Brittany replied to her text quickly. She told Caroline that she was having lunch with a friend, but Caroline could join them if she didn't mind.Sure enough, Caroline didn't mind and replied in affirmation. Brittany was having lunch in a restaurant not far from the company. The restaurant was opposite Morrison Corporation's building. When Caroline thought of Kirk being there, she frowned."Are you in a bad mood?" Brittany handed a drink to Caroline. She had already told Kirk about this before inviting Caroline to join her, but he hadn't sounded in a good mood on the phone. After seeing Caroline's serious expression, she immediately guessed the couple were probably in a fight.Caroline said, "Thank you. I'm fine."Brittany shook her hand. "Don't forget what I do. If I couldn't observe people's words and emotions, I wouldn't even be in this line of work right now."Caroline smiled at her words. "As expected, I can't hide anything from you. In fact, I have some relationship pr
Caroline answered honestly, "Because I can't afford to hire them."Andrea smiled. "This is the first time I've seen an honest boss like you. How about this? Since you've helped me out before, I'll give you a 50% discount."Caroline shook her head. She couldn't even afford the 50% discount. "Why don't you hand me her information for now?"At Caroline's insistence, Andrea didn't say anything else. "Okay, but if you think she isn't right for the job, I can get a big-name celebrity with the time to help you promote your products. We'll help you out, free of charge."Caroline looked at Andrea gratefully. "Thank you," she said.Standing up, she said, "Then, I won't interrupt you two any longer.""All right. See you around."After saying goodbye, Andrea looked at Brittany and asked, "Hey, what do you think of Caroline?"Brittany was about to nod when she heard Andrea say, "Do you think I should introduce her to my brother? He'll definitely like a girl like her, right?"Brittany cho
Caroline bought a classic-styled handbag from an Louis Vuitton store and had a staff member post it to Macldo. Initially, Cheryl assumed that Caroline had bought the bag for Daphne. But then, she got word that it was going to be sent out. She asked, "Caroline, aren't you preparing this for Daphne?" "Why would I prepare a gift for her?" Caroline asked. Cheryl was about to say something but found that she didn't know how to answer that question. So she quietly followed Caroline and got in the car. Soon, they arrived at the filming site. A staff member there wasted no time taking them to the dressing room to meet Daphne. "Ms. Daphne has a guest. Please wait here, and I'll head inside to tell her about your arrival," said the staff member.Caroline nodded. "Okay."Cheryl then whispered to Caroline, "It's Layla for sure."Instead of replying, Caroline simply unlocked her phone to check if Andrea had sent her the information about Sonia. She was pleasantly surprised to find th
The staff member left to bring Caroline in. Daphne asked Layla, "Do you want to stay out of her sight?""No. I want her to know that I'm here. I want to see her expression when she sees me here." This time, she would surely get the chance to see it for herself. Daphne had already made a promise to sign the contract with Layla, so she wouldn't go back on her word. Caroline was busy going through Sonia's information when she heard the noise of a brawl coming from somewhere near her. She looked up to see a slender figure being lifted into the air with suspension wires. Soon, a few others followed suit, and they all got into a fight. All of them were agile, and the young woman who led them was especially nimble despite her small stature. Her fighting style was firm yet elegant, as though she were dancing away in a battle. It was aesthetically pleasing and practical at the same time. Watching her moves, Caroline couldn't help but ask one of the staff members, "Who's that body do
"Who said so? I've even prepared the contract for you." Caroline took out the contract from her bag and handed it over to Daphne. "Take a look. It's stated here—20 million dollars. I'm serious about it." Daphne forgot all about her hatred for Caroline the moment she saw the words "20 million dollars" on the paper. Noticing how Daphne was on the verge of accepting the offer, Layla gripped her hand and added, "Ms. Daphne, I can give you 25 million dollars a year." Now, Daphne's gaze snapped at Layla. "Layla," Caroline called out. Layla's heart bled when the words left her mouth just now, but seeing Caroline's anxious face made her think that it was all worth it. "Caroline, the higher bidder wins the prize. You can raise the price if you have the power to." "Don't be too full of yourself." Caroline snarled, her brows knitted closely together. She then turned to Daphne once more. "I'm willing to hand over 10% of profits to you as part of your endorsement fees if you sign
If Caroline hadn't said anything about signing a contract with Daphne, Layla wouldn't have spent 25 million on her. She could've simply taken advantage of her relationship with Kirk to bind Daphne for just five million a year. "Caroline!" Layla roared and rushed forth to grab at Caroline's neck. Cheryl ran forward in an attempt to save Caroline, but the latter stopped her and glanced around at the surveillance cameras around them."There are so many cameras around," Caroline said smilingly. "The paparazzi would be very pleased to see you beat me up, don't you think?"Only then did Layla realize that they were on a filming set. If she got on the news for beating Caroline up, she would drag her new company down. It would also affect her relationship with Eddy, which she had so painstakingly managed to mend not long ago. Slowly and begrudgingly, she let go of Caroline. "It's just 25 million dollars," she said through gritted teeth. "Don't you dare think that you can defeat
Caroline shuddered. The confusion and bitterness she felt were like countless blades stabbing at her heart. She didn't know what to do at all. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. A moment later, she muttered, "Jack, a person can have many sides. What makes you so sure of that?" Despite her question, determination shone in Jack's eyes. "Indeed. People have many sides and can hide their true faces," he replied. "But in this world, there are two things that cannot be hidden. You can't hide love, just like you can't hide a cough.""I don't know what happened between you two. But please remember that Mr. Morrison truly loves you." Although Jack found it rather amusing when he saw how Kirk suffered mentally from being in love, he earnestly hoped that Caroline and Kirk would be together until the end. He had been by Kirk's side for so many years and knew that his boss had only ever given in when Caroline was around. The fact that a proud person like him would
Caroline took a deep breath and told herself that it was all a lie. The person who had accused Kirk of marrying other women had lied to her. Even though she had reached this conclusion, it somehow made her shudder in fear of the unknown. She couldn't understand why someone would do something like that. Kirk was just an ordinary guy, after all. At most, he had a small company of his own. Even then, his father had founded the company, and Kirk was merely in charge of taking care of it. Kirk told her before that it was just a small company, and she believed it. If it had been a huge business, he could have simply taken over the company and wouldn't have needed to go out to work. Therefore, she was certain that Kirk was only an ordinary, white-collar worker. He was like a tiny fish in the ocean here in Easton. If that person had indeed lied, why had they made Kirk their target? The thought made Caroline waver. "You're back." Kirk's voice sounded from the kitchen. There was
