Bogus Billionaire Chapter 485
Caroline wasn't the kind of person who would easily bend to another's will. Kirk might have an idea on how to stackle this, but she could come up with her very own idea too. She sat on the chair beside the bed and continued going through the documents. A ghost of a smile hung on Kirk's lips as he stared at her, watching her work. It had been long since he experienced a day as wonderful as this, and he found himself thinking that the hospital wasn't that horrible anymore. Just then, a doctor came in to check on him. "Mr. and Mrs. Morrison," he greeted them as he entered the room. Both Caroline and Kirk had left a lasting impression on him. To be precise, they had left a lasting impression on everyone here in the hospital. Caroline and Kirk looked like a lovey-dovey couple, but when asked if they were husband and wife, Caroline would always deny it. Apparently, they had gotten into a fight and weren't on good terms. Still, it was kind of embarrassing for her since her actio

Kirk pressed a hand against his heart. "You frown all day and every day, and you never smile at me. It makes me upset. "I'm sure it's the reason why my wound hasn't healed completely. Why don't you smile at me for once?" Caroline had the urge to give him a good kick in the ass, but she discarded the thought when she recalled what the doctor had just said. She had to bear with it. Eventually, she forced a smile. "Darling, your smile looks so forced that I feel worse now," Kirk said.Caroline was about to talk back when Kirk furrowed his brows and hissed in pain. Seeing this, her expression immediately changed. "I-I'll smile for you. Just give me some time."The frown on Kirk's face disappeared almost instantly. His trick had worked, and he stared contently at Caroline, who stared back at him. She found it extremely hard to smile now, so she forced herself to think of happy things. After some time, she still couldn't recall anything that made her happy, so she gave up. "Let

Caroline left, leaving Sonia and Kirk alone in the room. An awkward silence hung in the air as they both kept quiet. Sonia sat by the bed and stared at Kirk, who was resting with his eyes closed. She heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was pretty good-looking, yet especially hard to get along with. His dominating air was too much to handle, and he always gave others a sense of sternness and rigidity. She wondered how Caroline had been able to bear with him for such a long time. Sonia tapped her nose and took out her phone to read her script, ignoring Kirk. It didn't seem like he was going to strike up a conversation with her anyway. She had received the script just yesterday. It was the work of an infamous playwright called Marietta Weiss. Marietta had come to Easton this time in search of an actress for the female protagonist in her latest work, "Daughter of the Sea". It told the story of an Eastonian woman who had found her true love after traveling abroad. This

Sonia glanced at Kirk's phone's screen. His wallpaper was Caroline. She couldn't help but sigh. So this was what it meant when people said that it was impossible to hide it when you love someone. Every little detail of what you do would reflect your love for the person. "Why are you staring at your phone all the time? Is something wrong?"Kirk straightened his back and told her, "It's been almost an hour.""So?""She would usually be back by now." Sonia followed his gaze to look at the room's door and abruptly understood what he meant by that. She laughed. "You're too clingy! Caroline's only gone for an hour." Kirk then stared at her coolly. She lowered her eyes to stare at her phone in an attempt to avoid his gaze. She cleared her throat and said, "It's been quite a while. Let me call her for you." Kirk pursed his lips and said nothing, but from the vague smile on his lips, Sonia knew that he was in a better mood now. He was truly a pretentious fellow. He wanted to know

When Sonia arrived at Caroline's floor, she realized that Kirk was responsible for the loud bang she had just heard. He had kicked open the door to Caroline's apartment.Sonia stared with wide eyes as Kirk walked in the direction of the bedroom. He raised his hand to knock at the door and said, "Darling!" His tone was very different from what she had heard all this time. It was soft, and his voice was gentle.Just then, she heard Caroline roar from the other side of the door. "Get lost! I don't want to see you!" Sonia was stunned at her words. She didn't know what had happened between Kirk and Caroline. They had seemed to be on good terms just now. So what had happened? Sonia then turned to look at Kirk, who rested his forehead against the bedroom door. He was as patient as he could be as he tried talking to Caroline. "What happened? Can you please tell me what happened?"However, no sound came from the bedroom. Kirk was about to use brute force to kick down the door when

"Why don't you eat this?" Sonia placed the plate of pasta on the bedside table. Caroline shook her head, to which Sonia said, "You can't refuse this. Your body is a precious gift from God. You must eat, even if the world falls apart." Then, Caroline turned to look at her with dull and spiritless eyes. Her lips parted, but no words came out. Sonia knelt on the carpeted floor and glanced up at Caroline. "Can you tell me what happened?"The corners of Caroline's lips twitched, but her attempt at a smile failed. Sonia gripped her hands and said, "It's okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, and you don't have to eat this if you don't feel like it. I'll stay here with you. Just tell me what you want, alright?" Eventually, Caroline nodded. Feeling much relieved, Sonia stood up and walked to the side of the bed to draw the curtains. The darkness was rather welcoming, and it gave Caroline a sense of security. She curled up in her blankets and closed her eyes, letting

When it was almost afternoon, Caroline's expression finally eased a little. However, she still didn't have much of an appetite and refused to eat anything. Sonia was really afraid that Caroline would lose herself if she went on like this. However, when she saw that Caroline could still answer a call from Cheryl and give clear and logical suggestions, Sonia knew that she was someone who would never be defeated. Besides, when she worked, Caroline was like a whole other person. She was driven and energetic.No one could even tell that her heart was in agony.Yet, once Caroline put down her phone, it was like all the energy had been drained from her. She collapsed into bed weakly.Seeing this, Sonia suddenly got an idea. She took out her script and showed it to Caroline. As expected, Caroline transformed into another person when she held the script. She concentrated on it wholeheartedly, immersing herself in the world within the script.Sonia didn't disturb Caroline when she sa

"Did Marietta really write this?" Caroline asked. "It doesn't seem to be her style."Marietta's works were known for their sharp satire and harsh criticism. In contrast, this book was warm and tender. It was completely unlike her usual work."Yes. Plus, she's coming to Easton to find a leading female. But …" At that point, Caroline could see the deep disappointment in Sonia's eyes, no matter how hard the latter tried to hide it. "I think there's no need for an audition. Once she gets here, everything will be set in stone."Caroline sat up from bed. She hadn't eaten anything all day, so she felt unsteady. But now that she had finished some work and managed to distract herself, the burning rage within her had simmered a bit lower.She forced herself to focus all of her attention on Sonia. "Why is that?" she asked."Because … Because it's been rigged." When she saw Caroline sit up, she said, "Caroline, you must be hungry. I'll cook you something to eat."But Caroline stopp
