Charlie nodded. "Just get some rest. Once you’ve recovered, you can then run the restaurant. If I need anything, I’ll be sure to find you." 5
Douglas exclaimed, "Whenever you need me!"
Charlie then added, "Oh, by the way, don't tell anyone about what happened today. I don't want people to know who I am, understood?"
Douglas nodded. "Understood. Don't worry, I’ll be sure t o take this secret with me to the grave!" 4
Charlie smiled. "I'll have two caretakers to take care of you, just get some rest. I'll be off."
Upon reaching home, Charlie didn’t plan on telling Claire about what had happened since he didn’t want her to know too much. It was safer if she didn't know anything about his identity. 3
The next day, as he was buying groceries, Charlie received a call. When he picked up the phone, he realized it was the daughter of the boss of Vintage Deluxe, Jasmine Moore.
Confused, Charlie couldn't help but wonder what Jasmine wanted from him.
As the call went through, Jasmine spoke, "Mr. Wade, I'm so sorry for disturbing you like this."
Charlie asked, "Are there any problems with the
Yuhuchun Vase that I fixed?"
Jasmine replied, "Oh no, not that. I’m calling Mr. Wade for other matters."
Charlie responded, "What is it?"
Jasmine then revealed her intentions. "Well, it's just that something has caught my eye lately, however, I'm not quite experienced in this field, but I heard that Mr. Wade was. Would Mr. Wade fancy helping me identify these antiques?" 6
