Kris had a high standard for men. At that moment, she felt that not many men were worthy of her except for Tony.
However, it did not stop her from having fun with other men, but at the same time, she knew that those men could only provide her with temporary happiness as they weren’t her choice of marriage partner.
In the past, if this man were to openly hold her in his arms at the company, her face would have turned cold at the start. However, her heart today was filled with many grievances and rage. Furthermore, it so happened that Cameron and Rachel did not comfort her after the incident, but instead, they made her feelings worse, which was why the man’s actions felt a little warmer to her, especially the concern in his eyes for her without even asking a question…
“What else could it be? Other than Myra, who else would do this to me…” Her eyes started to turn red as tears rolled down her face.
Hayden felt distressed and angry at the same time as he tightened his arms around Kris. “How dare she hit you! Didn’t you say that you have a plan to kick her out of the Stark Group? How did you allow her to take advantage of you?” Seeing the slight change in Kris’ expression, he patted her back. “Alright. She must have used some despicable trick! Kris, don’t be upset. Myra is just a woman who was abandoned by Sean. Besides, your father doesn’t even like her and he hates her coming back to the Stark Group. One day, you’ll be able to kick her out of the company! My Kris is always the best!”
The man landed a soft kiss on her forehead as he gently comforted her.
Kris felt that among the men that she had dated before, it was not a surprise that she liked Hayden the most.
Since he was second in line to the Fuller Corporation, he had quite a good background. Even though he wasn’t the direct heir to the company, she still wished to hear more of his comforting words whenever she was in an angry mood.
Then, she turned and landed a kiss on Hayden’s thin lips as a reward.
Unexpectedly, the moment she landed her kiss, Hayden’s eyes immediately darkened as he pressed her against the back of the door. Then, he lowered his head and tried to suck all the sweetness from her lips vigorously.
His body was strong, but it wasn’t that muscular. As his burning hot body leaned on Kris, it quickly made her lose her mind a little. Suddenly, the thin lips were withdrawn, but soon after, it was back again and this time, it came with an object with a somewhat rough texture.
At first, Kris was startled as she took a look at the necklace Hayden gave her using his mouth. Instantly, her eyes lit up.
It was the True Love diamond that she liked a lot when she saw it at an auction in New York some time ago. At that time, she simply mentioned it to him, but because the price was too expensive and she didn’t have much time on her schedule, she ended up missing the auction. However, she didn’t expect him to buy it for her.
Kris’ face was filled with surprise and joy. “Hayden, didn’t you say that you are short of cash recently? Did your brother allow you to invest the funds in loose stocks? Where did you get the money to buy this…”
The light in Hayden’s eyes flickered inexplicably as he immediately carried her in her arms and walked toward the couch. “Baby, I can give up everything for you.”
Kris was familiar with the warmth in his eyes, but now that she was in a good mood and she just received a gift that she really liked, she did not mind to satisfy the man in front of her.
After that, Hayden was considerate enough to give her some birth control pills. He promised that he wouldn’t put her in a difficult situation by impregnating her before deciding to marry her.
In Kris’ heart, she felt a little pity. If only this man is Tony. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be upset and angry.
However, as soon as she thought of Tony, she couldn’t help but think of that woman—Myra!
Hayden is right. One day, I’ll kick her out of the Stark Group myself, but now, I must bear with it!
When Myra found out that Rachel was inviting her to the Stark Residence for a meal, she couldn’t help but feel ironic, especially when she realized that the person sent to invite her was Kris. Not only that, she even apologized to Myra herself even though there weren’t any emotions on her face.
However, Myra accepted their invitation this time.
She felt that Rachel wouldn’t be kind enough to invite her over for a meal, but since she did so, she wanted to see what other tricks the woman had for her. Other than that, she also wanted to confirm whether Rachel was really pregnant or not. Since I’m going to the Stark Residence tonight, I’ll probably not leave.
However, after thinking about it, Myra packed her stuff as she planned to go to the Hart Group to have lunch with the man.
