Chapter 182

Rhett smoothly extricated his arm from Patty’s grasp and aidled up beside Kristin. Thought I’d bring m out for a bite to eat

Party paused, thinking stie’d misheard. “And who might you be?”

“I’m… I’m Mr. FitzGerald’s assistant, Kristin interjected quickly, cutting off Rhett’s words.

Did he just say, my girl?

Rhett frowned, casting a meaningful glance at Kristin as if to remind her not to forget her role.

It dawned on Kristin that her purpose was to ward off the advances of other women from Rhett.

But did she need to fend off Patty as well?

“Assistant?” Patty’s smile was charming, with a hint of familiarity in her expression. “Since when did Rhett start hiring female assistants?”

“I… I’m actually Mr. FitzGerald’s.. mistress!” Kristin blurted out in a fluster.

That would make Patty back off from Rhett, right? She thought.

Rhett took a deep breath, clearly irritated by Kristin. Mistress? So in Kristin’s eyes, he was now playing the role of a sugar daddy?

“Rhett…” Patty’s face was a mix of shock and amusement as she covered her mouth with her hand. “Turns out you’re not as immune to the charms of women as the rumors say. So, aside from me, there’s another girl who can get close to you?”

Her words carried a playful undertone as she squatted down to speak to Summer. “Aren’t you a cutie? Do you know who I am?”

Summer shook his head, hiding behind Kristín.

“I know you. You’re that girl from the billboards,” Milo declared with a hint of sass.

“Wow, this little guy knows me. Do you know what my relationship is with your uncle?” Patty asked with an insinuating smile.

“No idea,” Milo responded, shaking his head.

“How would you like it if I became your auntie?” Patty teased Milo, clearly also directing the question at
