    Carole Looked up at Kirk, min tres looking at his fablet on the couch. Then she took another


    where


    Sock at the design sketches in the organizer’s post


    “It was youCaroline got up


    When Kirk heard he voice, he looked up at her He asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “You’re the one who gave the evidence to the organizers overnight, right?” Caroline choked up, feeling


    emotional


    “Yes,” Kirk answered honestly


    Having mixed feelings, Caroline asked, “And you asked Mr. Strauss to post those photos?”


    Kirk silently looked at Caroline, confirming her ims.


    Caroline didn’t know what to say She didn’t know how to thank him for helping her. If it weren’t for Brie


    standing between them, maybe she would reconsider their agreement.


    Her phone rang, interrupting Caroline’s thoughts. She nced at it to see that Gwen was calling her


    Gwen was incoherent with excitement. “Carol, did you already know this was going to happen?”


    After her meeting, Gwen had rushed to log into her Facebook ount, nning to fight against those


    online haters


    Unexpectedly, the tables had already turned by then. Gwen couldn’t believe how fast the situation


    changed She’d just been gone for a short meeting.


    Caroline smiled merrily, secretly ncing at Kirk. She said, “No way, it’s not like I can predict the


    situation’s development.”


    Gwen asked, “But it’s obvious that the PR team had something to do with this fast turnaround Are you


    sure this isn’t your handiwork, Carol?”


    “Maybe for Mr. Strauss, but I don’t know any organizers. There’s no way I can do anything,” Caroline


    said


    Gwen thought Caroline’s words made sense. She stroked her chin and giggled. “Carol, maybe


    someone in those brands‘panies has a crush on you, and they stood up for you when they saw


    **** you been devels” Caroline teased with a smile.


    Thee, she teed Gwen’s mations of surprise Holy fuck! Carol, look! These makeup brands


    have merged”


    Carole saw headline notifications from several social media tforms.

    “A shocking new era for the cosmetics industry‘ Several major makeup brands have merged!”


    “Breaking news! Theme Corporation acquired several major makeup brands and made them a


    subsidiary


    ording to inster sources, Thorne Corporation is a newly–established foreign investmentpany,


    and the boss is very likely to be Eddy Morrison’s second uncle.”


    It took Caroline a long time to recover from her shock.


    Eddy’s second uncle had actually bought several major makeup brands in such a short time. Not many


    people could match his heavy–handedness and grandeur.


    “Hey Gwen saw the news as well She mused, “Maybe Eddy’s second uncle has a crush on you and


    helped you with the PR team”


    Charter An


    Caulis valled Dee in reper to be imes before hanging up the phone.

    “It’s all good as long as the truth is out.”

    “Just as we’d announced, there’s a special bonus for the winner: a lifetime contract as the design


    director at ourpany Are you interested in our offer, Ms. Evans?”


    Caroline’s breath got caught.


    All she wanted was a job, and this special bonus was exactly what she wanted! It was a big


    coincidence.


    She agreed happily. “Of course, joining yourpany would be an honor!”


    Thorne Corporation was a merged enterprise with Eddy’s second uncle at the helm. Thepany was


    bound to thrive Caroline hadn’t thought that it would be possible to join it.


    Jules breathed a sigh of relief. “If there’s anything else we can do to make it up to you, please say the


    word”


    Caroline smiled. “No, that’s all right. I would like to thank you for getting to the bottom of this situation


    so quickly.”
