“Hey, just ignore her. She’s nearly gone mad after the gossip about her marriage to Mr. Morrison being a mistake.” Gwen hurriedly opened the lood container with her supper.
She inhaled. “It smells great. Carol, it’s been a long time since I’ve had your cooking!”
Caroline glanced at the parking lot. “You go ahead and eat. I’m going to take some supper to Kirk.”
“Why the rush? Don’t you want to wait until that crazy Brie leaves?”
Caroline smiled. “I can guess who she’s here to see. I won’t bump into her.”
“Alright, sure.” Gwen’s attention was on the food. “Go ahead then.”
Caroline got up and headed to the parking lot with the food container. Then, she went to the Morrison Corporation building.
She’d used to bring food for Eddy when he’d done overtime before. She’d gotten used to how coldly he treated her.
Yet she felt nervous as she stood there tonight.
“Ms. Evans!”
The security guard recognized Caroline at a glance. He sounded sympathetic as he said, “Are you bringing Mr. Eddy supper? He’s not here, though.”
Caroline gave a smile. “No.”
The security guard was shocked. “Then who?”
“It’s for…” For a moment, Caroline didn’t know what to say. After a while, she continued, “A friend.”
The security guard glanced at the building, which was nearly all dark. “Are you sending it to the top floor?”
The Morrison Corporation building had 88 floors. The top floor had always been empty, but it had been cleaned up recently. No one in the company knew what that was about, much less the security guard.
The guard had only occasionally seen the lights turn on on the top floor.
Like tonight.
Caroline glanced at the top floor too. Since Gwen said that Kirk had come in, then he must be there. After all, only the top floor was lit up in
the whole building.
“Yes.”
The security guard let Caroline through the barrier. He looked at Caroline’s back and scratched his head. “Weird. There should be only one man on the top floor. Why is everyone looking for him?”
Caroline quickly reached the top floor.
The cleaned–up top floor looked brand new. There were understated but luxurious decorations on both sides of the corridor. There was a faint scent of mint in the air, which made Caroline’s heart race.
When she got to the door, Caroline suddenly felt regretful. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Kirk had said they were only partners in bed. If that were true, why should she waste her elfort making him supper?
Wasn’t she just looking to embarrass herself?
Caroline clenched her fists and turned around, still hesitating.
When she lowered her head and saw the food container, she gave in again.
Since he’d had to work so late, he must be exhausted and hungry. 1
Caroline gritted her teeth. Gathering her courage, she knocked on the door.
Caroline tensed. That voice was really familiar.
She pushed the door open in a daze.
She saw Brie laid out on the office desk. Her posture was seductive.
Caroline’s food container dropped to the floor.
Brie’s expression changed. She hadn’t expected Caroline to be the one coming inside.
She quickly hopped off the desk, tugging at her dress. “Why are you here?”
Caroline had goosebumps all over. She thought of that lipstick.
“That lipstick is really yours!”
“What lipstick?” Brie touched her newly done hair. Then, she seemed to recall something. “Did you hide the lipstick!”
The first time they met, she had indeed secretly put a tube of lipstick in Mr. Morrison’s pocket. She had wanted him to come and see her.
It turned out that he hadn’t done so because of Caroline.
This bitch Caroline must have pulled some trick!
