My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 8

Amelia was stunned at his words, and then she reacted. "Karen has experienced much hurt and betrayal. She has no one to rely on in the past three years. If she is not strong, how could she have survived?"

Kevin stopped and turned to look at her darkly.

Amelia added immediately, "But she has you to take care of her in the future."

......

The meeting room was on the 23rd floor, and the sales department was on the 19th floor. When the elevator reached the 22nd floor, the door opened, and Madonna from the Public Relations Department walked in.

Karen didn't like people like Madonna, so she stood aside and didn't want to greet her.

Madonna glanced at Karen, turned her head towards the elevator door, and said with her head up, "Some people think that by moving to a new city, everyone would forget all the bad things that she had ever done."

Karen listened to her but didn't want to waste time on such a woman as Madonna.

Her nonchalant attitude irritated Madonna. She turned around and glared at Karen. "Karen, don't you know that our boss is married?"

Karen pursed her lips and chuckled. If she did not know that Kevin was married, who else would know?

Madonna wanted to hook up with Kevin, so she figured Karen would think the same way. She said, "The boss has asked Special Assistant Amelia to send an internal email early this morning. He announced to the whole company that he is a married man."

Karen was busy with the bidding of Star Glow Corporation, so busy that she didn't read the internal emails that day. She really didn't know about it.

Now that she knew it, she could not help but feel a trace of sweetness in her heart.

Kevin had said that when he saw other men being close to her, he would be jealous, and further to that, he had already declared to everyone that he was a married man to prevent any unwanted attention.

Thinking of this, Karen felt happy deep in her heart. She couldn't help but start laughing.

Madonna was having an unrealistic fantasy about Kevin. But when she saw his email come in the morning, her heart sank.

She felt depressed for more than half a day, and she wanted someone else to wallow in sadness with her. As soon as the idea popped into her mind, she thought of Karen.

She had expected Karen to be bitter about the news too, but she didn't expect that Karen would have such a calm expression, and this made her really angry.

Madonna was so angry; she stomped her foot hard. She gritted her teeth and thought, "I can't do anything to Karen now, but someday I will get hold of her weakness and bring down her arrogance."

......

Learning from her experiences the previous day, Karen did not delay her returning home and left the office as soon as possible after work. She hoped that she could prepare a good meal before Kevin got off work so that he would not go hungry.

When she went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, she called him on the phone.

When she called, Kevin was holding an emergency meeting with several high-ranking executives.

He raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Then he picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"

Karen said, "I'm at the supermarket. Do you have anything you like to eat?"

He replied calmly, "I'm not picky about food. It's up to you."

When Kevin said this, Amelia and Nick were standing next to him. When they heard what he had said, they exchanged glances.

If he wasn't picky, then no one else was.

When Kevin returned home, Karen was busy in the kitchen.

She was wearing an apron, with her long black hair casually tied up, exposing her fair neck, she was stir-frying with a spatula in her hand.
