Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

37. I Touched Her!

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 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 sarcastically. “I don’t need protection from you. If I stay with you, my dignity and safety will be threatened.”

Seeing Kara kept walking towards the door, Frank panicked even

more. He was worried that Kara would really disappear from his side,

“What about the fine you have to pay? Do you have that much money?

Kara’s steps suddenly stopped. Turning her head over her shoulder, she said, “There’s no time limit for paying it off, right? I’ll pay it on layaway.”

A second later, Kara got out of the door. Frank couldn’t possibly catch up. The servants would scream hysterically if they saw his pants. In silence, he could only reflect and regret.

After going down the stairs, Kara looked back. Her hands were no longer tightly clenched. Her gaze was so gloomy, floating in the air.

“Sorry, Sir. I was forced to slander you. Only in this way will I have a reason to stay away.”

After tidying up the blouse that she had messed up herself, Kara walked away.

Soon, lunch time arrived, but Kara was still nowhere to be seen.

Frank was getting irritated. Sometimes he looked out at the secretary desk. Sometimes he stared at his fingers which he thought had acted

out of control.

“My dreams are always bad and strange, but why did I have a dream like that this morning?” he regretted before clenching his fingers.

“If I didn’t touch her carelessly, she wouldn’t have left.”

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Hearing the sound, Frank spontaneously got up from his chair. His eyes sparkled. He thought Kara had passed through the window while he was daydreaming.

However, as soon as the door opened, his face turned sour. “Jeremy?”

Hearing his master’s disappointment, the man carrying the paper bag raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong, Sir? Didn’t you expect me to

come back?”

Taking a deep breath, Frank sank into the chair. His energy seemed to disappear along with hope.

“Why did you come back? Didn’t I give you a chance to take some time off?” he inquired, sounded like a grumble.

“I’ve visited the orphanage. This is a souvenir from them.” Jeremy put the paper bag on the table. Frank looked at him dispassionately.

“So, what happened? I heard that your grandfather searched your house last night. They found traces of Kara there.”

Frank felt bitterer. In the secret chamber, they were very close

together. But now, Kara had disappeared from his radar. He hadn’t even had time to hand over the chocolate which he had to store in the pantry refrigerator.

“Kara is afraid to face Grandpa. She insists she wants to resign.”

Jeremy was silent for a moment. He seemed to be considering something. “Do you agree?”

Frank’s brow furrow deepened. “Of course I don’t. I was determi

She can’t get away from me yet.”

Jeremy also raised his eyebrows. Seeing his personal assistant’s ra expression, Frank’s head turned tilted. “What is it?”

Suddenly, Jeremy’s gaze dimmed. It made the CEO question even more. “Are you keeping something?”

Jeremy shook his head faintly. “No, Sir. I just feel sorry for her.

Previously, she was having a hard time because of you. Now, she is

Frank’s lips pursed. His head shook stiffly. “I never made her life difficult. She was just too stupid and careless. I only gave her the appropriate punishment,” Frank denied firmly. Even though in his heart, he regretted it half to death.

“So where is she, Sir? Why isn’t her computer turning on?”

Frank shrugged. “Maybe she’s locked herself in her room. She just got slapped by Sean. A weak girl like her will definitely need a long time to recover mentally.”

Jeremy’s face turned darker. It was clear that something was weighing on his mind.

“Why do you keep asking Kara? You’re worried she’ll keep getting into trouble, huh? You don’t secretly like her, do you?”

Frank tried hard to sound unconcerned. However, as soon as Jeremy nodded his head, his falsehood was peeled away.

“Yes, I’m worried and sorry for her.”

Frank’s breath hitched. “You like her?” he asked in an unhappy tone.

One of Jeremy’s eyebrows rose. After a moment of silence,

repeated his head movements.

“Yeah, she’s a good girl. I think everyone should like Kara.”

Frank snorted in annoyance. However, before his jealousy co detected, he covered it up with a lighthearted laugh.

“It turns out you are the same as Ben. Why are you so easy to be attracted to a woman like her? Is it because she’s stupid that you think you can trick her?”

“Sir, I’m not the type of man who likes playing with women. I couldn’t possibly play on Kara, let alone take advantage of her.”

Frank had tightness in his chest. Jeremy’s words were like arrows that shot straight into his heart.

“Besides, our relationship is limited to colleagues. My concern for her is limited to pity. I think the guards also share my thoughts. Kara is a typical innocent girl who deserves to be protected.”

The corners of Frank’s lips twitched. He didn’t know that his assistant’s tongue could be that sadistic.

“Innocent? You should see how she smiled in front of Ben. I

shuddered in horror. She’s not a good girl who deserves to be

protected. You can’t be fooled.”

Seeing the tension on the CEO’s face, Jeremy lowered his voice. “It bothered you to see Kara smile at Ben?”

“Of course.”

Frank widened his eyes at that spontaneous answer. His lips. apparently weren’t working well. He had to immediately twist the truth.

“You understand that I don’t like dealing with flirtatious women, right?”

“Well, that’s actually good,” Jeremy nodded unexpectedly.

Frank’s tension began to mix with astonishment. “What’s good?”

Jeremy put on a thin smile. He didn’t bother to explain since he was sure that Frank had understood what he meant. “Now that I’m back, what task do I have to carry out, Sir? Should I persuade Kara Martin to come back here? You must be tormented not to see her for a minute.”

Frank’s eyebrows spontaneously pushed his forehead up. He knew. that Jeremy knew him very well. However, he did not expect that his assistant could guess the deepest part of his heart so quickly and easily.
