Chapter 158

Caroline waited in her room for a long time, but Kirk didn’t come and try to explain himself. She felt wronged and pressed her lips together. She badly wanted to beat Kirk up.

Right then, she received a message.

“Hello, Ms. Evans. This is the phone department of SY Group. We have a giveaway for a lucky attendee of the press conference. To thank you for your support of Dragon, we will gift you 50 Dragon phones.”

Caroline was speechless.

There were a total of 42 members in the design department.

Since SY Group had given her 50 phones in one go, she could definitely give the phones to her subordinates.

Caroline wanted to thank Eddy’s second uncle. But then she thought of what Kirk had said, and her excitement died down instantly.

Forget it.

It was better to buy him a meal when she had the chance to.

She had to take Kirk along too. She would let him know that she didn’t have any intentions regarding Eddy’s second uncle!

Besides, she’d already said that she didn’t want to be involved with any members of the Morrison family!

Right then, the doorbell rang outside.

Caroline sat on the edge of the bed and listened for a while.

Then, her phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was an unknown number.

She picked up after some hesitation. Charles‘ polite voice came from the other end. “Madam, could you please open the door?”

Caroline got up and went to the bedroom door. But then she suddenly paused. “Get Kirk to open it for you.”

Charles gave a bitter laugh. “He’s not here.”

Only then did Caroline open the bedroom door. She found the living room empty of Kirk’s presence She felt disappointed for a moment. Her heart felt like it had been twisted. Strangely, It hurt a lot.

Caroline walked to the front door and opened it. Charles stood outside with some takeout.

“Madam, Mr. Morrison asked me to bring you dinner.” Charles handed the food to Caroline.

The bag of food was warm in Caroline’s hands. “Where is he?”

Charles answered honestly, “I don’t know.”

Caroline’s lips thinned. “Thank you. Would you like to come in and eat too?”

Charles said, “There’s no need, but thank you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.”

Caroline watched Charles leave. Then, she took the food to the coffee table.

It was a fruit salad and a bowl of beef stew.

Caroline’s eyes stung. She clicked on WhatsApp and opened Kirk’s chat. She wanted to say something to him, but she didn’t know what.

After a moment, she closed the chat.

At the Mendeleys‘ residence, Adam and Lia were overjoyed at Kirk’s sudden visit.

Lia pulled Kirk aside and said, “It’s great that you’re here, Kirk. Avery has been blacklisted by the entire industry. She’s been so down for the past few days. She can’t do anything but stand by and watch.”

She continued, “Nothing we say helps. But Avery has always listened to you. As long as you talk to her, she’ll become motivated again.”

Kirk’s expression turned dull. “Where is she?”

“In the upstairs bedroom. I’ll go and call her.”

“There’s no need for that. I’ll go up.”
