Jack's reaction was very solemn. He replied, "Please don't joke. She's a colleague at my company. She's just a young woman, and she doesn't have a boyfriend. If you say that, people might misunderstand."The instructor was taken aback. After a moment, she turned and apologized to Cheryl. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked."Actually, it was a common joke in Easton, so Cheryl didn't take it to heart. But seeing how serious Jack had been, she became flustered. She suddenly felt like she was seen as something precious.Outside the classroom, Cheryl followed behind Jack. "Jack, Caroline asked me to invite you to her place tonight to watch Sonia's new show. Do you want to come?"Jack didn't think much about it. "Sure."When they got to the elevator, Cheryl looked at Jack's broad and solid back. She said softly, "Actually … you didn't have to be so serious just now.""What?""That instructor was just joking."Jack tilted his head and said, equally somberly, "I know, but I only cons
When Caroline saw Kirk, the smile on her face vanished. The huge change in demeanor told Jack, clueless as he was being said to be, that Kirk and Caroline hadn't settled the issues between them.This was the first time Cheryl had seen Kirk. It was only when Jack went forward to help him with the bags that she realized this was Caroline's husband. She had been dying to meet him for ages!Damn! He was so handsome!Cheryl wasn't interested in fangirling, so she had never understood how excited people might feel when they met their idols. However, she had a taste of that feeling just then.After all, people just couldn't resist a handsome face. "Caroline, Caroline. Your husband is so handsome!" Cheryl clutched Caroline's sleeve as she said this. She completely forgot that Caroline and Kirk were currently fighting. Seeing Cheryl lose her composure, Caroline felt less guilty.See, it wasn't just her who couldn't stand up to the power of Kirk's looks. He was simply too handsome. So
Cheryl looked at Caroline in disbelief. "Caroline, you must be joking, right? Your husband's so handsome, and he's a manager at Morrison Corp. Do you know how many people would want to marry him?"Caroline really didn't have a clue.After Cheryl explained things, Caroline finally understood that Kirk was an exceptional man when it came to ordinary people. He was a very successful man.Caroline had only considered Kirk an ordinary person because she had been comparing him to men from wealthy families, those with riches that had been accumulating for multiple generations. Indeed, when compared to such men, Kirk didn't have many advantages."Besides, women now have to look at more than what's in men's wallets. We also have to consider their looks. With your husband's looks, countless people would throw money at him even if he was broke."Caroline was confused by this, and it showed on her face. "I can tell that you don't pay attention to what goes on in the entertainment indust
Caroline looked at Kirk in confusion. "I really don't understand why it's so hard to explain why you're supposedly already married."Right then, there was a knock at the door.Caroline turned her head and saw Jack with a basket full of vegetables. He looked to be at a loss for words. This glass sliding door was really good for soundproofing.Caroline had no choice but to pull the door open. "Ms. Evans, Cheryl asked me to tell you that the webseries is starting."Caroline nodded and took one last look at Kirk before leaving the kitchen.Back in the living room, Caroline was still thinking about what she had asked Kirk. She couldn't pay much attention to the show at all. However, Cheryl was having the time of her life watching it. "Caroline, I really understand why you said Sonia would become popular after watching this show. Her entrance was amazing! She can beat Daphne Dawson any day!"Caroline answered distractedly, "That's right.""Speaking of Daphne Dawson, I really w
At that same moment, Layla and Daphne were both overjoyed in their live stream. A large portion of people who watched the stream only did so because of Eddy's and his second uncle's reputation. The fact that Daphne was Eddy's second aunt wasn't a secret anymore. Meanwhile, Layla had been showing up with Eddy frequently during this time. Privately, she was known as Eddy's girlfriend already. With the two of them being on the same live stream, it naturally attracted lots of intrigued people. The comments section was going crazy."Ahhh, it's a dream team. Who would have thought an aunt and a niece-in-law would be such a great team?""Although Layla hasn't married Mr. Eddy yet, I think it's going to happen soon.""I admire them so much. They seem to have a great relationship!"These comments and more kept springing up.Seeing the number of views steadily climbing, Layla smiled. This was exactly the kind of outcome she wanted. Layla knew that Eddy's name would bring in a lot of
Caroline only found out that her name had trended the next day. She didn't pay much attention to that kind of thing and only realized it because she had been checking the views on Sonia's new webseries."Since last night until now, the accumulated views hasn't even broken five million yet," the head of the advertising department said with a frown, rapping the desk in the conference room. "Ms. Evans, I don't think the show will become popular."Caroline's expression was indifferent.The head of the marketing department used this opportunity to ask, "Ms. Evans, shouldn't we adjust our strategy? The plan of waiting for our ambassador's webseries to go viral has always been an uncertainty."Caroline fiddled with the pen in her hand and stayed silent. Meanwhile, the heads of some other departments also brought up some suggestions. On the whole, they agreed with the marketing department head. They wanted Caroline to switch up the strategy and use Layla's popularity to make some s
Cheryl realized just how unwavering Caroline's attitude was. Countless people came to push her in the next few days, all asking her to take action. Nevertheless, she remained unmoved.Caroline remained at ease even when Andrea came to have a meal with her to apologize for Sonia's show not becoming popular and delaying her advertising campaign. Caroline only waved a hand at that and said it was fine.This caused many people to wonder if she had gone off her rocker. That, or that she was in a panic and was only pretending to be unaffected.But Cheryl, who had been by Caroline's side every day, knew more than anyone that Caroline was truly completely at ease.However, her peacefulness was not akin to a puddle of standing water. No, it was the calm before the storm.This allowed Cheryl to get over her anxiety and slowly calm down.This peacefulness persisted until the third day. Cheryl had been suffering for the past few days. It felt like the days had stretched into a century.
Seeing how their stock had been sold out so quickly, the heads of the advertising and marketing departments exchanged glances with each other. Neither of them had ever expected that they could sell that many items. As such, they still hadn't informed Caroline that the factory had stopped manufacturing their products because it had chosen to fulfill Evanson Corp's order first instead.Thinking of how they wouldn't be able to ship the orders tomorrow, the two of them started sweating bullets."Ms. Evans …" The two braced themselves and went to Caroline. "We … don't have the stock to fulfill the orders …"Caroline regarded them coldly and tossed a contract before them. "This is the contract I signed with our new manufacturer. Tomorrow, you will go and deal with order fulfillment. "This is the first time this has happened, and it's because we didn't have enough trust in each other. If this happens again, you should prepare your resignation letters."The two department heads f
