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
The return trip was scheduled for two days later. Ivan and the Mendeley family went to see Kirk and Caroline off. Only Ivan and Bryan were sincerely saddened by their departure. Adam and Lia had only shown up because they were family friends."Caroline." Bryan pulled her aside. "Avery has a gift for you, but she wanted me to give it to you in private. I'm not supposed to let Kirk know about it."Caroline had noticed Avery's absence, but she'd chosen not to question it. Now that Bryan brought up the topic, she couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't she give it to me herself?"Bryan scratched his head. "I asked. She said she couldn't show up in front of you. I don't know what that means. Anyway …"He handed Caroline an exquisite gift. "I've completed my mission."Caroline weighed the gift in her hands. It was rather heavy. She wondered what was inside, but she believed it wouldn't be anything good."Caroline." Bryan was blushing. "When will you be back again?"She replied, "I don'
When Kirk went upstairs, he saw no one in the master bedroom. Pinching his forehead, he realized that making it up to Caroline would be tough this time.The next day, Gwen rushed to the villa during her lunch break."I thought you went home to your family when you shared the address." Gwen stared at the massive villa in disbelief. "Did Kirk buy this place for real?""Why would I lie to you?" Caroline led Gwen upstairs."I was worried that you might have spent a fortune on him because you fell for his body and his looks. But …" Gwen tutted. "Think about it—if a perfect guy like Kirk was willing to trade his body for money, you'd become upper class in no time!"Kirk's perfect body flashed across Caroline's mind, causing her to blush."You talk a lot of nonsense nowadays." She pushed Gwen to the guest room and said, "I'll get you the phone."Gwen noticed that there was only a new pillow on the bed. She gasped, "Do you sleep in separate rooms?"Caroline showed her the phone. "Do
The morning sunlight scattered across the land and cast a golden glow on Kirk and Caroline through the door and windows. They looked like they were in a lovely oil painting.After a while, Kirk stopped in his tracks and smiled. Then, he entered his bedroom with her in his arms. She recovered from the shock and kicked hard to protest. "Kirk, stop fooling around! I need to go to work!"He took her into the bathroom. "I know. You probably wouldn't want to go to work looking like this, would you?"As he spoke, they reached the mirror. She saw her blushing face and the sultry look in her eyes. Embarrassed, she wanted to dig a hole to hide.He grinned and placed her in the bathtub. "Take a bath."She was reluctant to listen to him, but she had to take a bath to wash away the desire and lust. When she emerged from the bathroom, she changed into a black suit.He narrowed his eyes at her new look. She stayed a distance from him and announced, "I'm heading to work."Then, she quickly we
Vivian clenched her fists. After a moment, she sashayed out of the office.Susan hurriedly followed behind her.Once they left, Cheryl couldn't help but look at Caroline. Her eyes were shining. "Ms. Evans, you're amazing!"Cheryl had only started working here two days ago. Since she was a newbie, Susan had frequently bullied her. Yesterday, Cheryl had heard the older staff say that Caroline was an inexperienced person. They had also said that Caroline had only gotten the position of Design Director due to her connections with the Morrison family. Apparently, Vivian would certainly give Caroline lots of trouble too.Cheryl had felt hopeless thinking about her superior being bullied. When she had come to work today, she'd planned to resign in a few days if things didn't work out.Who would have thought Caroline was so unrelenting?She was also completely different from what the others had said. Caroline didn't seem like someone who didn't have working experience.Caroline smil
The person who spoke saw that Vivian had come over and happily walked over to her, acting like a proud puppy. "Viv, Caroline bought us fake Dragons to get on our good side. What a joke!"Vivian had heard about this Dragon thing too. Many people around her wanted to get one, but they weren't available locally. Even overseas, one had to make a pre-order.She huffed softly. "Only those who don't work hard rely on such tricks."After she said that, Caroline's office door slowly swung open.Caroline saw that the phones hadn't been given out and asked Cheryl, "What's wrong? Does nobody want them?"Cheryl was so angry that she started crying. As she sobbed, she said, "Ms. Evans, they all said that these phones are fake!"All of these people were just too mean to Caroline. Caroline frowned. She looked over at Vivian and guessed what had happened. She gave a light laugh. "These are gifts. If they don't want them, I'll take them back."Seeing how calm Caroline was, Cheryl found her own
The results loaded quickly, revealing the phone to be genuine.When Vivian saw this, her face turned pale.Everyone else was shocked too. They suddenly felt like they'd suffered a loss.This phone was being sold for three thousand dollars for pre-orders. It would cost more than ten thousand dollars, at least locally. They had lost out on something so valuable just because they didn't dare offend Vivian.When Cheryl saw how everyone was looking at Vivian viciously, she smiled brightly. "Ms. Evans, I'll take all these phones back then.""Sure, alright." Caroline nodded.The others could only watch hatefully as Cheryl took the phones away.When Jules saw this happening, he couldn't help but see Caroline in a new light.It was a decision from higher up to choose Caroline as the Design Director. And this position would be hers for life. Honestly, he had suspected Caroline's capabilities too. Although she was exceedingly skilled in design, she had no other work experience.That
