She rubbed her eyes and checked the time. It was already half past four in the afternoon.
She got up and walked out of the room. When she saw Charlie Peck picking up the invitation card from the table and checked it curiously.
"Your friend came here at noon. This is for you."
Victoria said this lazily and turned back to go back to her room.
Charlie Peck looked at her, put down the credit card, and asked, "You didn't go out today?"
Victoria said grumpily, "Didn't you tell me not to go around?"
In fact, she just felt a little sleepy and had no interest in the scenery here, so she was too lazy to go out.
However, Charlie Peck suddenly smiled frivolously.
He seemed to be very satisfied with her obedience.
After taking off his coat and throwing it aside, he sat down on the sofa and waved to her. "Come here."
Victoria squinted at him.
After a while, she slowly walked over.
She stopped in front of him. Charlie Peck suddenly took her hand. The next second, a cold object was put on her wrist.
Victoria felt a chill run down her spine and instantly lost her sleepiness.
He raised his hand and saw an exquisite bracelet inlaid with three star-shaped lake-blue gems. Although it was not luxurious, it was fresh and beautiful. Judging from the workmanship alone, it must be valuable.
She was a little stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Charlie Peck said calmly, "They gave it to you. It's called the Star of the Milky Way. If you think it's suitable, you can take it back."
"Oh."
Victoria paused and said, "Is there anything else? I'll go back to my room if there's nothing else."
Charlie Peck waved his hand.
Victoria turned around and walked to the bedroom.
He entered the room and closed the door.
In the space that only belonged to her, the originally calm face suddenly moved slightly. The corner of her mouth was uncontrollably raised. She raised her hand and carefully looked at the bracelet on her white wrist.
The blue gemstones were embedded on the platinum bracelet. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a faint light flowing through the gems. They are so beautiful!
Something inexplicably soft in his heart slowly grew.
At this time, the voice of Charlie Peck came in through a door.
"Stop sleeping. Dress up and go out for dinner with me."
Victoria put down her hands and suddenly remembered something. Just as she was about to speak, he added, "Only the two of us."
Just as she was about to say something, she immediately swallowed it back.
After a while, she said, "Okay."
They went downstairs together and went to an open-air restaurant in the villa for dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Victoria suddenly felt a burning gaze behind her. She could not help but turn her head.
Marilyn was sitting not far away from them, surrounded by a group of young men and women. Judging from their clothes alone, it could be seen that they were a group of people who specialized in art. She could vaguely hear what she said, which were also some artistic topics.
Victoria smiled politely at her.
However, Marilyn did not react, which was rarely seen. She stared at the bracelet on her wrist.
She looked back at Charlie Peck in confusion.
Meanwhile, Charlie was still eating the steak gracefully, as if he didn't notice Marilyn not far away.
After a while, Marilyn came over.
"Charlie, what a coincidence! You're also here for dinner?"
It seemed that Charlie Peck had just noticed her. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, saying, "Yes. Are you having a party with friends?"
Marilyn nodded and smiled softly. Her thin body looked even more pitiful with that smile.
