The Good Girl's Revenge

He nodded at Caroline indifferently and was about to go upstairs. Violet immediately stopped him. If her son went upstairs and sat down in the study, no one would see him again tonight.

She wanted to give them more time alone.

"Derek, Caroline is a girl, and it's her first day here. You two are the same age. Talk to her. That's what your grandfather asked you to do."

Afraid that her son would not agree, Violet said this was Mr. Xavier's requirement.

However, Derek was not so easily swayed. It was useless for her to mention Mr. Xavier.

"I still have work to do. I have a video conference to attend to later and I can't miss it. As for Miss Baker, mom, please entertain her."

After saying that, he strode away.

Violet suddenly felt humiliated. In front of the guest, it was a disgrace that her son refused to obey her at such a trivial thing.

She was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. She smiled apologetically at Caroline, changed the subject with a random excuse, and accompanied Caroline to dinner.

Caroline sat in her room and thought of Derek, who she had just seen downstairs.

Unsurprisingly, he was even more charming in person than in the photos. She covered her heart, which was thumping, and a blush flashed across her face.

But then she could not help but frown. She had always been very confident about her appearance, but today, Derek's attitude dealt a heavy blow to her.

The man didn't even look at her. Caroline couldn't help but reach out and touch her face. Although she was disappointed, she wouldn't give up like this.

Everyone in the country knew the status of the Xavier Group. Derek was such an outstanding man, so of course she liked him. Moreover, she was so close to him, which was an advantage, and she must grasp the opportunity.

The next day.

"Derek, Caroline has been abroad for years and is not familiar with the situation at home. You'll show her around the D City later." Violet said.

Derek glanced at his mother. Something came to his mind, and instead of refusing this time, he agreed.

This surprised and delighted Violet, who was prepared to be rejected.

Caroline was also very happy in her heart. She believed that with her own excellence, as long as she had enough time, she could make Derek like her.

After breakfast, Derek got into the car, and Caroline followed him. She wanted to open the door of the passenger seat, but...

She tried two or three times, but she couldn't open it.

At this moment, the car window was rolled down a little, and Derek glanced at her, "Sit in the back.” Caroline let go of her hand awkwardly and sat in the back seat.

"Well, brother Derek..."

Derek involuntarily frowned at the way she addressed him, "Wait, you'd better call me by my full name. It sounds strange to me.”

Caroline, "..."

At this moment, she felt that she was defeated before she could succeed. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but she didn't dare to show it, "I'd better call you Mr. Xavier."

Derek nodded indifferently.

He drove into the parking lot and took the president's exclusive elevator to the top floor, so no one saw Caroline.

"I'm going to have an early meeting. You can wait in the lounge.”

Of course, Caroline would not have any objections.

But half an hour later, instead of Derek, another man who was also very tall and handsome came to her.

"Hello, my name is Damian. I'm Mr. Xavier's special assistant.”

"Hello, my name is Caroline.”

Hearing Damian's identity, Caroline suddenly became more sincere and friendly.

"Miss Baker, the president is very busy. He asked me to show you around the D City. When shall we set out?”

Caroline, "..."

She couldn't help but stand up, “Is Mr. Xavier very busy? It's okay. I can continue to wait."

"Miss Baker, Mr. Xavier is very busy every day, and his schedule is very full. Even if you continue to wait, Mr. Xavier won't have time.” Damian smiled apologetically.

Caroline felt that Derek was going to brush her off, so he asked his assistant to take care of her. The thought made her upset.

Thus, she would rather believe the reason given by Damian, the special assistant. It seems normal for Mr. Xavier to be busy as president of the Xavier Group, a multinational company.

Even so, Caroline would not go shopping with an assistant. She still sat with a grudge in her heart, "It's okay. I can go shopping any day. I'll wait for lunch with Mr. Xavier."

Damian, "..Well, okay. Miss Baker, Mr. Xavier always orders takeout at noon and doesn't go to the restaurant.”

Caroline didn't take it seriously. Even if he usually didn't go to the restaurant, she thought Derek wouldn't refuse to have lunch with her because he had promised his mom that he would entertain her today.

Thus, Caroline waited in the lounge until noon.

Of course Damian reported the situation to Derek.

"She's still waiting?"

"Yes. I couldn't persuade her to leave.”

Damian nodded and smiled, "Boss, Miss Baker must take a fancy to you."

He glanced at Damian with a deep frown on his face, "Stop talking nonsense.”

"I'm not talking nonsense. Mrs. Xavier is obviously trying to make you and Miss Baker a match.” Damian shrugged. It was so obvious that anyone could tell that.

Derek was silent for a few seconds. He looked at his watch and closed the document, "Let's go meet Miss Baker."

There was no need for him to go to the lounge. As soon as it was noon, Caroline, who had been waiting for a long time, could not help but leave the lounge and look at the office.

Seeing Derek, she immediately greeted him with a smile. Before she could say anything, the smile on her face froze because of the other party's words.

"Why are you still here? What's up?"

Caroline was stunned, "Didn't you tell me to wait here? And then..."

Before she could finish her words, Derek could not help but frown, "Didn't you want to go shopping? I heard from Damian that he wanted to take you shopping, but you rejected him.”

He looked at his watch and said, "In that case, forget it. I'm busy and don't have time. If there is nothing else, you can go back."

After Derek said that, he took Damian away without giving her another look.

Caroline stood there and looked at his back in disbelief. She felt like she had been fooled and flushed with anger.

She had been admired by countless men since her childhood, and she had never been so embarrassed. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and strode away with a cold face.

When Caroline returned to the Xaviers, Violet immediately came out to welcome her.

"Caroline, why are you back so soon? Where's Derek?"

Caroline immediately lowered her eyelids. When she raised her eyes again, the sinister look in her eyes had disappeared and tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lip with a look of grievance.
