Chapter 222

Outside, York was frantically pressing the doorbell and calling on his phone

However, Rhett was having none of it, playing deal on purpose

“Mr. Holcomb, please calm down. I’m right outside knocking on the door. Mr. Rholt seems not to be home, I will get ahold of him, just stay calm,” York pleaded into his phone, barely restraining himself from cursing out Holcomb for being such a stubborn old mile

Holcomb was clearly playing hardball, threatening Rhett with his shares and the CEO position. He gave Rhett an ultimatum, show up in the boardron within half an hour or face a board led ousting from his role,

*Mr. Rhett, where are you? York hung up the call, nearly in tears.

This was not the right time for any of this, especially with Rhett suddenly announcing his relationship on Twitter.

Unable to reach Rhett, York had no choice but to call Kristin.

Meanwhile, Kristin was feeling anxious, about to answer the phone when it rang.

“So noisy,” Rhett playfully trapped Kristin, preventing her from picking up the call.

Kristin was at a loss with Rhett. “Mr. Fitzgerald, It’s York. What if it’s something urgent?”

“What urgent matter could he possibly have that’s more important than me?” Rhett pulled Kristin closer, entangling her in his embrace like an octopus. “Let’s get some sleep.”

“Mr. Fitzgerald…” Kristin’s voice was hoarse.

“From tomorrow on, stop calling me Mr. Fitzgerald,” Rhett joked.

He had surely angered Holcomb today, and Holcomb was likely to strip him of his CEO title for sure.

“Mr. Fitzgerald…” Kristin looked at Rhett in alarm, “We should go to the office now, just to buy some time, okay?”

“Don’t worry about it,” Rhett said with firm resolve.

Kristin felt a pang of empathy for him.

Just how disappointed must he be with Holcomb to choose such a defiant path?

She didn’t ask further questions. Her heart was in turmoil, not knowing whether Rhett had a plan or an exit strategy.
