Caroline put her phone away and stretched, gazing at the dazzling night view outside with a smile. A good show was about to
begin.
Two days later, the trend of returns and refunds had stabilized. Some customers didn’t request returns because they bought the
clothes due to G’s fame.
After compensating the customers, the exhausted staff rested on the table.
Josie entered Caroline’s office and handed her the financial report for the return sales. “Ms. Shenton, it’s stable now.”
Caroline rubbed her brows and asked, “How much of the company’s working capital remains?”
Josie replied, “Around 140,000 dollars.”
Caroline nodded calmly. “Just as I expected.”
Josie voiced her concern. “Ms. Shenton, are we really not going to respond? The journalists are still
downstairs.”
Caroline leaned back in her chair. “No, we won’t. We can’t afford to let our guard down at this critical time.
Confused, Josie added, “Okay, but there’s another issue, Ms. Shenton.”
“What is it?”
Josie reported, “MK has also received a record number of return requests in the past two days, and their
losses are at least double ours.”
This revelation rendered Caroline speechless, and she realized it had happened because of her.
Unknowingly, she owed Evan again.
With a bitter smile, Caroline said, “Alright. You may go now.”

Josie nodded and left the room! After the door closed, Caroline called Neil, who picked up quickly.
He urgently asked, “Carol?”
Caroline whispered, “Yes, it’s me.”
“Are you alright?” Nell asked. “I didn’t want to call you earlier, fearing I might interrupt you while dealing

Smiling, Caroline reassured, “I’m okay. Don’t worry. Has your company been affected too?”
“Somewhat, but not significantly. Evan seems to be the most affected, and Scott as well.”
Surprised, Caroline questioned, “What happened to Scott?”
“He’s been suspended,” Neil revealed.
Caroline furrowed her brow. “They didn’t need to suspend him just because he’s close to me, did they?”
No wonder Scott hadn’t texted or called her after the incident. He probably didn’t want to cause her any
worry.
Neil explained, “I heard that many journalists went to the hospital to interview him. As such, the hospital
suspended him to avoid disruptions to the patients.”
Caroline felt overwhelming guilt. “I’ll call him right away!”
“Alright.” After a pause, Neil asked, “Are you ready, Carol?”
Caroline remained silent briefly. “Yes, there are only five days left. I can make it.”
“Be careful,” Neil tenderly reminded her.
‘I will”
After ending the call, Caroline dialed Scott’s number, and he answered promptly.

“Carol,” Scott whispered.
Sensing something amiss in his tone, Caroline grew concerned. “Are you okay, Scott? Did they harass you?
Chuckling, Scott replied, “Are you worried about me?”
Caroline scolded him, “How could you tease me? Why didn’t you tell me you were suspended?”
“I thought I could use a break,” Scott admitted. “I didn’t tell you to spare you from worrying.”
Caroline asked further, “Did the hospital mention when you can return to work? Will it affect your
promotion to director?”
“Um...” After a brief pause, Scott said, “I don’t think so because I haven’t done anything unethical.”
Caroline found his tone amusing. “ITI cover your salary during your suspension.”
“Forget it,” Scott declined. “You know I’m well–off.”
“It’s not about that,” Caroline insisted firmly. “Don’t refuse my offer.”

Scott playfully teased, “You’re becoming more formal with me now. Will you also compensate Evan?”
