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

Chapter 130

“Rhett, I heard Nicola and Vincent rolled into Harborside Haven ahead of time,” Hertha said with a sigh, a look of worry etched on her face for Rhett. “Eddie mentioned something about their assistant dropping off a gift worth three million. I know you don’t want to lose this project to Vincent, after all… Kris, what did you get for Eddie?”

Hertha was fishing for a laugh at Kristin’s expense.

If Kristin’s gift was less impressive than what Nicola and Vincent had lined up for Eddie, she was sure to be

the butt of the joke.

“Uh… king crab,” Kristin muttered under her breath.

“What?” Hertha thought Kristin might go for something modest, but king crab? She must have misheard.

“King crab…” Kristin repeated, a bit louder.

Hertha couldn’t help but cover her mouth to stifle a laugh. “Kris, are you serious?”

After mocking Kristin, Hertha quickly looked at Rhett. “Rhett, king crab is hardly an adequate. gift. We can’t be outdone by Vincent. Luckily, I had the foresight to prepare something else. We would’ve been the laughingstock.”

Pretending to be relieved, Hertha gave Kristin a reproachful look. “Kris, next time you’re picking out a gift, ask me for help, okay?”

Kristin lowered her head, silent.

Kristin felt that, given Eddie’s wealth, the price tag wouldn’t matter to him. She had intentionally put thought into choosing the king crab.

“Kristin’s choice of king crab is quite valuable,” Rhett said with a stern voice, clearly displeased. “Really? How much for a crab?” Hertha asked with a grin, eager to hear how much Rhett valued the crustacean.

“Three hundred a piece,” Kristin barely managed to look up at Rhett.

Hertha thought this was the funniest thing she’d heard all day and let out another laugh. “Kris, you’re just too adorable.”

“Do you think Eddie cares how much something costs? A billionaire like him? It’s not about the cash value but about the sentiment,” Rhett cautioned Hertha, warning her not to mock Kristin further.

Hertha’s smile dimmed as she turned to greet Eddie, who was coming out of the hotel..

“You’ve been rather poor company today. You’re docked a day’s pay,” Rhett ‘threatened‘ Kristin, seizing the moment.
