Chapter 365

Daphne held the phone in shock. She couldn’t believe her ears. Then, after realizing what happened, she ran around with the phone in her hand, screaming, “Ah! Mr. Kirk is coming to my banquet! Yeah!”

Her manager heard her screams. After Daphne was done expressing her excitement, her manager asked, “Is Mr. Kirk really coming?”

“That’s right.” Daphne had told everyone that Kirk might attend the banquet because she hadn’t thought he would actually come.

Moreover, she was already prepared. If anyone asked her why Kirk wasn’t at the banquet, she could use his work as an excuse.

She had called him just now to gauge his mood. Unexpectedly, Kirk had really agreed to come. But wait a minute! The voice on the phone didn’t sound like Charles‘. The thought briefly crossed Daphne’s mind, but she quickly forgot about it.

She jumped down from the couch and hurried to the dressing room. “Call the makeup team here immediately. I have to look my best today.”

Kirk and Sean’s wife would be attending her banquet. It was an honor for her to have this news spread like wildfire.

As night fell, Caroline and Cheryl walked out of the office together.

“The advertising department is planning to hire Daphne.”

Cheryl said after thinking for, a moment, “Today, the head of the advertising department asked if Daphne is really the wife of Eddy’s second uncle.”

Caroline asked, “Do they want me to bring this up to Mr. Morrison Senior?”

Cheryl scratched her head. “Yeah…”

After saying that, she glanced at Caroline and said, “Actually, it would be a good thing for us if we managed to hire Daphne, wouldn’t it?”

Daphne was the most popular figure right now because she was Eddy’s second uncle’s wife.

Caroline smiled and shook her head. “Ignore them. We must hire a suitable spokesperson, not a famous one. If that department head can’t see the problem, he can resign right then and there.”

Cheryl immediately understood what Caroline meant. She had no intention of hiring Daphne.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the underground parking lot.

After Caroline got into the car, she said to Cheryl, who was standing outside the car, “Get in the +15 BONUS car. Mr. Jack will take you home.”

Cheryl glanced at Jack in the car, her heart pounding. “I–It’s not out of the way, is it?”

“Of course not.”

Caroline reassured, “I’m going to pick up my dress, and your place is on the way.”

Cheryl curled her lips into a small smile upon hearing this. She obediently opened the door and got in the car. “Thank you, Mr. Jack.”

She looked at Caroline and thanked her, saying, “And thank you, Caroline.”

Caroline noticed the blush on Cheryl’s face and froze. She then looked over at Jack and immediately understood the situation. However, she didn’t say a single thing.

Along the way, Caroline looked in the rearview and saw Cheryl sneaking glances at Jack occasionally.

Her shy look reminded Caroline of herself. Then, she immediately thought of Kirk. And just like that, the floodgates of her emotions were opened, surging like a wave. Her mind became flooded with memories of Kirk. His cautious expression, the look in his eyes when he begged for forgiveness, and the contours of his face…

These thoughts played in Caroline’s mind over and over. She bit her lip and looked outside the window, watching the cars driving past them. She was lost in thought, even when the car had stopped.

“Ms. Evans?” Jack called, looking at Caroline in the mirror with concern.

Caroline pulled away from her thoughts and met Jack’s eyes in the mirror. “Are you all right?” He asked.
