    Adrian opened the door, smiling at Caroline’s reaction.


    The person in the private room raised his head to see Adrian and Caroline entering the room. Is

    Caroline nodded at him.


    The man was rather friendly and started introducing himself. “Quentin Yach, private detective, I’ve been


    worden in tootedly be par No one can surpass my abilities.”


    His brief introduction amused her. “Pleased to meet you. Just call me Caroline.”


    Adrian watched the two of them from behind.


    He joked, “Don’t be so full of yourself. As the one introducing you two, I’d suffer from second–hand


    smartp.SZEGE manage to embarrass yourselfter.”


    Quentinughed out loud. “Worry not, Mr. Sorkin. If even I can’t get a clue about something, then no


    huma


    Caroline felt very relieved to hear him say that. “I want you to investigate my driver.”


    “Oh? What do you want to know?”


    “What happened was” Caroline briefed Quentin about the incident and told him, “So, I want to know


    why he led to me, sang hat was thepany’s arrangement. Why did he approach me, and what was


    his intention?


    Adrian knitted his brows together. The smile was no longer on his face. “Why don’t you just fire him?Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Caroline blinked, confused. “Why?”


    “First of all, he lied to you. Secondly, his background remains unknown to us, so keeping him by your


    side is like pocketing a toxing some.


    Caroline smiled. “Perhaps it’s because he’s very kind to me. I want to be sure of everything before


    drawing conclusions”


    Adrian pursed his lips, deep in thought. A momentter, he said, “Let me send you to work and fetch


    you home then


    “That’s not necessary.” Caroline politely declined.


    Quentin watched their interaction quietly. After Caroline left for the restroom, he seized the chance to


    ask Adrian. “Are you going after


    “Eat your food,” Adrian said without even ncing up at him.


    Quentin chuckled. “Just go after her if you feel like it. There’s no need to be shy,” he said.


    “Although this would be the first time I’m seeing you go after a woman.”


    Adrian’s head snapped up to stare at him. “She’s married.”


    Immediately, the smile on Quentin’s face faltered. He ced his hand on the back of Adrian’s chair


    “So what? The rate of divorce is so high these days. Who knows if she’ll get divorced someday.”


    “Besides,” he added with a hint of humor. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. A third wheel can only


    stay a th


    an effort for it.”


    Adrian sent a kick in Quentin’s direction, albeit without much force behind it. Quentin grinned and


    dusted the leg of his trousers.


    “It’s not every day you meet someone you like. What’s more, with your status, it’s uncertain if you’ll get


    to meet someone your heart race if you miss the one before you now.”


    An unfathomable expression shed across Adrian’s eyes at his words.


    Just then, Caroline entered the room. “This restaurant’s so huge that I almost got lost just now.”


    Quentin nced at Adrian and asked her, “Ms. Evans, do you like this restaurant?


    +15 BONOS


    I do the intenor design suits my taste.


    “Oh—“Quentin dragged the word out before turning to look at Adrian.


    “What do you think of Mr. Sorkin here, then?” He asked and was immediately awarded a kick under the


    table by Adrian


    Caroline was unaware of the meaning behind Quentin’s words. She simply looked sideways at Adrian


    and gave him herpliments.


    “Naturally, Mr. Sorkin is at the peak of the chain. He’s good–looking, wealthy, and he’s good at cooking


    too.”


    As she spoke, her mind suddenly drifted off to Kirk, and she added, “A man who cooks is quite striking


    to me.”


    Hearing that Quentin started winking to get Adrian’s attention, but Adrian’s eyes already betrayed him,


    for there was a hint of a smite in them. He stopped kicking Quentin under the table after this.


    After chatting for quite a while, Adrian stood up and told Caroline, “Let me send you home.”


    “No, thanks.” Shaking her head, Caroline declined his offer.


    “Jack’s here already.”


    Adrian hesitated for a moment before replying, “Okay.”


    After seeing her off, Quentin clicked his tongue. “What a good wife she is! She doesn’t give other men


    a chance at all, it seems to me that your joumey to win her over would be a tough one indeed, Mr.


    Sorkin.”
