Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 540: A Baby Shower 

Caroline’s POV

I took a break from work for a few days and rested at home, But today, I returned to the company and resumed work

As soon as I sat down in my office, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

A clerk of the personnel department came in and handed me a document, which was a girl’s resume. 

“Miss Wilson, there is a girl who wants to apply for the position of your assistant.” 

“I don’t need an assistant for the time being. Just refuse her.” I took the pen and knocked it on the table carelessly 

“But she said she was your cousin.” 

“My cousin?” Surprised, I stopped fiddling with the pen and paid attention to the clerk. 

“Send her in,” I declared, my curiosity piqued. A young lady walked in She looked to be about the same age with me. 

“Miss Wilson, my name is Helen Dewar. I’m the daughter of Uncle Edward’s elder sister.”

Frowning, I inspected every inch of her face carefully and found that there was a little similarity in our facial features,

As a matter of fact, Dad once told me he had an elder sister, but he had lost touch with her years ago. It certainly never occurred to me that her daughter would seek me out.

“Helen, why the sudden visit?” I asked in confusion 1 Helen sighed, with a tinge of sadness on her face. 

“I’m the only child of my father, but he had issues with alcohol Last year, while he was drunk, he died in a car accident. So now, I’m all alone. I used to work in a different city, but when I heard that I have a cousin here, I decided to apply for a job here so we can get to know each other better ”

“Alone? What about the rest of your family?” 

“More than ten years ago, my mother married another man after divorcing my father because he was an alcoholic have no idea where she is now.” Helen shrugged, looking like her mother’s unknown whereabouts was old news My heart softened a little as I stared at her. She must have had a tough life. But the issue was that I didn’t want Helen to be my assistant since I really didn’t need one. However, if she was really my cousin, Dad would have wanted me to take her in 

“You are my only family now, Miss Wilson,” she muttered softly, her eyes wide and beseeching. I thought for a moment and reached out my hand to her with a smile. 

I hope you enjoy working here with us. Oh, and when we are alone, you can call me
