- 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.”
