Caroline walked briskly to Kirk's side and stretched out her hand, asking, "Where are the documents?"Kirk looked down at Caroline's slender fingers and couldn't resist fiddling with them. He answered, "In the car.""Okay." Caroline's hands were ticklish, but she didn't resist. She continued to ask with a smile, "What does your subordinate look like?""He has a face."Caroline chuckled and said, "I'm serious. What if I give them to the wrong person?""You won't. He'll definitely recognize you." Kirk handed the keys to Caroline and said, "I'll head up there first. You can join us after you hand him the documents.""Okay." Caroline nodded obediently. She watched Kirk leave before getting into the car and waiting patiently.…The elevator stopped on the third floor, and Kirk walked towards the private room. He'd never been this nervous before. He laughed at himself.Discussing billion-dollar deals with other people was easier than this. He wondered what was wrong with him. He wal
Along with Brie, the entire Collins family had become the laughing stock of the public. Hence, Howard had come here today to give Jude a piece of his mind. Jude furrowed his brows in displeasure. "I only ever mentioned a blind date, and I never mentioned it again after Kirk married. Besides, it was just a blind date, so there's nothing certain about it. What made you think that the two of them would get married?" Howard was dumbstruck now, but there was nothing he could do to vent his anger. "You should at least compensate us," he said as he looked at Kirk. "Mr. Kirk may be married already, but his career focuses only on domestic businesses now. Besides, men get lonely pretty quickly, so … why don't you let him marry another woman?" He pushed Brie in Kirk's direction. Brie lowered her head, looking shy and embarrassed. She leaned forward, making it look like she was going to fall into his arms any time soon. Unfortunately for her, Kirk dodged her easily. She almost fell to
Brie had just suffered a lot at Kirk's hands. Seeing Caroline here, she could finally have someone as her punching bag. She wasted no time grabbing Caroline's arm and lashing out at her, "You're here to seduce Eddy's second uncle, right?" Caroline glanced sideways to look at her arm, which was stinging from Brie's grasp. "Let go!" she spat. Brie didn't listen. It was as though she'd gone mad with rage. If she couldn't get what she wanted, why could Caroline? Seeing that Brie wasn't going to let go anytime soon, Caroline grabbed her by the wrist, her fingernails sinking deeply into her flesh. Brie yelped in pain and let go of Caroline to look at the marks on her wrist. She rushed at Caroline, ready to tear her apart. Caroline dodged her easily and looked up at the surveillance camera not far away from them. "Ms. Collins, please behave," she warned. Howard realized that this wasn't their territory, and if Brie continued on with that crazed look of hers, she would humiliate
Caroline didn't care about that. Apart from Jude, she wasn't really close to any of the other Morrisons, after all. "I'm calling a substitute driver, so I'm hanging up." She hung up and called for a driver. Fortunately, she was still in the city, so it was easy for her to find one.It was about 5 pm when she reached Osbury. The sky had a crimson hue to it, and the sun gradually made its descent, making the world look ever so peaceful. However, Caroline's heart was the opposite of that. When she arrived home, she noticed the pair of men's slippers on the shoe rack. Restless, she placed them in the cabinet to avoid seeing them again. Just as she sat down on the couch, she received a call from Simon. "Mr. Zellen, is something the matter?""Ms. Evans, are you back in Osbury?" "Yes. I just returned." "Mr. Morrison Senior asked for you to come to the hospital." Caroline recalled what Gwen told her, and her heart jumped into her throat. "Is Grandpa okay?" "It's not him." Sim
Caroline turned to look at him. "What?""Didn't you promise Grandpa that you'd take care of me?" Eddy stared at her with anxious eyes. "Don't tell me you're breaking your promise." Caroline didn't feel like entertaining him. She simply walked out of the room to ask the bodyguards where the kitchen was. One of them led her straight to the kitchen, which was full of a variety of vegetables, poultry, and meat. Everything had been rinsed and cleaned beforehand. All Caroline had to do was cook. Before this, she'd been in charge of all three of Eddy's meals every day. Naturally, she knew his preferences. Now, though, she didn't want to cook based on that anymore. She'd be cooking whatever she wanted! After half an hour, the bodyguard brought two dishes into Eddy's room. Both of them were steamed asparagus. Eddy's face contorted in disgust at the sight of them. "What else did you cook?" "Nothing." Picking up her plate of asparagus, Caroline sat at the table and started eating the
Kirk picked up his phone and made a call. "Bring Blue Moon over."Sean gasped. Blue Moon was the most expensive diamond ring in the world.Back in the day, Ivan had bought Blue Moon for his wife to thank her for helping him build his business. The ring had cost a whopping 300 million dollars. Before she'd passed away, she'd given the ring back to Ivan. She said it was meant for their future daughter-in-law.By doing this, Kirk was …On the other end of the call, Ivan sounded very moved. "Alright, I'll arrange to have it sent to you immediately!"…At the hospital, Eddy finished eating his steamed asparagus with disdain.Once the bodyguard took the plate away, Caroline got up to leave as well.Seeing that, Eddy blurted out, "Where are you going?""Home," Caroline replied."But Grandpa asked you to take care of me.""Grandpa only asked me to take care of your food. From tomorrow on, I'll bring you meals."Eddy's expression, which had been one of disappointment seconds a
Kirk's eyes narrowed."Are you going to join the design competition too?""Yes." Caroline walked out after washing up. She kept her head down and didn't look at Kirk. After thinking about it, she hid in the kitchen. "What would you like to eat?"Kirk leaned against the glass kitchen door. "Sleep first. I'll buy you breakfast.""I can't." Caroline sniffed. "I have to send food for Eddy too."Kirk's gaze darkened. "You're sending him food?"Kirk had just returned from the hospital. He'd already found out that Eddy had been admitted yesterday."Yes. He's very picky with food." Caroline had experienced it firsthand. Eddy would make a huge fuss if the food wasn't to his liking. "Enough talk. Wait outside; breakfast will be done in a bit."Caroline didn't want to spend time with Kirk under the same roof.Kirk suppressed his displeasure. "Do you still care about him?"The noise of the kitchen hood overpowered Kirk's voice. Caroline didn't hear what he'd said. She started cooking.T
"Hey, just ignore her. She's nearly gone mad after the gossip about her marriage to Mr. Morrison being a mistake." Gwen hurriedly opened the food container with her supper. She inhaled. "It smells great. Carol, it's been a long time since I've had your cooking!"Caroline glanced at the parking lot. "You go ahead and eat. I'm going to take some supper to Kirk.""Why the rush? Don't you want to wait until that crazy Brie leaves?"Caroline smiled. "I can guess who she's here to see. I won't bump into her.""Alright, sure." Gwen's attention was on the food. "Go ahead then."Caroline got up and headed to the parking lot with the food container. Then, she went to the Morrison Corporation building.She'd used to bring food for Eddy when he'd done overtime before. She'd gotten used to how coldly he treated her.Yet she felt nervous as she stood there tonight."Ms. Evans!"The security guard recognized Caroline at a glance. He sounded sympathetic as he said, "Are you bringing Mr. Edd
