3. Gray Eyed Devil
Suddenly, Vivian put down another paper. “This is the compensation if you can survive more than a
month.”
Kara’s eyes grew wider. That’s enough for the twins’ school fees!’
“And if you can survive for three months, this will compensate for the months to come.”
As soon as the last paper was put down, Kara’s mouth fell open. She seemed to see a very bright way
out.
‘I don’t have to worry if that amount goes into my account every month. Not only will the twins be
prosperous, Mom can also retire from the library!’
“Hey, Emily. How much is that? You’re better at math,” Louis whispered as he nudged his younger
sister’s arm.
“I don’t know, Louis. I only know that if there are three zeros, that’s two thousand. That’s four zeros. Is it
twenty thousand dollars?”
“Mommy, accept it. There are a lot of zeros,” Louis whispered, covering his mouth with one hand. He
didn’t care if Vivian held her laugh, while his grandmother narrowed her eyes at him..
“If Mommy accepts this job, that means we have to move to another city. Do you guys mind?” Kara
asked in a wise tone. She didn’t have much time to deliberate in the other room.
Receiving such a serious question, Emily blinked, while Louis looked at Vivian with a curious
expression. “How is your city, Madam? Is it safe and fun?”
Vivian spontaneously raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect to get such a question from a very young
boy.
“The crime rate tends to be low and it’s a cool city. There are more playgrounds and shopping centers
there. You can have fun with your mom on the weekends.”

“What about the library? Our grandmother is a librarian. We like to help Grandma whenever she
works,” Emily asked in her charming little voice. It was as sweet as cotton candy. Vivian finally let out a
laugh.
at that.
“What a coincidence, we just built a library. It’s a charity project. If your grandmother is willing to work
there, we will be happy to
welcome her.”
While Susan thanked her, the twins folded their arms and looked at
each other. They were exactly like Kara who was thinking. After
squinting and fiddling with their eyebrows, they nodded together.
“Okay, Mommy. We don’t mind.”
”
Seeing the hope radiating from the twins’ eyes, the corners of Kara’s lips rose by themselves. She no
longer needed to ask. Who the CEO, was and how annoying he was didn’t matter at all. In order to
support her two little angels, she was ready to face the perfectionist big boss.
‘This golden opportunity cannot be missed.”

“Welcome to the Savior Group, Miss Martin. It’s a pleasure to see you.
here.”
Kara smiled at Vivian’s greeting. She was amazed by her kindness. As far as she knew, there had
never been a commissioner who was
willing to welcome employees, apart from Vivian.
Not only that, Vivian also invited Kara to visit every floor. From the lowest level to the highest level, her
spirit never went out.
In just a short time, Kara already felt familiar with the Savior Group. She felt proud to be able to work
there. Her new company was much larger than Miller’s.
“And this is your desk. Be careful with that glass because Mr. CEO can see you from his chair.” Vivian
pointed to the mirror partition that separated the secretary’s room from the boss’.
“That’s one-way glass?” Kara whispered as if she was afraid her boss would hear her.
“That’s right. That glass has triggered many dismissals. Your
predecessors were careless enough that their mistakes were noticed by Mr. CEO.”
Kara swallowed hard. Without realizing it, she pulled her shoulders to stand straighter. Isn’t her new
boss a perfectionist? The man must demand employees to stand in a perfect manner and give their
best look.
Because of that, Kara wore her best blouse and tied her hair in a
ponytail. She even wore glasses to add a professional impression, and also… brown contact lenses to
cover up her too attractive eye
color.
Kara Martin was ready to conquer the boss and gain praise from him.
“So, what can I do and what can’t I do, Ma’am?”
Vivian smiled faintly. After a gentle blink, her gaze fell on the pile of folders near the computer.
“I hope you are a good memorizer, Miss Martin. You have one day to remember all the information.”
Kara’s face turned frozen. With stiff movements, she pointed her index finger at the folders. “That’s all
the guidance on being a secretary here?”
“A guide to survive, to be precise.”
Before negative thoughts took over her brain, Kara took a deep breath. and then exhaled faintly. With
steady steps, she picked up the top
document.
“Frank Harper?” She read the biodata listed there.
“Yes, that’s the CEO of Savior Group. He’s still young, but his abilities. can’t be doubted. This is his
sixth year leading the company.”
Kara was silent. It wasn’t the CEO’s age that surprised her, but his last
name.
‘Harper? Why does it feel familiar? Has Finnic ever worked with them
efore?”
Suddenly, the elevator doors opened. Nine men in black suits
immediately came out and took positions. The east, west, and north, corridors were each guarded by
two people. The other two were on standby next to the CEO’s room door, while one was still waiting at
the elevator door.
‘Why am I nervous like this? Is it because I haven’t dealt with important people for too long?’
At that moment, the CEO stopped right in front of her. When their

anything anymore. Her ears were ringing. Her brain failed to work. Her attention was stuck at those
cold gray eyes.
‘This man …. Isn’t he the twins’ father? The devil who screwed me at the Harper Hotel? Harper? Oh
my God! Why did I just realize?’
Kara looked like she was dealing with a ghost. Seeing her expression, Frank Harper furrowed his
eyebrows. He didn’t like that look, like there was something wrong with his face. In fact, he thought he
was perfect.
Kara blinked. She realized that her mouth was slightly open and quickly closed it.
‘It turns out he hasn’t changed? He is still a cold and heartless arrogant devil! What should I do now?
Should I pull his hair or poke his eyes? He’s the reason my life suffer!’
‘But what if he gets angry and kills me straight away? The twins will definitely be very sad. They won’t
be able to survive this cold world. Should I run away while this gray devil hasn’t realized my identity
yet?’
‘Yeah! I must not let this lewd devil oppress me any longer. He has thrown me out of his life. I’ll prove
that I can survive without a penny
of his money.”
“You!”
Kara pointed her index finger right in front of the CEO’s nose.
Everyone who saw it stared wide-eyed. For the first time, someone dared to confront Frank Harper so
bluntly. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
