Chapter 315
Lindsey sneered, “Are you saying she’s not your cousin?”
“Of course not! Noreen looked at Emily with contempt. “How could my cousin be a delivery girl?”
Emily stood there, having dealt with difficult customers at the dessert shop where she worked. But she felt unusually embarrassed being here in front of Charlie.
She lowered her head and said quietly, “I’m not Ms. Shenton’s cousin. You got the wrong person. Can I go now?”
Charlie flashed a smile and turned to Nora, asking, “Are you feeling better now? Should we let her off
the hook?”
Nora responded with a playful pout, “Fine, I’m in a good mood today. I won’t bother with her.”
Charlie affectionately remarked, “Our Nora is truly kind-hearted!”
Nora playfully flirted, tilting her head with a captivating smile, and replied, “Oh, I’m just a soft-hearted person!”
Charlie chuckled and pushed her hand away, turning to walk towards Emily.
Nora’s smile faded, puzzled as she watched him approach Emily.
He walked right up to Emily, tilted his head, and asked, “Have you been crying?”
Emily looked up, her eyes welled with tears, “No.”
Charlie affectionately patted Nora on the head. “Silly girl, couldn’t you see they were bullying you? If you encounter someone like this again, just splash your drink in their face. It’s just a job, right? If you lose it, so be it. I’m here, I won’t let you be unemployed.””
Emily didn’t feel wronged, but tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly lowered her gaze.
Everyone else was taken aback. Nora looked at Charlie and asked cautiously, “Charlie, do you know her?”
The smile on Charlie’s face faded. “She’s like my little sister.”
Nora was speechless, unable to find the right words to respond.
She started panicking, “I…I didn’t know, I really didn’t!”
She turned to glare at Lindsey. Wasn’t she supposed to be Noreen’s cousin? How did she become Charlie’s sister?
Charlie nodded indifferently, “It’s alright. No harm done!”
Nora finally relaxed.
But Charlie didn’t spare her another glance, only telling Emily, “Don’t work today, just go home.”
“Huh?” Emily looked at him, puzzled.
Charlie said, “I haven’t had dinner yet. I want to eat your cooking.”
his train of thought, and belatedly replied, “There aren’t any ingredients in the
15.06
fridge.”
She had been too busy lately and hadn’t had time to cook for days. She occasionally grabbed something to eat casually when she was hungry.
“Then let’s go shopping now!” Charlie said, pulling Emily by the hand towards the door.
Emily followed, feeling like everyone in the room was staring at her.
Nora suddenly panicked, quickly following them in her high heels, and caught his arm at the door, “Charlie!”
Charlie turned his gaze towards Nora, confusion evident in his expression as he asked, “What?”
Nora felt a wave of discomfort wash over her due to Charlie’s cold gaze. However, she mustered a smile and reminded him, “You promised we would have dinner together tonight. You even mentioned having a gift for me that you would give me later.”
Suddenly remembering, Charlie swiftly held Emily’s hand and dialed a number on his phone. “Wait a moment,” he instructed. “Bring the items from the car up here!”
The driver on the other end of the phone acknowledged.
Soon, the driver came up with a gift bag and handed it to Charlie.
Charlie gave the gift bag to Nora, smiling, “This is for you, our break-up gift!”
