Chapter 172

Caroline was distracted all morning. Her mind was filled with the image of Kirk’s scratched–up abdomen She had reason to believe that Kirk had been seducing her. He was probably trying to dumb her down by tempting her and making her forget why they were fighting.

She had to admit that his plan was quite successful She really couldn’t hold off much longer.

Just as she was about to let her mind run wild, she saw Cheryl walking past the door, seemingly in a daze.

In the beginning, Caroline didn’t find anything weird about it. But after Cheryl walked past, she sensed something amiss. “Cheryl.”

A few seconds later, Cheryl appeared at her door, looking distracted.

Her eyes were red–rimmed, and her hair stuck to her face wetly. She looked to be in a ghastly state.

“What happened?”

Cheryl lowered her head and thinned her lips. She dared not say a word.

Caroline stood up, her hands supported on the table. “Answer me!”

Caroline had a commanding air about her, and it scared Cheryl.

She stuttered out, “I–I was just getting water in the lounge. I heard them dis–discussing you. I said something, and Susan immediately splashed coffee on my face. She said y–you…”

“What were they saying?”

“They say there’s no way you can produce something Mr. French likes with your little bit of skill. They say you’ll definitely lose this competition and embarrass yourself.”

As she finished speaking, Cheryl burst into tears.

Caroline’s expression darkened. She said blandly, “Don’t cry! Come with me!”

Cheryl followed Caroline in confusion to Vivian’s office.

In the office, Susan was telling Vivian about splashing coffee on Cheryl.

“Her boss is useless, so she can only suffer the consequences…”

As she said this, the door was pushed open with a bang.

The coffee was steaming hot. If she splashed it on Susan, Susan’s face would be ruined.

Caroline looked over, abnormally icy “What’s so not nice about it? Didn’t she splash you the same way? What we’re concerned about is giving as good as we get. Splash her back!”

This was the first time Susan had seen Caroline so vicious. She was terrified.

She looked at Vivian in fear Vivian folded her arms She said, “Ms. Evans, you don’t have to be so ruthless, do you? It’s just some roughhousing between colleagues. The victim doesn’t even care about it. Let’s not make mountains out of molehills and turn the company upside down.”

“Sure‘ Caroline got up and walked to Vivian’s side She smiled as she picked up Vivian’s cup of water and splashed it on her face. “I hope you won’t make mountains out of molehills either, Ms.

Everything happened too quickly, and everyone was shocked to their core.
