Charmine then told Chris, “Mommy rides a motorbike, so I can’t bring a child along with me. If you leave now, all these lobster rolls would be thrown away.”
There was a rule in the Bailey mansion; no leftovers were allowed. That meant that if the lobster rolls were not eaten, they would be thrown away. 1
Chris picked up one roll hastily and blurted, “No, Momo loves Mommy! Momo’s heart will go out with Mommy while my body stays here to take out all these lobster rolls!”
“Aww, look at you! Stay home and be good.” Charmine ruffled his hair and stood up to leave.
Chris hastily gave Anthony a kick below the table. Anthony wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and stood up to walk her out.
“Let me drive you there,” offered Anthony.
“No need. There are too many people at Rising Hawk, and we’d easily get exposed,” dismissed Charmine she put on her gloves.
With a frown, Anthony solemnly replied, “I don’t mind if we’re exposed.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Charmine was taken aback by his statement. What? He did not mind? He was Boss Bailey! Why was it that he would act like an impatient teenager all the time? They had not officiated their relationship either, so how would Charmine explain it to everyone?
She asserted, “Let’s talk about this when you’ve finally won me over.” She put on the helmet and raced away.
Anthony looked at her silhouette with a thoughtful gaze. Win her over? How could he win over that little wild wolf? Even an actual wild wolf would be easier to win over than her…
At that moment, Nial suddenly came and pulled over right before Anthony. “Bro, we’ve made some progress. They’ve managed to get hold of skin cells from thirty women at the presidential suite’s bedside They’ll begin the investigation once they get hold of their DNA.” –
OIII
Anthony, hearing that, remained passive without a trace of joy on his face. He might feel something had this happened back then, but he had Charmine. So what if he could find that woman?
What could Anthony do if that woman wanted him to take responsibility? If Charmine found out about his past, how would she react? He could live with Charmine’s past, but could she? 1
He frowned and flatly commented, “Keep investigating, and tell me when the result is out.”
“Oh.” Nial felt something was off. Why was his brother seemingly unhappy?
At RisingHawk…
Charmine parked her motorbike in the basement and walked straight to the lift to reach the meeting room on the top floor.
At the sight of her, Rio walked forward. “Charmine, the situation is getting out of hand. Horizon Night’s organizer wouldn’t even give us even a time of the day! I’ve tried everything I could, and I even offered her a luxury cruise trip, but she rejected me. Eric is still negotiating with her, but she seems rather determined. We have three artists signing with Horizon Night, and the sum of the liquidated damage would be almost ten billion!”
Ten billion! Even if she was the Diamond Boss, Charmine would still feel a pang if she had to pay that much. 1
“I’ll have a look,” remarked Charmine, and she walked toward the meeting room.
Inside the meeting room, Eric’s persuasion toward Horizon Night’s organizer-Gloria Duncan-continued,” Charmine will be able to resolve this issue, and she’ll give you a satisfactory answer in a day or two.”
“Don’t tell me a day or two days’ time; I have to terminate our contracts with you today. It’s clearly stated i in the contracts that the artists shouldn’t have any negative news, and the entire management team and
artists are at fault for this mess!
“So what if she can solve this mess? Can a person who was once a third-wheeler do any good? Horizon Night isn’t just an ordinary show nor any ordinary brand. This is a government-funded project advertised globally with an international audience!
“Having a third-wheeler as the Lead would be a global joke, bringing shame to our country! Anyhow, I’m terminating the contracts today, so pay me the liquidated damages!” Gloria Duncan was firm on that, and her tone showed that there was no room for negotiation.
