Chapter 400
“What?” Caroline took a step back and interrupted Kirk.
“Enough. If you’re still hesitating at this point, I doubt you’re going to tell the truth
“How about this? I’ll give you time to think about it. Once you come up with a lie, you can come and see me again.”
After saying that, Caroline picked up her luggage and strode downstairs.
Kirk caught up to her when she reached the doorway.
“Where are you going? I’ll drop you off.” Kirk gripped Caroline’s wrist as he begged sincerely.
The words to reject him stuck in Caroline’s throat. They wouldn’t come out, no matter how hard she tried. She squeezed her eyes shut.
Seeing that Caroline wasn’t rejecting him, Kirk let her go and put her luggage in the trunk.
In the car, Caroline didn’t say anything more than “Take me home“. She didn’t want to speak to Kirk, and she didn’t have the energy to talk anyway.
Kirk wanted to say something more, but Caroline had already slammed the door closed on him.
He could only stand there without saying a word.
After Cheryl got into contact with Sonia’s manager, the manager used Sonia’s social media to announce the collaboration. Cheryl also shared the post, and it was considered an official
announcement.
Since Sonia wasn’t a very famous, celebrity, Cheryl didn’t expect there to be a huge reaction to the
announcement.
But on the way home, she noticed that both Evans Group and Sonia were trending.
After a while, Cheryl finally figured out what had happened. It seemed that someone had posted

Thus, the competition between Evans Group and Evanson Corporation had been brought up again.

Someone had even published a posting asking which company people would support since both Evanson Corporation and Evans Group were going with a horoscope theme.
Naturally, Cheryl would choose Evans Group. After voting, she realized that there were only a few votes fo: Evans Group. She guessed that those votes had probably come from Sonia’s fans.
Cheryl sighed.
Jack heard her sigh as he drove. He laughed and said, “What’s wrong?”
Cheryl waved her phone in the air and told Jack about the vote online.
After listening, Jack said, “But I think Ms. Evans will win.”
“Why?” Cheryl was curious. In all honesty, she wasn’t very confident.
“Hmm. It’s a feeling, I guess.” Jack spun the steering wheel.
“Before, when she was at Thorne Corporation, everyone thought Ms. Evans had no experience and wouldn’t be better than that… What’s her name?” (1)
“Vivian Patterson.”
“Right, right.”
Then, Jack continued, “You know what happened with that.”
“Yes, that’s true.” Cheryl looked down to see all the mocking words in the comments.
“But these people don’t have faith in us. Not even the people at the company do, and this is their project.”
Yet, Jack still smiled and said, “I believe in Ms. Evans.”
Hearing Jack’s light tone, Cheryl smiled as well. But then her expression dimmed. She opened her mouth and tried to speak, but said nothing even after many attempts.
Jack was focused on driving. So he didn’t notice Cheryl’s hesitation.
Seeing how unbothered Jack was, Cheryl gave up.
Jack said he had given up on his feelings for Caroline while at Thorne Corp, but…
