Chapter 82

After she said that, she smelled the scent of mint. It woke her up immediately, and she took large steps backward.

Since she’d taken such huge steps, her calf knocked into the coffee table. She lost her balance and fell backward.

Kirk quickly caught her by the waist.

Caroline’s face and ears turned red. She tried to push Kirk away.

Kirk said hoarsely, “Don’t move.”

To Kirk, the early morning was dangerous, especially when he had such a pretty woman in his arms.

Caroline curled into Kirk’s embrace. “Then let me stand up first.”

Kirk helped her stand slowly.

Once Caroline found her footing, she ran off.

She seemed to be escaping him.

Kirk cursed to himself, thinking that Caroline was ungrateful. However, his face was still expressionless.

“Why didn’t you sleep all night?”

Kirk hadn’t slept either. That was why his voice was slightly hoarse.

Caroline went into the bathroom, trying her best to escape the mint scent following her. “I still had a bit of work to do. I just finished it up.”

Kirk glanced over at the design on the computer table.

kurs had just returned from the hospital. He’d already found out that Eddy had been admitted pretenday “Yes the’s very picky with food” Caroline had experienced it firsthand. Eddy would make a huge fuss if the food wasn’t to his liking “Enough talk. Wait outside, breakfast will be done in a bit”

Caroline didn’t want to spend time with Kirk under the same roof Kurk suppressed his displeasure “Do you still care about him?”

The house of the kitchen hood overpowered Kirk’s voice. Caroline didn’t hear what he’d said. She statted cooking The sound of oil splattering was as loud as fireworks.

Kuk hooned as he watched Caroline’s back. There was a dark look in his eyes By the time Caroline finished making breakfast and came outside, Kirk was already gone.

She was confused, but it was good that Kirk had left.

Caroline sighed She ate her breakfast distractedly. Afterward, she called the Morrison family’s bodyguard to come over and collect Eddy’s food The bodyguard arrived quickly. He picked up the food container and asked, “Are you not coming along, Ms. Evans?*

Utamterested Caroline yawned. “He’s always worked there”

“Then why don’t you come check on hum?“

Caroline wasn’t interested in that She did wonder if Kirk had eaten, though, considering he was still working overtime so late at night She asked “Gwen, are you hungry? Do you want me to send you some supper?

Gwen laughed mischievously “Since when have you ever sent me supper? You’re not really doing this for me am I night?”

Caroline got annoyed at being found out ‘Do you want it or not?

“Of course I do” Caroline’s cooking was superb Caroline hung up and cleared out the ingredients in the fridge. She prepared a hearty supper.

She planned to send Kirk a message, but she decided against it after some thought. She couldn’t After packing up the two portions of supper, Caroline drove over to where Gwen worked The financial company Gwen worked at was right opposite Morrison Corp There was a cafe downstairs that was open 24 hours a day Gwen had already ordered two cups of coffee and was waiting there.

When she saw Caroline, Gwen waved. “Carol, over here.”

Caroline went over with the supper. When she sat down, Gwen started grumbling “Are you kidding? Why is it her again?”

Caroline followed her line of sight. Brie had just gotten out of her car at the entrance to Morrison Corporation Gwen bit down on her fork. “But why is she at Morrison Corp at this hour?”

There was a ripple in Caroline’s calm eyes. She suddenly thought of Eddy’s uncle
