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

Chapter 64

Harriet gawked at Rhett, scooting over to the side and quietly stood up to distance herself.

Women’s intuition was spot on to tell if a guy’s up to no good in a heartbeat. And Rhett, at least for now, didn’t seem to have a mean bone in his body.

Nearby, a few managers exchanged shocked glances. Just who the heck was Kristin?

Mr. Bryce personally delivered breakfast to her, and now Rhett swung by to sweet–talk her.

Everyone was on edge, racking their brains on how to handle Kristin with kid gloves from now

Seeing Rhett reach out, Kristin almost lifted her hand on impulse.

But halfway through, she pulled back, instinctively keeping her distance and slowly edged away. “Sorry…”

She apologized to the managers with her shoulders hunched and then to Rhett. “Sorry.”

“Come with me,” Rhett said, grabbing Kristin’s wrist, wanting to whisk her away.

The burn on the back of her hand was nearly healed, but there was a round burn mark near her lower eyelid that was hard to miss.

Everyone at the club could guess it was a cigarette burn.

Kristin’s face was too pristine, so the scar stood out like a sore thumb.

“What happened to your face?” Rhett asked.

Kristin squirmed, trying to break free from his grip. Being the center of attention scared her.

Seeing that Kristin stayed silent, Rhett didn’t pry further and took out some burn ointment from his car, handing it to her.

Kristin was stunned for a second, looking at the ointment and then back at Rhett.

He had burn ointment in his car, all because of her hand…

Shaking her head, Kristin derisively looked down, mocking herself for being so presumptuous.

As if.
