Quentin laughed and said, “It’s only a small matter. Oh, right. Where are you right now?”
Caroline replied, “I’m at home.”
A sudden sputtering noise came through the line, which made Caroline ask in curiosity, “What happened?”
Quentin wiped the water from his mouth and said, “N–nothing…”

He only pitied his friend for coming up empty–handed again. He couldn’t help but wonder if this was the universe’s way of telling Adrian that he should give up pursuing Caroline. After all, they really didn’t have that kind of destiny.
Holding onto his phone, Quentin wondered if he should give Adrian a call and tell him about this
news.
The next day, Caroline replied with an “Okay” after receiving Kirk’s message saying that he’d
arrived safely.
This response put both Caroline and Kirk at ease.
Kirk was relieved because Caroline was still responding to him, so their relationship still had a
chance of being fixed.
Caroline was put at ease because she had been worrying about Kirk ever since she found out that he had left. Now that she’d received news that he was safe, she felt much better.
As for why she had replied to his message, she did it because she was afraid he wouldn’t send
more updates.
This contradictory feeling tortured her, following her all the way until she reached Evans Group. There, the organized office environment made her finally refocus on the company.
“Caroline,” Cheryl said, introducing Caroline to the new hires, “these people are veterans in their own right. Please have a look at their résumés.”
Caroline took a brief look and found that these people all shared one commonality despite all
being from different companies.
They were above the age of 35 and came from large companies before this. But that was fine.
It turned out they had all worked as assistants, even after more than a decade of work.
Caroline looked them all over and said, “Welcome to the team. I hope you can learn and grow with

The new employees, who were all waiting for their boss to give some kind of pep talk, were shocked when Caroline was so brief. They were still in a daze when they walked out of her office.
After watching them leave, Cheryl approached Caroline with a smile. “Caroline, what do you think? Is the finished product ready? Can I see it?”
Just now, Caroline had forgotten about Kirk. Now that Cheryl had mentioned this matter, Caroline was thinking about him again.
She rubbed her temples and forced herself to focus on her work. “Not yet.”
Caroline took out some of her drafts and passed them to Cheryl.
“I spent all night designing these. Send them to the design department, and don’t say that they’re my work: Just ask for their opinion. If they’re okay, tell them to use this horoscope concept to
rush a batch of products.”
Cheryl looked at the lively designs on the page and fell in love with them immediately. She smiled and said, “I think the design department will love them.”
Caroline laughed. “Hurry up. If this gets settled, we’ll only be left with finding an ambassador.”
“Alright.” Cheryl took the designs over to the design department. She followed Caroline’s instructions and didn’t say who had done them.
Even so, the new head of the design department was enamored by the designs immediately.
“These designs are great,” she said lowly.
“I won’t lie to you. When I saw Evans Group’s past designs, I had a splitting headache. They didn’t inspire me at all. But these désigns have truly opened the floodgates. Hey Cheryl, which expert
drew these?”
Cheryl said pridefully, “Ms. Evans!”
The design department head’s eyes widened. “Impossible, these were done by an expert! I can tell
at first glance.”
“You don’t know, do you? Ms. Evans used to be Thorne Corp’s design director.”
Stunned, the design department’s head froze for a while before saying in astonishment, “No
wonder I found her familiar! She’s Caroline Evans! Ah, she’s my idol! I loved her designs back
when she was at Thorne Corp.”
