Chapter 58
- A Brazen Girl
“That geeky secretary is a cheap girl. Look,” Isabela pointed at Kara’s desk in a sassy manner, “doesn’t your office look fresher without her around? The atmosphere also feels calmer and more peaceful.”
Frank snorted lightly. Shaking his head in disgust, he muttered, “What a brazen girl you are.”
Isabela’s expression suddenly changed. There was no more joy on her face. “What did you say?”
“No. I’m just commenting on this document. One of the investor plans to invest a small amount of capital but demands for high
benefit. Isn’t he brazen?”
Isabela’s brows were still furrowed. Putting her hands on her hips, she narrowed her gaze. “Don’t forget, Hubby. I am your fiancée, your soon-to-be wife. Insulting me is the same as insulting your family, your own dignity.”
Frank shrugged briefly. “Yes, I understand.”
“Hubby! I’m talking to you. Look me in the eye!”
Frank put down his pen then raised his head. After only a few seconds of looking at the face full of make-up, he sighed in
resignation.
“I don’t know how I can survive our future marriage. Can’t you change your appearance?”
Isabela gasped. Blinking, she checked her three-colored clothes.” What do I need to change? Is this blazer too flashy for you? My fashion today is-”
“Can’t you just dress plain like Kara? That looks more pleasing to my

Frank nodded slightly before he returned to touching the document.”
Then go. I need to concentrate so that my work doesn’t pile up
tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Isabela twisted her body like a model walking on a fashion
runway.
“See you tomorrow, Hubby. I hope you can act nicer during fittings because it will affect your reputation and the company.”
Frank blinked as if he didn’t care. He didn’t even look up when his fiancee walked out the door and waved through the one-way glass. Instead, his hand reached for the phone and made a call.
“Jeremy, I want Kara to come to the office tomorrow. It’s up to you
whether you drag her or not, she has to go to work as usual.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Right after Frank hung up, Jeremy stopped his car. Louis and Emily cheered happily from the back seat.
“Woohoo! We’ve arrived! Thank you, Mr. Driver.”
“Yes, thank you, Mr. Driver!”
Jeremy nodded without showing his face. Then, while laughing, Louis and Emily competed to touch the apartment door first. Seeing their cheerfulness, Jeremy smiled slightly.
“Your children will definitely get suspicious if they see this car again. I have to change the car immediately.”
Kara nodded stiffly. Her mind wasn’t focused on that. “Was it Frank?”
The curve of Jeremy’s lips shrunk. “He asked you to work tomorrow.”

considered whether she was ready to meet the man she had spent a hot night with or not.
“Okay. Thank you, Jeremy. Please keep my meeting with Rowan a
secret.”
Before Jeremy could reply, Kara got out of the car. She could not wait to make a prefect strategy. She had to act natural in front of Frank
tomorrow.

As soon as he saw Kara from the window, Frank’s face brightened. However, realizing the presence of his temporary assistant, he flattened his expression again.
“Philip, please call Miss Martin here, then stand guard outside. I want privacy.”
The young man smiled. While imagining what would happen next, he carried out the order.
“Miss Martin, Young Master wants to see you.”
Kara immediately turned tense. She was actually determined to act as if nothing had happened. However, shame just welled up in her
chest.
‘Why am I feeling so awkward? Remember, Kara. That man is getting married soon and you promised to stay away from him. Your relationship is just boss and secretary. There’s nothing to worry about. The incident that night won’t go anywhere.”
However, as her feet entered the room, Kara was unable to straighten
her head. When she arrived in front of Frank who was standing at the
side of the table, she only dared to look at the shiny tips of his shoes.
“Good morning, Sir. Is there anything I can help?”
“May I hug you?”
Kara gasped. Her eyes widened and her gaze lifted. Frank Harper was looking at her with warm eyes.
“I’m your secretary, Sir. It’s not right for you to do that to me.”
Frank had tightness in his chest. His hands were clenched tighter so as not to grab Kara.
“Where were you yesterday? Why didn’t you come here? Do you know how much I missed you?”
Kara was flabbergasted. What kind of tricks was Frank playing? Did he deliberately make her uncomfortable?
While Kara was frozen, Frank grabbed something from the desk
drawer. “You don’t need to worry, Kara. I am fully aware that right
ware m
now, secretary. I will not act out of the line. You also don’t need to be afraid of my feelings.”
A second later, Frank showed her a new tablet. “Because you are officially my secretary, your access will no longer be limited. You can see emails and data directly, including schedules and a list of projects that I have to handle.”
Kara was stunned. Frank’s actions were completely unexpected. “I’m not a fake secretary anymore?”
“Yes.” Frank handed the tablet to Kara, and then placed a watch on it. And this is a limited edition smart watch. It’s already connected to your tablet. Wear it to make your work easier.”
Kara’s eyebrows furrowed. Her gaze was fixed on the CEO’s wrist. Frank wore a black smart watch, exactly the same as soon-to-be hers.
