"What are you trying to do?" Caroline's expression changed drastically.
Reid stretched out his arm, and Caroline's body fell right into Reid's embrace.
Although she was beautiful and had a lot of admirers, she had always had an aloof personality and had never had any close contact with any man. This was the first time she was so physically close to a man.
A strong scent that belonged to a male body went right into Caroline's nostrils.
Caroline started to panic even more.
She stared at Reid with her face totally flushed. "Let go of me!"
Reid had an indifferent look. "Miss Yethan, it's your fault that you still have my brother in your heart. You will only forget him after having a taste of another man."
After saying that, Reid was about to grab Caroline in his arms.
Right at that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.
A flash of light appeared in Reid's dark eyes.
He let go of Caroline at once.
When Caroline was about to get mad with Reid, she suddenly glanced through the corner of her eyes and saw that Saoirse was walking down the stairs.
She gritted her teeth and held in her anger.
Saoirse walked up to Caroline and Reid.
She looked a little sad. "Caroline, Mr. Perry, I think I'd better go back to my place first. I won't bother you both anymore."
When Caroline recalled what Reid had done just now, she did not dare to let Saoirse go at all.
She hurriedly said, "Don't go, Saoirse. Just stay here. It's not inconvenient for us at all."
Saoirse still persisted on.
Caroline had no choice but to say, "Why don't you leave at night then, Saoirse? I'll be preparing dinner tonight. Why don't you have a taste of my cooking."
Hearing Caroline's words, Saoirse had no choice but to agree to it.
Caroline finally let out a sigh of relief.
Ten minutes later, Caroline entered Reid's study while holding a knife.
Since Reid had done such a thing to her, she thought that she should give him a good warning.
Caroline pushed the door to Reid's study and hid the knife behind her back.
Seeing Caroline coming in, Reid just gave her a light glance before lowering his head, as he read the book in his hand.
Caroline said coldly, "Reid, I want to have a talk with you."
"Sure."
"I am only your ally. We just have the same enemy. I don't want you to have any other delusional thoughts!"
Reid suddenly looked up at her.
The corners of his lips curled into a cold smile. "What are you referring to, Miss Yethan?"
Caroline was furious.
Reid obviously knew what she meant.
"You are well aware of what you did earlier."
"Oh?" Reid suddenly stood up and walked towards Caroline, "What did I do?"
Seeing Reid standing in front of herself, Caroline felt the fear in her heart again.
She held the knife behind her so tightly.
"If it wasn't for Saoirse suddenly coming down, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be standing in front of you right now!" Caroline suppressed the fear in her
heart.
Reid smiled and said, "If you won't be standing in front of me, do you mean that you will be lying before me instead?"
"You!" Caroline was extremely furious.
Reid gazed at her from top to bottom. "You are a beautiful lady, men surely go after you all the time. Miss Yethan, you should blame yourself for being too beautiful, and for having my brother in your heart."
"All of this has nothing to do with you."
Reid sneered, "Get out."
"You haven't promised me yet!"
Selina smiled as she walked out of the ward. Seeing Selina disappearing from his sight, a gleam appeared in Matthew's dark eyes.
He quickly made a phone call.
He was not in the mood to drink coffee. Even if he wanted to drink it, he would surely not ask Selina to buy it for him. He just purposely got Selina to leave for awhile.
When Selina went out of the ward, she called the driver to fetch her to the cafe.
However, when she arrived at the door, she found that the doors were all closed.
She felt a little weird. On the door, it wrote that it was open from 9 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock at night. Why was it not open yet?
Selina made a call to the shop owner, through the contact that was written on the door.
The shop owner said that he had something else to do and would not open the cafe until 11 o'clock.
It was almost 10 o'clock then, thus Selina simply sat in the car and waited.
At the same time, Yesseca was also wandering around on the streets.
She was out to find a job.
Although she was going to go to the Quartley family for the re-examination on Sunday, Yesseca still wanted to give herself some other options.
If she could get any other jobs elsewhere, she wouldn't have to go for the test in that cold man's place.
However, after looking around for half a day on the street, Yesseca realized a fact.
No wonder so many people, including graduated university students like Sierra Lanes, would flock to the Quartley family to apply for the position of a servant.
It was because the salary offered by the Quartley family was just too high.
100,000 dollars a month, it was equivalent to two years worth of wage of the jobs she found.
Yesseca stopped looking.
She made up her mind that she would go to the Quartley's place on Sunday.
After thinking about it, Yesseca was about to go back.
When she walked past a street, Yesseca suddenly heard a loud cry.
She looked towards the road instinctively and her body froze.
