Chapter 104
Caroline clicked on thements section to see rows ofpliments.
“Wow! La’s design is so pretty! When will the brands use this design for their packaging? I’m
definitely going to buy more!”
“I only focus on the ingredients of the products, but this design is simply gorgeous. If they use her
design, I’d be the first to grab one!”
“Back then, I thought that the Evans family only had one daughter, Caroline. Who knew that they had
another one called La? She even won the first prize, yet Caroline only got second. It seems to me
that La is better than Caroline.”
“Eddy Morrison’s taste says it all.”
“Yep, we’re so far behindpared to her. Eddy Morrison’s choice could never go wrong! Even though
the Morrisons haven’t made an official announcement about their rtionship yet, we’ve seen pictures
of him going out to meet La.”
“The thing is that Lapleted this design even though she’s sick! Caroline can’t even bepared
to a patient. She must’ve gone mad from thinking about Eddy Morrison all day, every day.”
Thements made Gwen so furious that she started rolling up her sleeves. She looked as if she
were ready to battle the people who’d made thements.
Noticing this, Carolineughed and put a hand on her arm to calm her down. “Don’t worry. A good
show will begin very soon.”
At the hospital, Eddy nced at the trophy on La’sp and gave her a thumbs up. “Awesome! You
won first ce!”
La smiled, embarrassed at his praise. “Do you have a reward for me then?”
“What kind of reward do you want?” 1

Bowing her head, La muttered, “I want you to congratte me on Twitter.”
“That simple?”
“Yep.”
“Sure!” Eddy agreed. He took a photo of her with the trophy and started editing the picture.
“This is a happy asion. It’s only natural that I congratte you. Besides, you’ll get the chance to
work at my second uncle’spany after this.”
La blinked several times at him as she tried to digest this piece of information. “What does this
contest have to do with him
By now, Eddy was done editing his post and had uploaded it online.
“It’s confidential, but telling you about it isn’t that big of a deal. Anyway, he’ll make an official
announcement about it tonight. He bought those brands, and the contest was held to create
momentum by capturing the attention of the public before the merger.
Eddy continued, “Besides the prize money, there’s another special reward too. You know that, right?”
La was so astonished that she couldn’t say anything in response. All she could do was nod.
“The reward is for the winner to join thepany as their design manager after the merger.”
“A design manager?” Once again, La was so shocked that she couldn’t utter another word,
To be the design manager of thepany after the merger and that too, at apany owned by
Eddy’s second uncle!
La imagined herself standing on a stage with a global audience. “This isn’t a joke, right?” She
eximed.
“Of course not!” Eddyughed. “But you can’t tell anyone about it yet. You’ll have to wait until the official
announcement is made.”
By now, La was so thrilled that her fingers had started trembling. She’d never expected a simple
contest to benefit her this much! She’d be the jewel of the Evans family in the future!
After the announcement of the contest results, she and Gwen had gone to a restaurant for food and
ordered some wine to go with it
They hadn’t drunk much, but the amount of alcohol Caroline had consumed was enough to make her a
little woor
Slowly, she made her way upstairs to get ready to go to bed. As she was brushing her teeth, she heard
a car honk and then the sound of hurried footsteps.
“Caroline
The door to the bathroom was shoved open.
With her toothbrush still in her mouth, she cocked her head to one side to see Kirk panting in the
doorway.
He was wearing a ck suit, and he looked very smart in it. The first few buttons on his cor were
unbuttoned, and the open cor revealed his corbones beneath
Caroline smiled sluggishly at him. “You’re back”
Kirk watched her, concerned. The first thing he’d found out after he’d gotten off the ne was that
Caroline hade in second ce in
the contest
He’d taken one look at the design that had won first ce and instantly knew what had happened.
After that, he’d rushed home from the airport right away. He was in such a hurry that he’d forgotten to
change his clothes.
Caroline continued brushing her teeth. She noticed Kirk still standing by the door and tossed him a
bright smile. “Why didn’t you tell me that you wereing home? I have something to ask you.”
She approached him, and Kirk caught the scent of wine on her
“You’re drunk?” He asked
“Nope. I’m pretty much sober.”
She took out her phone and opened WhatsApp. “Look, this is my father, he called me useless, And
here, my mom said she was disappointed in me. She said her efforts had all gone down the drain. This
is-
There were over 99 unopened messages. Most of it was from the Evans family, and all of them were
compimenting La and scoffing at Caroline
Scrolling through them, Kirk made a mental note of their names, blocked them and deleted at of their
chats.
Caroline watched him as he did so and giggled. “That’s not necessary. I’m not upset. They showed me
their true faces through these chats,
Kirk simply hugged her and said nothing
A momentter, he could feel the warmth seeping through his shirt, In a routed voice, Caroline said,
‘I’m not sad in the least. La stole my design and got first ce. If I share my draft with the pubuk, I
can prove that she’s a thief.”
Caroline sniffed. “I don’t feel anything, even though everyone’s congratting her. But why, Eddy, why
Kirk’s hand, which had been stroking her head, froze abruptly. Caroline’s voice was soft as she
comined to him, so he couldn’t make out the words after that
When he looked down at her, he saw that her eyes were shut tight and her eyshes were wel
His heart turned into a jumbled mess
She’d liked Eddy for eight years and still couldn’t let go of him.
After a while, he slowly lifted her up and gently ced her on the bed. He then nted a tizz on her
vehead
Suddenly, her phone lit up on the bedside table. He turned to take a look at it and saw that it was a
message ham tady It read, “Congrattions on getting second ce”
On the other hand, Eddy regretted it the moment he’d sent the message. He wanted to unsend it, but it
was toote.
He’d only realized that Caroline had gotten second ce when he’d been scrolling through the
contest’s official page just now. His eyes turned as wide as saucers when he saw her design.
He’d never thought that she coulde up with such a brilliant design! He’d only known her as
someone who just knew how to cook and do household chores.
From an outsider’s point of view, he thought that her design was better than La’s.
The two women didn’t have any experience in the field, so it was hard topare them. Still, the
concept and philosophy behind Caroline’s design were impable.
Sometimes, this was what captured the consumers‘ hearts and made them willing to spend more.
A few minutester, he’d still gotten no reply from her. He was worried that she would overthink his
message, so he sent her another one.
“I didn’t mean to congratte you. I’m just bored.”
