Chapter 670
Charlie looked back and saw her coming, squinting his eyes slightly and waiting for her to approach.
Emily’s heart was pounding, and her hands were shaking nervously. “Mr. James, here’s a toast to you!” Charlie noticed her face was off and said softly. “Are you feeling unwell?”

He stood up, maintaining his poise and elegance despite the intense feelings coursing through him. “I have some business to attend to. You all continue to eat After the meal, Mr. Shenill will take you all to Midnight Bar for some more fun. The company will cover all expenses.”
