Chapter 7 I get Jealous

Walking out of the restaurant, Karen looked around guiltily. She was relieved after looking around and did not see anyone she knew.

She had just eaten lunch with her husband, and now she was worried that others would see her. When she thought about it, she felt that it seemed ridiculous.

Karen sighed helplessly. If she had known that Kevin would become the new boss of Innovative Tech, would she have married him so quickly?

Karen could not think of an answer, so she didn't want to think too much about it.

Back at the office, she received a notice from the department manager. He had requested several colleagues who were in charge of Star Glow Corporation's bid to begin preparations. The boss would like to see a brief of this project in the afternoon.

Star Glow was a game-developing company and also a subsidiary of Gook Corp, a famous conglomerate.

Gook Corp was one of the largest businesses in the country. Even if they wanted to work with them, it was not easy to win a tender among dozens of bidding companies.

Star Glow's bid was the focus of Innovative Tech this year. Kevin had just taken up the position as head of the company, so it was natural that he paid more attention to the progress of this project. However, Karen felt a little uncomfortable about this.

Kevin's words had been disturbed at noon, and now she had to work on a project with him in the afternoon. She was worried that her work would be affected by his presence.

Karen and her colleagues arrived at the meeting room in advance. They had also prepared all the necessary materials, but they still worried about it.

"Karen..." May whispered in Karen's ear, "Everybody knows what you are capable of. Don't worry too much!"

Karen smiled but said nothing.

May was also one of the project team members, but she was a sweet-talking girl who hated hard work. Therefore, Karen was always tasked with many things, and May was always only assigned to help her.

William Baker, another colleague, leaned closer to Karen and said, "Karen, you led this project, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Karen said, "Still, it is always good to be cautious."

Karen was the head of the project team. Her responsibility was the biggest. Of course, she would be more worried than others.

Moreover, this project was the first project that Karen had taken on after Kevin began his term as their boss. In addition to achieving her goals at work, she also wanted to impress her husband. In the future, she would be living with Kevin, and she did not want to be underestimated by him.

"Director Kevin..."

Someone exclaimed suddenly, and everyone immediately looked at the door of the conference room, including Karen.

She looked up and saw Kevin walking in gracefully with two assistants by his side.

During lunch, Kevin had been wearing casual clothes. Now, he had changed into a custom-made silver suit with a white shirt and had also put on a blue-and-white striped tie, which made him emanate an air of coolness.

"Good afternoon, Director Kevin!"

Everyone stood up and greeted Kevin.

"Please sit down," Kevin said lightly and sat down on the main seat. Then he motioned for Nick to start the meeting.

Kevin was no longer looking at Karen, so she felt relieved.

In fact, since yesterday, he had practiced the separation of work and personal life much better than she did.

As the head of the project, she began to present the details of the project.

As a hardworking person, much of the preparation was done personally by Karen. Hence, when she presented the analysis to the group of executives, including the boss, she was not nervous at all.

She was not only calm, but her performance was outstanding.

At the end of her presentation, Karen received a round of applause.

Just as she bowed slightly to thank them, she felt a pair of suspicious eyes looking at her. She looked up and met Kevin's unfathomable eyes.

Seeing Karen meet his eyes, Kevin smiled at her. His polite smile was impeccable. It was pure politeness, and without personal feelings.

Karen immediately returned his polite smile.

Being a new boss, Kevin had a cool look on his face. He looked like someone who was not from this world, giving people a feeling of distance. Everyone felt a little nervous around him.

Fortunately, Karen was fully prepared for the meeting. Kevin also agreed that the group's work was commendable.

When the meeting ended, the team members were very excited and had forgotten about the executives around them for a moment. They chattered as they walked.

William put one hand on Karen's shoulder and said, "Karen, if we win the Star Glow project this time, it would be glorious!"

Karen was also happy about this. For a moment, she did not notice how close William had moved towards her. She smiled and nodded, "As long as we work together, we can achieve anything."

"Karen!"

Suddenly, Kevin's low voice came from behind, and she stiffened immediately. She turned back and politely asked, "Director Kevin, are you looking for me?"

"Karen, you are the head of the Star Glow project team. Director Kevin still has some details to ask you about." It was not Kevin who spoke this time, but Amelia Gray, who was following her, had spoken.

Amelia had worked under Kevin for many years, so she knew exactly what he was thinking.

The boss was looking for Karen to understand more about the project, and the other team members were also smart enough to find an excuse to slip away and leave Karen alone with him.

Kevin approached her, "Karen..."

Karen subconsciously took two steps back to keep a distance from him. "Director Kevin, can I help you with something?"

Kevin approached her again. "Right now, I am only Kevin, your husband."

Karen retreated further and looked around. "Director Kevin, we are still at work."

Hearing her words, Kevin frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes under his gold-rimmed glasses. He was a little angry.

However, he had been brought up not to throw his temper easily.

After a while, he said solemnly, "Karen, although I know that you have nothing to do with that man, I was still jealous when I saw him holding you so closely."

Karen obviously did not expect that he would say such a thing. For a moment, her face was hot and red. Finally, she pressed her lips together and smiled, "Director Kevin, don't worry. It will never happen again."

"Director Kevin?" Kevin narrowed his eyes again. He was really angry now.

"Director Kevin, you must be busy. I'll leave first." Karen did not know that she had angered him, so she turned around and left.

Kevin watched her enter the elevator, and his cold eyes grew even colder.

"Director Kevin, there are still a few documents for you to view." Amelia reminded him timely.

Kevin walked to his office and said coldly, "Must all of you women act so strong?"
