Caroline replied, "Speaking of buying you a meal, I think I've mentioned it several times already." As she spoke, she went to get Adrian some water. When he accepted the glass of water, Adrian couldn't avoid touching Caroline's skin. The touch was like being shocked by electricity. It made Adrian's face turn red. Adrian ducked his head and gulped down some water to still his rapidly beating heart. "Right. Are you free this weekend? Maybe we can have that meal."After drinking her own water, Caroline raised her head to find that Adrian's face was red. "Why is your face so red?" she asked. Adrian's mind buzzed, the blush spreading to his neck as sweat dripped. He coughed. "I …""You must be hot." Caroline went to find the remote control. "I think men run hotter than women, so you sweat easier."Adrian's heart dislodged from his throat. He felt a little disappointed. Soon, Caroline found the remote control and turned the air conditioning on. Then, she turned to head into the be

"Darling," Kirk said."You head home first."Kirk watched as Caroline turned mercilessly away, his fists clenching. "Alright, I'll go home first. Call me if anything happens," he said. After that, he was silent for a moment before he left and closed the door behind him.When the door clicked closed, Caroline couldn't maintain the rigidity of her back anymore. She slid to the ground. She covered her face as her shoulders trembled gently. After more than half an hour, Caroline rushed into the bathroom and wiped the tears from her face. When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror, her makeup ruined. Although she had been trying hard to fill the emptiness in her heart with work, as more time passed, the pain got harder to deal with.If this went on, she would go crazy.She took out her phone and clicked on her chat with Marina. There were no new messages. There were still 18 more hours until working hours started in Macldo.Caroline had the urge to sedate herself and slee

When she got to that point, Gwen laughed. "It was better in the past when I would dump them after I got them. "I didn't have to worry about the guy cheating at all. As long as we break up fast, they won't get to cheat on me."Caroline smiled as she looked at Gwen, but it didn't reach her eyes. Gwen was right. Love was really quite tiring. One needed to nurture love with a lot of effort so that it could last forever. "What about you?" Gwen asked, turning her head toward Caroline.The smile was still on Caroline's face, but now her gaze drifted. "I … Do you remember I told you I was scared?"Gwen blinked."The husband was a murderer, but the wife only found out when the police came to their door …"Gwen sat up. "You mean …"Caroline shook her head as she laughed. "No. It's just that my complete trust in him seems to be cracking.""What exactly happened?"Caroline shook her head and looked at the time. "I'm not sure yet. I still have to wait …"Caroline just had to wait a lit

Caroline smiled. "That won't happen. Sonia has a solid fanbase. Even if the webseries fails, we can still get sales through streams."Cheryl immediately relaxed when she heard that. "Caroline, you're amazing. You really thought of everything. I'll be going then."Caroline nodded. After watching Cheryl leave, she slumped onto the couch in fatigue.Even though she was at work, she needed to expend a lot of energy to concentrate on doing her job. Otherwise, her thoughts would always drift off, and she would think about how Marina's search was going. What if Kirk really had another wife? What would she do then?All these thoughts suffocated her, making it hard for her to breathe.Caroline looked up at the clock on the wall and unlocked her phone. Marina should be at work at this hour, but there was still no news from her.Clicking on their chat, Caroline hesitated before deciding to send Marina a message anyway. "Have you found it?"After sending the message, Caroline immediatel

"What?" Caroline took a step back and interrupted Kirk. "Enough. If you're still hesitating at this point, I doubt you're going to tell the truth. "How about this? I'll give you time to think about it. Once you come up with a lie, you can come and see me again."After saying that, Caroline picked up her luggage and strode downstairs. Kirk caught up to her when she reached the doorway."Where are you going? I'll drop you off." Kirk gripped Caroline's wrist as he begged sincerely.The words to reject him stuck in Caroline's throat. They wouldn't come out, no matter how hard she tried. She squeezed her eyes shut. Seeing that Caroline wasn't rejecting him, Kirk let her go and put her luggage in the trunk. In the car, Caroline didn't say anything more than "Take me home". She didn't want to speak to Kirk, and she didn't have the energy to talk anyway. Kirk wanted to say something more, but Caroline had already slammed the door closed on him. He could only stand there withou
