Chapter 61
- Isabela’s Anger
Kara was stunned when she saw the shrimp arranged so beautifully in a plain white box. “But it must be very expensive.”
Directing Kara back to the chair, Frank whispered, “No matter how
expensive it is, poison is still poison. Hurry up. She’ll be here in a
moment.”
As Kara was busy considering it, Frank shoved a shrimp into her mouth.
“Sir? What if your future wife gets angry?” Kara asked with round eyes and an unclear voice.
Frank wiped the food stains from the corner of Kara’s lips, smiling crookedly. “Chew it quickly and carefully.”
Kara was forced to comply with furrowed brows. After she
swallowed, Frank shoved the dessert into her mouth.
“Sir!”
“Come on, hurry. Brewing coffee doesn’t take long.”
Kara pushed away the hand that wanted to wipe her lips again. She didn’t want to cause misunderstandings or jealousy. Isabela was no
match for her.
Even though he was rejected, Frank still smiled. His eyes couldn’t
leave Kara’s sweet face.
Just before his secretary swallowed, he opened another stack of lunch boxes. After arranging it in front of Kara, he took a main menu
and sat in his chair.
Seeing the behavior of the man across the table, Kara arched her

of being heard by the others.
“I suddenly want to eat with you.”
Kara’s back suddenly tensed. “Are you looking for trouble? What if your future wife sees? I don’t want any more fuss.”
Before Kara got up from her chair, Frank raised his finger and put on a cold expression. “If you refuse, I will drag the witch before you.”
“Didn’t you just ask me to finish this in secret? Why do you invite me to eat together now?”
Lifting the corners of his lips, Frank leaned his head forward. “I changed my mind. Now, eat at ease. You have nothing to worry about.
“You!” Isabela’s voice suddenly came from the door.
Kara turned around. The model was holding a cup of coffee with twitching on her face.
Previously, Frank did not lower his voice when defending Kara. The guards must have heard. Because of that, Isabela was half-dead fighting embarrassment when she walked past them.
But now, she could no longer hold back her anger. She stepped forward and prepared to splash coffee on Kara’s face.
Unexpectedly, Frank held her hand. The coffee ended spilling on her expensive clothes.
“Hubby?” Isabela’s eyes were burning red.
“Didn’t I remind you not to make any more noise?” Frank said coldly.
“It wasn’t me, but this cheap woman who caused the commotion. Look! She dared to eat my lunch.”
Kara got up from the chair. Her face was withered. She was really tired of being involved in the fight between his boss and the model.” Sorry, Miss Hall.”
was the one who asked Kara to eat with me,” Frank interjected
lightly. “You are unwilling to apologize. That means I have to find another way to teach you manners. Instead, I gave her the opportunity to eat together with me.”
Isabela’s breath roared. “What do you mean? You said you weren’t interested in that menu. Now you want to eat it? With that cheap. woman?”
Frank unexpectedly let out a gasp of laughter. “Yes, I’m interested because she’s accompanying me. Look, I’ve even finished the appetizer and dessert.”
Isabela was at a loss for words. She gaped and exhaled in annoyance.
“I think you’d better change your clothes, Isabel. Don’t let the paparazzi see. You could go viral. Come back later this afternoon, just in time to our schedule.”
“Hubby, you promised to marry me. Why are you still close to this woman? You should have kicked her out of your company.”
Before Isabela’s hand reached Kara’s shoulder, Frank blocked her. promised to marry you, not give you my heart. Never will I ever love you. So, it’s up to you whether you want to continue with a bland marriage or look for another man who sincerely loves you.”
Isabela started laughing. Frank’s words sounded like a joke to her. Sincere? Love? Since when do you believe in that nonsense?”
“Since I met Kara. Because of that, before we got married, I wanted to devote all my attention to her.”
Isabela’s lips curled up again. One hand of her hands was rested on
my, one can c
afford a new phone. Your tastes can’t be that low. Are you under a spell?”
Lifting her chin, Isabela shifted her gaze to Kara. “Which shaman have you met?”
Kara was silent. She didn’t know what to answer. Everything seemed
wrong.
“We’ve discussed this before, Isabel. Don’t make me repeat it. You will increasingly realize that you are nothing compared to Kara.”
“Sir….” Kara stopped Frank from talking. As the man glanced at her, she shook her head, indicating not to continue the conversation.
“Okay,” Isabela cried suddenly. “If you want to have fun now, do it. Besides, you don’t have much time left. But once I become Mrs. Harper, don’t expect you to see each other again.”
Seeing the slight change in Frank’s face, Isabela smiled crookedly. ” Remember, Hubby. Loyalty is an indicator of a good leader. Once your illicit relationship is discovered, your company will be shaken. You could be left in ruins.”
Frank didn’t answer. He let his fiancee step out while covering the
coffee stains with a bag.
In her heart, Isabela muttered, “I have to find a way to take down that cheap secretary.”
As if he could read her mind, Frank snorted sarcastically. “She thinks. it’s that easy to beat me?”
“Sir,” Kara breathed hoarsely, “when will you stop putting me in danger? Do you realize that your actions could increase your grandfather’s hatred for me?”
Frank looked at Kara closely. He didn’t like seeing tears gathering in
cyco.
“My grandfather wouldn’t dare harm you. I would immediately cancel the wedding if he did. That’s a loss he would definitely want to avoid.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“But….”
“Shhh….” Frank rubbed Kara’s arm. “Don’t worry. Everything is under control. Now let’s continue eating. Our work must be finished before
we go.”
Frank directed her back to the chair. Kara surrendered.
Kara thought she was free, but apparently not. Instead, she was sandwiched between a couple who didn’t love each other.
An hour before the work hour was over, Frank approached the secretary at her desk. Kara was still focused on the monitor. When she noticed the CEO looking at her with a smile, she blinked in surprise.
“What’s wrong, Sir?” she asked awkwardly.
“You’re very serious. Do you still have a lot of work to do?”
Kara shook her head. “I just need to collect the materials your requested.”
“Leave it to Jeremy. Now, come with me.”
Kara’s eyebrows twitched. “Didn’t you have an appointment with Miss
Hall?”
“Yes. We will do a wedding dress fitting.”
Kara’s eyes widened. “Wedding dress? Then why do you invite me?” she asked while glancing left and right. As expected, the guards were holding back smiles.
