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

Chapter 110

In the executive office, Kristin’s phone was buzzing incessantly.

Rhett’s displeasure was evident as Kristin fumbled to silence her phone.

“Copy this document a hundred times,” Rhett said, giving Kristin a task.

Kristin glanced at the document, which was a set of employee guidelines. A hundred copies? “Mr. FitzGerald, are these for distribution to the entire staff?” she asked.

“Yep,” Rhett replied indifferently.

Back in the office, Kristin’s phone continued to vibrate. James‘ call was still unanswered. Rhett stood up, glanced at the phone, smirked, and walked over to the window.

He wouldn’t touch Kristin’s phone, but the thought of James growing increasingly irate downstairs brought him a twisted sense of satisfaction.

He remembered he called Kristin that day in Crescendo Town, and James had audaciously hung up on him. Rhett always appreciated a bit of tit–for–tat

After several unanswered calls, he knew Rhett was to blame.

When he tried calling Rhett directly, there was no answer.

Furrowing his brow, James massaged his temples.

Knowing Rhett as he did, there must be a reason he was engaging in such pettiness over a
