Chapter 318

Caroline was half awake, and she didn’t feel as if she was lying in bed. Instead, she fell as if she were lying in a bed of flowers, and she could sorell all kinds of scents.

She finally woke up and tapped Kirk’s chin lightly with her lingers.

Kirk nodded slightly and placed a kiss on her fingers. “Are you okay?

“To hist hungry,” Caroline replied.

Kirk smiled softly. “I’ll ask Charles to bring some lood over.”

“Isn’t he off work at this hour?”

“Not yet,” Kirk picked up his phone and sent Charles a message. Then, he put his phone back on the bedside table.

He said, “He’ll be here in 15 minutes. I’ll go downstairs and get you a plece of toast now.”

“It’s okay,” Caroline sat up with a blush.

She looked into Kirk’s eyes and pondered for a moment. “I need to talk to you about something.”

“What is it?”

“I want to talk about ……”

Caroline looked away and sald hesitantly, “Mr. Jack’s crush on me At the mention of this, she looked back at Kirk and assured him, “Don’t worry. We’ll never see each other again.”

Kirk tucked her wet hair behind her ears. He said, “I’m not that pelty. I’ve already talked about it with him. He’ll continue to be your driver.”

Caroline blinked at his words.

Kirk continued, “Besides, Isn’t it normal for someone to have a crush on you, darling? You’re so outstanding, after all”

Caroline blinked again and said hesitantly, “But “But what?”

*Sean said you’ll feel inferior. Caroline said. Back then, there had been nothing between her and Adrian. However, there had been a scandal, and Kirk had even gone drinking because he felt inferior.

But this time, Jack really had a crush on her.

Kirk froze, and then he pressed his forehead against Caroline’s.

“Me? Inferior?” His voice was low and deep, stirring up tenderness and charm.

Caroline blushed.

Kirk hooked his fingers with Caroline’s and sald somewhat happily. “Did I manage to charm you, darling?”

Caroline was speechless. His fingers reached under the blanket, and she fell a cold touch at her waist.

She hurriedly said, “Charles will be Kirk picked up his phone and sent Charles a message. “I’ll ask him to leave the food at the door.”

Caroline was dumbfounded.

It was already 10:00 pm when they got out of bed and started eating. Wrapped in a bathrobe, Caroline sat across from Kirk, listening to his voice rolling out in the kitchen.

Kirk explained, “Jack is a fighting champion. He’ll do a good job protecting you, so you should let him stay by your side.”

“But that would feel like I’m using him.”

You wont. You can just pay him a salary. Filk smiled.

allet on Caroline’s plate. “I think he il be delighted.”

Okay, I’ll ask him tomorrow”

Don’t wa Kuk suggested, “Ask him right now. Aren’t you going to make sweeping changes to the company tomorrow? I’m worried that those fumatics will go against you‘

Caroline held her fork and stared at Kirk, perplexed. She asked, “How do you know I’m going to do that?” She had never told Kirk what she Wanted to do in Evans Group this entire time, Kirk palled his chest and joked, “Call it a spouse’s intuition.”

Caroline smiled at his words.

“You should go to bed soon. You have to fight a tough battle tomorrow,” Kirk advised.

He put another plece of meal on Caroline’s plate. “And eat some more food.”

He worked so hard to make Caroline gain some weight, but that weight would probably be gone from the stress of working at Evans Group.

“Okay” Caroline continued eating and tried to suppress her smile, Finally, she could no longer hold it back, and a large grin spread on her face, The next day, Caroline saw Jack’s car in front of her house. She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the car.

Neither of them spoke as if nothing had changed. Last night, they reached an agreement that Jack would join Evans Group and become her full–time driver.

Jack’s words completely quelled Caroline’s worries. He said he wasn’t staying because of his former crush on her but because he wanted to live an ordinary life, In the past, he had only known the life of a fighter, and he had lost many chances to enjoy himself.

Having a regular job would make it easier for him to have an ordinary lifestyle.

Most importantly, he sounded tactful and appropriate, without a hint of conflict or complaint. Their relationship was utterly professional which freed Caroline from her worries, In the car, Caroline first made several phone calls to the recruiting company to finalize the interview details for the afternoon.

She then took the time to contact several companies‘ bosses with whom she had built bridges during her time at Thorne Corp.

By the time she was done, she was almost at the company. She thought for a moment before saying, “Can you come upstairs with me, Mr. Jack Jack nodded, “Of course.” This morning, Kirk had specifically ordered him to protect Caroline.

The ed side by side to the elevator, it was rush hour right now. There were many companies on the floor where Evans Group was yees who were going to work blocked the elevator entrance.

Taking advantage of the time, Caroline took out the list of employees at Evans Group and made some notes.

At this moment, several men who looked like renovators came in carrying ladders and tools, making the already narrow passageway even more congested.

Some people couldn’t help complaining, “Which floor is having a renovation so soon in the morning?”

“It seems to be the 24th Boor.”

Someone replied, “I heard someone took over the entire floor, and they’re going to open an apparel company.”

“Using an entire floor? That’s amazing.”

What’s right. A big boss must have cought it While they were chatting, Caroline had already entered the elevator. Soon, the elevator reached the 23rd floor. She left the elevator and immediately saw Emery putting on makeup at the front desk.

Emery also saw Caroline and stopped her movements quiltly. Then, she continued to put on her eye makeup as if no one else was around.

Caroline gave her another glance, then walked into the office lobby.

In the lobby, everyone was slacking off. Caroline looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already 9:30 am. She couldn’t believe they were slacking off just after working for half an hour.

She gently placed her bag on the table and ordered. “Call everyone out here!”

Everyone lazily looked up at Caroline, but no one moved.

At this moment, two people walked in the door. One of them was Luke, and the other was Tom. When they saw Caroline, they smiled brightly.

“You’re so hardworking to be here early in the moming. Ms. Evans. We were afraid we wouldn’t see you if we came early.”

Caroline asked. “Is there something I can help you with?”

“We’re here to discuss our divestment.

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone looked at Caroline gloatingly.

Caroline coldly looked back at everyone and said, “All right Everyone was slightly startled by her gaze.
