"Nothing," said Kirk with a soft smile on his lips. It was just that his time had come. Caroline stared at him for a while before turning to face Sean and Gwen. "We're leaving then. See you tomorrow," she said. "See you," said Sean and Gwen in unison.The four of them waved goodbye and left.…Cheryl was the last person to leave the restaurant that night. When she arrived at the company the next day, she still hadn't recovered from her daze. "Caroline, how could you leave me just like that yesterday?" She pouted as she sat in Caroline's office.She made it a point to point out their "crimes" as she took a sip of water from the glass in her hand. "Those people wouldn't have let you go after learning that you're Mr. Hackett Senior's daughter anyway," Caroline said. Cheryl's face dropped when the Hacketts were brought up. "What's wrong? Did he come and see you?" Caroline asked.Cheryl nodded. "My agreement with the Hacketts was that I would go back to their house if they

The person on the other end of the line was Kirk. It came as a surprise to Cheryl, making her freeze. She wondered if she had picked up the wrong phone. After all, Kirk had never called her before this. "Cheryl? Are you listening?" he asked. There was no mistaking that voice. Cheryl was sure that she hadn't gotten it wrong. Kirk called her using Jack's phone. "U-Um, is something the matter?""Aiden went to see you, right? Have you decided to return to the Hackett family?" he asked. It was no surprise that Kirk had learned of this, so Cheryl replied, "Yes. Is there something you need me to do?" This thought automatically popped into her mind, and she voiced it out right away. The corners of Kirk's mouth tilted upward at her question. "They must've said that they wanted to host a banquet for you, right?" Cheryl couldn't help but admire Kirk for his foresight.She said, "Yeah. They intend to do just that, but I'm against it. I'm not close to anyone in the family, and

The distance from the elevator to Caroline's office was short, but it took Cheryl five whole minutes to get there. When she finally placed her hand on the doorknob, she was so overwhelmed with emotions that she was on the verge of breaking down. "Is that you, Cheryl?" Caroline heard someone outside and raised her head to look at the door. Cheryl recomposed herself, straightened her back, and replied, "Yes."Caroline's assistant, who had just finished preparing coffee and was standing by the door, looked at Cheryl with puzzled eyes. Cheryl stood stock-still at the door without moving an inch. She glanced at the cup of coffee, which had steam rising from it. "Give it to me," said Cheryl. The assistant stared at Cheryl in confusion for a brief moment before handing her the tray. After picking it up, Cheryl walked into Caroline's office. "Caroline," she said as she placed the coffee on Caroline's table. "I remember preparing coffee for you when we worked at Thorne Corp be

Cheryl laughed. "You're so childish!" she teased. Despite her words, she stuck out her little finger and made a pinky promise to Jack. When their thumbs pressed against each other, she suddenly thought that maybe the future wouldn't be that bad after all. At the very least, she would always have Jack. …Caroline sat in Cheryl's office until it was time to get off work. Her assistant entered the room and asked, "Ms. Evans, Ms. Hackett's resigned. Should we tidy up the place for the next—""That's not necessary. Just clear out another office when the new one comes. We'll keep this office as is." "Wouldn't it be a waste, though?" the assistant asked gingerly. "Are you saying that I don't have the power to decide how a room should be left now?" Caroline snapped. The assistant paled. "N-No! That's not what I meant. I'll go and tell the cleaners about this then." That said, she walked out of the room in haste. Since Caroline wasn't in a good mood right now, the best optio

At Morrison Manor, Simon knocked on the door and entered the room. "Mr. Morrison, Mr. Eddy, the Hacketts called us again. They're asking if Mr. Eddy will attend the banquet for Ms. Cheryl." Eddy scoffed. "They called us again? Weren't they rude enough to stop working with us all of a sudden?" Thomas said, "It's always been nothing more than mutual cooperation between us and the Hacketts. But they betrayed us by chickening out so suddenly."He continued, "If we attend their banquet, it will only seem like we're the ones who fear them. I don't think you should attend it this time." "Why not?" Eddy didn't agree. "The Hacketts must have invited Caroline. This is a golden opportunity for me to see her. Why shouldn't I attend it?" This made Thomas frown in displeasure. "Eddy, didn't I tell you to let go of her? It does you no good to keep on thinking about her." "You want me to give up on her just like this? No. I want to tell her in person that the man she loves is a coward who w
