Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 197

"No way. Don’t be silly." Gilbert paused, a look of confusion crossing his face. "Why would you even think that?"

Caroline laughed, hiding her displeasure behind a playful smirk. "Just kidding. Why so serious?"

She continued, "I'm here on business."

Nexus Media Group, a subsidiary of the Johnson Group, naturally had its offices within the grand Johnson Group building.

Today, she had come to hand over her responsibilities to her agent, aiming to scale back her workload as much as possible. Any ongoing projects, of course, had to be completed.

"All settled." Standing up, Caroline added, "Just thought I'd drop by and say hi. I've got to go now. Big show tonight."

"Okay," Gilbert nodded. "I won't keep you..."

"Oh, right." Before Gilbert could finish, Caroline glimpsed the two brown paper packages on the coffee table, pointing at them curiously. "What's these?"

"Oh, these?" Gilbert had just noticed them himself then. They were the candy apples he had asked his secretary to buy.

"It's candy apples," he admitted.

"Huh?" Caroline couldn't help but laugh. "Since when did you start liking these?"

"Well..." Gilbert was embarrassed to say they were for Sherilyn.

"Just for snacking," he said vaguely.

"Really? Are they good?" Bending down, Caroline opened one of the packages and popped a candy into her mouth. "Hmm, pretty good."

"Yeah." Gilbert barely noticeably furrowed his brows and picked up the now-unwrapped package. "Here, you take this one."

"Really?" Caroline chuckled. "Isn't this yours?"

"What are you saying?" Gilbert laughed. "It's just a bag of desserts. I wouldn't keep them from you."

Especially since Caroline had opened it, he couldn't give it to Sherilyn.
