"I'll take you home." Jake said as he approached Caroline's desk when it was time to go home.Caroline stared with narrowed eyes. Her brow furrowed as she stared at the man. Didn't they hate each other? Why was Jake suddenly kind enough to take her home? What other plans were he making?"I can do it myself." Caroline refused."I'll still take you home." Jake insisted."Mind your own business.""I don't want you to go back to flirting with Uncle Jared, so I need to make sure you don't go home with him this afternoon.""He and I have nothing more to do, so why should I go home with him?" Caroline was adamant that she didn't want a ride home. She would take a taxi home so that her life could be a little more peaceful.The cell phone on the table chimed, an incoming message from Jared.Jared: I'll be waiting in the parking lot; I'll take you home.Caroline sighed after skimming the message. She didn't reply to it, and she didn't want to respond to Jared's words at all. She was determined

Jake left for work early in the morning. His car was parked in the courtyard of Caroline's apartment before Jared got there.

She thought she could take a taxi this morning, so she wouldn't have to spend her energy arguing with someone she hated.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Caroline's number."You

Jared asked Caroline to accompany him to the shopping center today. If it wasn't for the big paycheck Jared offered, Caroline wouldn't have wanted to accompany him. Especially since it was Sunday, she wanted to rest and relax at home before going back to work tomorrow morning as usual.Caroline selected all the items on the order list. Jared, Thalius, and Donny seemed to follow behind while pushing the shopping cart.Thalius looked confused because this was the first time they were asked to participate in shopping for home needs. Usually, it was the housemaids who did that."It looks like Mr. Jared is really in love." Donny whispered to Thalius. They had been watching Jared since earlier. Their boss never took his eyes off Caroline at all. Jared's gaze and focus were always on her. He didn't even blink."Uncle, I don't think the fruit here is fresh enough." Caroline turned to look at Jared after she had selected the fruit."Do you have any recommendations for a good place to shop?" Ja

"What are you talking about, Uncle? There's no way I still like him. You can't be kidding." Caroline laughed to cover up her true feelings. If she had her way, she would still love Jake. However, for the sake of pride, she would never want to admit that. Until death, she would never want to go back to Jake.Jared understood. He understood that Caroline actually still loved Jake. However, he appreciated the fake answer Caroline gave.They continued to walk towards the parking lot a little awkwardly. Just about to get into the car, their steps were stopped by Jake. Jake ran over, and behind her seemed to be Emily struggling to catch up."I'm coming, Uncle!" Jake pleaded desperately."This has nothing to do with you." Caroline forbade."I have to make sure that you won't brainwash Uncle Jared. The closer he gets to you, the more ruthless he becomes towards me. I don't want my place in my uncle's heart to be replaced by you. I love my uncle. We had a good relationship before you came alon

"Here's your credit card, Uncle." Caroline said as she handed over Jared's credit card after she had paid the bill. She joined them, sitting in the chair opposite Jake."You can go home," Jake said."I'll be home after lunch." Caroline refused."No, you have to stay with me for the whole day. I promise I'll pay you if you want to stay with me for a day." Jared reminded."But Uncle, I want us to spend the day alone without her." Jake tried to persuade his uncle. He really didn't want Caroline and Jared to get closer. So, he would do everything possible to thwart their plans."Why don't we spend some time together? Your relationship with Caroline could improve. You could be friends instead of enemies like you are now.""Never!" Jake and Caroline replied simultaneously. Both looked very unhappy with Jared's offer. It seemed that they would remain enemies forever.Although both answered at the same time, Jared smiled at their answers. "It seems like you guys still have a bond. Several tim

"See you tomorrow morning; I'll pick you up as usual. No refusals." Jared said, with emphasis, to Caroline. He didn't want to miss out like that time. Caroline left for work early in the morning just to avoid seeing him.Caroline gave a small nod, about to get out of the car."Carol." Jared held her back. "I hope you didn't take offense to what Jake said to you earlier." The man said it carefully. He was afraid his words would hurt Caroline."Don't you think about it; I don't care." Caroline said it indifferently. Although she said that she didn't care, Jake's words had really pierced her heart."Good, I was just worrying too much." Jared smiled at her.Caroline no longer answered; she opened the door and wanted to leave quickly. However, Jared stopped her again."Here's your pay for today." Jared handed over two thousand dollars."Thank you." Caroline smiled and said it, then hurried downstairs before Jared could stop her again.***"Uncle, have you been waiting here since morning?"

"Caroline, I'm having a birthday party at my house tonight. Would you like to come?" Lenzy walked over when she found Caroline eating lunch alone in the office cafeteria."I can't promise." Caroline replied as she continued chewing. She did not even turn her head at all, as she felt Lenzy was not that important."I really wish you could come." Lenzy made a pitiable face."I can't decide right now. I have a lot of work." Caroline tried to find an excuse. She didn't want the hassle of attending Lenzy's birthday party. Moreover, if she had to bring a gift, it would be a source of expense. Meanwhile, she had to save money to pay off her father's accumulated debts."I beg you. I already told my parents that you're coming." Lenzy continued to plead."You shouldn't make a decision before asking.""I will pay you." Lenzy knew Caroline's weakness was money.Caroline stopped chewing. She turned her head, looking at Lenzy with a determined look. "Five thousand dollars.""Five thousand dollars? D

Caroline sighed harshly. She looked left and right at the side of the road, hoping Jared's car would come. She was very nervous now, feeling anxious because it was almost nine o'clock at night. She was worried that Jared would forget their appointment because he wasn't usually this late.The cell phone in her hand rang, and Lenzy's name was on the screen as the caller. She could already guess why Lenzy was calling her. She had resigned herself to being scolded, and Lenzy was asking for her money back."Where are you guys right now? The party is about to start." Lenzy's voice sounded panicked.Caroline was silent as she bit the tips of her fingernails. She didn't know what to answer. She thought she could get Jared to attend the party, just like Lenzy had trusted her. But reality was far from it. She was also annoyed that Jared had gotten her hopes up. If he couldn't, Jared should have been honest."Sorry, Lenzy. I don't think I can come to your party." Caroline said it hesitantly."Wh

"Yes! We'll leave as soon as possible. I'm really looking forward to spending time with you on the beach and enjoying all the beauty of Bali," Caroline said, feeling equally happy."Me too!

Jared sighed, sensing the sadness in Caroline's heart. He understood how important the relationship between the sisters was. "I know, Carol. But we'll see each other again soon.

Is it small enough?" replied Aalya in a joking tone, showing the cut vegetables that didn't quite meet Caroline's criteria."Yes, yes, good. I just remembered we have to prepare dessert.

After a dark period that almost took Caroline's life, she is now lying in a comfortable hospital bed, surrounded by modern medical equipment and the pungent smell of antiseptics. However, within the room, there is one thing that gives her peace of mind: the presence of Jared beside her.Jared sat in a chair next to the bed, his eyes never leaving Caroline's face.
