Chapter 81

Rhett furrowed his brows. Even if he was slow on the uptake, he got what Kristin was driving at. She was planning to be his human shield, and she wanted him to be her sugar daddy.

But Kristin wasn’t dumb. It’s tough to draw the line once things get romantic between a man and a woman.

He would look out for her, Summer, and Garner since it was a piece of cake within his wheelhouse.

“I’m not lying.” Kristin’s eyes reddened as Rhett remained silent. “Those rumors are not true. I’ve only been with James, not the multitude of men they’re claiming. No one else, just him.”

Rhett’s frown deepened as he glanced at the medical report from Crescendo Central Hospital.

James‘ assistant had taken her for the tests, all screenings for STDs.

Those tests were insulting..

“I wouldn’t touch James‘ girl.” Rhett tossed the report on the table.

Kristin looked down, tears welling up in her eyes.

Was she going to carry that stigma for life because of that one involuntary time?

*No need to play those tricks on me. You’re valuable to me, but not in that way. I’ll protect you and Summer, so forget about those plans,” Rhett spoke up again.

Embarassed, Kristin lapsed into silence. She wanted to use this tactic to tie Rhett down temporarily, but he wasn’t into her.

He even seemed to find her repulsive.

“I’m… I’m sorry.” Kristin’s fingers trembled as she took the report back and stuffed it into her bag.

“Let’s eat,” Rhett said, urging Kristin to eat.

Disheartened, Kristin nibbled on her food and remained silent for the rest of the meal.

“Kristin, I could use a personal assistant. I’ll have York handle the salary package for you. Pull yourself together and go for an interview at HR. Grab this opportunity.” Rhett mentioned as they left the restaurant.
