George fretted over it so much that he tossed away the documents in his hands and rushed out to go after Luke.
However, Gavin called out, “Stop right there!”
“Gavin, this is our final chance! If we don’t withdraw our funds, we’ll surely lose everything we have!”
“We can’t backstab her at a moment like this!
“Business and morality are two different things. You can’t just give up on our business just because you want to
show how loyal you are to someone!” George exclaimed.
The scowl on Gavin’s face deepened. He waved his hand. His mind was made up. “I’ve decided. Listen up; if you
dare to withdraw the funds, I’ll cut ties with you!”
His tone made it clear that he wasn’t going to relent.
Seeing how determined Gavin was, George stormed out of the office, clearly pissed. Gavin spun in his chair so that
his back faced the door. He then shook his head helplessly at George’s antics.
He wouldn’t betray Caroline now, even if it meant losing money.

facing now.
She scanned through the contract once more to make sure that there was nothing wrong with it.
Then, she went through the information about Sonia.
Sonia had majored in performing arts and was talented in acting, singing, dancing, and martial
arts.
Alas, the agency she had worked for wasn’t reliable enough. They merely gave her the role of a
double or an insignificant character all the time.
Despite having worked in the entertainment industry for seven years by now, Sonia wasn’t that
famous compared to other actresses of her age.
Caroline was still focused on the documents when a shadow fell across the sheets. She heard
someone’s voice beside her.

“Caroline? The voice had a slight tremble to it, as if the person who was speaking was in disbelie
Caroline raised her head to see a disheveled–looking man. She hesitated for a bit before
recognizing who he was “Adrian?”
Adrian looked entirely different. He looked especially forlorn and listless. His bangs were so long
that they almost covered his eyebrows. He wore a maroon shirt with long sleeves and a pair of
sneakers
He seemed like he had been through a lot. Still, she noticed that his eyes gleamed as though he
had just discovered a priceless treasure.
Seeing her here, Adrian wished so badly that he could travel back in time. Earlier in the morning,
Andrea called him and asked him to make a trip here to help her get a contract signed.
She had even mentioned that the woman she was supposed to meet was a beautiful lady.
This alarmed him, and he thought that Andrea was trying to matchmake for him. So he had come
here without even washing his face.
Who knew that he would meet the person he wanted to see the least in this state?

Why don’t you order some food first? I’ll come back in a while,” he said before rushing off in
search of the manager.
Caroline blinked, confused. She ordered a few dishes, as Adrian had told her to. Soon, he returned
She couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from tilting upward when she saw him this time.
Now, he looked like a different person after making his hair. He was dressed in gray sportswear,
which made him look much more energetic.
He looked the total opposite of what he had looked like just a moment ago.
She had no idea why he reminded her of a male peacock spreading its tail for display right now.
No longer able to hold in her laughter, she burst out laughing.
Adrian scratched his head as he sat in front of her, embarrassed. “Do I look… funny?”
“No. You’re handsome.” Caroline laughed and told him.
Her response made his heart race. It reminded him of the time in Macovo when countless
thoughts passed through his mind, yet he failed to voice them out.
Now, he had the sudden urge to tell her all about them.
He stared into her eyes as though he were intoxicated by her gaze. “Caroline, there’s something I need to tell you.”
