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
Right then, someone spoke up. "I think Vivian has worked with Mr. French before?"Vivian smiled happily. "Yes. Three years ago, when I was still a designer overseas, I was lucky enough to design the packaging for Mr. French's anti-aging face mask.""I remember now. I heard Mr. French couldn't stop praising your design. He even wanted to sign a long-term contract with you. How come that fell through?""I had some family issues then, so I had to come back to the country."Everyone present seemed to find it a shame.Then, someone suggested, "Since Vivian has worked with Mr. French before, she should handle this task. Mr. French will surely be happy with the design she produces."The others nodded in agreement.Jules' gaze fell on Caroline. "What do you think, Ms. Evans?"At that moment, the others finally remembered that Caroline was the Design Director.But it wasn't their fault for forgetting Caroline. After all, Vivian had skills and experience.There had to be something wron
Caroline got back to her office and massaged her temples. This was a fight that would allow her to prove herself. She had to do well.She took a deep breath and turned her computer on. She went to the internal records and searched for Corvin's information. Then, she downloaded and printed everything.According to the information, Corvin had unique preferences for the packaging design of his products. He liked bright colors with a bold and avant-garde style.Caroline clicked on the displayed products and frowned.She really … didn't understand his taste.However, this design needed Corvin's approval. Thus, Caroline had to force herself to keep looking.Even when working hours ended, Caroline still hadn't come up with any ideas.She organized her documents and took Eddy's necklace from the drawer. Then, she got up to go downstairs.Downstairs,many other colleagues were getting off work. When they saw Caroline, they couldn't help but give her a few extra looks.Caroline calmly
Right then, Eddy's displeased voice came from the door. "Grandpa, I'm home."The next second, he saw Caroline standing next to Jude and froze.Dressed in office clothes, Caroline had lost her cautious persona. She looked like a confident professional. It made it impossible for Eddy to look away from her.Eddy swallowed. He asked, "When did you get back?"Caroline said blandly, "A few days ago."Then, she turned to Jude. "I'm leaving now, Grandpa."Since Jude was there, Caroline could only ask Eddy as she walked past him, "Mr. Eddy, could you step out with me for a second?"Eddy could just about smell her womanly scent. It made his heart skip a beat. He nodded almost instinctively.After he nodded, Eddy regretted it a bit. He quickly said, "Whatever you have to say can be said here."Caroline's eyebrows furrowed. She ignored Eddy and walked out.Eddy thinned his lips. He groaned but followed Caroline anyway.Seeing this, Jude shook his head helplessly. When would his silly gr
After taking a few turns, the car finally slowed. Jack looked in the rearview mirror to check for the car he'd been trying to shake off. He said expressionlessly, "It seems like there's a bit of a problem with the car. I'll take it for a check tonight. It shouldn't be anything big. It won't affect your going in and out, Ms. Evans."Caroline frowned. She didn't quite believe Jack when he said it wasn't a big problem.But during the next half of the car ride, the car indeed did not experience any hiccups. Thus, Caroline didn't mention it. She told Jack to drive home carefully and walked into the villa.…At the Collins' residence, Howard Collins yelled, "Useless! You're all just useless trash!" He was so mad that he kicked the bodyguard who'd returned to report. "What's the point of paying you? You couldn't find out who that person was, even though you spent so much time investigating them! I made you wait at the airport, but you still let them go right under your nose! I ask
Sean wasn't very excited about it. "I don't feel like going."Kirk didn't say more to Sean. He hung up and sent Sean an address.About an hour later, the two met up at the bar.Sean had reserved a VIP room. When he saw Kirk come in alone, he curled his lip. "Why are you alone?"Kirk took out a cigar from his cigar box and put it between his teeth. He lit it and sunk lazily into the couch. "Did you expect more people?""Caroline didn't come with you? She had nothing to say about you coming to a bar?"Kirk's tone was blank as he smoked and said, "She doesn't know I'm here.""You're fighting again?"Kirk flipped open his lighter with a crack. A bright flame lit up his sharp features. He looked down and hummed. It was impossible to tell how he was feeling."Why are you fighting?" Sean was curious and scooted closer.Kirk let out a mouthful of smoke. He didn't answer Sean and only smiled. "They say men are heartless creatures after getting what they want. I think women are the sam
After more than half an hour, Caroline finally arrived at the bar Sean had told her to come to. When she saw the flowing traffic surrounding the place, she started feeling deeply suspicious.… Wasn't this a busy main road? Why couldn't they get an Uber?Caroline didn't think more about it. She quickly found Sean waving at her. "Over here!"She walked rapidly over. Not far off, Kirk was leaning against a pole.In the dim light of the night, Caroline couldn't see his features clearly. Only when she got closer did she see that Kirk's eyes were slightly closed. His forehead was scrunched up, and he looked as if he were in pain. The smell of alcohol surrounded him.It seemed that Kirk must have drunk a lot."Kirk!" Caroline patted Kirk's cheeks.Kirk opened his eyes, his red eyes meeting Caroline's gaze all of a sudden.Caroline shuddered violently. It was as if she were looking at a hurt kitten. Her movements became gentler. "Let's go home."Kirk stood without moving.Caroline
Caroline was distracted all morning. Her mind was filled with the image of Kirk's scratched-up abdomen.She had reason to believe that Kirk had been seducing her. He was probably trying to dumb her down by tempting her and making her forget why they were fighting.She had to admit that his plan was quite successful.She really couldn't hold off much longer.Just as she was about to let her mind run wild, she saw Cheryl walking past the door, seemingly in a daze. In the beginning, Caroline didn't find anything weird about it. But after Cheryl walked past, she sensed something amiss. "Cheryl."A few seconds later, Cheryl appeared at her door, looking distracted. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her hair stuck to her face wetly. She looked to be in a ghastly state."What happened?"Cheryl lowered her head and thinned her lips. She dared not say a word.Caroline stood up, her hands supported on the table. "Answer me!"Caroline had a commanding air about her, and it scared Cheryl.
