My Six Brothers Killed Me (Caroline)

Blake leaned back in his chair, resting comfortably. "Before I agree to anything, I need to know exactly what you want Mr. Sherwood to do. He's got a packed schedule. If the task isn't something he can handle, there's no use bothering him."

"He can handle it. For someone like him, it's an easy favor," Edwin replied quickly, hoping to win Blake over. Then, he explained the problems his company was going through.

Blake went quiet, thinking it over. To him, it wasn't a big deal.

If Edwin could treat Caroline well, Blake would've stepped in without hesitation.

But the way she'd been treated at the Somertons' villa still made him furious.

After a long silence, Blake finally said, "Talk to Caroline. If she agrees, I'll make sure Mr. Sherwood helps you."

Edwin froze.

Blake just said help was possible. Now it depended on Caroline? Why did she matter?

Thinking back to lunch, when Caroline refused to help and even acted like she didn't know the Sherwoods heir, Edwin felt a rush of frustration.

She probably wanted to see his business crash and burn.

He could imagine her smirking about it now.

Edwin pushed his anger down and forced a tight smile. "Caroline's always tied up. She often doesn't even answer my calls. But I'm out of options right now. I can't afford to wait. Please, Dr. Sherwood."

He looked at Blake, hoping for a sign of sympathy, but Blake didn't budge. "I'll say the same-talk to Caroline. If she says yes, Mr. Sherwood will step in."

He turned his eyes to the window. Clouds hung low, and the sky looked like it

Blake stood up and added, "That's settled then. Come back once Caroline agrees."

Without saying another word, he walked off to pay the bill and left.

t pour any second.

After Blake had gone, Liam broke the silence. "Why's he dragging Caroline into this? It doesn't concern her at all."

Edwin looked troubled. "He's probably still holding a grudge about me hitting her."

Liam frowned. "It was their fault to begin with! We let it go, and now he's acting like we wronged them? He's seriously being petty."

Edwin sighed. "It's not the time to argue. We need to go find Caroline,"

Liam didn't look convinced. "Are you sure we have to go back to her?"

She'd already turned them down onee today. What made him think she'd say yes now?

More likely, she'd just laugh at them.

Chapter 191 Talk to Her

Finished

"What else can we do? Do you have a better plan?" Edwin didn't want to go to Caroline either, but he had no other option.

He had to set his pride aside for the sake of the company.

Liam shook his head, his voice low and defeated. "No."

"Then let's go." Edwin finished his coffee, stood up, and said, "It's getting late. We need to find her."

The company was running out of time. He couldn't afford to delay any longer.

If Caroline didn't agree to help today, he doubted he'd get any rest tonight.

Once again, they returned to the entrance of Galaxy Bay Residences.

Since Edwin didn't know which building Caroline stayed in, he could only call her. What he didn't realize, though, was that Caroline wasn't there at all. She was on her scooter to a restaurant.noveldrama

Blake had texted her to grab dinner. With no other plans, she accepted.

Her phone was zipped inside her bag. With her helmet on, she didn't hear the ringtone.

When she reached the restaurant, she spotted Blake standing outside.

Caroline parked and locked her scooter before running over to him. "What's with the sudden dinner plan?*

She almost asked if they were celebrating something, but his serious look stopped her.

"It's just a meal. No reason behind it," Blake said and walked inside. Caroline went in with him.

They picked a few simple dishes and talked while eating.

Blake asked, "How's the delivery work going these days?"

Earlier, Edwin and Liam had shown up at his company. He didn't know if it wa worried they might see Caroline, figure out her real job, and stir up trouble.

Caroline smiled. "Everything has been fine. Thanks for asking."

eir first time there, but he

If Blake hadn't helped her find this job, she'd probably still be working as a personal chef.
