Kevin remarked, “But your sister is a human being too and will eventually get tired. You’ve been playing for so many years. Isn’t it time for you to shoulder some responsibilities?”
Hugh responded, “Brother Kevin, are you suggesting that my sister should step down?”
Kevin replied, “I’m not asking your sister to step down. I just want her to take a vacation and rest. Although we are lovers, we rarely spend time together, let alone go on vacation. Our relationship lacks the romantic experiences that make it special. If we plan to get married in the future, we’ll have fewer cherished memories to look back on, wouldn’t you agree?”
Hugh understood.
Kevin wanted him to manage the company so that his sister could take a well-deserved break.
That seemed reasonable enough.
He wasn’t incompetent.
According to Kevin, he had been accustomed to hiding in his sister’s shadow and enjoying a carefree life.
Hugh asked, “Brother Kevin, how long do you think she should rest?”
“Ideally, about ten days to two weeks, but a month would be better. However, I worry that if it’s too long, your sister might not agree. She’s used to being busy and may struggle with an extended break from work,” Kevin explained.
While Kevin wanted Hayden to rest, he also feared that too much downtime would leave her bored.
After all, Hayden was accustomed to a busy lifestyle.
Hugh said, “Let’s settle on two weeks. I’ll ensure she doesn’t have to handle any company matters during that time. No matter what happens, I’ll manage things so you two can enjoy your vacation without any interruptions.”
With Kevin holding the leverage, Hugh felt he had no choice.
After considering it, Kevin agreed, “Alright, two weeks it is.”
Hugh smiled once more. “Brother Kevin, could you please delete the recording?”
Kevin replied, “Will you still talk badly about me in the future?”
Hugh chuckled, “Brother Kevin, I—”
“I’ve told you, I’m just envious of you. Deep down, I know that no one is more suited for my sister than you, and she only loves you. I’ve been praising you to others. If you don’t believe me, feel free to ask around; I haven’t said anything negative about you.”
Kevin replied, “Are you trying to introduce the young talents in Jensburg to your sister?”
Hugh responded, “No introductions, none at all. They can’t compare to you. Brother Kevin, you are truly the best man in the world—absolutely the best.”
Kevin couldn’t help but laugh. If he hadn’t dealt with Hugh before, he might have thought Kevin was just a paper tiger.
How could he dare to challenge his relationship with Hayden?
Kevin said, “When your sister and I return from vacation, I’ll delete this recording; otherwise, you might regret it.”
Hugh quickly replied, “Brother Kevin, I’m very trustworthy and promise not to go back on my word. Just don’t send that recording to my parents; if they hear it, I’ll be in big trouble.”
Kevin said, “I know you can be trusted, but it’s wise to keep this evidence. Don’t worry, I won’t send the recording to Uncle and Auntie Queen for now. However, Hugh, you need to step up. If there’s a girl you like, let’s figure things out.
I’m not concerned about your ability to find a wife, but it saddens me to think about my fiancée being preoccupied with your situation.”
