Hayden gestured in an invitation for Caroline to have some tea.
Caroline was not reserved about it either and picked up the teacup to take a small sip of tea. “This is good.”
“All the things I have here are good,” Hayden said. “Everything Kevin sent me is of top quality.”
The tea was one that she kept prepared here though, and was not given by Kevin.
“Is there really no room to maneuver regarding what we talked about the last time?”
Caroline put down her teacup and asked Hayden gently.
Hayden met Caroline’s gaze with an earnest look and said meaningfully, “I’ll only work with you, not Fisher Enterprise. I won’t work with any company related to the Fishers.”
The one she valued was Caroline, not the Fisher family. Caroline did not represent the Fishers either.
Caroline smiled. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me. Then, I’ll treat you to a meal tonight.”
With her other identity.
Hayden did not immediately agree, so Caroline teased, “Do you have a date with Kevin?”
Hayden admitted, “We’re going to have dinner together before catching a movie.”
The couple could now openly go on a date.
Caroline said enviously, “That’s nice. Then when will you be free?”
“I won’t be free for the next two weeks. I won’t be coming to work tomorrow. Kevin’s taking me on a holiday for the next two weeks to relax.”
Hayden had never properly rested during the many years she had been supporting Queen Enterprise. Even during Christmastime, she had to attend various work functions. It had been hard for her to get a true rest where she could not care about anything.
Caroline expressed, “I’m envious. I’m so envious—I want to take a vacation too but this is the busiest time for me. There’s no rush, then. You should go on your holiday and take a good break. You must be exhausted after all these years too.”
Hugh was not incapable, but he was happy to take it easy since there was someone else shouldering the heavy burden for him.
When needed, he would rise to the occasion.
“I’ll arrange everything. You can talk to Hugh about the collaboration.”
Caroline hummed in acknowledgment. “I’ll go drop in on him later then.”
Hayden also lifted her teacup and took a few sips of tea before putting it back down and asking Caroline, “Are things at home alright?”
Caroline laughed self-deprecatingly. “How could it be alright? Everyone has their own ambitions and Celine hasn’t given up yet. She’s been secretly keeping in contact with my three brothers and getting money from them behind my sisters-in-law’s backs.”
