Caroline arrived at TYC’s building entrance, dressed extravagantly. She briefly glanced at the journalists and internet users
before heading inside. She had informed the security guards in advance, so they
allowed her to enter without any issues.
As Caroline was entering the building, some journalists called out, questioning why she was allowed in while they weren’t.
Startled by the shout, Caroline briefly thought she had been recognized.
A security guard used a loudspeaker to address the crowd, explaining. “She works for the company!”
Caroline paused briefly before continuing to the elevator area.
When the elevator doors opened, ringing phones and distressed employees greeted her. She felt relieved
and made a mental note of these dedicated employees who had stood by the company during this
challenging time.
Once inside the office, the employees looked at the extravagantly dressed Caroline in astonishment.
They couldn’t recognize her due to her thick makeup and only realized her identity after she had entered.
Shortly after Caroline entered the office, Josie rushed in. She was stunned by Caroline’s appearance, then
smirked and remarked, “You look quite unusual, Ms. Shenton.”
Caroline began removing her makeup and asked, “Aren’t you scared, Josie?”
Josie shook her head. “We’re not scared if you’re not scared, Ms. Shenton! We’re committed to sticking
with you through this.”
Caroline chuckled. “Is the VP here?”

“Yes, but do we take calls? Josie asked.
Caroline replied, “No, get Mr. Hayes.”
Josie nodded and left. Caroline watched her go, impressed by Josie’s calm demeanor despite her young age. Caroline smiled
and continued removing her makeup.
Kenny rushed into the office not long after. He was shocked to see Caroline’s colorful makeup and
exclaimed, “What on earth are you doing?”
Caroline rolled her eyes. “How else could I sneak in?”
Kenny gave her a thumbs up. “Good point. So, what’s the plan?”

Checking the time, Caroline said, “Order the most expensive meals for the employees and have them gather in the main
boardroom to relax.”
Kenny looked puzzled, “You still want to party now?”
Caroline paused and then smiled. “Yes. The more festive, the better.”
Kenny expressed his exasperation, “Do you realize the company’s working capital is running low? The
number of canceled orders is alarming!”
Caroline responded mischievously. “Can’t I foot the bill myself? You can too.”
Kenny sighed. “I don’t understand how you can remain so indifferent at a time like this.”
Caroline explained, “At this stage, panicking won’t help.”
“You have a point there. Alright, I’ll order some expensive food items that will cost you an arm and a leg!”
Meanwhile, Alex arrived at Merlin’s entrance and picked up the children sent out by the class teacher.
Liora started crying when she got into the car, saying, “I want to go home, Uncle Alex.”

Alex replied, “Going home now would trouble your mom, Liora.”
He glanced at Tyler through the rearview mirror, trying to lighten the mood.
Before he could say anything. Tyler spoke up. “You don’t have to comfort me, Uncle Alex. It’s Liora who
needs it. She looks hideous when she cries.”
Liora stopped crying and glared at her brother. “Ty! Stop calling me hideous! You’ve said that almost a
hundred times today!”
