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.

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.

"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.

But when they saw Caroline, their eyes focused on her intently for a few seconds.Especially Vivian's.There was a look of unbridled mockery in her eyes.Jules said to Caroline regretfully, "Ms. Evans, I'm very sorry. Mr. French's assistant called this morning and said he has agreed to our partnership."Caroline gave a slight smile. "But this is a good thing.""But …" Jules didn't dare meet Caroline's eyes. "Mr. French has decided to use Vivian's design."Caroline's smile froze for a second but then grew bigger.
