When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 25

“Are you strapped for cash?” Tam casually asked after dropping Kristin off.

Kristin didn’t reply but looked down and got out of the car.

“Take these. I’m not carrying much cash. I’ll hook you up with some more tomorrow,” Tam said, shoving a few bills from his car into Kristin’s hand. “Don’t trash yourself for money. Sure, you’re used to living in the lap of luxury, but you’re not a legit heiress. Even if you’re faking it, you have to hustle. Selling your body for cash would get you looked down on.”

Having had a thing for Kristin long ago, Tam furrowed his brow and gave her advice.

Besides, Kristin had protected him just now.

Kristin glanced at the money Tam offered, didn’t take it, and just walked away.

That was an insult to her.

“You think that’s too little?” Tam exploded. “Whatever those guys like Lance are paying you, I’ll double it, and you can spend the night with me!”

After his outburst, Tam didn’t notice his ears had turned red.

Damn it! Cursing inwardly, Tam felt he’d been too bold.

Kristin bit her lip, glared at Tam, said nothing, and ran into the alley.

“Damn it!” Tam cursed again, feeling he’d lost his mind. Everyone knew Kristin was trouble, willing to go with any man, and possibly carrying diseases.

Maybe because he’d always been around Garner, Summer felt particularly secure in Garner’s shabby little hut, sprawling out as he slept.

“You’ll sleep in the bed with Summer, and I’ll crash on the couch,” Gafner said. He was poor and couldn’t afford a place in Silvergrove City, so he tidied up the shed he used.for work just enough to be livable, albeit a bit cold in winter.

“Garner…” Kristin called softly. “Tomorrow, I want to find a job.”
