Chapter 14
Kevin said without thinking, "At Innovative Tech, I am the boss, and you can count on me. Only you can bully others. How can you let others bully you?"
"Thank you!" Karen said.
Fortunately, he did not ask anything more, but just stood beside her to support her.
"Thank me for what?" Kevin raised his eyebrows and said, "We're husband and wife. Shouldn't we trust each other and help each other?"
Karen raised her eyebrows and smiled. The feeling of being trusted and being silently supported felt really good, which made her feel a trace of warmth even in the cool autumn breeze.
Seeing Karen smiling, Kevin added, "How about going with me for a walk?"
Karen did not want to go back to participate in the activities, but she was worried about being seen by others. For a moment, she did not know whether to agree or not.
Kevin did not give her time to think about it. He took her hand and said, "Follow me."
Karen's hand was very cold. Although it was not that cold in autumn, there was almost no warmth in her hand. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
But suddenly, her hand was held by his warm hand, and his heat transmitted to her little by little, and this made her stop pulling back her hand.
After a long time, Karen heard him say in a low voice, "Come to me if you encounter these things in the future."
His words made Karen stop abruptly. She looked up at him, pursed her lips, and asked cautiously, "Kevin, don't you wonder what kind of person I used to be?"
Kevin withdrew his hand and she felt a glimpse of heartache. Just as she was about to say something, his big hands landed on her back and gently embraced her in his arms.
She looked up at him in surprise and Kevin said, "Karen, your past has nothing to do with me. I only care about your future."
Leaning against Kevin's sturdy chest, listening to his calm heartbeat, and hearing his voice, for some reason, her eyes began to blur.
She snuggled like a kitten in his arms. Kevin paused for a moment, then he held on to her even tighter.
After a long time, Karen raised her head from his arms. "I..."
He interrupted her. "I'll take you somewhere."
Karen nodded. He held her hand and continued to move forward.
As he walked, a colorful bed of roses appeared on the left of the lawn.
The flowers were full of colors, and the fragrance was delicate. They were all in full bloom, and it was a magnificent view.
Karen had seen flowers in full bloom before, but she had never seen such a large garden of flowers. She couldn't even see the edge at first glance.
"It's so beautiful! I really want to stay here for a month." Karen kept praising the beauty of this place. She couldn't wait to plunge into the bed of flowers and never come out again.
Kevin looked at her with his seductive thin lips slightly raised. The entire Ocean Behae Villa was his property. She could live here for a lifetime, let alone a month.
Karen asked, "I thought flowers only bloom in early summer? How can they bloom in autumn?"
Kevin said, "The ancients never thought that a plane could fly."
"You're right. Technology is so advanced. Nothing is strange." Karen smiled. "Can I go in and have a look?"
Kevin nodded.
Karen smiled at him.
Today, Karen was wearing a white shirt and overalls, with a little bear sewn on her white shirt. Her black hair was tied back into a ponytail. She dressed up so simply, like a girl of 17 or 18 years old, which was far different from what she looked like at work.
Seeing Karen run around in the flowers like a bee, Kevin took a video of her on his mobile phone for the first time.
Suddenly, a mobile phone rang, breaking the silence. Karen smiled apologetically at Kevin and answered, "William, what's the matter?"
Kevin could not hear what was being said through the phone, but when Karen heard the words, she said immediately, "I'll go back right away."
Hanging up, Karen looked at Kevin and smiled apologetically. "My colleagues are looking for me. I'm going back."
Kevin reached out and took off the leaves caught on her hair. "I'll ask the tour bus to send you back."
Karen nodded. "Okay."
Watching Karen leave in the buggy, Kevin looked away and called in a low voice, "Amelia."
Amelia hurried over and said, "Director Kevin, don't worry. Madonna's termination contract is ready."
Kevin said coldly. "Okay."
After leaving Kevin, Karen returned to the team. William saw her and immediately ran over. "Karen, where did you go? I haven't seen you for a long time. You scared me."
Karen smiled and said, "I think the scenery here is so beautiful, so I walked around."
William said, "It's time for dinner. The company has arranged for everyone to dine at Cozy Pavilion. Let's go in."
Karen nodded and walked, but she didn't notice that there was a pool of water on the floor tiles under her feet. She slipped backward.
William quickly held her up.
Abruptly, she pushed him away, took two steps back, and said politely, "Thank you!"
William's arms were now empty, and he said gloomily, "Let's go."
Kevin and Amelia happened to witness this scene. Amelia said faintly, "It seems that Karen is quite popular among the men in the company."
Kevin looked at Amelia darkly. Amelia said innocently, "Would you like me to prepare William's termination contract?"
"No." Kevin said coldly and turned to leave.
