My Bossy CEO Husband -
Chapter 1939
Hyatt took a quick look at Carlow in the rearview mirror before responding.
“Yeah, Carlow’s got his act together, so I figured we’d keep the partnership going.
”
From the back seat, Carlow said to Karina, “Looking forward to more of your support, boss lady.
”
He called her “boss lady”.
The word sent a chill down Karina’s spine.
Though she often played the role of the boss lady, it wasn’t common for people to call her that.
The way this man said it, especially with that playful undertone, it almost felt like Barlow was poking fun at her.
Karina sat up straighter, quickly saying, “Don’t call me ‘boss lady’.
I don’t quite like it.
”
Carlow just raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eye.
“Sure thing, Karina.
”
His tone was way too personal.
Karina shot him a glare, visibly annoyed.
Yet, Carlow was still smiling at her.
Feeling his eyes on her made her heart beat a bit faster.
In the soft light of the night, his stare felt too intense, too familiar.
Karina swiftly turned to look out the window, scooting away to create some space between them, showing she was done interacting.
Carlow caught her slight movement, the amusement in his gaze growing.
The car merged onto the freeway, cruising silently down the open road.
Karina felt the weariness creeping over her.
She stifled a yawn as she leaned against the window, succumbing to a quick nap.
Attentive to her every move, Carlow promptly covered her with his coat once she dozed off.
He couldn’t resist the urge to gently caress her face, captivated by her striking profile.
Meanwhile, Hyatt focused on the road ahead, his ears attuned to the sounds emanating from the backseat.
After a prolonged silence, he stole a glance in the rearview mirror.
Suddenly, a car up ahead slammed on its brakes, catching Hyatt off-guard.
He hastily pressed down on the brakes, causing the two in the back to jolt forward.
Carlow’s expression tightened, his hand freezing mid-air before instinctively shielding Karina’s forehead to prevent her from hitting the seat in front.
Relieved to see she was still asleep, Carlow let out a sigh of relief.
