Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1143

"Charlie, get your hand away from me and let me go!" Elsa said through gritted teeth. While she truly wanted to yell out so as to show her anger to the man pulling her back, she did not want to be the focus in this kind of place. Because of that, she really had no option but to not create a scene. But then, no one was really paying attention to anything else except for Addison, who was now taking the stage.

Despite her protests, Charlie did not let her go. Instead, he held her even tighter. While working harder to keep Elsa under his control, he turned to Ann and said urgently, "Please tell Elsa's father for me that I'd take Elsa to my place. Tell him I'd bring her back early!" After saying that, he ignored not only Ann's reaction and response, but also Elsa's, who was clearly taken aback by what he just said. With another forceful yet gentle pull, they started their way, with Charlie in the lead, towards the exit.

"That's... That's cool, I guess!" Gazing at Charlie's broad and attractive back, Ann nodded slightly, her face full of admiration for Charlie's brave action.

But for Elsa, it was totally different. She struggled and twisted her body, yelling out, "Let me go, don't pull me! Charlie, are you listening to me! Let me go right now! Where the hell are you going? I don't want to go with you!" The long way to the elevator was filled with Elsa's yelling and struggling. As she was pushed into the elevator, she asked him again, "Where are we going, Charles Long?"

Without any response, Charlie just squinted her. Her face seemed to turn into a bubble fish - she was clearly filled with anger. When they were both inside, Charlie pushed the button and flashed Elsa a big, fake smile.

At that moment, Elsa finally realized that she could never be relaxed at a place where Charlie was. But what was worse for her, at that moment, she wouldn't be able to escape. Most importantly, though, she might have to face unexpected things to happen, which could be extremely "dangerous" for her.

While she was losing herself in her endless thoughts and unconstrained fears, she was once again pulled out of the elevator by Charlie after they had arrived to their floor. She, however, didn't take notice of it. Only when she felt a whiff of cool breeze was she pulled out of her own thoughts and back to the reality. Then, she saw what was in front of her. A gasp escaped her mouth and it hung wide open. She was astonished. The scenery was grand, something that she had never seen before.

Ignoring her astonishment, Charlie started to speak, "Gu's Corporations built up its fortunes from this land before you." His voice was as soft as the breeze in the summer. He continued, "After the hotel was completed, a legend emerged." After pausing for a while, he took a deep breath and turned to face Elsa. Almost at the same time, Elsa shifted her to him and their eyes met. The sudden breeze messed her hair up, and it made the serious atmosphere feel lighter. Amused by what happened, Charlie began to explain the legend to Elsa, a huge smile on his face. With his deep and sexy voice, he started, "The legend states that if a boy takes the girl he likes to this place and they enjoy the night scene of A City together, that girl is bound to..." At that very important moment, he stopped on purpose and got on one of his knees in front of Elsa. This surprised her, but she didn't protest as she was eagerly waiting for what Charlie was going to say. Charlie continued slowly, with a low but mellow, flirtatious but sincere voice, "...that girl is bound to be his girlfriend."

Stunned by his joke-like confession, Elsa thought that he was intending to make fun of her that day once again. Because of that, she decided to play along with him.

"But..." Intentionally, she prolonged her silence so as to find a better way to respond to the boy in front of him. Although she might be a little slow to react whenever she faced Charlie, she was still a very smart girl. She continued, "If... I mean if that girl already has a boyfriend, what should the boy do in that situation?" A huge, cunning smile graced her lips, and her eyes sparkled with mischief.

"……" This answer was obviously out of Charlie's expected replies. The boy was stunned, and it was obvious that he didn't know what to reply.

Elsa, with a serious expression, said earnestly as if she were not telling a lie, "Charlie." She called his name with prodigious regret. "You should have told me a week earlier. It is too late now."
