After the incident with the concept drafts, Avery hadn't shown up again for a long time. Caroline and Kirk could finally travel peacefully and have a nice vacation.Seeing the date of their return getting closer, Caroline started to prepare some gifts. She gave Gwen a call. "Hey, Gwen. I'm going home soon. What do you want me to buy?"They were good friends, so giving gifts was easy. They simply gave each other what they needed most."I heard that a company over there has recently developed a new phone called Dragon. It's specially made for games. But they won't launch it in Easton until they get marketing feedback from Celona. Can you help me bring one back here?" Gwen liked playing games, so she couldn't resist getting a phone specially designed for it."Sure. Hang on, let me take a look …" Caroline searched online and soon found the description of this phone. Her heart stopped when she saw that it was manufactured by SY Group.SY Group was the largest company in Sarcozia. I
Bryan seemed a little foolish. Yet, since Avery had also acted like an innocent fool, Caroline couldn't let down her guard. But she still politely invited him into her home.After Bryan entered the apartment, he didn't really know what to do."It's okay. Sit wherever you want," Caroline assured."This place is so cozy. I can't believe Kirk is actually married."Caroline smiled, handing him a glass of water. "Why? Does he look like a bachelor?""No, Kirk has been a workaholic ever since he was in school. Nothing could get his attention other than work," Bryan said.Caroline asked, "He started working during school?"Bryan realized that he had said something wrong. He looked down with a blush and said, "Uh … Well, Kirk did a little … business when he was in school."What he really meant was that Kirk started managing a company at the age of 12 and made the company famous within a year.Many people didn't know that the SY Group had suddenly emerged as the largest company in Sarco
Bryan agreed without hesitation. They decided to go to the press conference together on the 19th.After seeing Bryan off, Caroline realized something. Not only could she get a phone for Gwen, but she could also meet Eddy's second uncle. Humming, Caroline walked into the kitchen and started preparing dinner. She didn't know what Kirk was up to these days. He would always leave in the afternoon and come home for dinner. But she'd never checked up on him since she trusted him completely.Kirk opened the door and walked in, just in time to see Caroline busy in the kitchen. His heart swelled in an instant, and he went to hug her from behind.Startled, Caroline turned around and saw Kirk. She said in surprise, "Why were you so quiet?""What are you making?" Kirk lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma of food wafted out."Tomato salsa." Caroline pushed Kirk away. "Get out of here. Don't mess up things here.'"Kirk stood at the door, motionless. He said cheekily, "I'll leave if you
When the press conference started, everyone was asked to turn off their phones. No one was allowed to take pictures.As Caroline turned her phone off, Bryan returned. He looked a lot better, but he was still nervous. "Are you really okay?" She took a bottle of painkillers from her bag and asked, "Do you want some medicine?"Bryan smiled bitterly and waved his hand. "I'm fine."Fortunately, the project manager for Dragon went on stage then, diverting Caroline's attention. Bryan finally had a chance to breathe. He wondered if Avery had warned Kirk yet.He was so uneasy that he didn't even listen to all the concepts that usually interested him.Meanwhile, Charles walked backstage and ordered, "The president is coming soon. You have to handle the security work properly. Got it?"Everyone backstage stopped what they were doing and nodded in unison. These people were all Charles' experienced subordinates. Charles had no doubts about their abilities.Charles walked away, then turned
Caroline knocked on the door before opening it. The people who were busying themselves behind the counter all looked at her in unison.Caroline mustered her courage and asked, "May I know where the president of SY Group is?"The people exchanged looks with each other.After a moment, one of the employees came up to Caroline. "May I ask if you're Ms. Caroline Evans?"Caroline asked, "You know who I am?" She didn't recognize the person before her at all."The president asked me to pass this to you." The employee took out three exquisitely decorated phone boxes and gave them to Caroline. "He also congratulated you on your new marriage.""He knows what I look like?" Caroline was surprised at getting such attention.The employee didn't know what Caroline meant by this and only gave her a small smile.Her heart pounding wildly, Caroline accepted the gift bagIn the car, Kirk was watching the surveillance footage. At some point, a dark look passed over his eyes.Even Charles could s
Gwen sobbed. "Carol, I love you to death! When are you getting back? I'm going to treat you to a huge meal.""Soon. I'll be going home in a few days.""Doesn't that mean I'll get the phone very soon? Wow, I'll be the third person in the country to get a Dragon. Just thinking about it is exciting. When the time comes, I'll take my phone out every day at work. They'll all be jealous to bits when they see it!"Caroline smiled as she put Gwen's phone back in its box."Carol, did you get gifts for your new colleagues?"Caroline was just about to answer when Kirk opened the door and came in.Caroline greeted Kirk and continued chatting with Gwen. "I haven't decided yet. I asked about it yesterday and found out that most of the staff at the design department are women. I think I should probably buy makeup?"Kirk looked at Caroline, who was so invested in chatting with Gwen. It only annoyed him more.He walked to the coffee table and purposely made some noise.But Caroline didn't ev
Caroline waited in her room for a long time, but Kirk didn't come and try to explain himself. She felt wronged and pressed her lips together. She badly wanted to beat Kirk up.Right then, she received a message."Hello, Ms. Evans. This is the phone department of SY Group. We have a giveaway for a lucky attendee of the press conference. To thank you for your support of Dragon, we will gift you 50 Dragon phones."Caroline was speechless.There were a total of 42 members in the design department.Since SY Group had given her 50 phones in one go, she could definitely give the phones to her subordinates. Caroline wanted to thank Eddy's second uncle. But then she thought of what Kirk had said, and her excitement died down instantly.Forget it.It was better to buy him a meal when she had the chance to.She had to take Kirk along too. She would let him know that she didn't have any intentions regarding Eddy's second uncle!Besides, she'd already said that she didn't want to be invo
After he said that, Kirk went up to the second floor.Lia couldn't help but smile when she saw Kirk go into Avery's room. She turned to Adam. "Look, wasn't I right? Kirk is interested in Avery. He just never realized it before."Adam folded his newspaper. "It's a shame that Kirk is already married. Anyone would want a great son-in-law like him."Lia pouted. "So what if he's married? Divorce rates are so high. Lots of people get married and then divorce. Besides, that woman isn't worthy of Kirk. She has no background and no education. All she has is her face. But what use is that? Kirk will get bored of it soon."As a man, Adam could agree with that. "If you say that, then our Avery has a chance."However, the atmosphere between Kirk and Avery on the second floor could be considered anything but friendly. It was tense, even. "You were looking for me?" Avery was a little mad.Kirk sat at the computer table and crossed his legs. He looked at Avery blandly. "Do you admit it?""Wha
