen flicker, Frank’s expression


    darkened even more. He thought it was.

    TUTIN


    “From this moment on, don’t have anything to do with Ben anymore!”


    Kara’s jaw dropped. Not out of annoyance, but panic. It must have been a call from the twins. It could


    be bad if Frank epted it.

    “Sir! You have really gone too far. Give me my phone back!”


    “You should be grateful, Kara. I help you to remain faithful to your lover.”


    Sudden confusion slipped between Kara’s furrowed brows. “Lover? What are you talking about?”


    “I know you already have a boyfriend. You can’t just forget about him because of Ben.”


    Kara shook her head faintly. She really didn’t understand her boss’ brain. Frank Harper seemed to


    have taken the wrong medication.


    “I don’t know what you’re really talking about, but please give me my phone back.”


    The phone suddenly stopped vibrating, leaving the notification “1 missed call” on the screen. Frank


    smiled crookedly at it then pocketed the phone.


    “Your phone is confiscated until the coboration project with Ben’spany ispleted. I’ll buy a


    new one instead.”


    Kara’s eyes grew wider. She couldn’t let that happen. There were many photos of her with the twins in


    the gallery. Frank could just check it out for fun. The identity of the twins could be revealed.


    “That can’t be the case, Sir. There is a lot of important data and personal documentation on that phone.


    If you confiscate it, it’s the same as theft,” Kara exined with round eyes. She had forgotten the


    debate about freedom. The most important thing now was to protect


    “I will move all the data to the new phone.”


    “No!” Kara flinched at the sound of her own voice. “You should never check a woman’s phone, Sir. It is


    not polite.”


    Frank’s brow furrowed. His hand reached for the phone again. “Is there something I shouldn’t know


    here?”


    “It is not like that.” Kara panicked even more. She had to immediately find an excuse. Finally, she


    closed her eyes and clenched her fists.” There’s a photo of me naked in there.”


    Frank froze. His finger that was almost touching the screen shook up and down, and his eyes were


    glued to it. He was worried that his


    imagination would run wild if he saw the body of the girl in front of him directly. 2


    Suddenly, a call came again. The word “Mother” popped up on the


    screen.


    “It was your mother who called?” Frank muttered dryly. He just realized that his guess was wrong.


    Kara spontaneously grabbed her phone. Running out, she answered the call, “Yes, Honey?”


    Frank gasped. ‘The one she called ‘Honey’ is her mother?’


    After a moment of silence, heughed dryly. He just realized that half of his jealousy was unfounded.


    ‘As I thought, an annoying woman like Kara can’t possibly have a boyfriend. No one will want to target


    her other than Ben.’


    Frank felt lighter now. No more tightness in his chest. However, remembering how sweet Kara was


    towards Ben, his smile shrank again.


    Ks attention. Even though that stupid


    woman doesn’t have a boyfriend yet, she still have to stay away from any man. Kara can only serve


    me.”


    “Philip!”


    The temporary assistant rushed into the room. “Yes, Sir?”


    “Bring me the chocte that Ben gave Kara earlier.”


    “Okay, Sir!”


    While Philip was away on assignment, Frank called a number on his personal cell phone.


    “Good afternoon, Mister Harper. Chania Factory is here. Anything we can help?”


    “Okay, Sir.”


    After hanging up the phone, Frank smiled slightly. He couldn’t wait to see Kara’s reaction when she


    saw his giftter.

    “The twins are very excited. They would definitely be disappointed if I couldn’t send them to that


    school.”


    While bowing her head wearily, Kara came out of the restroom. She wondered if the chocte she had


    just received could be used to


    cheer up the twins. However, as she arrived at her desk, her eyes widened.


    ‘Where is the chocte?’
