Chapter 184

An unkly and, spam fost ter that est entitled to an explanation Please, do get Cheryl stood to the side and watched as Jack opened the door for Caroline Then, she regarded the Intejoy of the car and felt quat adato go She said lowly to Caroline “Cartine your family eats you so well. They even prepared a car just to take you places Cheryl’s mention tarily are like a knife stabbing into Caroline’s heart Caroline lowered her head, hufing the hurt in her eyes. “It’s not an arrangement by my family It’s by the company‘

Cheryl was taken aback “The company? Then why don’t the other directors get such treatment?”

From what she’d seen, all the other directors drove themselves to and from work.

Caroline was stunned. “What did you say?

They were speaking so quietly that Jack couldn’t hear it from the front seat Jack kept his focus on driving I said “Cheryl began, “the other directors all drive themselves”

Caroline looked up to glance at Jack, her eyebrows coming together loosely.

Cheryl asked “Caroline, did I say something wrong?

Caroline shook her head and said nothing else.

Jack drove Cheryl to Acre Apartments before changing directions to send Caroline back to the villa On the way home, Caroline didn’t say anything When the car stopped and Jack got ready to get down, Caroline finally spoke up ‘Mr Jack Jack’s professional instincts made him freeze ‘Yes, miss “Why don’t the company’s other directors have a car to take them to and from work?”

Jack felt cold sweat drip down his face. He instinctively wanted to look toward the villa, but he forced himself not to.

“Mr. Jack! Caroline’s voice rose. “Is this a very tough question to answer?”

Jack swallowed. In a split second, he suddenly remembered what Kirk had ordered before.

He said calmly, “It’s like this, miss. You’re the design director the company has hired on for life. Thus, the treatment you get is different from the others… It’s just that the company doesn’t advertise this arrangement to other people. Otherwise, they might become jealous.”

This answer was perfectly logical.

Caroline didn’t suspect anything.

She pushed open the door and got out of the car. She took two steps forward before turning back.

“This means you won’t be sending me to and from work if I lose tomorrow?”

Jack felt as though someone were strangling him. He didn’t know how to answer.

Caroline figured that Jack felt put on the spot. She smiled. “Alright, go off then.”

Jack felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He stepped on the gas, and the car sped off with a vroom.

He was scared that Caroline might ask him more questions he couldn’t answer.

Caroline turned to walk into the villa!

It was dark inside, so Caroline assumed that Kirk hadn’t returned yet.

She turned on the lights and spotted Kirk sitting on the couch in a second.

He was slumped on the couch. His figure looked lonely.

When he heard the noise, Kirk turned. Fatigue was clear on his face. There was also pain in his expression, which Caroline couldn’t understand.

Caroline moved forward hesitantly. “What is it? Are you feeling unwell?”

Kirk raised a hand. “Come here.”

Caroline didn’t understand what was going on, but she still approached him.

As she got near, Kirk pulled her into his embrace.

Caroline thought that Kirk was messing around again.

Yet he unexpectedly tucked his face into the crook of her neck. He held onto her waist tightly. It was as if he wanted to melt into her very bones.

His unusual behavior made Caroline feel panicked, “What’s wrong with you?”
