Chapter 106

After Caroline washed up, she went downstairs to make breakfast.

As she put the plates on the table, she was thinking about how to ask Kirk what he’d meant by not

wanting to be friends. However, when she looked up and saw him, her mind went blank.

Kirk had changed into a casual outfit, lacking his usual upper–class style. He looked more relaxed and

carefree.

“What are we eating today?” he asked, pulling out a chair and sitting down at the table.

Caroline hurriedly looked away, her heart beating wildly like a deer in headlights. For a moment, she

felt like they were acting like an old married couple.

She answered, “Pasta. Let me get some for you.”

“I’ll get it myself,” Kirk responded, walking into the kitchen.

Caroline stood where she was, watching Kirk put some pasta on his plate with swift movements.

Then, he said, “We’ll meet my dad in a few days.”

Caroline was surprised. “Is your father that anxious to meet me?”

It might take several days to get to the bottom of the issue pertaining to Layla stealing her design.

Kirk paused. He was the one who was anxious, not Ivan. He asked, “Do you not want to go?”

“Of course not.” Caroline had agreed to meet Kirk’s father, so she wouldn’t go back on her word. She

explained, “But there’s a small problem with the competition I joined, so I can’t see him until it’s

resolved.” (1

Kirk raised his eyebrows and replied, “Since it’s a small problem, it can be handled quickly. We can go

see him after it’s done.”

Caroline smiled wryly. Things weren’t that easy.

She hadn’t given the evidence to the organizers, and after she gave it to them, she’d still need to wait

for them to investigate the situation.

It would take them at least a week to get to the bottom of things.

As soon as Caroline sat down, she got a call from Gwen

Motherfucker I’ve never met someone as shameless as Layla” Gwen yelled She was so angry

that her nostris flared

‘She made a post on Facebook saying that she accidentally broke one of your things some time

ago, and in retaliation, you hired a lawyer to sue her and put her in jail!

“That’s just utter bullshit! What is she trying to do by making a false claim? Sway everyone’s

opinion of her?

Caroline frowned and opened Facebook on her phone. Sure enough, she saw Layla in the

headlines

She opened one of the articles, which accused Caroline of using a lawyer to bully Layla. Below the

articles were hate comments directed at Caroline and sympathetic comments toward Layla.

Netizens believed that Caroline was jealous of Layla winning first place, so she’d found an excuse

to take revenge on Layla.

“Carol” Gwen realized something after she’d vented her anger.

She asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t tell me you’re on Facebook. No, don’t look at the

articles and comments! Those people don’t know the full story! They mindlessly believe everything they

see.”

Caroline smiled and said, “I’ve already finished reading them. I’m okay. Go to work. Don’t worry about

me.”

Gwen was still worried about her friend. She asked, “Are you sure you’re okay? Why don’t I take a day

off to keep you company?”

“No, it’s okay,” Caroline replied while eating a mouthful of pasta.

“I know you. Your pleasures in life are earning money and meeting handsome men. You already gave

that up for me once. I’ll feel terrible if you take a day off for me again.

“Don’t worry. This scandal isn’t my first. These nasty rumors and comments don’t bother me at all.”

Gwen relented and said, “Okay. I’ll see you after I get off work.”

Even though she’d ended the call, she was still worried about Caroline. After some hesitation, she

called Sean. “Hello?”

Sean answered, “Why are you calling me? Are we going out for food?”

His words dumbfounded Gwen. She’d learned that Sean was a food enthusiast when he’d driven

her home last time. He was more familiar with the delicious food in Osbury than a local like her.
