Caroline was even secretly glad she hadn’t said no in the first place. Otherwise, she would have
come across as a narcissist who thought every man loved her.
“Of course. Please come in.” She made way for Adrian and poured him a glass of water before
opening the files.
While Caroline looked through the documents, Adrian took the chance to look around Caroline’s
home.
It didn’t look big, but the furnishings were in perfect order, forming a warm and simple
atmosphere. What made Adrian the happiest was the fact that there weren’t any traces of a man
in her home.
“These two went missing?” Caroline spoke up, pulling Adrian away from his thoughts.
Adrian said thoughtfully, “Yes. After they entered the bar last night, they never came back out.”
Then, he asked curiously, “By the way, why do you want to investigate them all of a sudden?”
Adrian looked at the two men’s information and noticed they also had an accomplice. All three of
them had bad records.
They often had S** with women they had taken from bars. They would then take nude photos of
the women to threaten them not to call the police.
Caroline pinched the bridge of her nose. “Did you find any surveillance footage of them leaving
the bar?”
“No.” Adrian shook his head.
Caroline frowned in confusion. That wasn’t right. She clearly remembered those men taking her
into the car yesterday. Did she remember it wrong?
“What’s wrong?” Adrian asked with concern.
Caroline returned to her senses. “It’s nothing. Since they’re missing, I’ll just leave things at that.”
“You haven’t told me why you were investigating them,” Adrian said gently, wanting to use this
issue as a basis for understanding Caroline.

From the looks of it, Adrian really didn’t know that these two men had taken her sway Caroline frowned “I encountered them when i was drinking last night.”
“Are you” Adrian became so nervous that his face turned pale
Caroline interrupted, “I’m fine. I got home safely.”
Adrian let out a sigh of relief, then frowned “Did you go drinking alone? It’s too dangerous. If you want to go drinking, remember to call a friend.”
Caroline replied, “Okay”
Seeing her smile, Adrian said sternly, “I’m being serious!”
Caroline also realized how nervous Adrian was. She attributed it to his concern about her as a
friend and didn’t think much of it. “Okay, I promise.”
But after what happened, Caroline didn’t want to go drinking anymore.
Kirk was right. She didn’t have to
At the thought of Kirk, Caroline frowned in disgust and massaged her temples.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Adrian tried to look calm but couldn’t help feeling
concerned
Although he told himself repeatedly not to be too obvious about his feelings, he couldn’t help
noticing her every move.
Caroline said, “Maybe I didn’t get enough rest last night.”
“Then, you should take a nap.”
Adrian said, “There’s no need to play host. I’ll leave in a moment.”
Caroline felt very uneasy. “It’s rare for you to come here, and you even brought me the documents-
Adrian cut her off. “Caroline, we’re friends. Aren’t we?”
Caroline nodded.
“Since we’re friends, you don’t have to be so courteous. Otherwise, I’ll think you don’t regard me as a friend.”
Since Adrian had already insisted, Caroline didn’t say anything else. She entered the bedroom after leaving him to his devices.
Adrian bitterly smiled when he heard the door click shut. Caroline was really at ease around him
She hadn’t even locked the door behind her.
