Back at Rexton Manor, the driver immediately drove off after Chris and Kathryn got out of the car. Kathryn wanted the driver to drive her back to the company apartment. However, when she saw Chris's cold figure, she didn't dare say anything. The only thing she could do was follow him.When they got home, Chris looked at Kathryn and asked, "When are you moving your things here?"Kathryn's heart almost stopped. "Am I really staying here?" She felt a bit conflicted.She really didn't want to. She always got so nervous when she was with Chris.She'd probably crack under pressure if they spent too much time together. It would make her tell him everything about that night. A hint of coldness flashed in Chris's eyes, so Kathryn hastily nodded and said, "Tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow."Chris didn't say anything else. Instead, he took off his coat and dumped it on the couch with his phone. Then, he walked into the master bedroom.Kathryn stood at the entrance and patted her chest. She
The loud noise made Chris frown. He looked in the bathroom's direction!In the bathroom, Kathryn's heart was beating nonstop when Chris asked, "What's going on?" She froze when she heard that! She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "Mr. Albert, I don't have a towel!"There was silence. Kathryn wished she could bite her tongue off right then. If Chris didn't know she was this careless, he'd probably think she was trying to seduce him again. But right now, he was mostly bothered by her carelessness. He got up and got new towels from the closet. He walked to the bathroom before saying, "Open the door."Kathryn opened the door slightly. When she didn't see anyone, she stuck out a fair, slender hand. "Thank you."Chris knew Kathryn was tall and slender, but he didn't expect her arm to look muscled. Besides that, despite coming from the countryside, her skin was still very fair…Kathryn was freezing. She quickly wiped herself dry and got dressed. But Chris only gave her
Kathryn's heart almost stopped! She could feel Chris's breathing get erratic, which scared her even more. "Mr. Albert, no!With a burst of energy, she broke free of Chris's powerful hold and backed away.Chris was still drunk, but the action sobered him up completely. There was no more warmth in his eyes, only coldness!When Kathryn saw his cold look, her chest tightened. "Mr. Albert," she called out timidly.That sobered him up a little more, and he said, "Go to bed."Go to bed? Kathryn panicked even more when she heard the word "bed." So, she asked shakily, "Which bed?"She was clearly spooked, and that made Chris smile mysteriously. "Where do you want to sleep?""Nowhere. I want to go back to the company apartment," Kathryn said hastily.Chris's smile froze. Kathryn's worked with him for a long time, but she'd always been scared of him since she messed up her work a lot. Still, he didn't realize she was this scared of him. So, he said, "Sleep in the room you went to last
"You can still find one even if it's hard!" Kathryn's tone got even colder. The way she saw it, jobs weren't that hard to find. It's just that Maxwell was being too picky, like Tally said.He was still an intern but already desired a salary of two thousand dollars. What company would pay an intern that much? Aren't interns supposed to work their way up?Maxwell got a little annoyed when he heard Kathryn's reply. "I'm looking, aren't I? Why do you all keep nagging me?""Who's nagging you? You're the one asking for money!" Kathryn hated it when he said she was nagging him! Why was he still asking his family for money if he was so capable? Everyone needed to work hard once they were an adult. They didn't come from a rich family, but getting an education was already half the battle done.The fact that Maxwell didn't understand this meant his education was for nothing!When Maxwell realized Kathryn was standing her ground, he became timid again. "Kathryn, I really am looking for a jo
He was exhausted when he woke up. Damn it, why did he have that kind of dream? Was it because of that girl from the hotel? Some things just felt different after you experienced them!When he thought of that night in Northvale, he wished to find that girl and tear her to bits.Meanwhile, Kathryn was making breakfast in the kitchen when she felt a chill. She sneezed. Then, her phone started buzzing. When she saw that it was Jessica, she picked up. "Jessica?""Did you give Maxwell 50 dollars?""It's enough for one meal!" Kathryn huffed. It served him right for trying to act rich! That'd show him!That fixed his emergency situation, but that close call would probably haunt him for life. She thought Jessica would nag her again about Wendy causing trouble. But Jessica snorted and said, "Yeah, that's enough. It's time we taught him a lesson." After all, he knew he was broke, yet he took a bunch of friends out for dinner. And then, he called them both in the middle of the night, askin
When she took a closer look, she noticed she got blisters on her foot. When Chris saw it, he said coldly, "So stupid!"Kathryn bit her lip, making her seem even more pitiful. It was his fault for standing silently at the kitchen entrance and scaring her like that. And now he was calling her stupid. In Chris's mind, Kathryn had always been a little dumb. No matter what she did, something was bound to go wrong. So, a lot of the time, Markus needed to check her work! "You have blisters," Chris said after taking a look. The boiling hot pasta had scalded her foot really badly! Seeing the blisters on her foot, Kathryn fell silent and pouted pitifully. Chris brought over the emergency kit, but he couldn't find any ointments for burns. So, he called his personal doctor.The doctor asked him to put ice on the foot. Once he hung up, Chris carried Kathryn onto the sofa. Seeing her teary look, he asked, "Do you want to cry?"Kathryn sniffled, looking even more miserable than before."Do
In the end, Chris made a simple sausage muffin. Kathryn wasn't used to eating it, but she tried her best to eat some. She was still wearing the clothes Chris handed her last night. She was so scared back then that she hadn't washed her clothes. So either way, she needed to take the day off! Chris saw that she was conflicted, so he said, "Don't cook from now on. Your cooking is bad, anyway." It wasn't just bad, but it was cursed. First, she burned both the eggs and the bread. Then, she boiled pasta and added nothing else. And now, she scalded herself.When she thought about it, nothing she did went right. Kathryn thought Chris was angry about today's accident, so she pouted and said, "I didn't mean to do it.""Whether you meant to isn't the point. The point is, your cooking is so bad, you're wasting food!"Kathryn didn't know what to say. That insult was a bit harsh, but she couldn't talk back.After breakfast, Chris was about to go to the office. Before he left, he said, "Don't
"Hi, we're here to deliver Ms. Michael's clothes." When Kathryn heard the people were there to deliver clothes, she sat up on the couch and leaned over to see. Tally made way, and four people wearing uniforms wheeled a rack of clothes inside. Even Tally was shocked! As a rich heiress, she knew all these clothes were made by a famous designer.Were they … really just faking their marriage? Tally looked at the clothes suspiciously, then at the confused Kathryn on the couch.…Meanwhile, everyone at the office had started work, and the company had all their lights turned on. The news that Chris Albert had left holding Kathryn Michaels' hand was already spreading.Many female employees felt that it was so unfair! Especially Elise and Pippa. Pippa was obviously upset. After all, she was more capable compared to the newbie Kathryn. She felt that Kathryn had no right to be Chris's designated assistant. As for Elise, she also had her eye on the position of Executive Assistant. Now th
