Chapter 388
After getting ready, Caroline walked out of the bathroom to see Kirk still asleep. Sighing in relief,
she went downstairs, started her car, and drove to work
Oblivious to her, Kirk was standing by the window and behind the blinds on the second floor when she entered the
garage. He silently watched her leave.
Exhausted, he massaged his temples and went back to sit on the edge of the bed.
Helplessness washed over him, and it weighed on his heart and mind. He wanted to do something
to change this but found that he couldn’t do anything at all.
In the end, he picked up his phone and called Charles.
“Sir,” Charles chirped.
He knew fairly well that Kirk had been in a foul mood for the past few days, so he had been
preparing himself to receive his next orders. Hence, he had been able to wake up right away when
he heard his phone ring.
“Did you manage to find out anything?” Kirk’s voice was dangerously low, to the point that Charles

“There were no CCTVs in the hotel in Macovo, so I could only start by searching through the guest
list. I haven’t found anything suspicious.”
“How many days has it been?” Kirk’s voice was laced with sarcasm now.
Charles straightened his back and fell silent.
“I’ll give you three more days. If you can’t discover anything, consider yourself fired!”
“Three-” Charles didn’t even manage to finish his sentence when the call ended.
He could only grip his phone and smile wryly at what was to come as the employees around him
turned to stare at him in dismay with their sunken eyes.
There was nothing Charles could do except give out orders. “He asked us to give him an answer in
three days. Otherwise, we’ll all be fired.”
Groans and howls of despair ensued following his sentence.

The leader of the group took out a cigarette and raised a hand in the air for silence He then rushed over to Charles
“Charles, how are we supposed to find out about anything in just three days?” he said, exasperated
“More than 300 people came to stay at the hotel. We’d need at least half a month to look into each of their
backgrounds. We won’t even have time to sleep if that’s even possible.”
“I know it’s been hard on you people, but this is what he wants,” Charles told him
The leader frowned and stared at him briefly before saying, “Charles, save us, please. I’ve heard that you once
made him laugh with just a single sentence when he was mad. I’m sure you have a way!*
Dumbfounded, Charles thought to himself that it wasn’t he who performed that feat, but Caroline
herself!
The leader continued, “Charles, you can’t just leave us be!”
Charles‘ head pounded in his skull. He knew very well that it was highly impossible for them to obtain the results
that Kirk wanted in just three days‘ time. So he said, “I’ll try.”
Immediately, leader beamed at him. “I have full faith in you, Charles. You’ve saved us!”
Charles said to himself that this man couldn’t be more mistaken. If they needed a savior, they had
to pray to God for Caroline to be on their side.
He frowned when he thought of her. What had Kirk done to piss her off so badly?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the same time, Caroline was surrounded by the higher–ups, who started bombarding her with
questions the moment she entered the office.
“Ms. Evans, is it true that Evanson Corp signed a contract with Daphne?”
“Does this mean that we can’t compete with them in terms of design and publicity now?”
“Should we stop production? We could stop our orders to minimize the loss.”
Caroline rested a hand against her forehead. She was lethargic enough since she couldn’t sleep
well last night.
Now, these people’s voices sounded like flies buzzing all around her, and this only served to irk
her further.
After taking a few deep breaths to compose herself, she said, ‘Do you even know what you’re
talking about? If we went to battle like this, we’d be dead before we knew it,” she told them.
The best thing we can do is settle our tasks Sales department, have you discussed things with
the stores?”
It was her turn to question them. “PR, have you figured out how to increase publicity? Design department, have you
come out with the drafts?”
As she spoke, she glanced around at those around her. Her eyes were stern, and her face was grim.
The others finally shut up.
