Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV: 

Adam’s face turned grim. 

“Edward, you’re seriously going to kick me out of the Wilson Group?” he asked through gritted teeth.

My father broke into a sardonic laughter.

 “I’m going to take all of your shares little by little until you have nothing left.”

“How dare you?” Adam grunted, clenching his fists. 

“Just wait and see it all unfold.” After saying that, my father didn’t want to talk to that maniac anymore. 

He turned his attention back to me and said, “Caroline, dear, let’s not waste another second here. We should go to your party at once. It’s not good for the protagonist to be late.” 

“Sure, Dad,” I replied. 

Soon, Adam’s hateful voice faded away. 

“Caroline, don’t take Adam’s words to heart. Today is your birthday. Just be happy for once,” Simon said abruptly. 

“That’s right, Miss Wilson! Don’t overthink like you always do. Adam probably just wanted to ruin your birthday for you. Don’t fall for his trap,” Elena echoed. Upon seeing the worry in their eyes, I forced a smile and nodded. I thought of how I was pelted with eggs at the gate of the company a few days ago, and to this day, fear still lingered in my heart. But I tried to comfort myself with the fact that my father was by my side. 

With him, I felt like everything would be fine. Half an hour later, the car stopped at the dock. When I got off the car, I felt the gentle sea breeze seep into my skin. Then, I saw a magnificent cruise ship ahead of us.

It was illuminated by colorful neon lights. Seeing it left me stupefied. 

“Isn’t it too grand?” I asked, letting out a sigh. 

“What do you think? Do you like it?” asked my father. I nodded in agreement. 

“Well, I’m glad you like it. Nothing’s too good for my beloved daughter!” he remarked. 

“Caroline, would you do me the honor of letting me be your escort tonight?” Simon bowed slightly, reaching his hand out to me. I put my hand in his, lifted the hemline of my dress, and followed him aboard the cruise ship.
