Kirk didn’t answer Caroline’s question. Instead, he gestured with his chin. “The car’s here.”
It was then that Caroline noticed it was past 9 am.
She hurriedly shoved a slice of bread into her mouth. “I’m leaving.”
Even after Caroline got into the car, her mind was still filled with what Kirk had said. Corvin had
spent the past few days frantically looking for Vithalian pizza.
Caroline pursed her lips.
When she arrived at the design department, she felt like everyone was looking at her strangely.
They looked as though they were taking pleasure in her misfortune. It was as if something big
had happened.
After Caroline walked into her office, she called Cheryl over.
The second Cheryl came in, she quickly said, “Caroline, we’re in trouble.”
“What is it?”
“Just now I heard them say that Corvin French is here.”
“Oh?” Caroline raised an eyebrow. “Then where is he now?”
“He just left. Apparently, Vivian got him to come here. Plus, he’s already looked at her design and
praised it. He’s really pleased…”
The more Cheryl spoke, the quieter she became. “Caroline … you…
Caroline was silent for a moment before smiling. “Then has Mr. French decided to use Vivian’s
design?”
Cheryl answered, “Not yet. But from the way they’re talking about it, it seems like it.”
Caroline was still smiling. “That means he hasn’t decided yet.”
“It seems you won’t give up until the very end, Ms. Evans.”
Vivian had just walked Corvin out. She’d overheard Caroline as she’d been passing by. Confident
about winning, Vivian couldn’t help but mock Caroline.
Caroline looked up and smiled at Vivian. “I don’t have many strengths, but I’m very patient. I won’t give up easily before the results are out.”
Vivian stood straighter and said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect you to be so energetic. But after what happened yesterday, I doubt you can get Eddy to help you anymore, right?”

Her words made people burst out in laughter.
Vivian walked a few steps closer. She laughed without inhibition.
“The man who came to drive you home must be your husband, right? Your taste is really questionable. It’s no wonder that your family broke off their relationship with you considering you gave up a Morrison for a poor chauffeur.”
Caroline wasn’t bothered to retort She looked up and said blandly, “Ms. Patterson, it’s office hours right now. If you’d like to chat about my private life, I’ll have countless hours to accompany you in doing that after work.”
The smile froze on Vivian’s face. But she grinned again and went close to Caroline’s ear. She
gritted her teeth and said, “Caroline, you better enjoy your last day. Tomorrow, your position will be mine.
Once she said that, she flounced back to her office in her high heels, looking like she’d already
won.
Cheryl was close to bursting with anger.
“Caroline…”
Caroline waved a hand. “Cheryl, help me buy some things.”
Caroline gave Cheryl a list filled with food items.
“Caroline, what is this?”
“Just buy what’s on the list. Go on.”
Holding the list, Cheryl looked at Caroline worriedly. “Caroline, you weren’t driven mad by Vivian, right? You’re not trying to stuff yourself in response, are you? You don’t have to listen to her…”
Caroline cut Cheryl off and said, “Go quickly.”
After sending Cheryl off, Carolien called Jules.
When Jules found out Caroline wanted to use the company’s kitchen, he was stunned. “Of course
you can. You can use whatever else the company has.”
But then, he seemed to think of something. He comforted her. “Ms. Evans, one failure actually proves nothing. If you regret it, I can talk to Vivian The ultimatum doesn’t have to be enforced
tomorrow.”
Caroline laughed. “Mr. Hawkins, even if it’s a verbal agreement, it’s still binding. Besides, there was a witness present, so it’s effective. Since I’ve already agreed to it, going against my word
would be bad, right?”
Jules‘ mouth twitched.
