She arrived at the office empty-handed. Jared looked up, frowning.
"Where are the roses I asked for? What am I supposed to give Karin later?"
At that moment, Karin entered, looking regretful.
"It’s fine, Jared. I’m just a secretary. I can’t accept your flowers. I’m afraid Carrie might be upset and ruin your relationship."
Without saying a word, Carrie poured her coffee onto Karin’s head.
"Karin, I’m Jared’s fiancée to the public now. You’re just his secretary. Leave him alone, or I won’t let you go."
Jared immediately stood up, pulling Karin into his arms as she screamed.
"Did she get burned? Don't worry, I’ll explain everything to you."
He turned to glare at Carrie.
"Carrie, do you think you can bully Karin like this? Apologize to her right now!"
Karin cried, shaking her head.
"Don’t worry, Jared. I shouldn't have stayed by your side. I’ll resign now and never see you again."
Jared, clearly distressed, continued comforting her.
"Carrie, if it weren’t for your face, do you think I’d even care about you?"
Carrie remained calm. "No matter what, she’s the mistress, Jared. We’re about to get engaged—shouldn’t you take responsibility for me?"
