Chapter 6 Take It Off Or I Will

• Shaking his head in disgust, Frank pointed at the secretary's black shoes. “You're not an intern, so get rid of those old fashioned shoes. And those pants ... swap them for a skirt. That way, you might look a little more attractive. Then, that boring blouse ... find something more fashionable. Lastly, your head.”
• "What's wrong with my head?" Kara asked in a horrified tone. She could still accept if the CEO protested her outfit, but her head? Did that Perverted Demon also want to replace it?
• “You are unsightly. Take off your hair tie!"
• Kara flinched. She was in danger. If her hair was down, wouldn't Frank Harper recognize her more easily?
• “I'm more comfortable like this, Sir. If my hair was let loose, it would be more troublesome.”
• “It's you who will be troubled, not me. Take it off or I'll do it!"
• Kara swallowed hard. She wanted to find an excuse, but there was none. While lowering her head, she was forced to let her hair loose.
• “Put away your glasses too!”
• “G-glasses? How can I see?” Kara stammered. She just realized that Frank Harper had suspected her.
• “You still have eyes. So take them off!”
• Frank suddenly grabbed Kara's glasses. Feeling like her mask was taken off, Kara instinctively covered her eyes with one hand.
• “Please give them back, Sir! I'll get dizzy without glasses!" Her other hand flailed aimlessly.
• “These aren’t prescription glasses. What are you bothering about?”
• Kara peeked through the gaps between her fingers. Frank was wearing the glasses! Panicking, she tried to snatch them back. However, the CEO swiftly caught both of her hands.
• From such a close distance, it was impossible for Frank Harper not to remember. However, Kara had been locked in his hands. She couldn't run away. The only thing she could do was to close her eyes and scrunch up her face.
• Kara didn't know that her tactic actually refreshed Frank's memory. On their burning night, she unconsciously made that expression every time the Perverted Demon pushed too deep.
• “Kara Martin, are you sure we've never met before?”
• Kara felt her heart exploded. Her chest was so tight. She could no longer breathe. With wide eyes, she just stared at the gray beads in front of her. Her pale face was reflected there.
• If she didn't act immediately, she was sure her lungs would stop forever. She wasn't ready to leave the twins with threats from their heartless biological father.
• "Sir!" Kara exclaimed unexpectedly. She herself was surprised by her own voice. "Isn't your behavior outrageous? You asked me to keep my distance, but you're the one violating it."
• Frank was taken aback by the protest. With furrowed brows, he glanced at his grasp. Kara's hand was wriggling there. "You were about to attack me. Isn't it natural for me to defend myself?"
• "You started it. If you didn't take my glasses, how could I attack? Are you secretly interested in me?"
• Frank's eyes almost popped out. In his whole life, that was the first time a woman had accused him of having feelings for her.
• "Are you crazy? Your dreams are too high." Frank let go of Kara then cleaned his fingers with a handkerchief.
• "Then why don't you let me resign? You also act like a child asking for attention. Is your perfect fiancee boring? That’s why you're looking for something different? An ugly, stiff girl like me, for example?"
• Frank sighed in disbelief. Kara Martin was different from other women. She was so annoying!
• "How could you be so ungrateful? I gave you a chance to improve yourself, but you just became worse. Never mind! Now make me some coffee!"
• Getting the opportunity she had been waiting for, Kara ran out of the room. She had forgotten her glasses. She didn't even notice that the man who opened the door for her was holding back laughter. She just wanted to escape from Frank Harper.
• "Why are you laughing?" the CEO snapped as Jeremy turned to face him.
• "Please don't be too harsh on her, Sir. Her assumption is not wrong. You do seem to like her."
• "Jeremy!"
• The assistant raised both hands. He dared not speak anymore. After a nod, he left the room. Frank always needed time to calm his emotions.
• Meanwhile, in the pantry, Kara had just walked in, panting. Occasionally, she patted her cheek. She still couldn't believe that she had managed to escape the suspicion of the Perverted Demon.
• ‘This is like a suicide mission. I have to leave this company as soon as possible.’
• While thinking hard, Kara prepared hot water and a cup. However, as soon as she opened the cupboard, her focus was diverted.
• A row of jars in front of her had been labeled with the names of the days. Black Ivory coffee for Monday, Finca El Injerto for Tuesday, Saint Helena for Wednesday, Hacienda La Esmeralda for Thursday, and Luwak coffee for Friday. The contents of that cupboard cost more than her monthly salary!
• "Does it require a special technique to brew it?" Kara sighed worriedly. She could imagine Frank's anger if she wasted the coffee grounds.
• ‘But, isn't that good? If that Perverted Demon gets angry, he'll definitely fire me.’
• Kara's smile widened. After nodding firmly, she turned off the kettle. Without hesitation, she put the coffee into a cup, and then poured it with water that had not boiled yet. She even added salt and pepper to it. Once the coffee was ready to be served, she struggled to hold back her laughter.
• "Is that his order?" Jeremy asked when she arrived at the door.
• "Yes." Kara quickly pursed her lips so as not to leak her amusement. She was ready to accept the anger of the Perverted Demon.
• "You brewed it according to the instructions on the back of the jar, right?"
• Hearing that serious tone, Kara's smile suddenly froze. After blinking, she nodded stiffly. "Yes."
• "That's good. Mister Harper's mood is not good and you've already caused trouble twice. I hope you won't make any more mistakes."
• Receiving such a serious warning, Kara's guts shrank a bit. "What will happen if I make the third mistake? Will I be fired immediately?"
• Jeremy grimaced. "The punishment from him is not just dismissal. I hope you never find out. Now, hurry up! Don't keep him waiting!"
• Kara's heart skipped a beat when Jeremy pushed her back through the door. She wanted to step back, but those terrible gray eyes were already staring at her.
• ‘What happens if that Perverted Demon drinks this? Is this really a suicide mission?’
• Kara's face turned pale. Her hands were shaking. However, the man who was on the phone called her using his index finger. Like it or not, Kara had to approach.
• "So, the CB-23 prototype failed?"
• Frank's voice sent shivers down Kara's spine. She could control her nervousness at first. Unfortunately, when she was about to put down the cup, Frank suddenly hit the table. The coffee in Kara's hand almost spilled.
• "Do you forget? Everything that threatens our reputation must be eliminated. I don't care how many millions you spent on that prototype. Those damaged and useless items must still be destroyed."
• Kara widened her eyes and dared not move. Louis and Emily's faces now flashed in her mind. The twins also threatened the company's reputation. If Frank Harper didn't hesitate to destroy prototypes worth millions dollars, what about unwanted children?
