Chapter 172
Caroline was distracted all morning. Her mind was filled with the image of Kirk’s scratched–up
abdomen
She had reason to believe that Kirk had been seducing her. He was probably trying to dumb her
down by tempting her and making her forget why they were fighting.
She had to admit that his plan was quite successful
She really couldn’t hold off much longer.
Just as she was about to let her mind run wild, she saw Cheryl walking past the door, seemingly
in a daze.
In the beginning, Caroline didn’t find anything weird about it. But after Cheryl walked past, she
sensed something amiss. “Cheryl.”
A few seconds later, Cheryl appeared at her door, looking distracted.
Her eyes were red–rimmed, and her hair stuck to her face wetly. She looked to be in a ghastly
state.
“What happened?”
Cheryl lowered her head and thinned her lips. She dared not say a word.
Caroline stood up, her hands supported on the table. “Answer me!”
Caroline had a commanding air about her, and it scared Cheryl.
She stuttered out, “I–I was just getting water in the lounge. I heard them dis–discussing you. I said something, and Susan immediately splashed coffee on my face. She said y–you…”
“What were they saying?”
“They say there’s no way you can produce something Mr. French likes with your little bit of skill. They say you’ll definitely lose this competition and embarrass yourself.”
As she finished speaking, Cheryl burst into tears.
Caroline’s expression darkened. She said blandly, “Don’t cry! Come with me!”
In the office, Susan was telling Vivian about splashing coffee on Cheryl.
