Chapter 240

When Caroline walked into the office, her colleagues seemed livelier than usual as they greeted her in a flurry. Nothing had changed, and yel everything had changed.

Caroline played with the pencil in her hand, still thinking about Jack. He seemed like a loyal and honest man, not some bad person. But why had he lied about the company hiring him?

She had wanted to ask him about it many times when she’d been in the car this morning. In the end, though, she didn’t.

After keeping it a secret for so long, Jack surely wouldn’t just tell her so easily. If she asked about it, he would get suspicious.
