Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV:

I had arranged for Elena and Carlos to go to France with my father to protect him. Tracy and Janet, however, stayed by my side for my protection. 

Nina and I met at a restaurant for lunch one day. While we were walking out of the restaurant, I saw several luxury cars come into a halt in front of the establishment. The convoy attracted the attention of the passersby. They stopped and stared at the cars with awe. 

At this moment, the car doors opened one after another, and bodyguards in black uniforms got out of the car. Some surrounded me, while others stood not far away from me. I stopped in my tracks, perplexed by what was happening. 

Seeing my confusion, Janet walked up to me, pointed at the men in black, and explained, “Mrs. Moore, what you see was arranged by our boss. He’s worried that Adam will return for revenge, so he asked more bodyguards to protect you.” 

As I stared at the bodyguards, a smile tugged at my lips. I felt amused and, at the same time, moved. 

“I must admit, it’s so ostentatious. But it seems that Charles has been doing a great job!” Nina winked at me meaningfully. 

“We’d better not go out in the next few days. It’ll be bad if we really get ourselves into danger,” I reminded her. 

Although Adam had already been arrested, who knew if he had a backup plan? It was better to be safe than sorry.

Nina nodded in agreement. 

“You’re right. Caroline, you must be more careful than ever, especially since you’re pregnant. You’re most vulnerable now. It’ll be dreadful if someone takes advantage of the situation to hurt you.”

“I will.”

With that, I asked some of the bodyguards to send Nina home. I, on the other hand, returned to the company under the protection of the remaining bodyguards. Nina called me as soon as she got home. 

When she spoke, there was uncontained joy in her voice. 

“Caroline, this is the first time professional bodyguards escorted me home. Being rich is so amazing!” I smiled helplessly. 

“If you like it, I can ask some of them to protect you wherever you go.” 

“No, thanks! One experience package is enough for me. I don’t like being followed anyway. Besides, Charles assigned them to protect you at all costs. You can have them all to yourself.”

In the company, I spent the whole afternoon in a meeting with Diego. We discussed the business operation of the company. Before I knew it, it was already time for dinner. 

As soon as the meeting adjourned, Diego stood up, smoothed his wrinkled suit, and said with a smile, “Caroline, can I invite you to dinner?” 

“Sure.”

 Just as I walked out of the meeting room, I saw Tracy waiting outside for me. She walked up to me and whispered in my ear, “Mrs. Moore, Mr. Moore is here to pick you up.” 

“I’ll be right there,” I replied.
