Caroline glanced at the documents Corrine was carrying.Only then did Corrine realize that Caroline had asked her a question. She quickly explained, "No, today's just the handover, so I don't have much work. But since I've joined the Evans Group, I have to know more about the company. So, I asked the heads of the other departments for some documents like the reports from the previous quarters.""I see." Caroline looked away. "We don't encourage working overtime. Since you're done with your work, you should go home. As for the company's situation, you'll gradually understand it after working here for a while.""Okay." After Corrine said that, she kept looking at Caroline.Caroline felt strange being looked at like that. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?""No, I just think you're a wonderful person, Ms. Evans.""Wonderful?""Yeah. When I came in for work, everyone spoke very highly of you when they mentioned you. Honestly, this is my first time seeing a boss like you
"Here's the thing. I still haven't keyed in a bunch of medical records. Can you do it for me?"Caroline glanced at the huge stack of medical records and agreed without hesitation. "Okay.""I'm going to make the rounds," Jared said goodbye to Caroline before leaving the room with his card.As soon as Jared left, the room fell silent.Caroline looked at the pile of documents in resignation and began to help Jared key in the records. However, just as she was about to type the data in, the computer shut down.Caroline pressed the power button several times, but the computer wouldn't boot up. She then realized there wasn't a problem with the computer. It was a blackout.Caroline was speechless. A power outage in a hospital was a big deal, so there had to be a generator somewhere. She just needed to stay put and wait until the power was back.Meanwhile, at that moment, Jared was hiding in the corridor. When he saw that his office was silent, he and Charles looked at each other.
As soon as Charles turned around, he saw Caroline holding a cup. "Ah, a ghost!" he shrieked.And as soon as he did, Kirk hurried over from the room next door. However, he froze at what he saw. Caroline was desperately trying to grab a ghost's hair. Wait, but there were no such things as ghosts. It was a woman, and the woman backed away in pain.Everything became a mess in an instant.At that moment, the dark corridor lit up, exposing the face of the ghost.When Caroline saw that Charles was the ghost, she was stunned, and Kirk was also confused."What are you doing here?" Caroline picked up Charles' wig in confusion. Then, she turned to look at Kirk and immediately understood what was going on."I get it now. You're pretending to be a ghost so that a certain someone can come to my rescue." After saying that, Caroline turned to look at Kirk. "Kirk Morrison, I never knew you had this much time in your hands!"After being scolded for no reason, Kirk held back his anger. "I do
Charles looked at Kirk's disappointed expression. Even though Kirk didn't reprimand him, he felt more uncomfortable than if he did reprimand him.When Kirk disappeared around the corner, Charles turned around and questioned Jared, "Why didn't you speak up for Mr. Kirk?""You saw what happened just now. She wouldn't believe me if I told her this was my idea. On the contrary, she'd think I was on your side and wouldn't believe me anymore. "When she's out late again, and Mr. Kirk gets worried, there'd be no one else you can ask to contact her because he can't do it himself."Jared's reasonable argument convinced Charles."Then, what do we do now? Madam seemed furious, and Sir definitely wouldn't explain the situation to her. After all, she wouldn't believe him even if he did. I shouldn't have done this in the first place." Charles sighed.After a moment, Jared said, "Things have already happened, so there's no point dwelling on it. We'll take things as they come. Besides, can't y
Caroline was silent.After her conversation with Dan ended abruptly, her attention was back on Kirk.And just like that, that night was another sleepless night for Caroline. She tossed and turned, but she still couldn't fall asleep.When she woke up the next day, she bumped into Charles at the door.Charles looked at her and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything for some reason.A second later, Caroline knew the reason behind his silence—Kirk was behind him. And when he saw her, he walked away without even looking at her.Caroline felt annoyed. Kirk was clearly in the wrong, but he was acting as if she was. At the thought of this, Caroline became angry and stormed away. However, she walked in the opposite direction to Kirk.She still hadn't calmed down when she arrived at the company, so she was still a little angry when Gwen called her."What's wrong? Who was bold enough to piss you off, Carol?"Caroline barked, "Kirk, of course! Who else would it be?"Gwen
Dan's text wrote, "We can meet, but I'll choose the time and place."Caroline remained silent. She wasn't in a hurry to reply to Dan. Besides, there was no way she would let Dan decide on the time and place for them to meet.After finishing her work in the afternoon, Caroline went to see Sonia at the time and place they'd agreed on.Sonia had picked a five-star hotel to dine in. It had excellent security, so she didn't need to worry about being photographed.When Caroline entered the room, Sonia warmly greeted and hugged her. "Long time no see, Caroline. I've missed you so much."Caroline felt a warmth in her chest and hugged Sonia back. "I've missed you too. How are things during filming?""It's fine. Everyone in the crew takes good care of me."Everyone knew Sonia had the Evans Group backing her up, so everyone else treated her respectfully. The only exception was the people in Morrison Corp, who still had the gall to mess with her.After all, everyone else vividly remembered
And so, they ordered their food. While waiting for the food to arrive, Sonia mentioned Cheryl, "It's a pity that Cheryl can't be here. If she was here, the four of us would be reunited."Caroline and Gwen fell silent.After a moment, Gwen said, "Although Cheryl can't be here, we can still make a video call. Cheryl may be at the Hacketts' residence, but Mr. and Mrs. Hackett Senior can't always keep an eye on her and stop her from talking with us, right?"Caroline and Sonia agreed to Gwen's suggestion. However, when they made the call, Cheryl didn't answer.Gwen called Cheryl several times, but she still didn't answer. They weren't aware that she was currently facing the Hackett family's accusations in the family chapel.…Although it was already night, the family chapel was still bright.All the lights in the chapel were on, and the entrance was full of people. Everyone had a stern expression on their face, and they were all silent, as if they were one with the silence.Ch
That was worse than plagiarism.However, their game company data was confidential, and every employee had signed a non-disclosure agreement. They'd even checked everyone's computers, emails, and phones, but they couldn't find proof of anyone betraying the company.Just as they were wondering who the culprit was, they received an anonymous letter saying Cheryl was behind it and the evidence was in her room. Hence, they wanted to hit Cheryl as soon as they barged into her home. Some wanted to hit her because she ruined the game they had worked so hard to make, while some wanted to take advantage of the situation to vent their grudges. After listening to what they had to say, Aiden found their words ridiculous. Cheryl had been at home these days. And besides, she barely knew these people, so why would she steal their data? Moreover, how could she have pulled it off?But the people wouldn't listen. Then, some of them broke into Cheryl's room and found a flash drive in her bag.
