Chapter 576
'There's no hurry; we can eat slowly. It doesn't matter if we finish late."
After all, they would not be able to meet for the next ten days after this meal. He would rather the time stopped at this second forever. 1
Seeing through his intention, Charmine took the fork from him and forked herself another piece of fruit. She did not want to spend too much time on this meal. The longer it was, the harder it would be to part with him. She would rather get it over with quickly. 2
With that in mind, Charmine ate much faster.
Anthony looked at her and frowned.
Was she that impatient to part with him?
He lost his appetite at the thought.
Charmine eventually finished the fruit pieces on her plate, but when she looked up, she noticed that the food on Anthony's plate did not decrease at all.
The untouched beef steak seemed to stare Charmine in the face as though it could have said, "If this meal is unfinished, does that mean we'd never have to part?"
Anthony's gaze never wavered from Charmine, his gaze darkening as he did. 4
Charmine’s once relaxed mood was instantly affected by his behavior.
Charmine frowned. "You're a man, Anthony. Can't you make less of a fuss? It’s merely ten days, and it’s not like one of US is dying." 1
"Ten days, 240 hours, 14400 minutes, 864000 seconds. Does that sound easy to you?" Anthony glared at her, his tone sounded unpleasant. 1
Anthony's behavior baffled Charmine.
Why would he be so serious about it?
If she did nothing about it, this could go on and on...
"Don't speak anymore, just eat," asserted Charmine. "I'll allow you to send me back to Jordan Group with a surprise."
A surprise?
Anthony looked at her. She did not look like she was lying, thus he regained his appetite again.
They both left the restaurant after they were done with their meal. 1
The usually swift and sharp Anthony walked significantly slower than usual, seemingly far less efficient than his usual self. 1
Charmine was dumbfounded when she noticed that. After getting in the car, she glanced at the speedometer-merely 20 kilometers per hour...
Was Anthony actually driving the luxurious car like it was some mundane, run-of-the-mill car?
If it was not for the obvious car plate that nobody dared to offend, the sound of horning would have bombarded the entire road.
Charmine did not speak; she allowed Anthony to do what he was doing.
However long he was taking, the car would eventually stop below the tree outside the Jordan Group building.
The windows were down, and nobody could see through from the outside asthe windows were tinted. 1
Charmine unfastened her seatbelt.
Anthony looked at her. "Where's the surprise?"
Was she leaving just like that?
