Chapter 380

Chapter 380 If I Let You Go Now, Tonight’s Mine The doorway was packed with people trying to slip away.

No one wanted to stick around.

Every time Mr. Ellison and Caroline were in the same room, things always got messy.

No one knew what Caroline had done, but Mr. Ellison seemed to target her every few days.

Best to leave before getting caught in the crossfire.

Finished Caroline collected her things and stood up, but the moment she did, she felt David’s gaze fix on her. She shot him an annoyed look and walked toward the door.

“Stop.”

She ignored him.

“Caroline, stop.” David’s voice rang through the conference room, his tone leaving no room for argument. “Stay.”

There was no way out now. With everyone watching, she had no choice but to turn around. “Is there something you need, Mr.

Ellison?”

“Not really,” he said casually. “Just wanted to chat.”

His gaze flicked toward the group still crowding near the door.

That was all it took. The employees instantly squeezed past each other, eager to escape.

Move faster!Mr. Ellison’s stare was terrifying!

Mr. Ellison’s stare alone was enough to send chills down their spines.

William, always quick to catch on, stayed behind to close the door.

“Wait,” David said, looking at Boris. “Why are you still here?”

“What, am I not allowed to stay?”

“No.”

Boris raised an eyebrow. “And what if I want to stay and listen?”

David’s expression remained neutral. “Are you sure?”

The underlying warning in his tone made Boris reconsider. “Actually... maybe I don’t need to know that badly.” As he passed David on his way out, he patted him on the shoulder. “Take it easy. This is still an office. There are cameras, you know.”

“William, turn them off,” David said without hesitation.

“Yes, Mr. Ellison,” William responded immediately.

1/3 Chapter 380 If I Let You Go Now, Tonight’s Mine Finished dying to know who the mystery woman was. But if you make a scene here today, everyone will definitely know it was Caroline.”

Caroline lowered her head, feeling heat rush to her cheeks.

Then–bam! The door shut.

Now it was just the two of them.

Caroline didn’t bother hiding her frustration. She crossed her arms and asked bluntly, “What do you want, David? Work is work.

Personal matters are personal. Can’t you keep them separate? Can’t we talk about this at home?”

David met her gaze without hesitation. “Why are you avoiding me?”

“I’m not.”

“You are,” he countered, tapping his fingers against the table. “I went upstairs to change, and by the time I came back, you were gone.”

Caroline sighed. “I had to get to work. I was running late.”

“You could’ve taken the car with me.”

“I’d rather not.”

David frowned. “I asked you to come to my office, and you ignored me.”

“I had a meeting,” she said. “I was busy.”

He let out a short laugh. “You always have an excuse. Caroline, you’re obviously avoiding me.”

“David,” she said with exasperation, “I don’t have the time or patience for this. I’m just trying to get through my normal day–

working, attending meetings, handling research. Can you please just leave me alone during the day?”

“I can.”

Caroline blinked. That easy?Just like that?

Then, as expected, he added, “But if I let you off during the day, then I won’t at night.”

“You-!”

“You have two choices,” David said smoothly. “Pick one.”

Choices–always choices.

Every single time, he gave her options.

And every single time, neither was what she truly wanted.

“David, do you have to do this? Making it impossible for me to work during the day and keeping me up all night at home?”
