Recalling the things that Kevin had said to her all this time, Karen suddenly felt that it was possible that Kevin did not like women.
For the entire night and the next two days, all Karen could think of when she was free, was this the problem. When she sank deep into thought, she could not even hear her phone ring.
May walked over and knocked on her table. "Karen, your phone has rung several times. Why don't you answer it?"
Karen reacted quickly. She grabbed her phone and found that the three missed calls were all from Kevin.
She bit her lip and called back. Kevin answered the phone but did not speak. It seemed that he was waiting for her to speak first.
Karen scratched her head and said cautiously, "I was busy earlier, so I didn't hear the phone ringing. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Kevin's low and sexy voice spoke, "I was just calling my wife, checking up on her, in my free time in between work."
Karen smiled silently. "Well, I see."
In actual fact, at this time, Kevin had just come back from his business trip. He wanted to tell her that he was back, but suddenly wanted to see her reaction when he surprises her, so he did not tell her.
Amelia knocked on the door and came in. "Director Kevin, Rovio Corporation Inc's headquarters in Chatterton Town will be completed next month. This will also become a new landmark in Chatterton and even in the whole of Asia. The word that you are in Chatterton has gone around. The people who want to see you have already made appointments up to three months later. I'm afraid that you won't have much free time these days."
"When have I been idle these years?" Kevin waved his hand gesturing for Amelia Gray to leave the room. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "I was walking around and heard someone talking about 500 dollars."
Kevin usually didn't care about gossip, but he overheard Karen's name by chance, so he asked casually.
Amelia said with a smile, "Not long ago when we were organizing the company retreat, everyone was betting on whether you would join or not. Speaking of which, I have to thank Karen. She had bet that you will join. So I also bet 500 dollars on that and won hundreds in the end."
Kevin narrowed his eyes under the golden mirror, and his face darkened instantly.
It turned out that Karen had hoped him to participate in the event just for 500 dollars.
Was it possible that he, Kevin, was not as important as 500 dollars?!
Noticing his face turn dark, Amelia pretended not to see it and added, "Director Kevin, you didn't use to participate in such activities in the past. This time, you went there for Karen, right?"
Kevin glanced darkly at Amelia. "Don't you want to get off work early?"
Amelia quickly left.
Kevin's face was displeased for the whole afternoon. He did not say a word, wondering why he was not as important as just 500 dollars.
......
Karen did not know that Kevin had returned. When she went home, she only prepared a meal for one, and Momo's dog food.
While she was eating, Kevin opened the door and walked in.
When he looked over, Karen had a mouthful of rice in her mouth and a bone in her hand, feeding Momo. The vision of her with the dog was very warm and welcoming.
Kevin glanced at them coldly and said nothing.
Karen quickly swallowed her food and hurriedly explained, "I didn't know you were back, so I didn't wait for you to eat."
Kevin changed his shoes but still didn't say anything.
