Chapter 188 Unexpected Outcomes
When Eric started looking ticked off, Miles instantly toned it down, stepping back awkwardly before saying, “Hey, just joking, no offense intended.”
Kate suppressed a smile as she walked up to Miles, saying sincerely, “Really, I’ve got to thank you, Miles. Without you stepping in when you did, I’d still be in the spotlight for all the wrong
reasons.”
She truly appreciated Miles.
But after their last call, Miles had just disappeared. He wasn’t at the Davison Group, and no one could reach him at the Lowe Group either. It was like he’d poofed into thin air, which worried Kate.
Miles, trying to be chivalrous, said, “Look, you’re my muse and Eric’s wife. It’s on me to prote women from trouble. This mess? It’s my doing, and I can’t drag you into it.”
Miles was standing firm.
He understood what was at stake with Kate entering that international design contest. Thanks to his help, she’d skipped straight to the finals, catching everyone’s eye. But then, when that clash with Ruth over some design drafts turned into a plagiarism scandal, Miles knew his enemies. would jump at the chance to take him down.
A strike against Kate was a strike against him.
From where Miles stood, both the Davison Group and Kate had taken hits because of his moves.
Kate looked at Miles, feeling a whirlwind of things, and asked, “Thanks for that, but aren’t you worried about what your announcement might do to your company?”
Miles, with a flick of his head, confidently said, “Of course! There’s a mess waiting for me at the
office.”
Settling into a chair and crossing his legs, he said, “While I was away, some punks thought they could cause chaos on my
turf.”
“In Maridonia, coming out is no big deal. The overreaction in Haldoria and internationally was way over the top. Some folks want to stir the pot.”
“So, when I get back, Kyle and I have a few people to straighten out.”
Miles wrapped up with a proud tone, “And that MC guy, since their leader wasn’t there, we only ended up causing some damage to stuff. No one got hurt.”
This left Kate speechless.
