Chapter 317

Caroline felt embarrassed at his words. She insisted, “But I should still pay you back for your efforts.”

“It’s okay. You already did.”

Caroline thought he was referring to him becoming more mature and happler because of his experience working for her. She didn’t know he was referring to the villa and fighting gym his boss had given him.

Seeing how Jack had insisted, Caroline no longer hesitated. “Okay. Thank you, Mr. Jack.”

When Jack sent Caroline home, Kirk was already waiting for her.

Seeing Caroline return home, he wrapped his arms around her waist. “You’re just on time, darling.”

Caroline pushed Kirk’s chest. Before, she hadn’t known that Jack had a crush on her, so she could act lovey–dovey with Kirk without any worries. However, now ***

Kirk seemed to have seen through Caroline’s thoughts. He let go of her and said to Jack, “Let’s talk outside.”

Caroline was stunned by his words. She nervously grabbed his tie and looked at him, silently asking if he knew about Jack’s crush on her. She was also curious as to how Kirk knew about this.

Kirk held Caroline’s hand, feeling a hint of jealousy. But he still said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”

Caroline tightly grasped Kirk’s tie. As she got lost in his enchanting gaze, she slowly loosened her grip.

While the two men approached the door, Caroline swallowed nervously. She said, “Come back soon, Kirk.”

Her eyes were damp as she stood there. The evening sunlight enveloped her body, making her look mystical and ethereal She looked like a goddess who had descended from heaven.

Kirk smiled at the sight. He promised, “Okay.”

Kirk played with the lighter in his hand, wearing a half–smile on his face. “Don’t be so anxious. I was the one who tampered with your dossier.”

Jack was stunned. It took him a few moments to realize that Kirk was behind all of this. He was speechless. “Sir-

Kirk raised his head, looking in the distance. He said, “I called you out because I want you to remain in Easton and care for my wife.”

Jack said. “But I-

“You haven’t let go of your feelings?” Kirk looked at Jack warningly.

Jack hurriedly said, “Please stop joking with me about this, sir. I’m worried that if I stay, I’ll ruin your relationship Kirk waved his hand and said confidently, “You definitely won’t.”

Jack hang he was being judged. He wished he could see Kirk go wild for his love once more.

“If th joesn’t have a problemn with it, I’d be happy to help.”

Kirk smirked. He said, “She definitely won’t. You may leave.”

“Yes, sir.” Jack started his car and drove away.

After watching the car disappear into the distance, Kirk finally relaxed his tense shoulders. He had resolved the issue with Jack but he had to be more careful from now on.

When he thought of Caroline waiting for him in the villa, he instantly relaxed his frown. He strode toward the villa and opened the door.” Darling Laroune was cleaning vegetables in the kitchen. When she neard Kirk s voice, sne poked her head out and asked, “I cook something, and we’ll celebrate together. How about that?”

Kirk removed his tie, revealing his sharp collarbones.
