She kept arguing, "There are situations where a man is better suited to handle things."
I chuckled, "Am I not a man? Are there tasks your assistant can handle that I can't? Besides, do I have an assistant? Have I ever had private interactions with another woman? Have I ever been involved in any scandal?"
Kate was at a loss for words, unable to respond. Finally, she murmured in grievance, "You just want to control my life."
I let out a long sigh and finally threw her hand off mine.
Kate didn't chase after me again, but she did send a message: [Tonight, no matter how unreasonable your request, I'll agree to it, as long as you don't ask me to change my assistant.]
I stared at the screen in silence for a long time. It seemed she cared about this assistant very much.
In the past, her restraint wouldn't allow her to make requests beyond what she could accept. But for Kieran, she broke her own precedent.
I turned off the screen and focused on watching the newlyweds exchange rings on stage. When it came to the bouquet toss, the flowers happened to land in Kieran's hands.
To liven up the atmosphere, the host handed him the microphone, "Sir, is there anyone here you'd like to give these flowers to?"
