"Then let's go home."Caroline looked at Kirk through the warm yellow streetlights.Kirk's gaze was deep and determined. His eyes were perfect.If she had met Kirk before Eddy, she would have surely fallen for him.She would have sacrificed everything for him without regret, just as she had eight years ago.But she wasn't that person anymore.She wasn't the same brave girl as eight years ago.She leaned her head gently into Kirk's embrace, silently listening to his strong heartbeat. She didn't want to think about the future.At least this moment was real.Since Caroline had a few drinks, she fell asleep as soon as she got home. Kirk carried her to the master bedroom on the second floor.By the time he covered her with a blanket, the red marks on her neck had faded. Still, Kirk's heart tightened

Gwen got up and said casually, "Sean, about what happened last time. It was a unique occurrence. You're Kirk's friend, and I'm Caroline's friend. There's no avoiding some interaction between us. Let's use this opportunity to work this out."Sean was taken aback. "How do you want to settle it?""Let's pretend it never happened." Seeing Sean pause, Gwen patted his shoulder in a chummy manner. "You're not looking for me to take responsibility, are you?"When she said this, their eyes met. It seemed as though a spark of electricity had traveled between them.Gwen quickly looked away. Her voice was small as she said, "Please, it's th

Caroline became amused at the look on the man's face. "Really?" she asked."Why would I lie?"Caroline was relieved. She packed up a portion of the pizza and gave the rest to the cafeteria's staff.Watching Caroline leave, the staff went over to the cook, who had tried the pizza. "Hey, this design director doesn't seem as … useless as the others say. At least she seems quite talented when it comes to cooking."The man looked at Caroline's retreating figure and smiled sunnily."Do you think a normal person could handle a picky man like Eddy Morrison?"He said this so quietly that the others didn't hear it.…Armed with her pizza, Caroline headed to the hotel where Corvin was staying.The company had arranged this hotel for him.

Corvin was behaving mysteriously. "Do you really not know that girl?"Kirk turned his phone in circles in his hand. Then, he sat back down and pillowed his head on both palms. "Depends on how you define 'know.'"Corvin said, "I think there's something different about the way you look at her. Honestly, are you two dating? Did you come here to put in a good word for her? "There are some things I need to clarify. It's not that I won't help out my friends. But I've always been a fair person. Even if you put in a word for her, I won't help."Kirk smiled. "But I didn't mention a word of the competition tomorrow."Corvin asked, "You're really not here to help that girl out?""No."Corvin finally relaxed. "And you don't know each other?"Kirk didn't say a word.Corvin took this response as an admission. He put a hand against his chest. "I thought you liked her too. But now that I think about it, how could a workaholic possibly have someone he likes? Alright, there's nothing else no

"I'm sorry. I got too invested in work and forgot about the time."Jack quickly replied, "Miss, please don't say that. I'm not entitled to an explanation. Please, do get in the car."Cheryl stood to the side and watched as Jack opened the door for Caroline. Then, she regarded the interior of the car and felt great admiration. She said lowly to Caroline, "Caroline, your family treats you so well. They even prepared a car just to take you places."Cheryl's mention of family was like a knife stabbing into Caroline's heart.Caroline lowered her head, hiding the hurt in her eyes. "It's not an arrangement by my family. It's by the company."Cheryl was taken aback. "The company? Then why don't the other directors get such treatment?"From what she'd seen, all the other directors drove themselves to and from work.Caroline was stunned. "What did you say?"They were speaking so quietly that Jack couldn't hear it from the front seat. Jack kept his focus on driving."I said …" Cheryl b

But all that came to his mind were all the things Sarah had done to Caroline during this time.He couldn't imagine how Caroline's small, fragile body would handle her parents' betrayal.Kirk hugged Caroline even tighter.
