Caroline frowned, deep in thought. Why did Joan choose to work for MK? And how did Evan’s

hire her?

‘It’s no wonder she hasn’t been in touch with me lately. Turns out, she’s been working for Evan. I don’t

mind her working for any company, but it doesn’t feel good that she kept it from me.”

The head of the sales department was also anxious due to Caroline’s silence. “What should we do

about

this, Ms. Shenton?”

Caroline raised her head after a moment of silence, exuding more confidence.

“What if I didn’t?” Caroline sighed. “I can’t change anything by moping after my mentor switched

companies.”

Joan disagreed, “Well, maybe you should appear a bit more vulnerable. Don’t be too strong.”
