The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5603

She was afraid that the thunder just now was related to Charlie, so she kept chanting, “Answer the phone quickly… Answer the phone quickly…”

After a moment, the call was connected, and Charlie’s voice came through, “Veron, do you need something?”

Upon hearing Charlie’s voice, Vera immediately heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “Charlie, I’ve been feeling grateful for what happened last time, so I wanted to ask when you're available. I'd like to invite you for a meal.”

Charlie chuckled, “Let's talk about it after your orientation ends. During this time, just stay at school and don't go anywhere.”

As he spoke, Charlie remembered something and asked her, “By the way, you should still be in the middle of your orientation, right? How come it's convenient for you to call me?”

Vera deliberately lied, “There was a sudden clap of thunder just now, and it felt like it was going to rain. Therefore, the instructor asked us to take a break and check the weather.”

“Oh.” Charlie frowned slightly, speculating in his mind about Vera’s true purpose for this phone call.

In his opinion, Vera’s intentions for this call probably fell into three categories. The first was that she simply wanted to invite him for a meal. The second might be that the thunder just now made her realize something was wrong, so she had called to confirm his safety. The third possibility was that she intentionally mentioned the thunder to remind him to be cautious.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Vera wanted to confirm his safety first with this call. After confirming his safety, she deliberately brought up the thunder to remind him to be careful.

Having confirmed Charlie’s safety, Vera did not plan to say much more on the phone, fearing that if she spoke too much, Charlie would start suspecting her again. Therefore, she smiled and said, “Charlie, let's have a meal after my orientation ends. You wouldn't refuse, right?”

Charlie readily agreed, saying, “Sure. I’ll treat you to a meal when your orientation ends.”

Vera blurted out, “There’s nothing urgent. I'm just tired from the orientation, and I don't want to participate in it anymore. Take me back to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.”

After saying that, she also told Madam Marilyn, “By the way, Madam Marilyn, inform the school leaders and say that I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I won't participate in the rest of the orientation.”

Madam Marilyn was slightly stunned but quickly understood. Orientation was already tough, and it was normal for a young lady like Vera to be unable to adapt to it.

So, she immediately said, “Okay, Miss Lavor. I'll take you back to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor first and then communicate with your school leaders.”

“Okay.” Vera nodded without saying anything more. Instead, she looked out of the window, lost in her thoughts.
