Chapter 106
After Caroline washed up, she went downstairs to make breakfast.
As she put the tes on the table, she was thinking about how to ask Kirk what he’d meant by not
wanting to be friends. However, when she looked up and saw him, her mind went nk.
Kirk had changed into a casual outfit,cking his usual upper–ss style. He looked more rxed and
carefree.
“What are we eating today?” he asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down at the table.
Caroline hurriedly looked away, her heart beating wildly like a deer in headlights. For a moment, she
felt like they were acting like an old married couple.
She answered, “Pasta. Let me get some for you.”
“I’ll get it myself,” Kirk responded, walking into the kitchen.

Caroline stood where she was, watching Kirk put some pasta on his te with swift movements.
Then, he said, “We’ll meet my dad in a few days.”
Caroline was surprised. “Is your father that anxious to meet me?”
It might take several days to get to the bottom of the issue pertaining to La stealing her design.
Kirk paused. He was the one who was anxious, not Ivan. He asked, “Do you not want to go?”
“Of course not.” Caroline had agreed to meet Kirk’s father, so she wouldn’t go back on her word. She
exined, “But there’s a small problem with thepetition I joined, so I can’t see him until it’s
resolved.” (1
Kirk raised his eyebrows and replied, “Since it’s a small problem, it can be handled quickly. We can go
see him after it’s done.”
Caroline smiled wryly. Things weren’t that easy.
She hadn’t given the evidence to the organizers, and after she gave it to them, she’d still need to wait
for them to investigate the situation.
It would take them at least a week to get to the bottom of things.
As soon as Caroline sat down, she got a call from Gwen
Motherfucker I’ve never met someone as shameless as La” Gwen yelled She was so angry
that her nostris red
‘She made a post on Facebook saying that she identally broke one of your things some time
ago, and in retaliation, you hired awyer to sue her and put her in jail!
“That’s just utter bullshit! What is she trying to do by making a false im? Sway everyone’s
opinion of her?
Caroline frowned and opened Facebook on her phone. Sure enough, she saw La in the
headlines
She opened one of the articles, which used Caroline of using awyer to bully La. Below the
articles were hatements directed at Caroline and sympatheticments toward La.
Netizens believed that Caroline was jealous of La winning first ce, so she’d found an excuse
to take revenge on La.
“Carol” Gwen realized something after she’d vented her anger.
She asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t tell me you’re on Facebook. No, don’t look at the
articles andments! Those people don’t know the full story! They mindlessly believe everything they
see.”
Caroline smiled and said, “I’ve already finished reading them. I’m okay. Go to work. Don’t worry about
me.”
Gwen was still worried about her friend. She asked, “Are you sure you’re okay? Why don’t I take a day
off to keep youpany?”
“No, it’s okay,” Caroline replied while eating a mouthful of pasta.
“I know you. Your pleasures in life are earning money and meeting handsome men. You already gave
that up for me once. I’ll feel terrible if you take a day off for me again.
“Don’t worry. This scandal isn’t my first. These nasty rumors andments don’t bother me at all.”
Gwen relented and said, “Okay. I’ll see you after I get off work.”
Even though she’d ended the call, she was still worried about Caroline. After some hesitation, she
called Sean. “Hello?”
Sean answered, “Why are you calling me? Are we going out for food?”
His words dumbfounded Gwen. She’d learned that Sean was a food enthusiast when he’d driven
her homest time. He was more familiar with the delicious food in Osbury than a local like her.
