"Kevin, do you think that I came to the company to replace you because I was worried that you would fool around with other women?" Kevin didn't need to answer her but Karen could already guess his answers judging from his expression.

His expression looked like he was saying, "Wasn't that what it was?" Karen was so mad that she wanted to throw a punch at him!

How could there be such a stupid man?

No!

How could there be such a narcissistic man?

Did he think that he was the most handsome man in the world and that everyone, or specifically, women, revolved around him?

She really wanted to tell him that was not it!

But, there seemed to be some truth in that sentence.

This man was really attractive. Even if he acted as cold as a block of ice, there were still women who wanted to flirt with him.

She looked at him attentively, and the more she looked at him, the more attractive she thought he was. However, he was also adept at pissing others off.

Forget it!

As she knew that he was terrible at expressing himself, she didn't want to argue with him. She took a deep breath and restrained herself so that she wouldn't get any madder at Kevin. Thump! Thump!

There was a knock on the door. Kevin hadn't even said anything but the person had the guts to just enter the room immediately.

Of course, besides Karen Joy, no one else would have the guts to do that.

Seeing that her mother was also in the office, Karen Joy was stunned and immediately stepped back out. "Dad, Mom, please continue with your romantic date. Please pretend that I'm not here." "Why are you running away? I'm not here to see your Dad. I'm here to see how you are doing." Fortunately, Karen Joy was here. Otherwise, Karen felt that she would definitely have beaten Kevin up. "Mom, that was a fake Karen Joy. Just pretend you didn't see anyone!" Regardless of her mother's effort in asking her to stay, Karen Joy turned around and left the office. Just as she was about to close the door, she popped her head back in and said, "Dad, I have a date in the afternoon, I'm here to let you know that I want to take a half-day off. I hope that's okay."

"If I say no, would you not go on the date?" Kevin's daughter was never a person who would abandon her boyfriend just for her father's sake.

"Dad, are you really not going to let me go?" Karen Joy blinked innocently and looked at her mother, who was next to Kevin. Her eyes looked teary suddenly.

She acted like she was very pitiful. There was no need for her to say anything else, as she only needed one look from her mother that could help persuade her father.

However, she noticed something was off today. Karen Joy felt that her mother was mad at Kevin, but Kevin didn't realize it yet.

Sure enough, although her mother was mad at Kevin, she still helped Karen Joy. With a glance, her father nodded and let Karen Joy off.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad! I love you guys!" Karen Joy ran off quickly without looking back after seeing her father's nod.

The faster Karen Joy ran, the more unhappy Kevin was with the man who had seduced his daughter's soul. He worked so hard to raise his daughter for more than ten years, how could he let someone else take her away so easily?

Kevin turned around to look at Karen, trying to seek some comfort from her, but Karen gave him a cold look and just left the office without saying a word. This left Kevin clueless.

He was wondering if he said something wrong and made Karen angry.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out and his mood turned gloomy too.

Hence, during the meeting, Director Kevin displayed a long face throughout the session. Everyone else in the office felt like they were walking on eggshells during the entire afternoon.

After getting the green light to take the rest of the day off, Karen Joy quickly changed out of her work clothes and donned a long black-and-white polka-dot dress.

She had a slim and tall physique, her long dress perfectly accentuated her curves. It made her look very gentle and ladylike, instead of a tough career woman.

She walked out of the Rovio Tower and attracted the attention of many passers-by along the way. Of course, this had been a norm since she was a child. She had been used to attention, so she didn't care about the looks from these people.

However, the man who had been waiting for her outside the building for a long time did not share the same sentiments. As he noticed that many people were looking at Karen Joy, he really wanted to just dig their eyes out.

He took a few steps and came to her side. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. He tried to indirectly indicate that this woman belonged with him and that no one else stood a chance.

He hugged her so tightly that she was almost out of breath. She tried to break out of his arms and said, "Mr. Collins, have I kept you waiting for long?"

He must have been waiting for her for some time now because he would only hug her so tightly when he was impatient. He hugged her so tightly that she was almost fused with his body! Instead of responding to her, he led her into his car and looked into her eyes. "Don't dress like this anymore."

"Ah, do I not look good?" Two days ago, she deliberately put on this dress for her Little Aunt to see. After Mia looked at her, Mia kept praising her, which made Karen Joy feel almost embarrassed from the praise. Was Brother Lionel's taste different from her Little Aunt's?

"It's not that!" She was just too beautiful that he wanted to eat her up. He wondered if those passers-by who saw her had the same idea as he did.

"Brother Lionel, then, do I look good?" Brother Lionel nodded subtly, and Karen Joy was very happy. She leaned forward, kissed him on his lips, and then sat back quickly. "Brother Lionel, you are my only lover in my life, so don't be jealous, okay?"

Her Brother Lionel used to be the most powerful person in Country A. Now, he was jealous, like a young lad. She couldn't deny that she felt a little flattered by this.

"What's wrong with being jealous?" Nathaniel held her in his arms and lowered his head to nibble on her playfully. "To fulfill this important date, I canceled all my work appointments today. All I want is to be with you alone, so am I not allowed to be jealous?"

As soon as she heard that he had to put his work aside for her, Karen Joy was anxious. "Brother Lionel, did you really put work aside for me? No, your company has just had a firm foothold in Chatterton Town, you can't ruin it because of me."

Nathaniel pinched her nose and said, "Karen, even though Helix Inc has not achieved results as outstanding as Rovio's, this doesn't mean that I need to be in the office every day." Karen Joy scratched her head clumsily and said, "I'm just worried about you."

"Don't worry." Nathaniel held her head close and lowered his head to kiss her. She blushed immediately, and he slowly let go of her after some time. He pinched her slightly swollen red lips and asked her, "Karen, do you like it?"

"Yeah." She nodded and gently snuggled into his arms. "Brother Lionel, I never imagined that we could have a date like an ordinary couple one day."

He really sacrificed too much for her. She was grateful forthat.

However, she did not know that as long as she was with him, power, status, and money were worthless to him.
