- Can I Sleep With You?
Sighing with laughter, Kara studied her boss’ expression. “What for? They will think I’m a prostitute or a material woman who is after your wealth. Isabela or your grandfather will really kill me.”
“If you agree, I will launch my plan tomorrow. So, on that bastard’s wedding day, I can announce that you are the girl of my choice.”
However, Kara still shook her head. Her guts were no longer as big as they used to be. “Thank you for your good intentions, but no. I have absolutely no interest in putting on any kind of show.”
While pulling the blanket, Kara lay down again. “Now I’m very tired. Good night, Frank. Go back to your room.”
However, instead of leaving, the CEO still sat there, watching Kara force her eyes closed.
Not hearing the sound of the door, she peeked. “Why are you still here? I’m going to sleep.”
“Can I sleep with you?”
Kara stared wide eyed. She thought Frank would pressure her to accept the idea, but he didn’t?
“Do you forget? Louis’ room is not far from here,” Kara muttered wit a panicked expression.
Smiling faintly, Frank crawled up to the other side of the bed. “It’s okay. The children are tired of playing all day. They must be fast asleep. And I already took them to the toilet earlier. They’re all safe.”
“No!” Kara elbowed the arm that was about to wrap around her body.” My mother is here.”

“Your mother avoids the stairs. Besides, you’re an adult. There’s no way your mother will come here, check whether you’re asleep or not.”
Before Kara could argue any more, Frank quickly tucked himself into. the blanket and snuggled closer. “You said you were tired? Sleep,
Kara.”
“But-”
“Don’t think about anything, including what I said earlier. Just assume
I was rambling.” Frank pushed Kara’s forehead so that her head touched the pillow. “Sleep! We have to work tomorrow.”
“But this is my room. Why not sleep in your room? Isn’t the bed bigger?”
Suddenly, Frank covered Kara’s mouth with his. Receiving such a sudden attack, the woman widened her eyes. Her thoughts were immediately scattered.
“Sleep. Otherwise, another part of me might wake up.”
Kara blinked with her mouth still agape. Frank smiled slightly when he saw it. “Or, do you want me to continue?”
Without warning, Frank approached again. Before their lips met, Kara turned her back to him. “Sleep.”
Beneath her furrowed brows, her eyes were tightly shut. Her hands were clenched above her heart. Silently, she cursed herself, why her defense was so weak every time she faced Frank Harper.
‘Good, Kara. Sleep. Don’t think about that guy. Just me.’
Actually, that was Frank’s main goal in breaking in. He wanted to get rid of Finnic Miller completely from Kara’s heart-a heart that he was still having difficulty conquering.

“Good morning, Kara,” Frank whispered when the woman in front of him opened her eyes.
Kara frowned. She blinked several times before focusing on the handsome face in front of her. Since when were they facing each. other?
“Did you sleep well?” The man stroked her hair.
“What time is it?”
Kara was about to leave. However, Frank quickly restrained her.
“It’s still too early. There are still a few minutes for morning talk.”
“Morning talk?” Kara asked amused.
The man curled up the corners of his lips. “It’s not about office matters, but about us. So, what are your plans for today?”
Letting Frank stroke her cheek, Kara raised an eyebrow. “I’ll go to the office with you, while Mom and the twins go to the library. After work, we plan to check out the new apartment.”
A big smile rose on Frank’s face. He liked the words “with you” that come from those sweet lips.
“Then, you guys will come back here and have dinner with me?”
