    Chapter 318


    Caroline was half awake, and she didn’t feel as if she was lying in bed. Instead, she fell as if she were


    lying in a bed of flowers, and she could sorell all kinds of scents.


    She finally woke up and tapped Kirk’s chin lightly with her lingers.


    Kirk nodded slightly and ced a kiss on her fingers. “Are you okay?


    “To hist hungry,” Caroline replied.

    Kirk smiled softly. “I’ll ask Charles to bring some lood over.”


    “Isn’t he off work at this hour?”


    “Not yet,” Kirk picked up his phone and sent Charles a message. Then, he put his phone back on the


    bedside table.


    He said, “He’ll be here in 15 minutes. I’ll go downstairs and get you a plece of toast now.”


    “It’s okay,” Caroline sat up with a blush.


    She looked into Kirk’s eyes and pondered for a moment. “I need to talk to you about something.”


    “What is it?”


    “I want to talk about ……”


    Caroline looked away and sald hesitantly, “Mr. Jack’s crush on me


    At the mention of this, she looked back at Kirk and assured him, “Don’t worry. We’ll never see each


    other again.”


    Kirk tucked her wet hair behind her ears. He said, “I’m not that pelty. I’ve already talked about it with


    him. He’ll continue to be your driver.”


    Caroline blinked at his words.


    Kirk continued, “Besides, Isn’t it normal for someone to have a crush on you, darling? You’re so


    outstanding, after all”


    Caroline blinked again and said hesitantly, “But


    “But what?”


    *Sean said you’ll feel inferior. Caroline said. Back then, there had been nothing between her and


    Adrian. However, there had been a scandal, and Kirk had even gone drinking because he felt inferior.


    But this time, Jack really had a crush on her.


    Kirk froze, and then he pressed his forehead against Caroline’s.


    “Me? Inferior?” His voice was low and deep, stirring up tenderness and charm.


    Caroline blushed.


    Kirk hooked his fingers with Caroline’s and sald somewhat happily. “Did I manage to charm you,


    darling?”


    Caroline was speechless. His fingers reached under the nket, and she fell a cold touch at her waist.


    She hurriedly said, “Charles will be


    Kirk picked up his phone and sent Charles a message. “I’ll ask him to leave the food at the door.”


    Caroline was dumbfounded.


    It was already 10:00 pm when they got out of bed and started eating. Wrapped in a bathrobe, Caroline


    sat across from Kirk, listening to his


    voice rolling out in the kitchen.


    Kirk exined, “Jack is a fighting champion. He’ll do a good job protecting you, so you should let him


    stay by your side.”


    “But that would feel like I’m using him.”


    You wont. You can just pay him a sry. Filk smiled.

    Okay, I’ll ask him tomorrow”


    Don’t wa


    Kuk suggested, “Ask him right now. Aren’t you going to make sweeping changes to thepany


    tomorrow? I’m worried that those fumatics will go against you‘


    Caroline held her fork and stared at Kirk, perplexed. She asked, “How do you know I’m going to do


    that?” She had never told Kirk what she Wanted to do in Evans Group this entire time,


    Kirk palled his chest and joked, “Call it a spouse’s intuition.”


    Caroline smiled at his words.


    “You should go to bed soon. You have to fight a tough battle tomorrow,” Kirk advised.


    He put another plece of meal on Caroline’s te. “And eat some more food.”


    He worked so hard to make Caroline gain some weight, but that weight would probably be gone from


    the stress of working at Evans Group.


    “Okay” Caroline continued eating and tried to suppress her smile,


    Finally, she could no longer hold it back, and arge grin spread on her face,


    The next day, Caroline saw Jack’s car in front of her house. She hesitated for a moment, then walked


    to the car.


    Neither of them spoke as if nothing had changed. Last night, they reached an agreement that Jack


    would join Evans Group and be her full–time driver.


    Jack’s wordspletely quelled Caroline’s worries. He said he wasn’t staying because of his former


    crush on her but because he wanted to live an ordinary life,


    In the past, he had only known the life of a fighter, and he had lost many chances to enjoy himself.


    Having a regr job would make it easier for him to have an ordinary lifestyle.


    Most importantly, he sounded tactful and appropriate, without a hint of conflict orint. Their


    rtionship was utterly professional which freed Caroline from her worries,


    In the car, Caroline first made several phone calls to the recruitingpany to finalize the interview


    details for the afternoon.


    She then took the time to contact severalpanies‘ bosses with whom she had built bridges during


    her time at Thorne Corp.


    By the time she was done, she was almost at thepany. She thought for a moment before saying,


    “Can youe upstairs with me, Mr. Jack


    Jack nodded, “Of course.” This morning, Kirk had specifically ordered him to protect Caroline.

    ed side by side to the elevator, it was rush hour right now. There were manypanies on the floor


    where Evans Group was


    yees who were going to work blocked the elevator entrance.


    Taking advantage of the time, Caroline took out the list of employees at Evans Group and made some


    notes.


    At this moment, several men who looked like renovators came in carryingdders and tools, making


    the already narrow passageway even more congested.


    Some people couldn’t helpining, “Which floor is having a renovation so soon in the morning?”


    “It seems to be the 24th Boor.”


    Someone replied, “I heard someone took over the entire floor, and they’re going to open an apparel


    company.”


    “Using an entire floor? That’s amazing.”

    What’s right. A big boss must have cought it


    While they were chatting, Caroline had already entered the elevator. Soon, the elevator reached the


    23rd floor. She left the elevator and immediately saw Emery putting on makeup at the front desk.


    Emery also saw Caroline and stopped her movements quiltly. Then, she continued to put on her eye


    makeup as if no one else was around.


    Caroline gave her another nce, then walked into the office lobby.


    In the lobby, everyone was cking off. Caroline looked at the watch on her wrist. It was already 9:30


    am. She couldn’t believe they were cking off just after working for half an hour.


    She gently ced her bag on the table and ordered. “Call everyone out here!”


    Everyonezily looked up at Caroline, but no one moved.


    At this moment, two people walked in the door. One of them was Luke, and the other was Tom. When


    they saw Caroline, they smiled brightly.


    “You’re so hardworking to be here early in the moming. Ms. Evans. We were afraid we wouldn’t see


    you if we came early.”


    Caroline asked. “Is there something I can help you with?”


    “We’re here to discuss our divestment.


    As soon as they finished speaking, everyone looked at Caroline gloatingly.


    Caroline coldly looked back at everyone and said, “All right


    Everyone was slightly startled by her gaze.
