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

Chapter 85

At Garner’s pad.

The rent for the auto shop was about to go up. Kristin, Summer, and Garner have all been cramming in there.

“Garner, the rent’s coming due. Are we still renting?” Kristin whispered. “The landlord was here. today to collect the rent, and he’s Jacking it up.”

Someone had been talking to the landlord, giving Kristin and Garner a hard time on purpose.

Garner sighed and leaned against the door outside, lighting a cigarette and saying, “I’ll handle the housing stuff.”

Kristin nodded. “Garner, Summer got into a scuffle at school today, roughed up the Gladstone family’s little lordling. Milo.”

Garner froze for a second, his cigarette hand going stiff. “Did Summer get hurt?”

Kristin shook her head. “Got a little bump on his head, nothing serious. But school… it’s off the table now. Milo’s mom is Eve. She’s from the FitzGerald family.”

Garner frowned, speaking in a heavy tone. “Forget it. We’ll find a new preschool.”

Kristin smiled bitterly and nodded. “Garner, you know what? Sometimes, I wonder if I should even be around.”

Garner tossed his smoke and yanked Kristin into the yard. “If you leave, what happens to Summer? No dad, and if no mom, how will he make it?”

“Sorry, Garner.” Kristin hung her head, tears hitting the ground.

Garner took a deep breath and glanced at his phone. “I’m pulling an all–nighter at work. I’ll handle the cash. Just take care of Summer.”

“I’m thinking of going to work on Monday. Got a shot at an interview,” Kristin said, checking her watch.

Garner nodded. “Cool, we’ll sort out Summer’s school thing before Monday.”

Kristin sat in the yard, zoned out.

Garner had been busy lately. He thought his lady boss was a loon with more dollars than sense. stirring the pot constantly.

But the pay was good, so he was sucking it up.

Bright and early the next day, Kristin was out hunting for a new preschool with Summer.
