Chapter 105

An hour later, Charles arrived downstairs in a hurry. He stood before Kirk and greeted him respectfully, saying, “Mr. Morrison.”

Kirk tossed the USB flash drive over to Charles, who inserted the flash drive into his computer and opened it, only to find only one file.

He clicked on it to find the winning design draft as well as several unfinished sketches. From these sketches, he could se n the room, Caroline was fast asleep on the bed. Through the partially opened custams, the moonlight shone into the room, outlining her beautiful face Her expression was already relaxed, no longer as tense as it had been an hour ago.

Kirk land down beside her and held her in his arms Caroline shuffled in his arms, making hereil comfortable before going to sleep again Kirk relaxed his tense body inhaling Caroline’s feminine scent, he fell into a deep sheep, getting rid of his weariness for the past few days As Caroline slept, she seemed to heal something humming When she woke up, she found herself in Kirk’s arms She burnedly glanced underneath the covers and only calmed down after seeing that they both still had then clothes on However, her face was still flushed They bodies were glued togethei Caroline could hear Kirk’s strong heartbeat inging in her ears and feel his firm muscles with her bands She could even feel his sent filling her instrus She tied to move, but then legs were tangled together the multis move a single in Carline looked up at Kirk, biting her hip Elk’s eyes were hand tightly and there were dark Caroline couldn’t bear to see him exhausted, so she nestled herself in his arms, not daring to move.

Kirk’s lips curled up into a slight smile, but Caroline didn’t k, puzzled.

Kirk explained, “These are Caroline’s sketches. Every time she finishes one, she’ll upload it to her laptop.”

Charles opened the last sketch, which happened to be the final draft. It was precisely the same as Layla’s. He understood the situation immediately.

“So… the winner copied Mrs. Morrison’s design? No… the brushwork is the same. This is the original draft!”

So, Layla had stolen Caroline’s work and submitted it as her own!

Kirk’s gaze was stormy. It was hard to tell what he was feeling at the moment. “Investigate what’s going on. Contact the PR department to find the best plan to minimize the damage.”

“Yes, sir,” Charles replied.

After Charles left, Kirk closed his eyes wearily. He hadn’t rested for a single moment since he’d gotten off the plane more than five hours ago.

Thinking of Caroline, he opened his eyes again. He was about to go upstairs when his phone rang.

Kirk glanced at his phone; it was an unknown number. Ignoring it, he put the phone back in his pocket and went to the second floor.

After he’d left Easton, he’d been thinking about Caroline every day, wishing to get on the plane and return to her. Jude was already ready. Once he finished things here, he could have Caroline meet his parents.

Despite the cold night, Kirk’s blood boiled in annoyance. His phone was still ringing when he’d He immediately blocked the number with a frown Then everything was peaceful once again On the other end of the line, when Brie realized that her phone number had been blocked, she fumed angnly it was probably that bitch Caroline whod blocked her Bre had already investigated and found that Caroline had frequently contacted this number Needless to say, this number was her husband st Caroline probably blocked Brie’s number because she was feeling guilty She wouldn’t let Caroline off so easily!

Kirk crept back into his room Her memories from yesterday came back bit by bit. She only remembered that she’d cried, and she seemed to have mentioned Eddy.

She wasn’t sad at all. However, for some reason, when she’d been in Kirk’s arms, she hadn’t been able to stop her tears from coming down, like a suffering child seeking solace.

She moved. Kirk trembled slightly, and he placed his hand on her waist.

Caroline looked up at him in surprise. “You’re awake?”

Kirk leisurely opened his eyes. His voice was relaxed when he said, “Yeah.”

Caroline didn’t dare to look at Kirk. She said, “I–I want to get up.”

Kirk rested his chin on Caroline’s shoulders. His voice was low and sleepy. “You had a question for me yesterday, right?”

“Ah!” Caroline seemed to remember saying that in her daze.

But… Now that Kirk was right in front of her, she didn’t know how to bring up her question.

Besides, she could feel his warm breath on her ears, disrupting her thoughts.

“Are you having trouble finding the words?” Kirk asked. He laced his fingers through Caroline’s, playing with them carefully.

Caroline’s heart was beating even faster. “No, I-”

“Ring!” The phone rang suddenly, startling Caroline and ruining the atmosphere.

“Get the phone.” Caroline pushed Kirk away, taking the opportunity to sneak into the bathroom.

The smile on Kirk’s face faded away as he picked up his phone. It was another unknown number, and it seemed that this number had sent him countless messages before.

Each message contained accusations of Caroline sleeping around with married men. There were even requests for him to keep his wife in line, saying that if something like this happened again, they would ruin Caroline.

Kirk looked at the threatening messages with a cold smile and answered the call.

Brie was a little caught off guard to see him answer her call, and she froze for a few moments before saying. “A—are you Caroline or her husband?”

Kirk walked to the balcony. He asked, “Is there something you need?”

His deep and magnetic voice shocked Brie. She hadn’t expected Caroline’s husband to have such a lovely voice! And… it sounded familiar.

There is Brie pulled herself away from her thoughts and said, “You must have seen the messages I’d sent you. Don’t you care about your wife fooling around?”

Kirk sneered, “Do you have anything else to say?”

Brie was speechless at his calm answer. “Don’t you hate Caroline for cuckolding you?”

Kirk looked into the distance, asking, “You’re Brie, right?”

Brie’s expression shifted. “This is my best friend’s number! How did he know it was me?” she thought.

“Don’t mess with Caroline if you still want to live.” After Kirk finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Brie was still holding the phone in shock. She couldn’t believe he’d threatened her, and that too, knowing full well who she was! Both Caroline and her husband were bastards
