"I don't know," Caroline told Sean. "Ask her when you're home." Sean didn't know what to say anymore. Caroline had no intention of helping him, it seemed. After he left, Nightshade said, "I don't intend to stay here and be the third wheel. Don't worry, though, I'm a man of my word." Kirk and Caroline stared at him in silence, dubious. The suspicion in their eyes said it all. It made Nightshade panic, and he said, "I told you, I won't break my promise. What's that look on your faces? I swear you two look the same with that expression." Caroline and Kirk froze. Nightshade clicked his tongue and added, "My, my! Your faces look identical even when your expressions change. Forget it! Staying here won't do me any good. I'll suffocate from all your lovey-doveyness if I stayed here any longer." "We—" Caroline wanted to retort, but her protest was briefly cut short by Nightshade's inquiry. "Right. My pay for being your bodyguard should be quite handsome, right?" The question wa

"Besides, it's been a long time since those two took orders." "Do you know where they come from?" Caroline asked. Caroline hadn't spoken a lot to him for some time, so even if Kirk didn't know much about the two assassins, he wanted to seize the chance to prolong their conversation. "No, I don't," he said. "But I've heard things about them." Caroline instantly caught that something was off and said, "You've heard of them before? I thought you never bothered to gossip." Kirk cleared his throat awkwardly. "They're legendary assassins, after all. Do you want to know more about them?" Caroline nodded. "Sure."Finally, Kirk's frown disappeared as the gears in his brain started working to come up with a story. He started, "It's said that these two assassins are husband and wife that were childhood sweethearts. They lived in poverty when they were young and resorted to stealing to make a living. "One day, they were caught, and the boy was beaten half to death."Later, they r

Caroline looked at Corrine strangely. "I just… That's not what I meant." Corrine froze when she realized that she'd overreacted. Then, she laughed it off and said, "Thank goodness. My superiors when I worked abroad were highly sensitive about their private affairs. They'd get annoyed if someone showed too much concern for them."She continued, "I'm sorry for overreacting. You can tell me straight away if I'm going overboard. There's no need to hide your discomfort from me." Caroline smiled. "No, I think it's fine this way. It makes me think that there are still thoughtful people in the world." Corrine secretly heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that Caroline wasn't taking things too seriously. She then smiled and walked out of the elevator. However, the moment Corrine left, Caroline stopped putting on a show. A grave look fell on her face as she headed to her office. She then took out the documents containing Corrine's information. After scanning it a couple of tim

Caroline couldn't focus on work the entire evening. When it was time to get off work, she dashed out of her office on time.The staff were surprised to see her leave so early. "Ms. Evans' getting off work so early today." "Yeah! Maybe she's going on a date." "A date? Isn't she married?" "Married? I think she's getting a divorce. Why haven't we seen her husband pick her up after so long, then?" "You're right. I remember it now. She sure seems rather odd these days. Maybe she's really getting a divorce. It's fine, though, since she's a big shot now. It'd be such a shame if her current boyfriend was just an ordinary staff in a random company.""Wouldn't it sound strange if our boss' husband was just an ordinary corporate slave?" Some people started frowning at the thought. But just as they were in the heat of the argument, they heard someone's voice come from behind them."There's nothing wrong with that. Sooner or later, Caroline will turn into an ordinary person just l

The chauffeur was so caught off guard that he was stupefied. Thankfully, Caroline hadn't lost her wits. She knew that the man on the roof was after her the moment their gazes met. She didn't think twice to open the door and leap out of the car. However, she wasn't quick enough because the man already had a cool grip around her neck before she managed to open the door wide enough to slip out. Pain shot through Caroline's neck, and she stared up at her assailant, who had reached down to cover her eyes with his other hand. "Don't look at me like that. I won't have it in me to kill someone as pretty as you if I continue looking at those eyes of yours," he said. "But the mission this time… It's—"He hadn't even finished his sentence, but Caroline felt something flow down onto her face and body. It was blood, and it was still warm. But it wasn't Caroline's. She wasn't feeling any pain at all. The next thing she knew, the man dropped dead beside her. Caroline quickly snapped
Bogus Billionaire Chapter 1285
Was Nightshade wrong? Wasn't he pointing out the truth? Kirk and Caroline were head over heels in love with each other and weren't shy to show affection for each other all the time. Once the two of them got into the car, Caroline asked, "Should I call Cheryl and tell her that we won't go to dinner with her this time?" Kirk checked the time and decided that they still had time to prepare. "There's still time to spare." "Really? But I need to freshen up—"The car came to an abrupt stop, and Caroline looked at Kirk in confusion. "What's wrong?" "We're here." Kirk clarified. Caroline then turned to look at the building behind them. She froze as a wave of memories came rushing back to her. This was where they'd lived back then. Caroline opened the car door and got out of the car. A sense of familiarity washed over her although she hadn't even reached the door. The memories the sight brought back to her overwhelmed her so much that it almost made her suffocate. There

Caroline's heart missed a beat. Somehow, she wasn't disgusted or annoyed at him for doing that. And to be honest, she was kind of looking forward to what could happen. Soon, she heard Kirk say, "Your hand's cold. You should take better care of yourself." Caroline was speechless.She then left the bathroom about five minutes after that. …Although the blush was gone from her cheeks, the tips of Caroline's ears were still a little red from blushing earlier. Caroline turned to look at Kirk in the driver's seat and found that he seemed calm and nonchalant like usual. It made her even more embarrassed at what had happened when she was in the bathroom just now. Perhaps Kirk had let things go a long time ago, and she was the one who still wallowed in the past. Her mind and heart were both still a mess when they arrived at the hotel. Aiden, Selena, and Cheryl were there already, and all three of them stood up to greet Caroline and Kirk when they entered the private room.

Selena had an awkward look as she said, "Oh dear! You got me wrong! I wanted Ms. Evans to help Cheryl in selecting possible candidates!" When Selena said, this Caroline turned just in time to see Kirk averting his gaze from her to continue chatting with Aiden. "We need to decide for ourselves when it comes to finding ourselves a partner," Caroline said. "You're right." Selena laughed. "But you're Cheryl's friend. I'm sure your perspectives are similar. Maybe one of the young men in these pictures might stand out to you two." Caroline looked at Cheryl. Her lips were pursed, and her mouth was sealed. It seemed like she wasn't planning to come clean about her relationship with Jack. After giving it some thought, Caroline took the pictures from Cheryl to give them a good look. As they waited for the food to be served, Caroline made up an excuse and brought Cheryl out of the room along with her. "Why didn't you tell them about Jack?" Caroline asked once they were out of ear
