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 double compensation 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 become 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, Frank laughed 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 prefe

Sensing the fear in the air, Frank spoke up. “You have misunderstood, Grandpa.” "Shut up!" Frank was pierced by his grandfather's sharp gaze. Pressing his lips together, he clenched his fists. He really didn't expect that his prank could bring about such a big disaster. "You! Why do you dare attack my grandson?” Kara's lips trembled violently. Her hands were linked in front of her stomach, protecting and squeezing each other. She didn't have time to think about her messy hair anymore. "Sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to hurt your grandson. I was upset because he snatched my chocolate and—” “Is that a good reason to attack him?” Rowan interrupted sarcastically. "It is not like that. My hand accidentally hit his face. Then he pulled my hair.” “And you fought back?” Rowan’s voice broke Kara's will to defend herself. Her lips were trembling without words as Rowan turned to Frank. “Have you forgotten what I taught you? An eye for an eye. Why did you pull her hair instead of slapping he

"Good evening, Mrs. Kara Martin? I'm Cathy from the Savior Scholarship Organizers. I hope you don’t mind that I contact you at this time. I've been trying to reach you since this afternoon." Kara quickly checked the notification panel. There were 12 missed calls. "I’m truly sorry. I'm a bit busy today," she answered awkwardly. Her brain started to wonder whether it was the right time to turn down the scholarship or not. She could not let Louis and Emily to be anywhere near Frank, let alone Rowan Harper. “Once again, we congratulate your children for their scholarship achievement. Now, we look forward to your cooperation to complete some of the documents.” Kara didn't fully pay attention to the documents she had to prepare. She was too busy compiling logical reasons to convey. However, as she was about to interrupt, the caller had already changed the topic. “For the inaugural event this Saturday, the founder of Savior Group invites the three of you to attend. We will provide speci

Suddenly, the dream played in Frank's mind. Remembering how real the touch felt, he gasped. ‘Oh my God!’ Frank stared at his own hands. ‘I really touched her?’ After swallowing hard, Frank started to stammer. "Don't get me wrong, Kara. I didn't mean to take the opportunity. I didn't even realize what I was doing." Kara didn't answer. She was too busy catching her breath. She did not want to let out a sob. "Trust me. I do not mean—" "You lecherous man! Don't expect me to forgive you. Starting today, I quit." After throwing pillows at Frank, Kara got out of bed. "Wait a minute, Kara. Please don't be reckless." Frank tried to stop her, but the girl slapped his hand away. "I don't want to have a perverted boss like you!" "I'm not that kind of guy. It's just ...." Frank was silent, looking for the right explanation. However, he couldn't possibly confess about his dream. "Kara, I won't be able to protect you from my grandfather if you're not my secretary anymore." Kara laughed s

"Because of that, I take it very seriously that I decide to quit. I will leave and disappear from this city." Kara nodded firmly. Frank snorted lightly. "Are you really stupid or pretending to be innocent? My grandfather is not an ordinary man. His men are spread all over this country. Moving to other city is not enough to save yourself." Kara took a deep breath. She knew that what Frank said was true. However, only that way, she had a chance to secure the twins. "I've resigned, so my safety is no longer your concern." "Nonsense!" Frank pounded the table. A second later, he tore Kara's letter into shreds. "I am your only option for survival." Kara sighed. With a tired expression, she took another envelope out of her bag and placed it on the table. "My business is done. Excuse me." Kara turned towards the door. However, after a few steps, Frank had turned her body so that they were facing each other. "What demon has gotten into you, hmm? Wake up, Kara! You have no future out th
