Boris smiled. âDonât thank me just yet. I didnât do anything. It was your husband who took the lead for you.â
Caroline froze. My husband? That would be David. He actually did something good? No way.
âMr. Boris, you canât just lie to flatter David in front of me,â Caroline scoffed. âThereâs no way he cares about my wellâbeing.â
Boris clicked his tongue twice. The way Caroline sees David is so dark. It seems David still has a long way to go in winning her over.
âIâm not flattering him. Iâm telling the truth,â Boris replied. âYes, when the incident happened, David didnât help you. In fact, he publicly humiliated you by throwing alcohol in your face. But privately, he didnât go easy on Andrew.â
Caroline was skeptical.
âYouâve been married to him, so you know Davidâs character. Thatâs just how he is. Sometimes, I donât even know what he wants.â
âAlright,â Caroline answered. âThat does sound like something heâd do.â
Maybe David enjoyed humiliating her in public, but then secretly dealt with those who plotted against her. He would only allow himself to be the one to bully her.
Others werenât allowed to do so.
Caroline belonged to David.
âActually, him doing all that means he cares about you,â Boris lowered his voice. âCaroline, getting into Davidâs heart isnât easy.â
âI donât want to get into his heart, Mr. Boris.â
âBut heâs let you in.â
Caroline countered, âMr. Boris, are you saying that heâs already deeply in love with me?â
Boris answered with complete certainty. âYes.â
This left Caroline speechless.
By the time she regained her senses, Boris had already turned and left.
Caroline stood at her desk, frozen, unable to process what had just been said.
David loves me? Could a man like him, someone as devilish as he is, really fall in love with someone? And heâs fallen for me⦠What would it be like to be loved by David?
Caroline felt a chill run through her, and goosebumps rose on her arms.
Whether it was true or not, this was not a good thing for her.

âCaroline. Caroline?â Anna tugged at her. âSit down, why are you just standing there?â
âOh, alrightâ¦â Caroline stiffly sat back down at her desk.
âLooks like we might have to stay late today,â Anna said. âYouâve been on leave these past few days, so work has piled up. You didnât even go to the lab. But itâs alright, Iâll stay and help you.â
âThank you, Anna.â
âNo problem. But Caroline, what did you do while you were on leave?â
âI wasnât feeling well, so I stayed home to rest.â
Anna leaned in. âWas Mr. Ellison treating you badly again? Is he plotting something to make your life difficult?â
Not wanting to worry her best friend, Caroline shook her head. âNo.â
âUgh, I just wish I had the ability to stand up for you,â Anna said. âBut if Mr. Ellison gets too much, donât take it all on yourself. Let me know, and Iâll put everything on the line to stand up for you.â
Caroline took her hand. âYou should keep your life, and stay with me tonight to work.â
Just then, Andrew walked over.
