Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

4. You Can’t Just Walk Away

Frank involuntarily raised an eyebrow and held his breath. He only. insulted a little, but the new secretary already dared to bark?

“If I had known the CEO of Savior Group was this rude and arrogant, I wouldn’t have signed the contract!” Kara snapped without the slightest hesitation.

Frank checked the expressions of the bodyguards and Vivian. They all got tensed. No one dared to move. Indeed, it was only the girl in front of him who dared to seek death.

Frank looked at Kara closely. The corners of his lips twitched slightly. “So, you think I’m rude and arrogant?”

Before the girl could answer, he snorted and brushed the tip of his nose with his long forefinger.

“Who are you? How dare you judge me? You have no sense of shame and manners, huh?!”

“Sorry, Mr. Harper.” Vivian pulled Kara back. “Miss Martin has just. signed the contract and this is her first day visiting the company. She hasn’t had any training or read any manuals.”

“That’s not a reason for her to be rude to me,” Frank argued in a cold voice. A second later, his feet stepped forward. Shoving his hands in his pockets, Frank bent down until he was eye level with Kara. He was ready to snap. However, as soon as his nose caught the familiar citrus scent, he froze.

*This scent? Is she that girl? That’s why she dares to confront with me? She does look a bit similar. But, her eye color is different. Is it possible that she deliberately cover it up so as not to be discovered?’

Frank’s gaze narrowed. The more focused he looked at Kara’s eyes, the closer they were. He could even hear the girl’s gasps-small and ear-tickling-just like that night.

Realizing the CEO’s intentions, Kara blinked. Before her contact lens could be seen, she pushed Frank’s shoulder with all her strength.

“You accused me of being impolite and immoral, but look! You were the first one to cross the line. Mrs. Bell, I apologize. I want to cancel the contract. I don’t want to work with an arbitrary person who can’t respect others.”

Vivian sighed in despair. Kara and Frank had only met for a few minutes, but why had they been like cat and dog?

Meanwhile, Frank shook his head faintly. His eyes narrowed at Kara.

Have we met before?”

Kara flinched. She didn’t expect that the Pervert Demon’s suspicions could be aroused so quickly.

“No,” she answered as firmly as possible. However, Frank’s eyes became even sharper.

“Then why do you seem to have a grudge against me for decades? Did I ever run over your feet with my supercar? Or did another secretary deliberately send you to provoke my emotions?”

Kara’s hands clenched tighter. She realized that she had been reckless. She must be more careful if she wanted to escape safely.

“No. I’m just disappointed because the CEO of Savior Group turns out to have a personality like you. We won’t be able to get along, let alone. work together. Because of that, I resign.”

“You think there’s something wrong with my personality?”

The corners of Frank’s lips twitched again. With an exasperated sigh,

“Just so you know, with my personality, the Savior Group succeeded. in developing into eight business fields, winning various prestigious awards, and becoming the most influential company in the world. Almost all the best CEO awards went to me. Do you think I can achieve all that with a personality as weak as yours?”

Kara held her breath. Her eyes beamed with disgust and annoyance.

Frank Harper might be great in the business, but in moral matters… a big zero! He had abandoned two children and a woman.

“If you think you’re perfect, that’s your right. But no one can control my opinion. And I apologize if I signed the contract too quickly. Next time, I’ll make sure not to show my face in front of you anymore.”

Still with glassy eyes, Kara turned to Vivian. “Mrs. Bell, sorry to disappoint you, but I am resigning for the good of the company. Excuse me.”

Just as Kara was about to take a step, Frank blocked her path. The man’s expression was now difficult to decipher. He grimaced, but a sinister laugh escaped his lips.

“You think you can just leave like that?”

A second later, Frank spoke to the man standing two steps behind. him. “Jeremy, has the new regulation been passed?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Vivian’s eyes suddenly widened. “What regulation?”

“You’re not the only one who’s tired of memorizing the names of new secretaries every month, Mrs. Bell, but I am too. Therefore, I set a new

rule.”

Shoving his hands in his pockets, Frank started walking around Kara.

“First, no employee may resign before serving for three months at this.

company.”

Kara’s eyebrows arched high. However, as much as possible, she controlled her expressions. She must not look shaky.

“Secondly, if the employee really wants to leave, he or she can. the concerned person has to pay a fine.”

but

“How much is the fine?” Kara asked loudly. She now turned to the side because Frank stopped right to her left.

Frank put on a charming crooked smile. After a slow blink, he leaned forward, bringing his lips closer to Kara’s ear.

“Amounting to three times of the annual compensation offered.”

Kara gasped. Even though she had tried to control her shock, the number was too big. Where could she get that much money?

“Frank Harper!” Vivian shouted unexpectedly. “Stop giving your secretary a hard time!”

“She’s not my secretary anymore, Auntie. She just resigned. Now, she has to pay 720.000 dollars to the Savior Group. Isn’t that profitable?”

Seeing Kara’s face turn pale, Frank smiled with satisfaction. “So, when are you going to transfer it?”

“If you don’t get along with Miss Martin, just let her go. Why clutch her like this? We can find another secretary.”

With his eyes closed, Frank raised one hand in the air. As soon as Vivian was silent, he folded her fingers until only the forefinger remained.

“We have to discuss this too, Auntie. I’m tired of giving opportunities to the people you recruited. They’re incompetent.”

“Jeremy is competent,” Vivian implied swiftly. Her elegance faded a

bit.

“Almost competent. There is still one task that he hasn’t completed yet. Even though I’ve given him more than four years. Luckily, he’s still the best person I know. So, I still keep him.”

As Jeremy sighed in resignation, Kara looked down in confusion.

“You clearly understand that I won’t be able to pay the fine. Doesn’t it mean you forbid me from resigning?” she muttered.

“Yes, indeed. Small people like you can’t possibly have that much money.”

Still with furrowed brows, Kara whispered, “You don’t like me. Why are you holding me back?”

Frank snorted sarcastically. His eyes refused to move from Kara. He was still curious about the real color of the girl’s eyes.

“Don’t get me wrong! I just want to teach you a lesson that… making decisions shouldn’t be rash.”

Kara wanted to argue, but couldn’t. She was indeed guilty. She he signed the contract without confirming who the CEO was. Wh she suppose to do now?
