Bogus Billionaire Chapter 388
After getting ready, Caroline walked out of the bathroom to see Kirk still asleep. Sighing in relief, she went downstairs, started her car, and drove to work. Oblivious to her, Kirk was standing by the window and behind the blinds on the second floor when she entered the garage. He silently watched her leave. Exhausted, he massaged his temples and went back to sit on the edge of the bed. Helplessness washed over him, and it weighed on his heart and mind. He wanted to do something to change this but found that he couldn't do anything at all. In the end, he picked up his phone and called Charles. "Sir," Charles chirped. He knew fairly well that Kirk had been in a foul mood for the past few days, so he had been preparing himself to receive his next orders. Hence, he had been able to wake up right away when he heard his phone ring. "Did you manage to find out anything?" Kirk's voice was dangerously low, to the point that Charles forcefully stopped himself from yawning. "The

"Is there a problem?" Caroline asked, keeping her calm. The people around her lost the courage to say anything else. They mumbled amongst themselves and left soon after. However, they started complaining again right after leaving her office. "What's wrong with her? Why is she so angry?""Of course, she's pissed! If I were her, I would have lost my mind to lose the chance at signing a contract with Daphne!" "This is exactly how people behave when they are powerless. Back then, I told my friends that I wanted to work at Evans Group, but they told me that this company wouldn't last long. "I didn't believe them and joined the team. Seeing how things are now, we'll become jobless before the next product is introduced to the market." "It isn't that bad," said Caroline. She was more or less an idol to quite a number of people, and the head of the design department had a pretty good impression of her too. "I think we stand a chance against the opposite party." The employees t

George fretted over it so much that he tossed away the documents in his hands and rushed out to go after Luke. However, Gavin called out, "Stop right there!" "Gavin, this is our final chance! If we don't withdraw our funds, we'll surely lose everything we have!" "We can't backstab her at a moment like this!"Business and morality are two different things. You can't just give up on our business just because you want to show how loyal you are to someone!" George exclaimed. The scowl on Gavin's face deepened. He waved his hand. His mind was made up. "I've decided. Listen up; if you dare to withdraw the funds, I'll cut ties with you!" His tone made it clear that he wasn't going to relent. Seeing how determined Gavin was, George stormed out of the office, clearly pissed. Gavin spun in his chair so that his back faced the door. He then shook his head helplessly at George's antics. He wouldn't betray Caroline now, even if it meant losing money. …In a restaurant, Caroline sat

"Can you wait a moment?" Caroline got up and looked toward the window seat. Adrian was too excited to tell Caroline about the feelings he had for her for the past 20 years and more. "Caroline, I …""Gwen?" After confirming that the person sitting by the window was Gwen, Caroline apologized to Adrian and rushed over. "Gwen, is it really you? What are you doing here? Also …"There were a number of beer bottles on the table. Caroline took the bottle of beer from Gwen's hand and asked, "How much did you drink?"Gwen was obviously drunk and couldn't recognize the person before her at all. She stood and tried to get her beer back, but she swayed and nearly fell. Luckily, Adrian moved fast and held her up. However, Gwen reacted to this like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She shoved Adrian away. "Go away. You men are all disgusting!"Every guest in the restaurant turned to look over at them. Adrian was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Caroline went forward to hold Gwen

Caroline replied, "Speaking of buying you a meal, I think I've mentioned it several times already." As she spoke, she went to get Adrian some water. When he accepted the glass of water, Adrian couldn't avoid touching Caroline's skin. The touch was like being shocked by electricity. It made Adrian's face turn red. Adrian ducked his head and gulped down some water to still his rapidly beating heart. "Right. Are you free this weekend? Maybe we can have that meal."After drinking her own water, Caroline raised her head to find that Adrian's face was red. "Why is your face so red?" she asked. Adrian's mind buzzed, the blush spreading to his neck as sweat dripped. He coughed. "I …""You must be hot." Caroline went to find the remote control. "I think men run hotter than women, so you sweat easier."Adrian's heart dislodged from his throat. He felt a little disappointed. Soon, Caroline found the remote control and turned the air conditioning on. Then, she turned to head into the be

"Kirk?" After a brief feeling of astonishment, Caroline felt rage surge through her. How had he known that she was here?Kirk smiled as he looked kindly at Adrian, who was behind Caroline. But there was a violent wave buried deep in his eyes. Adrian was stunned when he first saw Kirk. His immediate reaction was to recall which family this man was from. But no matter how he went through the memories in his mind, he couldn't place the man. In the end, Adrian looked at Kirk warily. This was no simple man. As Adrian regarded him without inhibition, Kirk only swept Adrian a casual gaze before ducking his head toward Caroline. "Jack said you were sending Gwen home, so I came over to check on things. Is everything alright? Do you need help?" As he spoke, he took Caroline's hand, wordlessly saying that she belonged to him.Caroline was currently angry at Kirk because he knew her whereabouts. She didn't notice the two men glaring at each other. "It's nothing. Gwen just got drunk."

"Darling," Kirk said."You head home first."Kirk watched as Caroline turned mercilessly away, his fists clenching. "Alright, I'll go home first. Call me if anything happens," he said. After that, he was silent for a moment before he left and closed the door behind him.When the door clicked closed, Caroline couldn't maintain the rigidity of her back anymore. She slid to the ground. She covered her face as her shoulders trembled gently. After more than half an hour, Caroline rushed into the bathroom and wiped the tears from her face. When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror, her makeup ruined. Although she had been trying hard to fill the emptiness in her heart with work, as more time passed, the pain got harder to deal with.If this went on, she would go crazy.She took out her phone and clicked on her chat with Marina. There were no new messages. There were still 18 more hours until working hours started in Macldo.Caroline had the urge to sedate herself and slee

Gwen couldn't keep it a secret anymore with the way Caroline was looking at her. She could only swallow her pills, wash them down with water, and say, "I've been suspended at work."Caroline frowned. "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing?""I didn't know how to tell you." Gwen sighed. "Besides, I didn't want to keep bothering with all my little issues."Caroline replied, "But I'm your best friend.""Alright, alright. Are you going to listen or not?" Gwen whined. In response, Caroline could only say, "Alright, tell me.""Actually, it's really simple, but I have to start from Macovo …"After Caroline and Kirk had left Macovo, Gwen and Sean had kept looking for witnesses. But after going through dozens of people, no one came forward. They didn't know if it was because the witnesses found the matter too troublesome or because they really didn't see anything. Seeing that their vacation was almost over, Gwen had no choice but to give up. After all, she assumed that she
