Charleston went back to the car.
He looked at Margaret and asked, "Do you want to go somewhere else?"
"Not anymore. Mr. Limbaugh, can you take me home?" Margaret said.
After all, she did not have any money at this moment. Thus, it was absolutely impossible for her to go back on her own.
Margaret suddenly felt that she was not really that strong.
She was angry with Charleston before this, but now, she had to beg Charleston to send her back because she wanted to go home.
"Sigh, Margaret, where's your determination?" She thought to herself.
If Charleston knew what Margaret was thinking at the time, he would definitely feel very gratified and thought, "That's right, I'm going to spoil you until you lose all your determination."
"I'll send you back to the Limbaugh Villa. You can rest there today," Charleston said and started the car engine.
Margaret widened her eyes and said, "I want to go back to my apartment."
"Okay, then you may walk back to your apartment," Charleston said in a casual manner.
Walk back?
Margaret gnashed her teeth with hatred. This man was despicable. Did he think that she did not know this area was an outskirt?
Moreover, there would be no car passing through the area at this time. Even if there was a car, she had no money at all; there was no way she could go back on her own.
It was obvious that the man was well aware of this, yet he said such a thing.
He was too mean.
After returning to the villa, Margaret thought that Charleston would wait for the opportunity to do something.
It was not her fault that she overthought. This man indeed had done something of the likes before. He had always taken advantage of her without any reason.
However, this time, Charleston did not pester her too much.
After he arranged for the room where she had stayed previously, Charleston went to look for Elvis. It seemed that he had something urgent to attend to. It was rare that he did not come to harass her.
Since Margaret wasn't allowed to go back to her own home, she did not argue further and went to sleep directly.
Margaret slept very comfortably during the first half of the night, but when it came to the second half of the night, her stomach started growling.
She could not bear it any longer. Margaret got up and walked to the villa's kitchen.
The kitchen was huge, and it was packed all kinds of food.
Margaret wanted to make herself a bowl of oatmeal. As she was approaching the kitchen, she vaguely caught sight of a figure. She walked in and realized that it was Charleston.
He was holding a cocktail shaker, and he was shaking it vigorously. His skills looked to be on par with an experienced bartender's.
The cocktail in the shaker was blue colored.
After he stopped shaking it, he poured the cocktail into a tall glass.
In an instant, the blue cocktail in the glass formed a beautiful shape.
It was like a jellyfish!
Margaret gasped in surprise.
"You're awake?" Charleston noticed her as he raised his head. There was a hint of exhaustion in his raspy voice.
Margaret immediately realized that he had not slept at all.
Did he stay up all night just to make a cocktail?
"Here you go, this is 'blue jellyfish' that you liked!" Charleston picked up the glass with his muscular hands. "This is better than the jellyfish in the river. It's not poisonous and it doesn't sting!"
Margaret's eyes suddenly widened. She did not know what to say.
He handed the 'blue jellyfish' to Margaret.
When he looked at Margaret's expression, he felt that she looked funny. He then said, "Don't worry, it won't kill you!"
