Chapter266
“Thank you, Mr. Calsis. I won’t let you down.” Marlene responded ecstatically. “So I’ll take the leave now? Please enjoy the performance…”
She was about to rise when Charlie snapped, “Did I let you go?”
Marlene paused and sat down again, gawking at Charlie. She then tried to find the answer from Theresa, yet Theresa only
engaged herself in the performance as though Marlene and Charlie were not present at all.
“Make the tea for me.” Charlie gave the order to Marlene.
Marlene hastened to rise and made the tea gingerly before she presented it to Charlie.
Charlie took a sip while Marlene started peeling the fruit for him. Marlene was rattled and puzzled, as she knew Charlie never had the affair with any female artist, nor would it be her job to service him like a maid. Then what was he up to by getting her to do all these chores now? If Theresa hadn’t been there, Marlene might have the reason to doubt Charlie wanted to harass
her as the unseen rule went. Yet it was utterly impossible now with Theresa sitting aside. In the end Marlene was smart enough to realize she was being used as the tool for the couple to vent their anger after a dustup.
As the audience downstairs were cheering at the performance of Jefferson, who was especially hot this year, the air in the private box only crackled with tension. Theresa watched Charlie as he was getting Marlene to serve him. She thought she had finally witnessed the notorious relationship between the entertainment mogul and female stars as the gossip went. She just felt it extremely disgusting.
Marlene presented Charlie the orange she’d just peeled, “Mr. Calsis, please…”
Theresa eventually failed to repress her loathing and rose to her feet.
Seeing her finally making response, Charlie raised his eyebrows, “Where are you going?”
