My Bossy CEO Husband

Karina leaned into Rosalynn’s shoulder, her gaze distant.

Then Barlow’s mischievous grin kept replaying in her mind.

“Hey, Karina,” Jack’s voice broke the silence.

“Are you done?” Karina straightened up, blinking away her thoughts.

“Yeah, here you go,” he said, handing her a piece of chocolate.

“What’s this for?” Karina asked, a hint of amusement in her voice.

“To boost your spirits,” Jack explained.

“You seem a little down.

”

“That obvious, huh?”

Jack reached out, tucking a stray hair behind her ear and giving her shoulders a gentle squeeze.

He admitted.

“You look sad.

”

Karina felt a strange pull towards his affectionate eyes.

Taking a step back, she blurted out, “Jack, do you have feelings for me?”

Karina’s question was blunt, startling Jack.

A flicker of discomfort crossed his face.

“Karina, I…”

His expression clearly showed he had feelings for her.

Carlow’s words suddenly played in her mind: “So, do you think that attracts men with mommy issues?”

Spot on, Karina thought.

“Karina, why can’t I have feelings for you?” Jack pleaded, his voice laced with desperation.

Karina replied, “First, I’ve decided not to date or marry ever.

Don’t waste your time on me.

Second, you’re a rising star.

I’ve invested heavily in your success.

Focus on your career now.

No dating, no distractions.

If you don’t listen, I’ll find someone new tomorrow and cut your resources.

”

She spoke calmly, but her words were stern and serious, not meant to simply scare him.

Jack paused, his head slowly drooping.

Dejection clouded his face.

“That’s quite harsh,” he mumbled.

Jack couldn’t pinpoint when it happened, but he had fallen for her.

He had planned to confess his feelings once he had achieved some success.

But she had preemptively shattered that possibility, nipping his feelings in the bud.
