When Caroline heard his offer, she quickly objected. “No way! We can’t mix business with personal matters. I still need to pay the rent.”

Blake had already done so much for her by helping her secure this job, and she was extremely grateful.

There was no way she could just live in his place without paying him for it.

She hated the idea of owing anyone more than she already did. After all, the more debts you build up, the harder it becomes to pay them all off.

Blake smiled knowingly, his eyes twinkling with a calm warmth. “Okay, if you insist. But just so you know, I’m not in a rush for the money. You can pay me when you start making money from this job. Just give it to me at the end of the month.”

Caroline felt a wave of warmth spread through her chest. It was rare to find someone so understanding. “Thank you, Dr. Sherwood,” she said softly, her voice filled with gratitude.

If only my brothers were as thoughtful as Blake. Maybe things would have turned out differently.

Blake waved off her thanks with a casual smile, glancing at his watch. “No need to thank me,” he said. “I’ve -got a few things to take care of, so I’ll head out now. Later today, I’ll have my friend send over the details

about his colleagues‘ preferences.”

After he left, Caroline wandered around the apartment for a while.

It was a spacious three–bedroom, two–bathroom unit, and the living room was even larger than Blake’s place across the street. It was easily more than 600 square feet, maybe closer to 650.

The kitchen stood out the most–there was plenty of room to work with, ideal preparing meals for a large group.

As she looked around the place, a sense of relief washed over her that she hadn’t expected.

She had planned to wait until she was financially more stable before moving out on her own.

But fate had given her this opportunity, and she found herself with her own space much sooner than she thought.

Now, whenever she needed to escape from the Somerton household or avoid the cold glares of her brothers, she could simply retreat to this apartment.

As the sun began to set, Caroline decided to go out and pick up some supplies for the kitchen.

She spotted a large shopping mall not far from the complex; and based on her experience, she knew malls like this one often had good supermarkets inside.

It seemed like the perfect place to find what she needed

She locked up the apartment and made her way to the mall.

However, just as she was about to enter, she unexpectedly ran into two people she didn’t want to see-

Helen and Louise.
