Chapter 199
Charmine turned back and saw Anthony behind her.
She did not know when Anthony had walked behind her. The man wore his home–clothes, which made him seem less cold and more refined and elegant.
She fell backward into his arms; her head arched back as his hands were still clasped at her waist. She was wearing a yoga top and tight yoga pants...
Charmine hastily recomposed herself when she noted that Anthony‘s grip was so tight, unwilling to let her go. She frowned. “Mr.Bailey?”
Anthony asked in a stern voice, “Are you really going to marry Julian?”
“Yes. Didn‘t I tell you before? It‘s a fake wedding, and it won‘t happen as planned,” said Charmine.
Anthony‘s frown never left his face. “This is quite a serious matter in your hands. Do you want to gamble on such a risky thing?” His voice was deep with a hint of displeasure.
Charmine was starting to feel sore from her backward arching pose, so she pushed his arms away with all her strength and explained, “I don‘t think it‘s such a serious matter. It‘s just a strategy.”
She sounded casual, though Anthony looked serious.
‘Using such a serious matter as a strategy??
“Charmine, just say the word, and I‘ll solve whatever it is you‘re facing.”
She did not have to use this as a strategy!
Charmine eyed the man next to her. “Mr. Bailey, you have to remember one thing: You can use your resources to settle everything in the world except for the hearts of people. Besides, don‘t you forget that when we signed the contract, we did agree to not get involved with each other‘s private life. I hope you can keep your end of the bargain.”
With that, Charmine pushed him away and left.
Anthony‘s eyes darkened as he watched her retreating form.
When Charmine walked past the sofa, she saw her phone lit up. She picked it up and replied to Julian:
