Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1087

Aside from Candida, Sherilyn's other two male bodyguards were rarely seen. Yet at this moment, they were blocking the doorway, standing like sentinels. Karol, visibly anxious, was the one they were blocking.

"Let me in!" she insisted.

"This is Ms. Gomez's private lounge," one of the bodyguards replied coldly. "Please leave immediately."

"I..." Karol's brow furrowed as she pointed towards the room, urgency in her voice. "I'm here to see her!" The bodyguard remained unfazed. "Do you think Ms. Gomez is someone anyone can just drop in to see?" Karol was taken aback, "I'm her friend! My name is Karol! If you tell her I'm here, she'll meet with me!"

One of them said, "I'll check with Candida."

"Alright," the other replied, maintaining his stance in front of Karol.

"It's her," the bodyguard explained, "She claims to be Karol, a friend of Ms. Gomez."

"Karol?" Candida echoed.

"Yes!" Karol looked at them with pleading eyes, "I'm not lying. I really am Sherilyn's friend."

"Hmph," Candida gave her a once-over, a faint, icy smile playing on her lips. "So, you're the infamous Karol."
