After satiating his desire, Kirk was in a good mood and pulled Caroline into his arms. He was playing with her fingers as he broke the situation down and analyzed it for her."There's nothing Sloan Mackey really cares about. He doesn't care about money, but his father is different. After all, he had built his empire with his own hands back in the day. He knows very well what that was like.""What you mean is that I should talk to his father," Caroline replied."Smart girl." Kirk kissed Caroline's lips.Caroline smiled as she looked at Kirk. The way she was looking at him made Kirk feel a little panicked. "What is it?" he asked. Had he accidentally exposed himself?"It's nothing. I just think you have a great eye for analyzing problems. You understand the point in a flash. Even if you quit your job, I won't be worried about you."Kirk's straightened back relaxed a little. He caressed Caroline's hair. "Darling, I'll get shy from the way you praise me."Caroline didn't believe
Vivian also froze where she stood by Layla's side. But then, she smiled mockingly. "I was wondering why you weren't at work today. It seems you were looking for your next company."Vivian had accidentally seen Caroline's resignation letter in Jules' office yesterday. After some questioning, she finally found out that Caroline was leaving Thorne Corp. She guessed that Jules must have made her write that resignation. She even thought that Caroline must have made a huge mistake, which was why Jules was making her resign.That was why Vivian had gone to work early in the morning. She had planned to use this information to be snide toward Caroline. But it turned out that Caroline had taken the day off. Thus, Vivian could only go see Layla and tell her the good news.Layla and Vivian had even come to an agreement. If Vivian helped Layla figure out what Caroline had done wrong, Layla would help Vivian become Thorne Corporation's design director once she became Evans Group's CEO.After a
The arrangement for Caroline to meet Sloan went quite smoothly. It was just that when she saw him, she couldn't help but frown.They were meeting on a yacht. It was a place of questionable behavior, where men and women were entwined together, ignoring others as they kissed. Since it was still daytime, it was especially hard to stomach.Caroline looked straight ahead as a staff member led her through. Finally, she saw Sloan in the midst of some female models. He had obviously been drinking too much and was in a party mood.The staff member went forward and said, "Mr. Mackey, Ms. Evans is here."It took a few repetitions for Sloan to finally turn and look at Caroline, his eyes squinting. Now, he didn't look like he'd been drinking a lot, but rather …Caroline looked toward the table. On it, there were several bags that were still stained with powder.Her chest tightened, but her expression didn't change. She said, "Mr. Mackey, I'm here to talk to you about Evans Group's affairs."
At this moment, Liam was in a meeting at the company. When he heard that Caroline wanted to come over, he immediately agreed to it.When Caroline arrived at Mackey Group, Liam had just finished his meeting. "A rare visitor you are, Ms. Evans." Liam led Caroline into his office. "What brings you here today?"Caroline sat on the couch by the coffee table. "Nothing much. It's just that Evans Group will be choosing a new CEO soon, and I hope I can get your support." She spoke blandly, as if she were discussing the weather.Liam was stunned for a moment before he started laughing. "Ms. Evans, you're going to compete for the position of Evans Group's CEO? I didn't expect that. You were always just the little girl running after Mr. Eddy. Now it seems you're going to be an independent woman."Caroline couldn't tell if Liam was teasing or mocking her. She looked at him unblinkingly as she smiled. Liam coughed awkwardly. "Evans Group getting a new CEO is an internal matter. I have
The assistant was nervous as he asked, "Sir, what does Caroline Evans mean by this?"Liam's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't know either. He had never interacted much with Caroline before.He only knew that she was a brainless sort of woman. Jude Morrison had always been supportive of her becoming Eddy's wife, but she had given up on that opportunity.After some thought, Liam made a call to Layla and waved his assistant off.The assistant quickly went outside.Layla answered just as the door closed. "Your guess was right, Ms. Evans. Caroline Evans indeed came to see me."Layla was currently playing cards. When she heard this, she smiled in satisfaction. "I see. What did she say?""She said she would acquire my company within half a year and pay more than the market price."Layla burst into laughter, causing her friends to look up and ask, "What, are you going to win?"Layla snickered. "No, I just heard a very funny joke." As she said this, she got someone to take her place in th
Jules was stunned. "You want to recommend Vivian?""No." Caroline shook her head. "When it comes to work, Vivian is flawless. But she's just too envious of others. If you can't find anyone in a pinch, you can have her take the position for the time being. But my suggestion is that you should find the right candidate as soon as possible to fill such an important post."Jules smiled a little. "Honestly, I was still worried that you wouldn't be able to handle the position of Evans Group's CEO. But after hearing you say that, I think Evans Group will only grow bigger and better in your hands."Caroline looked at problems with an unbiased eye. She didn't consider her own likes or dislikes. She could even be so fair toward Vivian, who had caused her problem after problem. It was a rare thing.Caroline answered, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Hawkins. I'll go back to my office now.""Alright."When she got back to her office, Caroline saw Cheryl's eyes red from crying. "What is i
Once Caroline settled matters regarding Evans Group, she had much more free time for a few days. Just as she had nothing to do, she received a call from Gwen."Carol, I have tomorrow off. Do you want to go and pick out a wedding gown together tomorrow?"When it came to buying a wedding gown, Gwen was even more excited than Caroline was. Caroline smiled. "Sure.""Didn't you want to have your pictures taken in Macovo? I heard it snows there all year. Do you want to take ski equipment there too?"Caroline wasn't sure about it. "I don't think we have that much time there."Hearing this, Gwen said, "That's true. But I would really love to go with you to take your photos."Caroline teased, "You really want to go?""Yes.""Then why don't you quickly make Sean official?"Gwen scoffed. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I've noticed you're biased toward him."Caroline smiled. After she hung up, she finished work and went home.Kirk had come home early today, and he had cooked. When
The next day, after Caroline and Gwen met up, they went straight to Merry Color. As for Sean and Kirk, they had both been dumped at home. In Sean's words, they had become latchkey kids.Soon, Caroline and Gwen arrived at Merry Color.When she saw Caroline, the new store manager quickly went forward. "You must be Mrs. Yates. Mr. Eddy said that you can choose any dress in the shop as long as you like it."Caroline and Gwen exchanged a glance and chuckled at the same time. The manager didn't know why they were laughing. She led them both to pick out wedding gowns.Then, she moved away for a moment. Gwen went up to Caroline and said with a chuckle, "I wonder how Eddy would react if he found out you were the Mrs. Yates he was talking about."Caroline smiled for a moment before frowning. "Gwen, stop getting Sean to pretend to be my husband next time.""What are you afraid of?" Gwen knew what Caroline was worried about. "Our relationship isn't that fragile. Besides, I trust you 100%
