Caroline grabbed my hand directly and looked behind me.
At that moment, I strongly felt there was a pair of cold eyes behind me.
Without any deliberation, I knew what was going on.
After I was sure that Caroline stood firm, I loosened my grip and said without looking back, 'Are you done with your acting? Cameras are all around here. How come you wanted to put on a show, acting like I pushed you and caused your miscarriage?"
"I didn't."
Caroline stood there with tears in her eyes, looking in the direction behind me.
I asked her, "How could there be so many coincidences in the world? As soon as Mr. Cowell showed up, I pushed you. Are you a fool? Or do you take Mr. Cowell as a fool?"
"I didn't..."
By this time, tears had been welling up in Caroline's eyes as if they would fall in the next second.
I didn't bother with her as I said, "Take your
time to complain to Mr. Cowell, telling him that I quarreled with you, intending to push you and make you lose your baby. I don't care."
At this time, I didn't want to explain further anymore.
I was so tired.
I got home in the evening and wanted to rest. Then I received a phone call from Serena.
She said that she wanted to redesign somewhere in the hall.
The Engineering Department of my company had visited her restaurant that afternoon. She asked me whether I could go check the site and rush to figure out the design drawings within today.
For this reason, the two of them specifically drove to pick me up.
After that, they showed me somewhere in the lobby, saying that they wanted to make a small fish pond there with a glass plate on it.
I measured its size and communicated with them briefly. Then I went home and began to work on new drawings.
It wasn't difficult for me to work on new drawings. However, when it came to the shape of the fish pond, they had their own ideas about it. So I made changes to the drawings a few times
By the time I went to bed, it had been 1 a.m.
Early the next morning, I struggled to get up and went to the company. Then I was assigned with a client and a project about commercial housing.
I roughly talked with the client about my thoughts for a while.
I, who hadn't slept well over these days, took a leave that afternoon and went back home to sleep.
It was unknown how long I had been sleeping. However, I was woken up by fierce knocking on the door.
I, who was sleeping in a daze at that time, got up and opened the door without any deliberation.
As soon as the lock was unlocked, the door was pushed open from the outside, hitting directly on my face!
I, who was in pain, was no longer sleepy and instantly sobered up.
"Where's Caroline?"
The person who came in was Gina!
Her eyes were red. And there were conspicuous dark circles under her eyes. Her face was haggard.
At first glance, it was obvious that she had cried and that she hadn't had a good rest.
I somewhat regretted opening the door. Since the open had opened, nothing else I could do.
I rubbed my face and said, "Why did you come here to look for her?"
"Where is Caroline?" Gina put her hands on my shoulders and stared at me closely. Unexpectedly, she said in a pleading voice, "Please, tell me, where is Caroline?"
At this time, I finally sobered up. Looking at Gina, I looked confused, "Why did you want to look for her in my place? How could she have come to me?"
Gina said with certainty, "Caroline surely is with you!"
Gina said with certainty.
"Why? No way that she can't be with me."
