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

Chapter 198

At the wedding, Rhett and Kristi

Kristin was a bundle of nerves but obeyed, ignoring the incessant ringing.

Back at the hotel, her mind was elsewhere, anxiety gnawing at her. Crossing Holcomb was like poking a bear – you don’t do it unless you’re looking for trouble.

If she were in Rhett’s shoes, she’d lay low, bide her time, and play nice – whether it meant forging an alliance with the Haywoods or the Lewises. You have to secure your footing before you can tighten your grip on power.

She had faith in Rhett’s capabilities. Given three years, she was sure the FitzGerald Group would be clutched firmly in his hands.

But he had chosen this moment to lock horns with Holcomb.

It was a bold move, but not necessarily the wisest.

Yet, this was Rhett’s choice, and Kristin felt it wasn’t her place to question it.

“What do you want for dinner?” Rhett asked softly.

“I…” Kristin looked up at him, her thoughts elsewhere. “Anything’s fine. I’m not picky.”

“How about I cook for you?” Rhett suggested, wrapping his arms around her.

Thankfully, their resort suite was outfitted with a kitchen, ready for use.

Kristin’s eyes widened in surprise. “Mr. FitzGerald, please tell me you’re not planning to torch the hotel kitchen? That could cost a fortune…”

–

Her worry about the cost vanished as she remembered who she was talking to Rhett could certainly afford it.

Rhett chuckled at her concern. “I made sandwiches for you the other day, didn’t I?”

“Sandwiches don’t require cooking,” Kristin pointed out, eyeing the ingredients that the hotel butler had prepared in anticipation of Rhett’s culinary endeavor.

It was clear Rhett was set on grilling steaks.
