Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline's POV: 

On Monday afternoon, Simon asked me to go out for a cup of coffee.

"So, Simon...what's up?"

"Caroline, remember what happened on Edward's birthday? I'm sorry that I… I was scared."

Simon appeared to be feeling guilty.

I gave him a smile and said, "It's fine.Charles came in to save us."

After a moment of hesitation, Simon stood from the sofa and said, "Caroline, do you mind if I take charge of the project on the east bank? I've put a lot of effort into this project and I'm quite familiar with it now."

After pondering on the subject, I nodded in agreement.

Ever since Simon became part of the company, the project on the east bank had been the one he took part in the most.

In all honesty, his proposal was undoubtedly the best choice.

Moreover, he had a good working relationship with the architect of the project, Vanessa.

I figured if they would work together, it would spark something between them.

"Thank you." Simon smiled back.

All of a sudden, my phone rang and I answered the call.

"Where are you?" asked Charles.

"I'm in a cafe with Simon," I replied.

"Send me the address. I'll pick you up."

Five minutes after he dropped the call, Charles arrived at the cafe.

I even thought that he was just near the neighborhood waiting for me.

Simon stood up and greeted him, "It's nice to see you again, Charles."

Charles smiled at him as he sat down next to me.

"Nice to see you, too.To be honest, if we had met anywhere else, I would be happier."

I could sense animosity between them.

"Anyway, I'm done talking to Simon, so let's go."
