Chapter 184

Kristin wanted to ask, but whenever there had been gossip about Rhett in the past, he never bothered to clear it up.

“Talking about those old rumors?” Rhett felt a twinge of guilt. “Patty’s under contract with my label. It was Hanson’s idea to drum up some publicity for her at the time…”

Back then, Rhett had no clue that one day he would meet Kristin. “I can explain this.”

“I meant to set the record straight, but I just didn’t feel like going into it. Should I issue a statement tomorrow?” Rhett was worried Kristin would be upset.

Kristin looked puzzled. “Why issue a statement?”

Wasn’t this all pretty standard stuff?

“I don’t want you to get the wrong idea…” Rhett took a sharp breath in.

So this is what it felt like to be on edge in front of someone you liked.

“Not at all,” Kristin shook her head. “We’re working together, and my job is to shield you from those women. I Just need to know your true intentions, Mr. FitzGerald. If she’s someone you care about, I’ll keep my distance.”

Kristin’s business–like response deflated Rhett’s spirits.

“You don’t need to keep your distance,” Rhett’s voice was heavy with emotion.

“Mr. FitzGerald…” Kristin was relentless, asking softly again. “You don’t have any special feelings for Miss Patty, do you?”

“Do I look like I’m interested in her? Rhett huffed, visibly irked.

Kristin didn’t understand what had set Rhett off, her gaze falling to her fidgeting fingers.

Even if Rhett claimed not to care, she must have embarrassed him in front of Hanson. He could still get angry, right?

Her upbringing and her past weighed on her, making Kristin painfully self–conscious.

Rhett parked his luxury car next to the night market that Summer and Garner frequently visited. Among a sea of shared electric scooters and tricycles, his million–dollar vehicle stood out like a sore thumb.

Of course, there was another car just as conspicuous as Rhett’s
