Chapter 24
- Kara’s Touch
“Of course. Isn’t that our agreement?” Smiling crookedly, Frank returned to his room.
Kara blinked at her stupidity. She thought her position was only secretary because Frank didn’t ask for bed services anymore. But apparently, she still had to provide other services.
“Gosh, I’m the hero. Why does he still have the heart to bully me?” Kara sighed helplessly.
However, after exhaling quickly, she pursed her lips and nodded. ‘But it’s okay. My salary has doubled. The welfare of the twins can be
guaranteed now.’
She clenched her fist and jerked it into the air. “Yeah, I have to work harder.”
When office work hour was over, Kara followed Frank home. She got goosebumps when she saw the CEO’s bed. Secretly, she was grateful that the man didn’t drag her again. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
While Frank was in the shower, Kara finally had the chance to ce twins. Even though they had to whisper, the children were still ha
“So, that evil CEO accepted Mommy to work again?” Louis asked in disbelief.
Kara smiled sadly when she heard her son call his father an evil name. “Yes, Little Bee. Because of that, Mommy can’t come home. early anymore.”
“That’s a shame. Tomorrow is weekend and we actually have a big surprise for Mommy.”
Hearing Emily’s disappointed tone, Kara’s lips curved downwards.”

salary has now doubled. You can choose any school you like.”
Kara thought that the twins would be enthusiastic. However, she was instead greeted by a moment of silence.
“Aren’t you happy?” Kara asked quietly.
“We’re happy.”
“Yes, we’re happy. Mommy, we want to help Grandma prepare dinner.
We’ll talk again after Mommy comes home.”
Kara knew her children well. They must have just discussed
something and kept it a secret.
“Sorry that Mommy can’t make time for you. Mommy will try to
negotiate with the CEO. Hopefully he will be willing to give Mommy a day off. Maybe, we can have a picnic.”
“It’s okay, Mommy. We can understand,” Louis consoled
enthusiastically.
“Yes, Mommy works hard for us and we will repay you by being good children,” Emily continued in her sweet voice.
Kara got teary eyes. “Thank you, Honey. I love you from a to z.”
“Love you from a million to infinity,” Louis and Emily replied in unison.
“Who’s that?”
Frank’s voice jolted every cell in Kara’s body. In a split second, she got up from the sofa. Apparently, Frank walked towards Kara with an unhappy expression. He only wore a bathrobe. Water droplets still stuck to his hair although he was holding a half-dry towel..
“Why are you silent? Who’s that?”
Once again, Kara gasped. “That….”
“Is that your boyfriend?”
Kara froze. She thought that Frank had heard her conversation earlier, but she was wrong?
“Do you care if I have a boyfriend?”
“Of course. It’s still work hours. Remember point number three. Maintain professionalism.”
Kara almost burst out laughing. However, in order to maintain her charade, she lowered her head, put the phone in her bag, and then stood in front of her master. “What is my task now?”
“Dry my hair.”
Kara was stunned. It was an easy job. Why did Frank ask her to? However, she carried it out without protest.
“Now what?”
Suddenly, Frank sat on the edge of the bed and untied his robe. Before he took off the soft furry clothes, Kara raised both hands in
front of her face.
“Wait a minute, Sir! You agreed not to ask anything strange. Do you
remember?”
One of Frank’s eyebrows furrowed deeper. “Where’s my ointment? I have to treat my body again. I don’t want any marks become
permanent.”
Kara blinked stiffly. With awkward movements, she reached into her bag. At that moment, Frank disrobed. Apparently, he was already wearing pants.
“Here, Sir,” Kara said, bowing her head. Her cheeks must be red.
“Apply it for me.”
Kara was stunned again. Little by little, she looked up. When she found Frank’s body covered in red spots, she gasped.
“Gosh, your allergies are this bad? You’re lucky your face isn’t red and swollen.”
“Stop talking. Just do your job,” Frank said irritably.
Kara sat next to Frank. Her awkwardness had been replaced by
concern.
As the man closed his eyes, Kara treated every red mark carefully. She didn’t have time to notice how perfect the muscles she touched
were. Her heart was only filled with pity.
“So, what does your boyfriend do for a living?”
Kara was silent for a moment. Was that the reason Frank stayed
quiet most of the time? Guess what kind of person she liked?
“Don’t you hate gossiping?” Kara muttered.
Frank secretly clenched his fists. “I’m just curious. What kind of guy’ would fall in love with a stupid and careless girl like you?”
Kara snorted, but didn’t give an answer. Frank was forced to bury his curiosity and fan himself. His body felt like burning. Was it because. of the fact he just found out or because of Kara’s touch? He wasn’t
sure.
“Are you okay, Sir? It doesn’t say the side effects of overheating here.”
“Each body is different. Their responses are also different. When you’re done with my shoulders, move on to my back,” he said curtly.
“Wait a minute. I’m not even done with the left chest.” Kara reached out to grab a further point. She didn’t realize that her face was now right in front of the CEO.
Seeing Kara’s lips that close, Frank subconsciously swallowed hard. His heart pumped faster, and his breath hitched. His dream this afternoon came back clearly.
‘What’s wrong with this girl? Why does she keep attracting my attention? Is it because she looks like that girl?”
“Kara.”
Kara blinked and stopped moving. Did she hear it right? Frank called. her first name?
Meanwhile, Frank also blinked. He just realized that his lips were letting out his thoughts.
“What’s wrong, Sir?”
Frank quickly took a breath and cleared his throat. “I have to visit a remote place tomorrow. Prepare a lunch for me.”
“Is that another trial?” Kara asked without looking back. She blinked as she returned to her task.
Frank’s heart was getting more and more out of control because of
Kara’s action. “Don’t ask too much.”
Kara’s lips pursed. “I want to prepare mentally if it is a trial,” she grumbled.
Seeing those soft-looking red petals from a very close distance,
Frank’s blood started to boil again. He was forced to close his eyes to maintain his sanity.
How could his heart choose a poor, innocent girl like Kara over a famous model from a rich family?
The world must have turned upside down or he was out of his mind.

The next morning, they arrived at a green field filled with many boxes. Employees wore protective clothing with head covering. Small insects roamed around them.
“This is bee yard?” Kara stammered.
Not only the woman, but the guards were also anxious. How did they protect the CEO from millions of those little insects?
