Chapter 99
Gwen burst out laughing. “And you tell me you don’t have feelings for him. You’re thinking on behalf of him already.”
“Gwen!” Caroline’s cheeks turned red.
After recomposing herself, Gwen told her, “Fine! I won’t go after Sean then.” She sighed and added, “What a shame! You’ll have to find me another handsome guy as compensation!”
Caroline could finally sigh in relief. “That’s not a problem. I can find you any type of guy that you want.” They chatted and giggled their way back to the private room.
Once they entered the room, Kirk’s gaze automatically fell on Caroline. Noticing this, Sean stood from his seat and asked, “It’s still early. Why don’t we go to the movies?”
“No, thanks.” Gwen wanted nothing to do with Sean now, so she appeared to be distancing herself from him. “Carol and I are going shopping. Thanks for the treat!”
Her reply took Sean by surprise, but he was quick to respond. “Let Kirk and I go with you. We can help you carry your things.”
Sean regretted his words instantly. Kirk had never helped anyone carry their bags before.
However, to his astonishment, Kirk was already rising from his seat with his coat folded over one hand.
At the end of the day, Sean’s eyes had a feast as he got to watch Kirk with both his hands full, carrying both the ladies‘ shopping bags.
If Sean’s hands weren’t full with shopping bags too, he would definitely have taken pictures of Kirk and posted them online. It would surely send the internet into a frenzy.
Night had fallen. Now worn out, Caroline and Gwen finally decided to go home. Sean was in charge of sending Gwen home, while Caroline somewhat reluctantly got into Kirk’s car.
Neither Caroline nor Kirk spoke on their way back home.
When they arrived, Caroline got out of the car to get the bags in the back seat, but Kirk beat her to it.
“Let’s go,” he said.
Among all those shopping bags that the two men had carried just now, only two of them belonged to Caroline. The remaining bags were all Gwen’s. Caroline glanced at the bags in Kirk’s hands and followed after him.
The moonlight fell on them, casting their shadows at an angle that made them look like they were standing right next to each other.
Caroline blushed and slowed down.
“Why did you buy only two sets of clothes?” Kirk’s voice sounded distant, as though they were miles apart.
Her breath caught in her throat, and she shifted her gaze from her shadow to look at him. “I’m going to wear them when I go to work in the
future.”
Caroline’s wardrobe consisted of only casual wear. She didn’t have any formal clothes that she could wear to work.
“So you’re sure that you’ll win the contest?” Kirk pondered aloud.
The mention of the design contest put a smile on Caroline’s face. “I think so. It feels honorable to win it, regardless of which place I get. When the time comes for me to write my resume, it’ll no longer be blank either.”
Kirk opened the door to the villa and stood, waiting for her.
Beyond the door, everything was pitch black, Caroline abruptly raised her head, and Kirk could see how bright and clear her eyes were under the moonlight.
“Kirk.”
“Huh?”
“I think it’s best we keep things the way they are right now,” she said. “It’s like we’re friends who help each other out. Although you’re the
