Charles' POV:
I drove to the Wilson Group.
Massaging my aching temples, I got off the car, and lit a cigarette, leaning against my car.
Soon, I saw Caroline among the crowd.
She was dressed in a pale ash gray coat which was simple yet well-tailored, and underneath it, she was wearing a white dress that enhanced her gentleness and her elegance.
The man beside her was Simon.
Why did he appear with her everywhere?
He was a total buzzkill!
Tossing the cigarette aside, I walked over to her.
"Caroline."
She was cracking jokes with her colleagues, but the moment she saw me, she stopped.
She stood there coldly with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
"It has only been one night since we last saw each other, Mr. Moore. Why do you look so haggard? Looks like taking care of Raina all night must be really exhausting."
"I didn't do anything of that sort..."
"It is time for lunch now, Mr. Moore. If you want to discuss about work with me, then you can come during office hours."
After interrupting me coldly, Caroline glanced at her watch and asked her colleagues to leave.
I reached out my hand to touch her, but my hand was pushed away instantly.
"You'd better not touch her!" Simon hissed with a serious expression.
They looked like the perfect couple, and seeing them being so intimate, I could not help but get jealous. Scenes from my nightmare kept flashing in my mind.
I pressed my forehead and smiled with selfmockery before I stared at Caroline and asked, "Is he the man?"
With a bright smile, Caroline clung to Simon's arm and said, "Yes, it's him."
She then looked into Simon's eyes with an affectionate smile, completely ignoring me.
Suppressing the pain in my heart, I sneered and said in a deep voice, "I see."
She looked at me indifferently with a satirical smile on her lips. "Now that you know we're together, don't show up in front of us again. Your presence alone bothers me."
After saying those words, she held his arm and walked away.
"Stop! Caroline, what is it that you want?" I called out to her.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around with coldness in her eyes that almost scared me. "I want to take back everything that belongs to me."
Frowning, I was about to say something when she added, "I have decided to date Simon, so please don't bother us again, Mr. Moore. And don't send me worthless stuff!"
Her cold words felt like a knife in my chest. It seemed that she did not care for the things that I had sent her.
"Scarlett!" I called out angrily.
Simon's POV:
Completely ignoring Charles, Caroline dragged me away.
I couldn't contain my joy when I saw her holding my hand tightly.
Did it mean that she was no longer attached to the past, and that my chance had finally arrived? Besides, did she mean what she just said? About us being together?
