Chapter 114 I'll Do My Best

18 min left

After picking up Eloise from kindergarten, Alistair went straight to Mabel's place. Caroline was attending a business cocktail party tonight.

She typically avoided business networking events whenever possible, sending Julian as her representative when attendance was mandatory.

But living in the business world meant she couldn't escape all social obligations.

She only made personal appearances when Julian couldn't stand in for her.

Her deliberately low-profile demeanor meant that most people who hadn't directly interacted with her had no idea she was the CEO of Vireon Technologies.

The lavish ballroom was filled with New York's elite. Designer clothes, perfectly styled hair, and champagne glasses clinked all around.

After entering, Caroline immediately handed off her social duties to Julian. She grabbed a glass of red wine and found a quiet corner to hide in.

Thanks to her hands-off approach, Julian essentially represented her in public. If she hadn't needed to sign a contract tonight, she might not have attended the event.

Boring. It's incredibly boring.

She glanced disinterestedly at the men and women networking and seeking opportunities around her, while her thoughts drifted to where Alistair and Eloise were right now.

Caroline glanced down at her phone to see a new message from Alistair-a video of Eloise playing with a chubby white puppy in the garden.

She found it strange.

She immediately texted back: [Where did the puppy come from?]

Alistair replied instantly: [Mabel found it abandoned on the street today while she was out.]

Caroline understood then.

It was fate that made Mabel break her own rule.

She continued chatting with Alistair about trivial everyday things.
