Carmen's words instantly woke Tom up.
Carmen was right. Even if he was still hoping that he would still have the opportunity for any mediation, he should seize the best condition that he had right now first. Otherwise, two years would end up becoming three years, and if he had no choice but to accept it, that would be equivalent to him losing another year in vain!
As he thought about this, Tom hurriedly said to Charlie, "I choose the first option!"
Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "Unfortunately, one minute has already passed. The first option now i s for you to go to sea and become a seaman for three years. You're not allowed to get off the ship during these three years."
Tom’s legs suddenly went weak as he cried and said," Charlie, I beg you not to toy around with me anymore.
I chose the first option. Isn't it okay if it's two years?"
Charlie said helplessly, ‘‘Sorry, but the rules of the game cannot be broken. The first option is now three years. I'll give you another minute to consider carefully and tell me whether you'll be willing to accept it or not. I'll tell you everything upfront now. After a minute has passed and you have not made a
choice yet, the first option will become four years!"
Tom instantly fell apart.
At this moment, he was filled with extreme regrets.
If he would have known that this would be the current situation, he would not have come to Aurous Hill at all even if it would cost him his life.
To take a step back, if he would have known that two years would truly end up becoming three years, he would have already made a choice in the first place.
He had originally felt that he had a great opportunity t o win over Quinn's heart through this concert.
However, if Charlie were to refuse to let him attend the concert, wouldn't all his preparations be in vain, then?! 2
If he could not see Quinn, and if he were to only come back three years later, perhaps Quinn would have already married someone else...
Tom crawled on his knees toward Charlie, and he was about to speak up and plead with him, but at this time, Charlie's cell phone suddenly rang. Someone had sent him a WhatsApp video call request.
Charlie unlocked his cell phone and the person who had sent him the video call request, was actually Quinn.
So, Charlie quickly accepted the video call request. Very soon, Quinn's exquisite and beautiful face appeared on the video screen. She looked very happy a s she smiled happily and asked, "Brother Charlie, I just saw the video of Tom Zielinski hiring fans for his plane pickup on the internet. It's really too funny. Are you the person behind this matter?!" s
