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

Chapter 116

As she watched Kristin and Rhett leave, Hertha’s expression turned sour.

“Ms. Haywood…” Rhett’s secretary spoke softly.

“I’ll wait here.” Hertha responded, her face quickly returning to an innocent smile. “I’ll have lunch with Rhett after his meeting.”

She settled onto the couch, where she remained the entire morning.

Her love for Rhett stretched back to childhood. Yet, Rhett never seemed to notice her. But Hertha had always known that Rhett would be hers somehow. By any means necessary, she’d ensure that he would marry her.

With such a blunder, could Kristin even stay at the company after this?

“Ms. Haywood, don’t fret. The ambulance has arrived and Mr. FitzGerald is already on his way to the hospital,” the secretary reassured.

Hertha nodded, her voice heavy with implication. “Randall, how long have you been

“This is my second year,” the secretary Randall promptly replied.
