Samantha's POV:
"I must agree that your plan was quite thorough. However, it's a pity that it barely caused any damage to Caroline." I let out a deep sigh.
"If Charles hadn't intervened, Adam would've gotten it!" Kama's eyes flashed with resentment and disbelief.
I chuckled at her response and took out a new phone from my bag.
"You already have my contact information on the business card I gave you earlier, right? You can use this phone for the time being."
After leaving the hotel, I received a message from Caroline.
"Samantha, I'd like to invite you to my birthday party."
'This is my chance!'
I put away my phone and drove to the Moore mansion.
Alice was the one who opened the door for me.
I bowed to her politely and introduced myself. "Good evening, Mrs. Moore! I'm Samantha Hoffman, Charles' therapist."
Alice's eyes lit up. She then led me into the house with a huge smile.
When I entered the master bedroom, I saw Charles picking out a suit.
He was standing in front of the mirror, holding two sets of suits and comparing them carefully.
"Samantha? What are you doing here?" he asked, visibly confused.
"I just received an invitation from Caroline. She said that she wants me to attend her party. However, I'm new to LA, and you're the only person I'm familiar with. Do you mind if I go with you tomorrow night?" I asked.
"I didn't get an invitation,"
Charles replied, lowering his gaze and looking disappointed.
His response left me stunned, and I couldn't help but chuckle to myself.
'Even God is practically helping me! I must seize this chance and make good use of it,' I thought.
"How about you come to the birthday party with me as my date? I don't think Caroline will get mad at me for that," I suggested.
"Really? Thank you!" Charles nodded in agreement as he gave me a smile.
"You're welcome!"
'This is exactly what I wanted,' I thought to myself.
Charles picked up the suits again and frowned. "Which of these two suits do you think is better for me?"
"The black one," I replied.
After taking one more look at each suit, he decided to wear the black one.
The black suit accentuated his perfect figure.
Just staring at his handsome face made my heart race uncontrollably.
I stared at him, wishing that I could just look at him forever.
Charles was looking at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.
"You're right. This is the one!" he remarked.
My heart skipped a beat.
Though I looked calm on the surface, I was actually swooning already.
'He actually went with my suggestion!'
"The suit is perfect for you. Caroline will certainly be drawn by your charms," I commented.
"I sure hope so." Charles put on a smile.
His smile dazzled me. It took me a while before I managed to gather my composure.
At this time, James opened the door and came in. He held onto Charles' leg and said, "Daddy, I also want to come to Mommy's birthday party! I have a gift for her!"
"James, I'm bringing Mommy home this time. You just wait here at home for us." Charles ruffled the boy's hair and comforted him in a soothing voice.
"For real?" James' eyes lit up.
"Of course, son," Charles responded with confidence.
"James, your mom and dad are going to make up. Soon, they'll be back together!" I chimed in.
Charles gave me a look to say that he was grateful.
The following night, I carefully picked a dress which I thought would match his suit before going to the party in the same car as Charles.
I was actually quite nervous to be in such a small space with him. I swallowed, glancing at him from the corner of my eye.
Even though he wasn't saying anything, it was hard to ignore his presence.
We were sitting in the backseat, side by side and only a small gap was between us.
If I moved even a little, I would be skin to skin with him.
My heart was beating like a drum. It almost felt like my heart would leap from my chest the next second.
