Chapter 19

“It proves just how good he is at his job. So, what did you make for us today?” Kirk changed the topic so flawlessly that Caroline did not notice it and went ahead introducing the food she made.

Kirk volunteered to do the dishes after enjoying the scrumptious food she prepared. Caroline had nothing to do, so she took out her computer and searched for a movie to watch.

She picked a comedy and completely forgot that another human being was present in her home as she indulged herself in the movie.
