102. Frank in Kara’s Room
Kara’s crying suddenly subsided. After drying her face with the blanket, she sat up. “What’s wrong,
Frank?”
The man could see traces of tears on her red cheeks. He also caught the vibration in her voice.
However, as if he didn’t know anything, he stepped in and closed the door.
“Earlier… you asked about the reason I love you,” Frank walked with his head bowed. When he arrived
at the bedside, he looked up and smiled. “Do you know why?”
Kara blinked stiffly. A few seconds ago, she was still thinking about Finnic. Now, her brain was
dominated by the boss. The transition was too fast for her to anticipate. “Why?”
With a minimal curve of his lips, Frank sat on the edge of the bed. “To be honest, I’m confused too. You
remember? The first time you came to Savior, we were like cats and dogs. I always feel annoyed by
you.. You always have a way to offend and raise my blood.”
While reminiscing, Kara smiled too. “I did plan to irritate you, can fire me immediately.”
“I think that’s the reason. You are the first woman who dares to
attack my weakness. You made me curious, and slowly, I rea You’re the mess I’ve been looking for.”
Kara’s eyebrows knitted together. “The mess?”
Frank looked at her gently. “My life is always neat, Kara. I only focu on achievement, evaluation, and
self-development. There’s no time to take care of anything else. But since you came ….”
He took the secretary’s hand. “My life has turned chaotic. It doesn’t

“Are you insulting me?” Kara’s eyes narrowed..
“No,” Frank shook his head, half laughing. “I actually appreciate you. With that chaos and mess, you
made me realize. I’m tired of shaping my destiny as my father’s perfect replacement. You are the
strength for me to change.”

the source of chaos in your life?”
“That’s hard to believe?”
“That’s impossible to believe,” Kara corrected firmly.
Slowly, Frank’s smile faded. A moment later, he looked at her with a resigned look. “But that’s the
reality.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Kara nodded lightly. “I am a speck of blemish on your canvas. I remember.”
“Correction. You are the colors of my canvas. Do you know the function of colors? They give beauty to
the world, just as you give meaning to every breath I take.”
Instead of being touched, Kara snorted. “You said love is not selfish. We’ll put our lover’s happiness
above our own. But you want me to make your life less boring. If that’s the reason you like me, is that

love?”
The man’s lips were pursed. The statement he had previously. composed was now crumpled.
“With you, I don’t need to be selfish. I don’t need to put on a mask or maintain my prestige, because
you already know all my weaknesses. You are the right place for me to rest, Kara, to be myself without
shame. In front of you, I feel like I don’t need to try. I like how your make me accept myself, as the way
I am.”

Pursing her lips, Kara angled her gaze to the top corner. “See? Your love is selfish. You only need me
for your own good.”
Frank was at a loss for words. He didn’t know how to convince Kara
anymore.
“Yes, wanting you is a form of selfishness. But that way, your interests are above my interests, and your
happiness becomes my happiness. Would it be selfish if I thought of you as special?”
Without looking away, Frank patted the hand that was still in his grasp. “When someone makes me
happy, I want to make her happier. Is that wrong?”
Sensing the man’s sincerity, Kara swallowed hard. In silence, she pondered how easily life could turn
things around.
In the past, Finnic loved her very much, while Frank hated her to the bone. But now, their roles had
been swapped?
“I’m not as special as you think, Frank,” Kara admitted
expressionlessly. The corners of her lips looked heavy. “Maybe now, you think my presence makes
your life more exciting. But later, you’ll get bored and in time, you’ll get sick of it.”
“No, Kara,” Frank interrupted with a sweet kiss on the back of her hand. “I know exactly what I like.
Sandwiches, waves, the clouds liked them almost my whole life. When I really like something, not will
ever move it from my heart.”
Kara snorted a little. “Finnic said it too.”
“But he’s not me….” Frank shifted forward, closing the distance between their meeting eyes.
“I’m not asking you to believe it now, but please give me a chance. After I get rid of all my problems,
please… let me love you. After that, you can feel that I am sincere to you.”

For a few seconds, Kara didn’t answer. She was reluctant to admit that her chest was tight with hope.
She knew it was fragile.
“What’s your plan to defeat your grandfather?”
Frank tucked her hair behind her ear. “It’s safer if you don’t know. For now, just focus on the kids and
find your happiness. When you find it, let me know.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll take advantage of you?” Kara joked, trying to distract herself from the pounding of
her heart.
“I don’t mind, but I know, you’re not that kind of girl.”
The curve of Kara’s lips suddenly collapsed. If Finnic had thought like. that, he might not have fallen so
far.

The CEO’s expression immediately changed when he heard that name. However, realizing that Kara’s
inner wounds were peeling again, he immediately suppressed his emotions.
“If I didn’t know you, maybe I would do the same thing as that bastard.
Kara’s eyebrows rose slightly at that kind of answer.
“But, I, who already know you, will continue to hug you until you stop crying. Then, I will listen to your
explanation carefully, and determine what punishment is appropriate for the person who framed you.”
Kara’s breath turned rough. Her eyes were hot, holding back the turmoil in her chest. “Are you sure you
want to hug me?” Her voice started to get hoarse.
Frank nodded slightly. “Yeah, like this.” He pulled Kara into a hug then rubbed her back.

The warmth felt so reassuring. For just a moment, Kara closed her eyes, letting the fatigue evaporate
from her body.
“Feeling better?” Frank whispered as he recovered some distance, cupping Kara’s cheek.
The woman smiled sadly. Her eyes refused to meet. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. I’m happy if I can relieve you. So, that bastard invited you?”
The corner of Kara’s lips twitched. “Yes, but I didn’t open it. I knew it was just meant to insult me.”
“You intend to come?”
Kara froze. Her eyes trembled, waiting for further explanation.
“What if you come to the party? I’m willing to be your man.”
“Are you kidding?” Kara laughed softly.
However, Frank shook his head firmly. “No, I’m serious. Let’s prove that their assumptions are not true.
