Chapter 83 Are You Trying To Come Back

Caroline made her way back upstairs to Evan’s room after finishing her breakfast.

Just as she was about to enter, Daniella opened the door and approached her. Her eyes darted. toward Caroline’s belly as she commented, “You’re nearly four months along, aren’t you?”

Caroline regarded her with a guarded expression. “What are you trying to insinuate?”

Daniella put on a gentle smile. “1,wonder if you haven’t told him because you’re afraid he might ask you to get an abortion or if you’ve been hiding something from him. Say, for example, being pregnant with someone else’s child.‘

Caroline scoffed. “Do you think everyone is like you?”

Daniella’s face froze for a moment. “Then why haven’t you told him about me?”

“What’s the point of telling him now? Caroline took a step closer, her voice laced with a sense of

vindictiveness. “I simply enjoy reminding you from time to time. I want you to live in pain, to see you filled with worry, fear, and anger. It brings me happiness, Daniella, you better pray that the

child inside you is Evan’s. Otherwise, even I can’t predict the consequences.”

Without waiting for a response, Caroline turned away and returned to Evan’s room.

Daniella stared at the closed door with intense fury. Soon enough, Caroline wouldn’t be reveling in

her misery anymore!

She then proceeded to Evan’s study and entered the room. Inside, she spotted a safe with three

locks. Furrowing her brows, she recalled Nic mentioning that some safes were custom–made and

had only one working lock out of the three. Triggering the wrong locks without the correct one. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

would set off an alarm.

She bit her lip in contemplation. There was no safe in Evan’s office. Perhaps she should carry out

her plan in the office.

She casually grabbed a book and walked out. Back in her room, she sent a message to the young

secretary.

“Try to get Caroline to come to the office.”

The young secretary promptly contacted Caroline upon receiving the message.

[Do you have a moment, Ms. Shenton?]

Caroline who was in the middle of reading the news, responded after reading the message.

[Yes, what’s up?)

[Could you drop by the office, Ms. Shenton?)

The young secretary briefly explained the issue.

After some consideration, Caroline replied.

[Sure, I understand. Don’t move the file, I’ll guide you later.]

No longer being part of MK’s staff, Caroline needed Evan’s permission to access the office, She retrieved his phone number and dialed it.

The call connected quickly, and Evan’s tired voice came through. ‘What’s the matter?!

Caroline explained, “The young secretary I mentored needs me to come to the office. She made a mistake in a file that’s quite substantial, and it needs to be completed by the end of the month. Since I don’t have a computer here, can I come by to help her?”

He smirked. “What? Can’t move on from MK? Are you trying to come back?”

Caroline suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. “I take responsibility for the mistakes made by the person I mentored. It’s not that I want to return

His face sank, and his voice became cold. Tll inform the front desk. I’m hanging up!”

She was taken aback. He had been in a good mood just moments ago, so why did he suddenly

snap?

She informed Lily and changed her clothes before leaving the house. Daniella followed suit and they both hailed a taxi to the MK office, Caroline first, then Daniella closely behind.

Upon arriving, Caroline spoke to the front desk and made her way upstairs. The familiar

surroundings of the office building brought back a wave of nostalgia.

She took a deep breath and headed towards the president’s office. Since she was here, it was only

appropriate to greet Evan.

Just as she approached the office, she heard a scoff from behind her.

“Hah, I knew it had to be you, Caroline. You’ve already resigned, so why are you back?”

Caroline turned around upon hearing the voice. She faced her former colleague, Ms. Walker.

“How have you been, Ms. Walker?‘ Caroline greeted her with a smile, taking a good look at her.

“Ms. Walker, you’re more experienced than me no matter what. Now that I’m gone, why aren’t you

sitting on the leader’s throne?

“Caroline, you may have left, but you have no right to gloat over me! Does Mr. Jordan even know

you’re here? I can have security escort you out for trespassing MKI Ms. Walker retorted, her face

Caroline’s smile faded, and she stared at her flatly. Feel free to try

Ms. Walker frowned. “A–Are you back?”

Let’s see if security comes.

Caroline didn’t dignify her with a response. Instead, she turned away and approached Evan’s office

door, knocking on it.

“Come in.” came the hoarse voice of Evan from within the office.

Ms. Walker was dumbstruck to see her going in.

Inside the office, Caroline’s gaze swept across the empty secretary’s desk at the side. Then, she looked at Evan and said, “I just wanted to say hello before going to assist the young secretary.”

Evan closed the documents on his desk, glanced at her, and stood up. “Okay. I’ll be at the project

site.”

He walked past her toward the door but turned around before leaving. I’ll take you out to dinner

later.”
