Chapter 605
Bogus Billionaire
It was quiet in the room for half a minute before Charles regained his voice.
âI Sir, why donât I have someone dig Ms. Weiss up now?â
This would have been easy if they were back in Sarcozia. But in Easton â¦
But this was for Kirkâs future happiness!
Kirkâs tone was indifferent as he said, âIs there enough time?â
Charles scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.
Kirk stood up.
Charles immediately followed after him. âSir, are you not contacting Ms. Weiss anymore?â
Kirk put out his cigar. âWhat do you think?â he asked.
All Charles could do was keep scratching his head. He really didnât know what to say. âShould I still keep looking?â he finally asked.
Kirk shot a look at Charles, prompting the former to glance at him in unease.
Letting out a mouthful of smoke, Kirk took a few steps before turning back. He said pointedly,â You donât need to get involved in this anymore.â
Charles was overjoyed as he caught up to Kirk. He buttered him up, saying, âSir, youâre so marvelous. You have a plan already. Could you tell me what it is?â
Kirk stared at Charles and asked, âDo you really want to know what my plan is?â
Charles bobbed his head up and down.
Kirk let out a laugh. âIâm going to use you as a sacrifice.â
The smile on Charlesâ face melted away. âWhat?â
But Kirk had already left, completely ignoring Charles, who had panic written on his face a ways behind.
Caroline got out of bed early the next morning. No matter how careful she was, she still managed to wake Kirk.
Kirk had gotten home very late last night, with the smell of smoke sticking to his body. Although he didnât say anything, Caroline had been able to tell that he had been in a very bad mood.
Since it had been too late last night, she had wanted to ask him about it this morning when they were both up.
Kirk got out of the bed and asked, âAre you going out for groceries?â
Today was the day that Marietta would come over for a meal.
âYes.â Caroline turned and gave Kirk a sweet smile.
âGo back to sleep. Aunt Mary wonât be here so early.â
Kirk replied, âI wonât go back to sleep. Let me go and shop with you.â
âThereâs no need.â Caroline was wrapping her scarf around her neck.
âIâll be home soon.â
Kirk demurred. âThat wonât do. How could I possibly let my wife do such hard work?â
Caroline responded with a laugh. âIâm not some hothouse flower. Go back to sleep. You came home really late last night. Does the company have a lot of work for you?â
However, Kirk had already gotten out of bed and changed. He walked before Caroline and hugged her waist. Then, he rubbed his face on her lips before being satisfied enough to let her go.
âYes. Things have been really busy at work recently. Letâs go.â
Helpless, Caroline could only bring Kirk out with her. However, she insisted on driving rather than let Kirk do it.
In the car, she asked, âDidnât you say you wanted to quit before? With things so busy now, have you thought about quitting again?â
âAre you thinking about giving Mackey Group to me?â
âMackey Group is a broken up mess now thanks to their own people. Thereâs no use in acquiring it.
Caroline found it quite a shame. It would have been perfect if Mackey Group hadnât gone to ruins.
