The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1222

When Kari's assistant noticed her boss's unusually bright red lips, she couldn't help but lean in closer and ask, "Kari, your lips are so red. You sure you're okay?"

A fleeting blush crossed Kari's face as she brushed off the concern. "I-It's nothing—"

It was all Ronald's fault for causing such a fuss!

Grabbing some paperwork, Kari tried to focus on getting Bri-jeweled Studio into gear, but her mind kept drifting back to the incident in the parking lot, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.

After the assistant left the office, she remained puzzled.

Ms. Patel's antics had inadvertently broadcasted to the entire studio that Ronald and Kari were quite the item, with Ronald even bringing lunch for Kari every day!

Brittany, having heard about Ms. Patel's outburst, wasn't too pleased with the Patel family.

Ms. Patel's contract breach resulted in paying triple the penalty, which left the studio's coffers overflowing, much to Kari's delight.

Ronald took nearly half a month off before accepting an offer from a listed conglomerate, stepping into a high executive role.

Kari couldn't believe how quickly he'd landed the job. "You're really going?"

Now that Ronald had some downtime, why not take this opportunity to rest a bit?

Ronald was in the middle of preparing dinner, his slender fingers expertly peeling shrimp. "The offer was too good to pass up, complete with a generous salary and stock options. It's a great job."

The Malone family had always had a strong grip on Imperial City, and the Fortune Group had been eager to poach him for a while. With his ties to the Malone family cut, the olive branch they extended was too tempting to refuse.

After all, he couldn't exactly live off Kari forever.

Kari pouted. "So, you won't be able to bring me lunch anymore."

She had a craving for Ronald's cooking.

Ronald gently pinched her cheek. "I don't start until next week. I'll still be your lunch delivery guy until then."

Kari felt a twinge of regret. She'd entertained the idea of spoiling Ronald a little longer!
