Chapter 439: A Date With Simon

Charles‘ POV:

I drove to the Wilson Group.

Massaging my aching temples, I got off the car, and lit a cigarette, leaning against my car.

Soon, I saw Caroline among the crowd.

She was dressed in a pale ash gray coat which was simple yet well–tailored, and underneath it, she
was wearing a white dress that enhanced her gentleness and her elegance.

The man beside her was Simon.

Why did he appear with her everywhere? He was a total buzzkill! Tossing the cigarette aside, I walked
over to her.

"Caroline." She was cracking jokes with her colleagues, but the moment she saw me, she stopped.She
stood there coldly with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"It has only been one night since we last saw each other, Mr.Moore.Why do you look so haggard?
Looks like taking care of Raina all night must be really exhausting."

"I didn‘t do anything of that sort..."

"It is time for lunch now, Mr.Moore.If you want to discuss about work with me, then you can come
during office hours."

After interrupting me coldly, Caroline glanced at her watch and asked her colleagues to leave.I reached
out my hand to touch her, but my hand was pushed away instantly.

"You‘d better not touch her!" Simon hissed with a serious expression.



They looked like the perfect couple, and seeing them being so intimate, I could not help but get jealous.

Scenes from my nightmare kept flashing in my mind.

I pressed my forehead and smiled with self–mockery before I stared at Caroline and asked, "Is he the
man?"

With a bright smile, Caroline clung to Simon‘s arm and said, "Yes, it‘s him."

She then looked into Simon‘s eyes with an affectionate smile, completely ignoring me.

Suppressing the pain in my heart, I sneered and said in a deep voice, "I see."

She looked at me indifferently with a satirical smile on her lips, "Now that you know we‘re together,
don‘t show up in front of us again.Your presence alone bothers me."

After saying those words, she held his arm and walked away.

"Stop! Caroline, what is it that you want?" I called out to her.

She stopped in her tracks and turned around with coldness in her eyes that almost scared me.

"I want to take back everything that belongs to me."

Frowning, I was about to say something when she added, "I have decided to date Simon, so please
don‘t bother us again, Mr.Moore.And don‘t send me worthless stuff!"

Her cold words felt like a knife in my chest.It seemed that she did not care for the things that I had sent
her.

"Scarlett!" I called out angrily.



Simon‘s POV:

Completely ignoring Charles, Caroline dragged me away.I couldn‘t contain my joy when I saw her
holding my hand tightly.

Did it mean that she was no longer attached to the past, and that my chance had finally arrived?
Besides, did she mean what she just said? About us being together? I couldn‘t wait to ask her and
confirm if I was right.

"Caroline, do you really mean it? I mean...What you just said to Charles.is that how you really feel?"

I was trying my best to suppress the raging happiness in my heart.

However, Caroline stopped, lowered her head, and remained silent.I stroked her hair gently, pretending
to be relaxed.

"Don‘t worry, I am not in a rush to get your answer.Besides, we have plenty of time."

"You‘re right.I will think it over."

Caroline‘s smile was filled with a sense of relief.I looked away to hide the bitterness in my heart.

"By the way, why did you come here?"

Her sudden question reminded me of the reason I came to see her.

"I want to take you to a place."

Before she could refuse, I took her to a building that was nearby.

After getting off the car, I led her to a luxury boutique called Zing.



It was a big store located on the top most floor of the building, and one could easily see half of the city
from there.

"Welcome to Zing."

Standing by the door, the store assistants nodded respectfully.

Knowing that Caroline liked to be left in peace, I signaled to them and said, "Don‘t follow us.I will call
you if needed."

The store assistants obeyed and stepped away from us.

Caroline let go of my hand and began to wander around happily.I followed her with a proud smile on my
lips.

Obviously, women were intimately attached to fashion.

"The clothes here are so beautiful.But why is the store so empty? Did you book the entire store?"

Caroline turned to me with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Clearing my throat, I changed the topic.

"You can choose anything you like.The clothes here are all unique, and you will never see anyone else
wearing anything similar."

Caroline‘s eyes lit up with excitement.

And I felt like I was floating in the clouds when I saw her smile.

"Consider it as a gift for your inauguration of the east bank project."



"Thank you so much!"

With a smile, she turned around, and began to examine the clothes carefully.

In less than ten minutes, she finished shopping.

"You‘re done already?" I asked in surprise.

Caroline nodded in reply.

I snapped my fingers, signaling the store assistant to come.

"Take her to try on the clothes."

After I saw them leave, I sat down on the couch and began to read a magazine.

Minutes later, I suddenly heard the sound of high–heeled shoes clicking against the floor, and when I
looked up, I was speechless.

Caroline was wearing a teal dress with a tulle hemline, which enhanced her tall and slim figure.

Admiring her beauty, I noticed my heart race uncontrollably.I quickly straightened myself up and
walked to her.

"You look gorgeous," I praised sincerely.

"Thank you." Caroline smiled.

Her smile made her look even more stunning.I leaned and stretched out my hand.

"Miss, can I dance with you?"

Caroline nodded and placed her hand in mine.I gently held her slim waist.



Following the soft music in the shop, we danced slowly and tacitly.

But then, the music suddenly changed to a lively tune, and I couldn‘t help leaning forward and holding
her waist tightly.

When I saw that she was not refusing my touch, my heart was filled with joy, and I looked deep into her
eyes.
