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

Chapter 214

“Look, 1 know Kristin is just your PA, but if Mr. FitzGerald is willing, I’m prepared to triple her salary to hire her,” Hanson said in a deep voice, his gaze lingering on Kristin. “Name your price.”

Rhett gave Hanson a once–over. “Shame Mr. Lewis didn’t take a stab at Hollywood, you could’ve been quite the drama king with your everywhere presence.”

Hanson took a deep breath, ignoring Rhett’s quip.

In Hanson’s view, anything he desired was merely a matter of time before it fell into his lap, even with a formidable competitor like Rhett.

“Mr. FitzGerald should worry about himself for a change. I’m not the only one swamped with work lately.” Hanson spoke nonchalantly, glancing at the clock. “I’ll have Liam’s stuff sent over. Liam only drinks fresh milk flown in from New Zealand and eats the finest organic produce. His fruits have to be imported from the South.”

Kristin couldn’t help but steal a glance at Rhett. Before she had come into his life, his butler was also particular about the ingredients.

Ever since she arrived, Rhett seemed to grow less fussy.

Rhett paid no mind to Hanson, though he suspected the man might be a bit under the weather.

“Liam has a weak heart, no emotional outbursts or strenuous activities,” Hanson continued.

“Enough, you sound like you’ve ever taken care of a kid yourself.” Rhett was tired of Hanson’s presence. “Just go, you’re quite the busy

man.”

With a huff, Hanson checked the time again. “Liam, call me if you need anything.”

Liam nodded.

Only then did Hanson leave, content.

Once Hanson had gone, Rhett kicked the door shut, cursing the bad vibes he brought into the evening. He half–joked about wanting to put up a sign at the neighborhood entrance: “Beware of Dogs and the Lewises Not Allowed.”

Kristin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure Hanson brought was suffocating.

In the past, she used to get tense and sweat buckets when around Rhett.

But now… it seemed like she had grown to rely on him. Whenever Rhett was around, she felt she could let her guard down a bit.
