He nodded at Caroline indifferently and was about to go upstairs. Violet immediately stopped him. If her son went upstairs and sat down in the study, no one would see him again tonight.
She wanted to give them more time alone.
"Derek, Caroline is a girl, and it's her first day here. You two are the same age. Talk to her. That's what your grandfather asked you to do."
Afraid that her son would not agree, Violet said this was Mr. Xavier's requirement.
However, Derek was not so easily swayed. It was useless for her to mention Mr. Xavier.
"I still have work to do. I have a video conference to attend to later and I can't miss it. As for Miss Baker, mom, please entertain her."
After saying that, he strode away.
Violet suddenly felt humiliated. In front of the guest, it was a disgrace that her son refused to obey her at such a trivial thing.
She was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. She smiled apologetically at Caroline, changed the subject with a random excuse, and accompanied Caroline to dinner.
Caroline sat in her room and thought of Derek, who she had just seen downstairs.
Unsurprisingly, he was even more charming in person than in the photos. She covered her heart, which was thumping, and a blush flashed across her face.
But then she could not help but frown. She had always been very confident about her appearance, but today, Derek's attitude dealt a heavy blow to her.
The man didn't even look at her. Caroline couldn't help but reach out and touch her face. Although she was disappointed, she wouldn't give up like this.
Everyone in the country knew the status of the Xavier Group. Derek was such an outstanding man, so of course she liked him. Moreover, she was so close to him, which was an advantage, and she must grasp the opportunity.
The next day.
"Derek, Caroline has been abroad for years and is not familiar with the situation at home. You'll show her around the D City later." Violet said.
Derek glanced at his mother. Something came to his mind, and instead of refusing this time, he agreed.
This surprised and delighted Violet, who was prepared to be rejected.
Caroline was also very happy in her heart. She believed that with her own excellence, as long as she had enough time, she could make Derek like her.
After breakfast, Derek got into the car, and Caroline followed him. She wanted to open the door of the passenger seat, but...
She tried two or three times, but she couldn't open it.
At this moment, the car window was rolled down a little, and Derek glanced at her, "Sit in the back."
Caroline let go of her hand awkwardly and sat in the back seat.
"Well, brother Derek..."
Derek involuntarily frowned at the way she addressed him, "Wait, you'd better call me by my full name. It sounds strange to me."
Caroline, "..."
At this moment, she felt that she was defeated before she could succeed. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but she didn't dare to show it, "I'd better call you Mr. Xavier."
Derek nodded indifferently.
He drove into the parking lot and took the president's exclusive elevator to the top floor, so no one saw Caroline.
"I'm going to have an early meeting. You can wait in the lounge."
Of course, Caroline would not have any objections.
But half an hour later, instead of Derek, another man who was also very tall and handsome came to her.
