Chapter 251

Standing up, Kirk walked and stopped in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows. He glanced down to look at the people milling stot To him, supporting another company was a piece of cake. He could help Caroline out, no matter what she wanted to do.

It finally dawned on Charles why Kirk had wanted Evans Group’s information back then.

“If you help her, Evans Group will surely come back to life,” he said.

Kirk’s back faced Charles, and he raised and shook a finger in the air. “Well I think my wife can bring Evans Group back to life on her own.”

Kirk’s judgment and premonition in business had always been error–free, but Charles didn’t agree with him this time.

It wasn’t that he looked down on Caroline, but the problem that Evans Group faced was simply too big.

Even for him, it was much too severe to handle.

It would be easier to start a new business instead of taking it over.

“You don’t believe me?” Kirk glanced sideways at Charles, which almost made the latter jump in fright.

Charles fell silent. He thought that Kirk was now completely blinded by love and that he’d be mad at him if he said that he didn’t believe what he said.

Kirk read his mind but didn’t point it out. He simply changed the topic and said, “Find a way to send her the information you gathered. Remember not to let her find out that we’re behind this.”

“Okay.”

Just as Caroline got off work, she received a call from Adrian. “I’m downstairs,” he said.

She checked the time and asked, astonished, “Already?”

Adrian chuckled. “It wouldn’t be very courteous of me to make you wait.”

“Gimme a moment. I’ll go down in a few,” said Caroline as she packed her things hurriedly.

“Okay.” Adrian then hung up and waited patiently for her.

The car he was driving today was a luxury car, and it caught the attention of many around him.

“Huh? Isn’t that the head of the food department?”

“Yeah! Holy cow! Is he really so rich? That’s a Maserati!”

“Really?”

“Yes! It has Maserati’s logo on it!”

Caroline came downstairs to see a crowd gathered at the entrance.

She instantly assumed that something had happened to the company again and that the journalists would come after the gossip too.

When she arrived at the door, she realized that the people were commenting about a luxury car.

“Why hasn’t it left? Who is he waiting for?”

“Oh my gosh! I knew he was handsome all along! Back then, I thought that there would be no future for him since he’s just a chet, but I was so wrong!*

“I regret it now. If only I’d known that he was so rich, I’d have gone after him.”

Confused, Caroline followed their gazes to look at the luxury car. The car door opened, and out stepped Adrian in his chef’s whites.

It occurred to her that this was why she found him so familiar back then.

Wasn’t he the one who had told her that he wouldn’t lie to her when she had been making pizza that day?

Good gracious! If recognizing people’s faces was a test, she would have failed a long time ago.
