“He’s in the lounge now. Would you like to meet him?” asked Simon.
“It’s only right for me to thank him in person. Can you show me the way?”
“Of course.”
Simon dropped what he was working on and ushered Caroline to the lounge.
On the way there, Caroline couldn’t hold back her racing heart. She was about to meet the mysterious business tycoon. In an attempt to
calm down, she rubbed her temples.
“We are here,” said Simon after a few minutes of walking. He then turned to Caroline and said, “I shall take my leave now.”
Caroline nodded. After Simon disappeared, she knocked on the door. She did it a few more times, but only silence answered her.
Meekly, Caroline uttered, “Hi there, Mr. Morrison. I’m Caroline. I invited you to dinner last time, but you couldn’t come. If it weren’t for your
help today. I…”
“What are you doing here?” A husky voice from behind made Caroline jump.
She turned around, flustered. “Why are you here?”

As Kirk looked down, his eyes landed on Caroline’s slender collarbone. The urges he’d tried so hard to suppress flared up again, making him frown. “I’m here to help out. It’s my grandpa’s birthday. What about you?”

“Oh?” Kirk lifted his eyebrows. “Are you into him?*
Peeved by Kirk’s mocking tone, Caroline retorted, “I respect him a lot, so don’t talk about him like that.”
All of a sudden, Kirk closed the distance between them, He held Caroline’s waist in one hand and grabbed the door handle with another. As the panicking Caroline floundered in his embrace, his primal instincts kicked in.
“Stop.”
Clumsily, he tried to wipe away the tears, but they wouldn’t stop appearing. He gave up, and instead, he leaned in and kissed Caroline. That did the trick. Caroline ceased crying.
