Hearing what Faye said, Karen's heart skipped a beat. She carefully recalled the day of the blind date. On that day, Kevin had come straight to find her. She couldn't have made a mistake.
"Karen..." Faye grabbed Karen's hand, nervously. "Tell me what's going on."
She was worried that Karen, this silly girl, being cheated by a big liar.
Karen then told Faye about the blind date, the marriage registration, and how Kevin came to be her company's new boss in detail. Hearing this, Faye's eyes almost popped out. "Karen, what do you think I should say about this?"
Faye took back the iPad that she had tossed aside, quickly clicking on the browser to search for the boss of Innovative Tech, Kevin Kyle. She said, "I'm sure that Kevin must be a bald and big-bellied old man. How can he be worthy of such a beautiful woman like you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Faye was shocked by the pictures she saw on the Internet.
Although only two photos taken during the press conference on Kevin's appointment day could be found on the Internet, it was enough to see his unparalleled appearance.
Faye said excitedly, "B*tch, slap me. Tell me I'm not dreaming."
Karen slapped Faye on the back. "That's the person."
Faye did a little dance and said, "Such a handsome man he is, and on top of that, he is so capable – and he has become your husband! You have been unlucky for so many years. Are you a lucky dog now?"
Karen was not in the mood to joke with her. She asked, "Are you saying that you really didn't introduce Kevin to me?"
Faye said, "Actually, perhaps it was an indirect introduction. It was a client of mine at the studio. He told me that he knew some quality men. I thought of you when I heard about it, so..."
Karen grabbed the cushion on the sofa and threw it at Faye. "How worried are you that I can't get married?"
"I'm not worried that you can't get married, but I'm worried that you don't want to." Faye suddenly hugged her, feeling happy but a little sad. "Karen, you must live a happier life than anyone else and give those who doubt you a hard slap."
Karen patted Faye on the back and said gently, "Faye, the past is the past. I won't trap myself anymore. I will live happily, not for proving to the others, but only for myself."
Karen had really thought so. Of course, Faye was the happiest person upon hearing these words.
She rushed to the refrigerator and took out two cans of beer. "B*tch, I wish you a happy new marriage! You must be blessed in the future. If that Kevin Kyle dare bully you, as long as I am here, you don’t have to be afraid."
Speaking of Kevin, Karen felt very satisfied. There was a little smile in her sparkly eyes. "Although we don't love each other, I believe in his personality. I think we will get on well."
That night, Karen and Faye chatted for a long time. They didn't finish until dawn came.
But after the conversation, which lasted all night, Faye was finally relieved.
It was really great that Karen had opened her heart to another person.
......
Despite losing a night's sleep, Karen still had to get up early to go to work.
Work was more important than anything else in her eyes. No matter how tired she was, she would not allow herself to leave her work behind.
At noon, Kevin waited for Karen to eat lunch together. When he saw that she seemed much more tired than before, he said thoughtfully after lunch, "Karen, there is a break room. Go rest for an hour."
Karen opened her mouth and wanted to tell him not to bother, but when she saw his caring eyes, she swallowed the words back.
Although there was no love, Kevin was more than qualified to be her husband. He really cared about her.
Moreover, without any energy, her work efficiency would naturally decrease. Karen understood this simple principle.
