The security guards dared not confront Keira directly. They knew Victor would not tolerate them angering her, even if Keira did not report to him.

Thus, the security guards could only stand still and block Keira’s way until Carlisle Longhall, who worked in the president’s office, emerged from the elevator.

Carlisle came from a prestigious family in the capital. As the second child, he would not inherit the family business, so he had been working for Victor and was one of Victor’s most capable assistants. Of course, he was also staunchly opposing Keira alongside Otto.

The security guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Carlisle coming out of the elevator.

“Mr. Longhall, you’re finally here Colin wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead and smiled at Carlisle.

Carlisle nodded, unable to hide the disdain in his eyes when he looked at Keira. Still, he restrained himself, knowing Victor’s attitude concerning her. He approached Keira and said loudly, “Ms. Sunter, you can tell me if there is anything. Mr. Byrom is busy at the moment.”

“This person said that Victor is away. How is he now in the company?” Keira asked with mock humility.

Carlisle glanced at Keira indifferently. “What the president does is a trade secret. I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you too much. Let me know if you need anything. As the president’s assistant, I’ll do my best to help you.”

Keira sneered inwardly. His words seemed respectful enough, but there was nothing respectful about his tone.

“I’m his wife, and I want to see him. Can you help me with that, Mr. Longhall?” Keira maintained her smile. Her years of experience in the entertainment industry have taught her how to manage her facial expressions.

Carlisle’s expression darkened, and his voice turned colder. “Ms. Sunter, if you can’t support your husband’s career as his wife and only cause him trouble, then you are incompetent. Moreover, he is busy with important matters. I’m afraid he doesn’t have time to see you.”

“Whether Victor has time to see me is for him to decide. However, are you sure you have the power to stop me from entering?” Keira restrained her smile and looked at Carlisle sternly.

“Did Victor arrange for you to stop me at the door?” Her tone rose, and her entire demeanor changed significantly.

She admitted she had been terrible before and owed Victor a lot. But this was her matter with him. She had never wronged

others.

At home, she tolerated the servants and Mr. Cruz out of mutual respect. She knew they were concerned about Victor.

However, Carlisle accused her and caused her trouble before everyone. People would think she was a pushover if she did not fight back. Then, everyone would try to take advantage of her.

“If you truly care about Mr. Byrom, you shouldn’t come to cause trouble when he’s busy” Carlisle confronted Keira. He had long harbored hatred against her.

Krira’s expression darkened intimidatingly. She focused on Carlisle, glaring daggers at him. Her voice was low and threatening “Mr. Longhall, you have exceeded your authority. This is the Byrom Corporation and not your family’s company. As an assistant, you must convey my message to Victor. It’s not for you to decide whether he would see me

“Your” Carlisle was furious. His body instinctively moved forward, pointing his finger at her.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist.

Victor had rushed over in a gray coat and forcefully knocked Carlisle’s hand away. He seemed anxious as he looked at the displeased Keira

“Kay, why are you here! Why didn’t you inform me?” Victor’s hair was slightly disheveled from

Sering his auxious expression, Keira’s anger suddenly receded. She pursed her lips, and Sue quickly handed her several

“Here, I prepared lunch for you.” Keira took the lunchboxes and gave them to Victor. “Even if you’re busy, you should still have your meals on time:

Keira pouted, obviously displeased with what had happened. However, she noticed the board members following Victor downstairs and knew he was busy. Thus, she did not want to bother him with trivial matters. “Tll go home first. I cooked the food, so make sure to finish it

She turned around to leave, but Victor grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

“Stay and have lunch with me!” Victor uttered those words softly and with a hint of playfulness.

Keira instinctively turned her face away and asked reluctantly, “Aren’t you busy?”

She had planned to have lunch with Victor, but Carlisle’s criticism ruined her appetite.

“Even if I’m busy, we can still have thirty minutes for lunch. Victor firmly held Keira’s hand. His gaze never left her face for a second.

He announced loudly to the board members watching nearby. “The meeting is paused for thirty minutes. All of you can leave to have lunch.”

Then, he eagerly pulled Keira towards his office.

However, Carlisle could not stand what was happening and said, “Mr. Byrom!TM

He could not understand what was so special about Keira that Victor seemed enchanted whenever he looked at her. Now, he even halted the board meeting, which had never happened before.

“Carlisle, you’ve overstepped your authority, Victor reprimanded while holding Keira’s hand. Although the words were directed at Carlisle, his gaze swept over everyone.

Then, his deep voice resonated throughout the spacious hall, “Keira is my wife! No one is above her! This is your first and also the last warning. If it happens again, please leave Byrom Corporation.”

After saying that, Victor pulled Keira upstairs without looking back.

Once they entered the president’s private elevator, Keira turned to Victor and saw his gloomy expression. She could not help but chuckle. “I’m the one being targeted, but you look angrier than I am.”

“Are you daft? Why did you stand there and let them bully you?” Victor looked at Keira and embraced her tightly.

spill it

Keira held Victor’s arm nervously. “Hey, I brought some minestrone. Be careful not to spill

Victor firmly kissed her rosy lips before composing himself, “Did you make it? You can cook?”

Keira looked down and instinctively avoided Victor’s curious gaze.

But Victor lifted her by her waist, asking, “Kay, why are you avoiding me?”

“I have a chef’s certificate… Keira smiled, trying to appease him. I got it during college.”

In other words, she got it when she was with Joseph

Victor s eyes flashed with anger. At the same time, the elevator arrived at the top floor.

He wrapped his arm around her waist and dragged her into his office. Once inside, he pressed her firmly against the door before leaning down to kiss her.

off guard by the unexpected firm kiss, Keira worried about spilling the food she had been working on all morning She had to soothe her easily jealous husband.

She let him kiss her passionately until his frustration died down. Then, she leaned into his before teasing him. I have never cooked for him before. You’re just too jealous.”
