Gordon said slowly. “That man is Kai Strauss, my mentor.”

Layla shuddered. Of course, she knew who the renowned Kai Strauss was.

After Kai had retired, the Morrisons had tried to get him to come out of retirement many times.

However, they had always been rejected.

How could Caroline manage such a feat?

Gordon said, “He’s my mentor. Could I have mistaken him for someone else?”

Kai hadn’t even looked at Gordon just now. It was as if Kai was very disappointed in him.

Kai didn’t drop Caroline off at her apartment. Instead, he sent her to Kirk’s villa.

When she saw the building, Caroline turned to ask Kai something, but he’d already driven off.

Looking at the half–opened front door, she walked up hesitantly and pushed it open.

The smell of fresh cooking wafted in the air. The door to the kitchen was wide open. Through it,

Caroline could see someone busying themselves inside.

Right then, Caroline’s nerves settled for some reason.

“You’re back.” Kirk walked out holding a pan. He had on a gray apron. His expression was neutral as

he looked at Caroline. His eyes were firmly fixed on her.

“Yes,” Caroline said with difficulty.

“I’m almost done. We can eat in a bit. Just wait a second.”

After saying that, Kirk went back to continue cooking.

Caroline followed him. Do you need help?

“There’s no heed‘ Kirk’s motions ment practiced. It looked like it was his first time cooking.

A tablet by the hot was playing a cooking tutorial on repeat

“Is this your first time? Caroline was a little shocked

Kink replied. “Yes”

“I couldn’t tel.”

Although Kirk seemed unaccustomed to it, he seemed competent. That was the most surprising thing.

Kirk dumped the finished dish onto a plat

Caroline took the plate out and put it on the table. Then she sat opposite Kirk

“Have a taste

Caroline nodded and started digging into one of the dishes.

After taking a bite, Carline laughed. “It doesn’t look like much, but it tastes great. You’re naturally

talented.”

Kirk paused before serving himself a portion. His expression turned pleasant.

Eating in harmony, neither of them talked about the police incident. Still, Caroline had already guessed

that Kirk had been the one who’d

hired Kal

Kal was someone not even the Morrison family could influence.

Caroline stole a look at Kirk. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to bring it up.

“Isn’t it to your taste? Kirk asked.

He’d noticed Caroline looking.

Caroline shook her head and put down her cutlery. She asked, “Did you hire Kai Strauss?”

Kirk nodded.

“How did you convince him to do it?”

“I’d helped him once.”

Kirk wasn’t lying. He’d indeed helped Kai before.

Back in the day, when Kai had been helping Morrison Corp fight a transnational lawsuit, he’d often

received death threats.

Although the Morrison family may be powerful in Easton, that wasn’t true elsewhere. In the end, Kirk

had sent men to protect Kal.

That was why Kai felt so grateful to Kirk. When he’d heard that Kirk was looking for his help, he’d flown

in from Honordale immediately.

Caroline realized that Kirk wasn’t going to elaborate, but she didn’t ask anything more. She continued

eating.

After she finished, Kirk didn’t allow her to clear the table. “You go and have a soak. Rest.”

Caroline was indeed tired. She went upstairs and prepared a bath for herself.

As she slipped her body into the tub, Caroline couldn’t help but let out a low moan.

Caroline quickly fell asleep. It wasn’t clear whether she’d succumbed to the comfort or the fatigue.

In her half–consciousness, Caroline felt a strong pair of arms holding her. They pulled her out of the

water.

“You might catch a chill”

When Kirk brushed a towel on her skin, Caroline shuddered. The motion had brought hints of electricity

with it. They Jolled Caroline completely awake.

When Caroline saw Kirk kneeting before her, trying to dry her, she turned red.

‘Let me do it myself-

Caroline tugged at the towel and used it to cover herself.

Kirk raised his head. When he spoke, his voice was husky. “Go to sleep. I’ll carry you back to bed once

I dry you off.”

Caroline didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy anymore. She gripped the towel tighter. “There’s no need. I

can do it myself.”

Kirk’s eyebrows furrowed for a second. Then, they relaxed again.

He got up. His wet shirt stuck to his defined abs like a second skin.

Caroline didn’t dare to let her gaze wander down. She hurried him out.

When the door closed, she finally let out a breath. She sat on the edge of the bathtub, still holding the

towel.

Kirk had helped her a lot. Caroline owed him more than a dozen favors by now.

Especially today, when he’d even gotten Kai to come and help her.

She was afraid that the only way she could repay him was to give him her body.

Yet when she thought of the other woman Kirk had, she felt disgusted. Especially because that woman

was Brie.
