S21 9. My Number One
“What if you meet a woman prettier than me? Sexier? Smarter? More powerful? More
everything?” Kara raised an eyebrow.
Frank shook his head firmly. “That’s impossible, Kara. Even if there were, I would still
consider her as lower than you. You are always my number one.”
Without realizing it, Kara’s lips trembled. Compassion had welled up in her chest. Before
Frank caught it, she tightened her embrace again.
“Thanks, Frank,” she whispered.
“I’m the one who should be thanking you.”
Frank put his nose on Kara’s shoulder, inhaling the scent he loved the most. In a blink of
an eye, his blood rushed to his groin.
“Kara, how about we go to the bedroom now?”
Feeling something pressing against her, Kara sighed in disbelief. ” You’re lucky Louis is still
playing in the back yard.”
“Yeah, that’s why we should hurry. Don’t let anyone see and accuse me of needing to pee
again.”
Kara laughed even harder. Letting Frank take her hand, she ran along She had forgotten
about her mother-in-law who was secretly peeking from the balcony window.
“Let’s see how long you guys can last.” Melanie snorted in disgust. After the couple
disappeared behind their bedroom door, she hurried down the stairs. The plan had to be
changed. She just knew that Kara wouldn’t give up Harper’s name just by incitement.

“What?” Barbara’s eyes widened when she heard Melanie’s explanation. “I have to make a
portfolio?”
“Yes, Dear. We have no other choice. Your brother might get suspicious if I kept pushing
him into giving you a position.”
Barbara sighed in disbelief. “But, what should I write? I don’t have any achievements. I
even didn’t finish my study. Moreover, work experience. I have never created a single
design.”
Melanie pursed her lips. Not finding a solution, she patted Barbara on her shoulder. “Just
write as best you can. Put a little lie if necessary, but don’t be too obvious. You can do it. I

Barbara stared dumbfounded at her mother walking towards the door. “Mom?”

However, Melanie still went out and closed the door. Barbara tried to catch up, but her
mother had run as best she could towards the stairs. The girl could only grimace in
annoyance.
“What should I write?” she muttered angrily.
At that moment, Nora appeared from the door at the end of the hall. Just as the girl
passed in front of her, Barbara cleared her throat. Hey, you!”
The servant startled. She checked around. There was no one other
than Barbara and herself.
“Do you call me, Miss?”
“Yeah, who else? Come here!”
While Barbara went in to get something, Nora waited at the door. Cold sweat began to
bead on the back of her neck.
“Make me a portfolio!” Barbara handed Nora the laptop.

“Portfolio?” The young servant’s eyes widened. “What is a portfolio?”
Barbara blinked stiffly. “You didn’t know? What did you use to apply for a job here?”

Nora blinked innocently. “I just submitted my personal data and then took part in the
interview,” she answered slowly, afraid of making a
mistake.
The corners of Barbara’s lips twitched. “I thought the servants in this house were the
chosen ones. It turns out, you guys are the same as the servants in general? Low-
educated and brainless?”
Nora lowered her head. Her fingers were interlaced politely in front of her stomach. “Sorry,
Miss. I’m not an educated person. But, if you need help, maybe you can meet Philip.”
“Philip?” One of Barbara’s eyebrows rose.
“Philip is the assistant of Young Master and Young Lady. Head of service and security in
this house. He was the most educated among us, and smart too. Because of that fact, he
was chosen to replace Mister Jeremy. Maybe he can help.”
Barbara fell silent for a moment. She remembered the young man who was always near
the twins. “So, he’s their assistant too?” muttered subconsciously.
After a moment of silence, she snorted. “Where is he now?”
Nora glanced at the clock. “It’s time for Young Master and Young
Lady taking a nap. Philip must be sitting on the east veranda. Wo you like me to take
you?”
Barbara raised her chin. “No.”
After closing the bedroom door, Barbara left with her laptop. However, three steps away,
she stopped. “Where is the east

The servant flinched. Quick as lightning, she straightened her five fingers. “Towards the
rising sun, Miss.”
Barbara’s expression turned sour. “I also know the sun rises from the
east.”
Without saying thank you, she looked away. Nora could only stroke
her chest.
“How can there be such an arrogant person in this house? Mr. and Mrs. Harper must be so
unlucky. They just married, but already faced with heavy burden.”
Seeing Philip sitting casually facing the garden, Barbara snorted. ” Hey, aren’t you well
paid? Why are you lazing around here?”
Philip didn’t answer. His gaze didn’t even move from the tablet in his
hand.
“Hey, I’m talking to you. Why not answer? Are you mute, hmm?”

However, Philip still acted as if she didn’t exist. Annoyed, Barbara swung the laptop
towards his arm. This time, Philip could no longer remain silent. “Hey, why did you hit
me?”
Barbara lifted her chin. “It’s your own fault! I asked you twice, but you didn’t answer.”
“I’m not Hey. My name is Philip. Did you call me just now? No, right? I didn’t even know
there was someone named Hey in this house.”
Barbara gasped. “You dare argue? You don’t even speak formally to me?”
A sigh of disbelief escaped her mouth. “You’re not afraid of being

“Just do it. Even if your brother gets angry and fires me, I can still work in this house. I’m
also Young Master and Young Lady’s assistant. Only they have the right to strip me of that
position.”
Barbara started laughing. Her voice was flat and full of sarcasm.” You’re challenging me?”
Philip’s forefinger suddenly shot up. “One more thing you need to know. I’m not here to
relax. I monitor daily reports and make plans for the next week.”
Philip shook the tablet in his hand. Barbara glanced as if indifferent. “I need your help.”
She opened a new topic.
Philip’s eyes narrowed. “You dare ask for help after berating me?”
Barbara shrugged. “I’m the young lady in this house, while you are the assistant. It’s only
natural that you help me.”
“Jeez ….” Philip laughed mockingly. “Who said you were the young lady of this house?
Sorry if I sound rude, but this needs to be straightened out.”
Suddenly, Philip put the tablet on the table and got up from the chair. Barbara was now
forced to look up to maintain her sharp gaze.
“The only young lady in this house is Emily. So, the young girl who has the right to give us
orders is only Miss Emily Harper. You already arbitrarily changed the lunch menu this
afternoon. You’re lucky that you’re Mr. Harper’s half-sister. Otherwise, I will not forgive
you.”
