His secretary had already arranged a lunch appointment for Kevin Kyle with Director Houston at noon. At this point, when she heard that Kevin was going to have lunch with his wife, she was distressed, but she did not dare to have any objection.
Karen Daly's identity as Kevin's rightful wife had not been announced to the public, therefore nobody knew about it. However, after Warren Silas' attempted seizing of power of Rovio the last time, Karen had shown up in the headquarters, and all the internal employees at Rovio finally came to know about her existence.
Everyone knew that their Director Kevin not only doted on his daughter but also on his wife. No one would dare to object if he said that he had a lunch date with his wife.
"Yes." The secretary made arrangements as soon as he received the order.
As soon as the secretary left, Karen came downstairs. Ignoring the onlookers' gazes at Kevin, she plunged into Kevin's arms and snuggled like a child. She was overjoyed and kept jumping up and down.
She said, "Mr. Kyle, can you guess what good news I have for you?
Kevin stroked her head and thought for a moment, "Well, did your boss tell you that you will get a raise when you come back to work?"
Karen pouted her mouth and said, "That's tacky!"
Kevin smiled and replied, "I am a businessman. The first instinct for a businessman would always be monetary benefits."
Karen rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll give you another chance. Guess again."
Kevin pretended to think about it seriously and said, "If It wasn't a pay raise, then I really can't think of anything else."
Karen knew that Kevin was particularly slow in this aspect.
She still remembered a few years ago, she had asked him to guess about her mother naming the lake at the Snow Mountain in Beaford City. He failed to guess even after a long time, what a fool.
Karen blinked at him and said, "Mr. Kyle, I'll give you another chance. Try guessing it again. If you can guess, you'll get a big reward."
"Is your company going to set up a new project? You are a part of it, and the project is for bridal design, something you've always dreamed of." Hearing that there was a reward, Kevin blurted what he knew in one breath, without any hesitation.
"Kevin, you have known about this in advance, haven't you?" Karen was not a fool. Since Kevin had spoken so accurately and without any pause, she would definitely suspect him.
"Know about what?" Kevin was rather good when it came to acting, and his pretense could absolutely deceive people.
Karen asked, "About what you've just said?"
"Don't you mean that I have just guessed it correctly?" Kevin's expression was even more surprised than Karen's was, that he managed to fool Karen into believing that he really knew nothing about it in advance.
Karen replied, "Bingo, you've guessed it right."
Kevin chuckled. "What about the reward?"
Karen looked around and whispered, "Lower your head."
Kevin obediently lowered his head. Karen hooked her arm on his neck, quickly planted a kiss on his face, and then quickly moved away.
She blushed and said, "This is the reward."
Kevin touched his cheek where she had kissed. He could still feel the tender touch of her soft lips on his face, with hint of fragrance and sweetness.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I like this reward very much."
Karen smiled shyly, "Let's go. I'll treat you to lunch."
Kevin asked, "Have you brought enough money, Mrs. Kyle?"
Hearing Kevin's question, Karen really did open her handbag to check. She didn't bring her credit card, and there were only 200 dollars in her bag.
