Daniella walked out through the fire exit after making that call, only to unexpectedly run into Caroline,

who was waiting for the elevator.

Daniella stood next to her and flashed a smile, hoping for some kind of acknowledgment. “What a

coincidence, Ms. Shenton.”

Caroline simply ignored her presence.

Unfazed by the cold reception, Daniella arrogantly crossed her arms and said, “I heard you haven’t

been feeling well. Should I take your place tomorrow and attend the event with Evan?”

Carline continued to act oblivious to Daniella’s words.

After being ignored repeatedly, Daniella’s humiliation grew.

She waved her arms frustratedly and spoke with a lowered voice. “Why are you acting

Caroline?”

Caroline scoffed and glared at her. “You’re breaking character just like that?”

SO

proud,

Frustration seeped through Daniella’s clenched teeth. “I told you your good days would come to an end

soon. I’ll be with Evan tomorrow night!”

Caroline looked at her, perplexed. “What’s there to be happy about, presenting yourself like a sex

worker?‘

Furthermore, Evan would never indulge in drinking at the annual dinner. Even if he did, what did

it have to do with Daniella being with him or not?

Daniella’s face paled from the rage. “You better watch out, Caroline! Don’t blame me if I show you

no mercy!”

The elevator doors opened just as Daniella finished speaking.

Caroline stepped expressionlessly into the elevator and pressed the button.

As the doors closed, Daniella’s eyes brimmed with a deep brutality, a simmering intensity fueling

her determination.

In that moment, she couldn’t help but revel in the anticipation of seeing how long Caroline could uphold

her mask of arrogance.

At five in the evening on Friday, Caroline put on a presentable and warm outfit for the annual dinner.

Upon descending the stairs, she found Evan already waiting on the couch. His black coat added to his

cold and elegant charisma. His mature features held a restrained air of sophistication. 1

She glanced at him briefly and looked away, announcing her readiness as she approached him. I’m

ready.”

Evan glanced up, giving her a thorough appraisal. Satisfied that she hadn’t worn an inappropriate attire,

he stood up with a smile.

Together, they got into the car and headed toward the Silver Hotel.

Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up at the hotel entrance.

As they stepped out, they spotted two familiar faces–Alex and Lucas.

Evan furrowed his brow as he approached them with Caroline in tow. “What are you guys doing here?”

Lucas smiled, “We came to learn from you how to organize the annual dinner for next year.”

“You could have just said you were here for the drinks if you wanted an easy entry,” Alex added.

Lucas glared at him. “Why do you always find ways to expose me?”

Growing irritated by their bickering, Evan dismissed them. “If you’re here to fight, then leave.”

“We’re good!‘ they hastily assured him.

The three of them proceeded into the hotel, with Caroline walking a few steps behind. Just before

entering the ballroom, Alex paused and turned to face her. His smile exuded warmth as he said, We’ll

have to trouble you to take Evan home tonight.”

Caroline was left speechless.

“Evan!”

Before Caroline could utter a word, Daniella’s sweet voice reached their ears.

Curiosity piqued, Alex and Lucas turned to observe Daniella running toward them.

Caroline discreetly made her way toward Paige, who happened to be engaged in conversation with

their colleagues nearby. As soon as she spotted Caroline, Paige waved her over.

“Over here, Carol!”

Caroline nodded and joined her, taking a seat beside her.

Paige playfully teased her. “Did you see that pretentious woman? Flirting at the annual dinner, how

ridiculous!”

Caroline pulled her friend closer and whispered, “There are many people here. Let’s not say that.”

Paige slapped her hand in irritation. “You’re way too nice!”

She handed Caroline a glass of fresh juice from the table. “I had the waiter make this fresh for

you. It’s packed with vitamins.”

Caroline accepted the drink with a grateful smile. Thanks.”

Soon, all the employees arrived, and the MC took the stage to give a speech.

The lucky draw this year still employed the same drawing number system as the previous years

Caroline received the number 8.1

In the initial rounds, she didn’t win anything, but in the final round, she struck luck and won 5,999

dollars.

Her colleagues couldn’t help but envy her as she ascended the stage to claim her prize.

Paige grabbed Caroline’s hands and yelled in excitement as she came down from the stage. You’re so

lucky!”

Caroline instinctively glanced over at Evan, who was seated at the main table.

However, she quickly averted her gaze when she noticed Daniella serving him food with a smile.

Paige grinned mischievously. “I think the boss did it on purpose!”

Caroline was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“I remember you won a laptop worth over 4,000 dollars last year! It was the most expensive prize! And

two years ago, you won 2,200 dollars. It wasn’t the most expensive prize, but it was the second most

expensive prize. Tell me, who can be this lucky for three years in a row? You’re the only one who can’t

see it.”

Caroline’s expression froze, and she couldn’t help but furrow her brow as she looked at the check

in her hand.

Paige’s words made sense, but Caroline wasn’t vain enough to assume such things.

An hour later, Alex suddenly approached her and grabbed her arm. “Ms. Shenton, I think you should

check on your Mr. Jordan.”

Paige moved to intervene when Caroline was unexpectedly grabbed. “Who are you? Let go of Carol!”

Alex glanced at Paige, studying her closely. “Are you willing to take responsibility if someone else

steals his heart?”

Paige was stunned, and her gaze involuntarily shifted toward Evan. There, she saw Daniella

on Caroline’s arm.

She turned her head away and gave Caroline a nudge. “Be assertive and take him back!”

Alex raised an eyebrow, surprised by Paige’s reaction, then swiftly whisked Caroline away within

seconds.
