Chapter 449: You Enjoy Working? After finishing the tasks at hand, Kelvin lightly raised his eyebrows and curved his lips, showing that he was in a good mood. When his assistant Chris cto inform him that Cheyenne was here to see him, a radiant smile broke through his handsand cold facade.
Kelvin quickly adjusted his tie, using his large hand to smooth out any wrinkles on his clothes. He deliberately glanced at the silhouette outside the window.
"How do I look in this outfit? Does the color seem too dull? Should I change my shirt?" He was wearing a black cotton shirt from Armani, accompanied by a black suit with a subtly luxurious texture. The tie was a bright red color with polka dots, adding a touch of vibrancy to the subdued attire. Chris stared in astonishment at the series of unusual actions by his boss, his jaw almost dropping. He struggled to respond with his stammering voice. Internally, he felt the urge to burst into laughter. "N-No... there's no need to change. Actually, it's already too late. Miss Lawrence is waiting near the office..." Before Chris could finish his sentence, Kelvin's voice turned icy as he began to scold. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Damn it, you let her stand outside the door waiting for me?" After his reprimand, Kelvin stood up and walked quickly towards the door from behind his seat. However, just as his large hand reached for the doorknob, he paused. He suddenly realized that his smile wasn't quite appropriate.
During that split second while opening the door, his expression returned to his usual aloofness. Yet, when he saw the woman standing in front of him, looking pitiful and disheveled like a wet little puppy, a worried expression involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Cheyenne, why did you...?" "It's raining outside, why didn't you bring an umbrella? You're completely drenched. Cin quickly!" His warm and solid hand suddenly grabbed her cold and delicate hand. Angrily, he pulled her into his office and made her sit on the couch.
Cheyenne had actually cby taxi, but she couldn't withstand the heavy rain. At the moment, her white lace nightgown, which she had worn before leaving, was wet and clinging to her body. Her chestnut, lustrous hair was like a waterfall, sticking to her pale and delicate face, shoulders, and back, giving her an enchanting appearance like a mesmerizing water nymph on a rainy night.

His cold gaze shifted towards Chris, who was still standing by the door, wearing a silly smile while watching the two people on the couch.
Resting his chin on his hand, Chris secretly thought, 'A match made in heaven, right? Watching them sitting together feels like watching a romantic .' Just then, Kelvin's dissatisfied voice rang in his ears, and the sharpness in his eyes made Chris' scalp tingle. "Aren't you leaving? Do you enjoy working here?" Chris almost choked on his saliva. He coughed a few times before responding, "Mr. Foley, are you... are you saying I can leave? Can I go now?" Originally, his plan was to work overttoday and earn back the two thousand dollars he had lost. Unexpectedly, his boss generously allowed him to leave early. 'Oh my goodness! Miss Lawrence is my lucky star.' Kelvin didn't bother responding to his foolish question. With a cold nod, he grabbed two cups and walked over to the automatic water dispenser.
Chris licked his lips and let out a suggestive chuckle.
He turned on his heel and walked towards the door, his voice echoing in the space and reaching Cheyenne's ears.
"I got it, I got it. I won't be a third wheel here anymore." He casually locked the door behind him.
On such a beautiful weekend, with no one else in the office, Miss Lawrence was drenched in water... two singles staying together. Summer, a scorching season.
Cheyenne saw his reaction and a mocking smile curled the corner of her vibrant red lips, unable to resist giving Kelvin a disdainful look.
"Seems like your man has a bit of a problem with his head. I suggest you both go see a neurologist. I can give you a discount for the two of you." Kelvin approached with two cups of warm water, placing one in front of her as he elegantly took the seat opposite her.
"Probably because he's been single for over thirty years." "Haha." Cheyenne, who was just about to take a sip of water, suddenly burst into laughter, unexpected that Kelvin had such a "humorous" side.
However, the man sitting across from her remained composed. Even though the water she accidentally sprayed on him stained his clothes, he still earnestly wiped it away with a handkerchief.
In a calm tone, he continued, "There's nothing to be surprised about. Chris enlisted at fifteen and served for ten years. In those years, he could never see a woman. After retiring, he becmy bodyguard and was promoted to be my assistant. It's been eight years in the blink of an eye." "You don't have to say that. I already know all of this. Mr. Richards is single all because of you. You're the one who's been flirting with women, while he's still single." She had secretly admired him for so many years, familiar with all his preferences, and also people around him.
She had thoroughly investigated everything.
Chris, as his right-hand man, was an indispensable presence.

Kelvin's eye twitched at her words, his eyes staring straight at her The sunlight outside fell perfectly into his deep brown eyes, accentuating his sharp nose.
Like a dividing line, it split his face into light and shadow, making his features more chiselled and firm, & giving him a sudden touch of masculine charm. "I have never flirted with women, not in the past, not now, and not in the future." He said it seriously, as if making a promise to her.
Cheyenne bit her rose-like red lip and changed the subject, "I chere to talk about something mportant, Kelvin. Have you seen a blue gemstone-encrusted diamond earring?" Earring? The man raised his thick, well-shaped eyebrows, not showing any emotion. The earring she mentioned was currently lying in his pocket.
He had intended to return it to her yesterday but forgot due to the Todd family's things.
Was this earring important? Important enough for Cheyenne to cto the company and look for it herself.
The Cheyenne he knew wasn't someone who cared about a mere earring. Even if it was worth a fortune, it was just a lifeless decoration in her eyes.
If it's lost, then it's lost. Unless, this earring meant something special to her!
