Chapter 481 That’s My Business Caroline had no interest in engaging in small talk with him.

“Why are you texting me? Caroline asked bluntly.

Casey smiled but remained silent. He signaled the waitress, saying, “Can she have a coffee?”

“I don’t want coffee. A lemon–infused water will do,” Caroline declined, The waitress nodded. “Of course.”

Casey grinned and asked, “Are you in a hurry to leave?”

Caroline looked at him coldly. “I still have a lot to do. Can you talk now?”

Casey took a sip of his coffee, still smiling. “So, does this mean you won’t reach out to me unless I reach out to you first, Ms. Shenton?”

“You should know I’m extremely busy, Mr. Jordan, Caroline replied with a slightly serious tone.

Casey said, “I have a plan to shut down MK’s clothing factory, but I need your help with something.”

Caroline reluctantly agreed. “Fine, but I have a question.”

Casey said, “Go ahead.”

Caroline asked, “What’s your relationship with Daniella?”

Casey didn’t expect such a direct question. “Did you see us together?”

“That’s my concern. Just answer the question, Caroline insisted.

Casey admitted, “We’re just friends.”

“Did you tell Danielle about your encounter with Jamie? Caroline asked.

“Ms. Shenton, that’s your second question. If you want more answers, you’ll have to impress me during our date.” Casey teased with a twinkle in his eye.

He stood up first, stating, “Il send you the date details. That wraps up our meeting for tonight.”

With that, he left..
