The doors opened just then, and Kirk entered the office. “You’re awake,” he said.
“Where were you?” Caroline turned to stare at him, her eyes full of worry. Abruptly, she noticed
her toothbrush and cup in his hands.
Kirk smirked. “Why didn’t you sleep for a bit longer?”
“It’s already 7 am. It’s about time for me to leave.”

deepened the kiss. She struggled to pull away for air.

Embarrassed, Caroline pounded her fists against his chest. “Are you starving or what?”
“Yes, I am.” Kirk laughed, which made her blush even further.
She took the toothbrush and cup from him and rushed out of the office to freshen up.
She came back shortly after that to see Kirk sitting in her chair and flipping through the contract.
She wasn’t alarmed, though. She simply let him carry on with what he was doing.

Caroline was munching on her breakfast when he spoke.
She laughed, amused. “Evans Group isn’t the same as before.
“Things have been worse since the company fell from grace back then.”
She continued, “We’re lucky enough that it’s still here.”
“So, you’re doing all this so that Evans Group can rise from the ashes, huh?”
Putting her breakfast down, Caroline pursed her lips in thought.

company was in the past and the present. It will take a long time for it to regain its glory.”

“It’s fine.” Kirk smiled reassuringly at her.
“Let’s go.”
Still, she couldn’t stop herself from glancing at him in concern. Only after that did she ask Jack to
start driving.
However, Kirk’s phone rang again just as they exited the underground car park. This time, though,
he didn’t answer the call.
