After he finished speaking, Anthony bent down and scooped her up in his arms. Charlotte didn’t resist. She slipped her arms around his neck, buried her face against his chest, and closed her eyes. She was as sweet and clingy as a kitten, completely trusting him.
Anthony held Charlotte securely while the bodyguards walked ahead, umbrellas raised, clearing the way toward the exit.
At the entrance, reporters had been waiting for what felt like hours, cameras poised, hungry for a glimpse of any VIP. The moment they heard footsteps, every one of them snapped to attention.
“They’re coming!” someone shouted. Suddenly, flashes exploded everywhere and every camera locked onto the doorway.
The reporters had already been impressed. Charlotte, top scorer in the national exams, with ties to the Gates family, was more than enough to keep them on their toes. But no one could have guessed the next bombshell—Charlotte was actually the heiress to the Hawk family. Not just any heiress, either. She was the youngest and first female heir in Hawk family history.
“Where is she? Do you see her?”
“I don’t think that’s Charlotte,” someone in the crowd muttered.
“No, it’s not… wait, isn’t that—” The frontmost reporter squinted, jaw dropping as he recognized the man stepping out. “Anthony?”
Anthony Blair, CEO of the Blair Group.
“Wait, he’s carrying a girl,” another reporter said, voice shaky with excitement. “Could that be his secret fiancée?”
Everyone gasped, the thrill of the scoop rippling through the crowd. Two huge stories had just landed in their laps. Either one could shake up the entire media scene. If they got a good photo, their careers would be set for years.
Cameras kept firing, reporters shifting and stretching, desperate for a clear shot of the mysterious girl’s face. But Anthony was careful, shielding her, not giving them a chance.
“He’s really protective,” someone whispered.
