Chapter 18
18. Full of Kara
“The bartender was assigned to put drugs into two glasses of drink. One is a sleeping drug, while the
other is a stimulant.”
Frank’s heart suddenly raced. He remembered that the girl he had
slept with was lying in submission, just like someone who had been given sleeping pills, while he had
turned into a vicious monster who had forgotten everything. He only cared about his libido which went
crazy that night.
‘If the girl took sleeping pills, is she also a victim? That girl who, resembles Kara or maybe… Kara
Martin herself?’
“Who paid him to frame me?” Frank asked with wide eyes. He subconsciously held his breath as he
waited for an answer.
“Your guess is wrong, Sir. Nobody meant to frame you. Both drugs. are intended for other people.”
Frank flinched. His mouth was wide open, but no sound came out. Confusion clogged his brain and
throat.
“The sleeping drug was given to a girl, while the stimulant was for her co-worker. However, the plan did
not go smoothly. Her co-worker didn’t even touch his drink.”
“I drank it?” Frank sighed in disbelief.
Jeremy swallowed hard. “That’s right, Sir. When you come, you ask for instant serving. So, another
bartender who just started to work. there carelessly gave you the drink.”
“He gave me another person’s drink?” Frank asked in a booming voice. Anger had boiled his blood. His
hands were clenched tightly against the heat. “Where is that brat now? Teach him a lesson! He
LI
“Actually, the two bartenders wanted to tell you. But, because they heard that you intended to celebrate
your anniversary with your fiancee, they canceled it. They apologize for the unexpected coincidence,
Sir.”
“Nonsense! Even though I’m celebrating my anniversary with Isabela, I have no intention of sleeping
with anyone! Give them a lesson!”
Jeremy sighed. He was very familiar with his master’s behavior when
he was angry.
“Okay, Sir. I will take care of them. Then, do you want to know the identity of the girl, Sir?”
Frank’s rumbling breath suddenly hitched. Kara’s image again
hijacked his mind. Even though he wasn’t sure, he kept thinking the girl was Kara.
Now, because he had determined to forget Kara, he also had to erase the memories of the girl,
including the citrus scent and the sighs that sometimes rang in his ears.
“No. From this moment on, don’t ever mention that girl again. I’ve left. her in the past. Now, just deal
with that stupid bartender, then
consider this problem solved.” 1
“You sure, Sir?”
Jeremy hung in silence for a moment.
“Four years ago, you also said so, Sir. That girl won’t dare appear again and we don’t need to waste
time taking care of her. But apparently, you sent me to solve it now. You don’t even dare to hire a
detective for fear of your secret being discovered.”
Frank snorted. “I opened this case because Ben came back. But now, isn’t it clear that he is innocent?
There is nothing more to be afraid of.”
“Including that girl?”
Frank chuckled in annoyance. He needed to calm down, but Jeremy kept bothering him.
“I told you, don’t mention her again. Let’s just say she has
disappeared from the earth. After taking care of the two bartenders, take a few days off to visit your
family.”
“You send me away?”
“No. That’s my appreciation because you have successfully
completed the task and proven that you are my only capable employee.”
Jeremy could imagine how Frank scrunched up one side of his face when he said that lie. But still, he
smiled wryly and nodded.
“Okay. But, may I ask one thing, Sir?”
“What?”
“How is Kara Martin? I heard you were giving her a hard time.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Frank’s eyes closed in resignation. His head was throbbing. Why did the world keep reminding him of
Kara?
“You’re on an important mission, but you still have time to gossip? That’s enough! Another agenda
awaits me.”
Before Jeremy could answer, Frank turned off the phone. He couldn’t possibly admit to having fired
Kara. His personal assistant would definitely interrogate and give him a long lecture. What he did to
Kara could be revealed, including dragging her into the his room and pressing her on the bed.
Frank jerked his head up and blinked. Her face must not be painted in his mind. Her name can’t be said
by the voice of his heart. And that citrus scent….
“Jeez, what do I have to do to get rid of it?”
While Frank was clutching his head that was full of Kara, the servant from earlier came back. This time,
her steps were hasty. Her
eyebrows were arched high and her eyes were opened wider.
“Young Master, your grandfather has just arrived at his villa. He asks you to come there now.”
A sigh escaped Frank’s mouth. He was really tired. He hadn’t finished calming his heart which was in
turmoil due to Kara’s behavior. Now, a bigger problem came?
“I didn’t know Grandpa was planning to come home.”
“How is the company?”
The servants flinched at the straightforward question. However, Frank blinked casually. He was used to
being serious whenever he faced Rowan Harper.
“The company’s assets grew 12% per quarter, and net income
continues to grow. Several projects show rapid development. I plan to invite investors to watch the final
trial in the next few weeks.”
Rowan Harper nodded, but didn’t look quite satisfied.
“How is your relationship with Isabela? I hope you don’t postpone your wedding any longer. I can’t wait
to see the union of the most respected families in this country.”
Frank raised the corners of his lips slightly. There was no answer other than that. His expression was
flat, hiding anger and confusion. Why did Kara’s sad face flash through his mind again?
Kara looked down at the compress on her ankle. She looked focused with furrowed eyebrows. In fact,
she was busy thinking about
tomorrow.
She had not been working at Savior Group for a week, but she had already been fired. She couldn’t
possibly get a penny from that
company.
“Aren’t there any miracles for children as good as they are?” Kara sighed with teary eyes. She had
forgotten to move the compress.
“Louis and Emily always encourage me. They never stop lighting up my world. Is this my reward for
them as a mother?”
