Trapped in Love
Chapter 84 I Can Only Give Her Status and Money Caroline smiled. âYouâre so generous, Evan. Arenât you worried that I might clash with Daniella when I see her?â
Evan narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on her red lips. âDonât force me to silence you, Caroline.â
She was rendered speechless. It was best for her to keep her mouth shut when dealing with a man driven by high testosterone.
After he left, she made her way to her old desk.
Her hand gently caressed the stationery she had used for the past three years. Memories of her hard work and dedication played in her mind.
Before Daniella came into the picture, she had naively believed that she would be with Evan for a long time.
Unfortunately, her childish fantasies were shattered by reality.
She sniffled softly, composing herself. Then she left the desk and headed to the secretaryâs office.
However, just as she left, Daniella appeared in the corridor.
She knocked on Evanâs door, holding a bag in her hand Although her gaze was on the door, she kept a keen eye on the security camera hanging in the corridor.
Realizing that the room was empty, she entered She knew Evanâs schedule like the back of her hand. That was why she chose to come today.
Approaching the desk, she placed some snacks on it.
Then, her eyes shifted toward the document cabinet on the side. She walked over while licking her lips out of anxiety.
In the secretaryâs office, Carolineâs presence stirred excitement among the younger secretaries, who eagerly chatted with her.
They even vented their frustrations about the boss to her.
Caroline responded to each one of them with a smile. Meanwhile, Ms. Walker and Ms. Fisher, who were not far away, rolled their eyes in annoyance.
âDid you see how arrogant that bitch is? Acting like the office canât function without her!â Ms. Walker remarked.
Ms. Fisher was taken aback by Carolineâs return. âIs she actually back to work?!â
âShut up! How am I supposed to get promoted if sheâs back?â Ms. Walker grumbled Ms. Fisher pouted. âLetâs be honest here, weâre just jealous of her. Jealous of her competence and the fact that she gets to sleep with Mr. Jordanâ
Ms. Walker glared at her angrily. âSo now youâre suddenly enlightened? Arenât you jealous too?â
Ms. Fisher scoffed. During Carolineâs absence, she had seen things clearly. It was true that Carolineâs personal capabilities surpassed everyone elseâs.
She would never forget how chaotic the secretaryâs office became in those two days that Caroline was gone.
At 5 p.m., when Evan returned, he noticed a crowd gathered around Caroline. They were all observing her work.
Seeing how engrossed she was in her tasks, he made his way to his office.
Upon entering the room, he found Daniella curled up on the couch, apparently resting Snacks were placed on his desk.
Instinctively, he frowned. How long had she been lying there?
He approached her and called out her name in his deep voice. âDaniella.â
He called three times before she slowly opened her eyes.
Startled, she sat up when she saw him. âIâm sorry, Evan I âIf youâre tired, go home,â Evan interrupted, looking away as he walked toward his desk. âDonât wait for me.â
Daniella quickly grasped her phone from her pocket and stood up. She cautiously looked up at him and asked, âAre you going home for dinner?â
He glanced at her with a flat expression. âNo, Iâll have the driver take you home.â
Sadness filled her eyes. âItâs alright, Iâll take a taxi.â
His voice grew deeper. âItâs not safeâ¦â
Knock! Knock!
A knock sounded at the door just as he spoke.
Caroline entered the room after he gave her permission.
She glanced at Daniella, who was holding a bag, before turning her attention to Evan. âI thought we were having dinner together?â
Daniella looked at the man before her in disbelief.
He rejected her invitation because of Caroline?
Who exactly was his fiancee?!
www Her face paled from anger, but she dared not lash out in front of him.
She could only suppress her emotions and leave the officeâ¦
Once Daniella was gone, Evan coldly questioned Caroline. âDid you do that on purpose?
Caroline admitted proudly, âYes, Iâm delighted to see her being defeated. If it pains you, you can go after her âCaroline, would you believe me if I said there are no feelings between her and 17â Evan explained, his tone serious.
âDonât tell me youâre repaying her favor by giving her a status? And youâre keeping someone you actually like out there?â Carolineâs questions were sharp and direct.
âI can only give her status and financial support. Nothing more,â Evan clarified.
âI donât want to know the details of your relationship! All I know is that sheâs pregnant with your child!â
Evan squinted at her mention of that. âCaroline, did you come to my room on the night of the annual dinner?â
âWhat difference does it make? You slept with her anyway!â Caroline retorted.
