"So what if you are married? I can be your secret lover." Kaylie blushed and looked down at her toes.
Tom was dumbfounded by her words. "You, you, what did you say?!"
Kaylie was also shocked by her own words. Her face was burning red. She quickly shook her head and said, "Nothing, nothing, it's just a joke."
Tom was overwhelmed and said angrily, "Do you think you're still a child? You are more than twenty years old. Don't you know what to say and what not to say? If your parents hear you, they will be pissed."
Kaylie didn't take it seriously and muttered in a low voice, "Like hell they would. They all want me to throw myself into your arms as soon as possible."
She said this in a low voice. Just as Elsa and the others caught up, Tom did not hear her and asked doubtfully, "What did you just say?"
Kaylie shook her head and said, "Nothing."
She didn't lie. Ever since the Knights found out that Tom was the chairman of ZQ Inc and the Young Master of Master Chou that night, the whole of the Knights had been thinking that Kaylie should hook up with Tom, even if they knew that Tom had married.
They just couldn't help it. Tom's status was too high. If the Knights could get acquainted with Tom, then the Knights would be prosperous directly.
At this moment, Elsa and the others followed up and stopped a few meters away, not daring to move forward. Their faces were full of fear, awe, excitement, and admiration.
In their eyes, Tom was a high and mighty God, someone that could only be looked up to. They wanted to curry favor but did not dare to. They were afraid that Tom would be angry and get themselves into trouble.
Kaylie waved at them and said, "Elsa, why are you standing there? Come here."
Only then did Elsa dare to come over. Even so, she was still very uneasy. She tiptoed and walked with unprecedented caution, afraid that she would provoke Tom with one wrong move.
"Kaylie, I'm sorry about what happened just now. I didn't know your boyfriend was the chairman. I'm really sorry. Can you forgive me?" Elsa said nervously. She stole a glance at Tom and immediately retracted her gaze. She looked very timid and afraid.
The others were the same, making Tom quite helpless. Did he look that scary?
Kaylie waved her hand and said indifferently, "Look at you, so scared. Don't be so nervous. We're good friends. It's not your fault today. You didn't mean it. The only hateful person is that guy Tristan. Now he had already got his punishment."
Elsa relaxed a little. Immediately, she looked at Tom anxiously and said with great humility, "Chairman, I didn't mean to offend you just now... I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."
Tom waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not that petty."
Then, Tom said to the few people who didn't dare to come over, "Relax. I can tell right from wrong. What happened just now had nothing to do with you. I won't make things difficult for you."
Only then did they slowly relax and look at each other, then try to walk over and observe Tom closely.
Tom laughed in his heart when he saw how scared they were. Did he look that scary?
It was getting late at this point, and Tom showed a little impatience. They didn't dare to stay any longer, so they all wisely found some excuses to leave.
"It's getting late. You should go back and rest too." The two of them were left alone, and Tom said to Kaylie.
"It's only ten o'clock. It's still early. Why don't you come over to my house?" Kaylie blinked and said.
