"What did you just say?" Caraline clucked, looking at Deric with a flushed face. "You're annoying."Caraline quickly left Deric, climbing the stairs with a frown on her face and her arms folded across her chest. Her gaze would fall on the door of the house, seeing whether or not he would follow. However, after waiting for a few seconds, Deric was nowhere to be seen walking through the door."Deric must be too shy to express his feelings," Caraline said with a faint smile trapped at the corners of her lips, "he must learn how to express his feelings for me."Caraline entered the room, spending some time observing the public's assessment of her performance during yesterday's event. She had gotten many positive reviews although some people had commented on the contrary. She recognized that she would never be able to satisfy everyone's taste.Caraline left the room as she prepared to leave to meet Diego. He had already informed her that he was on location. Unlike yesterday's event, Carali

"So what's your answer, Caraline?" Diego asked after a moment of silence. He was still on his knees. "To be honest, I can no longer contain my feelings for you. Your image has refused to leave since the first time we met. You have captured my heart and mind."Caraline covered her mouth with one hand, staring at Diego and the ring box in disbelief. To be honest, if the one kneeling in front of her was Deric, she would have wasted no time in accepting it even if she had to act angry and snappy first."You know, this is an unexpected event for me." Caraline let out a long breath, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She knew that Diego was openly showing interest in her. It was just that she didn't have any feelings for him even though he was perfect.Caraline leaned her back against the back of the chair, thinking deeper to find answers. Her heart and mind were already occupied by Deric and there was no room for another man. All Caraline had to think about now was how to answer Diego'

Helen scanned the surroundings carefully, walking around corners right and left in search of Caraline's whereabouts. "Gosh, how did all this happen? Stevan and I have maximized our security.""Miss Helen," Lucy called from the balcony of the room.Helen quickly approached. The sound of car horns clashed with the swearing of drivers. The city's security alarm was screeching. Several police officers tried to regulate the speed of vehicles and win over residents.A different scene occurred near the building that the two women were currently occupying. The street was silent and free of vehicles."Where exactly did Miss Caraline and Mr. Diego go?" asked Helen with her eyes scanning the room and the front yard in turn. She quickly contacted the bodyguards on duty at Caraline's residence. They were still on their way.Lucy looked thoughtful. She checked her phone for a moment, then sent a message to a number.Helen observed Lucy's actions. The woman seemed calm and far from panicked. "Lucy,

"What do you mean, fucking woman?" Diego violently swatted Lucy's hand away from his jacket. He stared angrily at the woman in front of him."Lucy," Helen muttered, shaking her head in disbelief. She watched the video on her phone screen. There was nothing strange or wrong with it for a few seconds, but that suddenly changed when Diego asked Caraline to close her eyes.Helen was dumbfounded as she watched the rest of the video. She remembered the rumors that Diego had been named in several criminal cases. After watching the video, she could deduce something."What's this all about, Mr. Diego?" Helen asked with a sharp look."It's not what you think, Helen," Diego replied, "this woman must have fabricated the video. There's no way I intended to harm Caraline. What I'm doing right now is out of concern.""You can't get away with it, Mr. Diego Fulhert," Lucy pointed out, "in this video, it's very clear that you poured something into Miss Caraline's drink before she lost consciousness.

Lucy retreated with the help of her elbow. When she saw a flower vase, she didn't hesitate to throw it at the man who attacked her.The man collapsed with a loud crash."I have to go help Miss Helen." Lucy tried to get up, then made sure that the group of men were completely unconscious. Once she was sure that they were completely down, she walked away with her legs still hurting.Meanwhile, Helen quickened her pace when she saw Diego about to enter a room. She could see the horrified face of the evil man."Stop it, Diego!" Helen shouted."Damn woman!" Diego chuckled, then reluctantly kicked a flower peg at Helen.Helen tried to dodge it, but it landed on her left hip. As a result, she fell to the ground. "Please stop ....""I'll let you live a little longer this time. After I enjoy Caraline, I'll finish you, Helen," Diego said, laughing loudly. He quickly took a card from his coat pocket.Diego certainly wasn't going to leave until he had Caraline. He had been waiting for this moment

Caraline woke up when the sun was already at the top of the sky. She looked around and was surprised to realize that she was in a hospital. As she was about to change into a sitting position, she felt an extreme dizziness in her head.Caraline turned toward the door as the doctor and several nurses approached her. Although still disoriented, the woman didn't ask many questions. She let out a long breath when she was alone in the room again."What exactly happened to me?" asked Caraline, trying to remember what happened last night. She looked around for her cell phone. "Helen, are you outside the room? Come here I need you.""Helen, can you hear me?""Helen, can you hear me?"Caraline turned toward the door when Helen did not come. She repositioned herself to sit on the bed as she massaged her head. There were no injuries on her body, but her head was currently very dizzy."Lucy, are you outside?" asked Caraline as she tried to get down. She had to hold on to the edge of the bed as she

Caraline swiped the green button to accept Diego's call."Hello, did you hear me?" Diego asked on the other end."Yes," Caraline replied as she lay down on the bed."How are you doing now, Caraline? Have you heard from the media about what happened last night?" Diego coughed a few times."Yes." Caraline closed her eyes, lying on her left side, staring at the sunlight trapped in the slightly open curtains."I'm sorry to hear about the condition of Helen, Stevan, and your secretary Lucy. If I could turn back time, I certainly wouldn't have held that meeting. I apologize to you for that," Diego said.Diego paused for a moment. "I hope we can meet again to talk about this matter. The burning of the building is an event that we must investigate together to its roots. Right now, my subordinates are trying to catch the brains behind it. Either way, the culprit must be severely punished for taking so many lives, both yours and mine."Caraline did not want to talk to Diego at the moment. To be

Caraline left the hospital a few minutes later. She was spotted in the lobby of the hospital by the media, but luckily managed to escape and return home safe. When she arrived at her residence, she was greeted with worried looks from the maids.Caraline was slapped with reality after seeing how helpless Helen and Stevan looked. Although she had always said that the relationship was all about professionalism at work, in reality, both people had their place in her life, including the maids who greeted her today.Caraline could tell the worry and anxiety on their faces. These people did not have any blood ties to her or were not even an important part of her life. However, right now she felt something different.Caraline felt that she had been too closed off. She only gave someone her trust after judging them long enough. The fear of being betrayed or hurt by those closest to her is why she does this."I want to rest," Caraline said as she entered the house. She could see the looks of sa
