Chapter 591
Charmine's eyelids jumped. These reporters were all gossipers- professional gossipers. She was done for if they knew her relationship with Anthony.
Meanwhile, another reporter asked, "Ms. Jordan, President Bailey, why did you come to this deal? Is there something between the two of you?"
Seeing how Anthony was about to answer, she lowered her head and took the chance to answer, "Please don’t speculate nonsense. President Bailey and I are purely business partners.”
Business partners?
A flash of unnoticeable darkness appeared in Anthony*s eyes.
Purely business partners?
Was Charmine that eager to wash herself clean from him?
Someone then asked, "How did Ms. Jordan seal this deal with President Bailey? Isn’t it impossible for most people to meet President Bailey?"
"I went to the Bailey Corporation to discuss the deal," Charmine cleverly replied, "and President Bailey was merely impressed by the Jordan Group's proposal. That's it.”
Her tone was professional and business-like, not even sparing Anthony a glance as she answered.
Anthony’s eyes narrowed. 'That’s it’? How embarrassed was this woman of their relationship?
Was he such an embarrassment to her? 1
A bunch of reporters asked, some even directed the questions at Anthony.
"President Bailey, is that true about what Ms. Jordan said? Were you merely impressed by their proposal? Why did you come to this small press conference in person?"
Charmine's heart thumped rapidly. If Anthony said anything that he should not be saying, it would be over.
Reluctantly, she eyed Anthony as she weakly kicked his leg below the table.
The drapery covering the table perfectly concealed the small act beneath the table.
Anthony's gaze sharpened as he felt Charmine kicking his leg. He said to the reporters, "Ms. Jordan and I..."
With that, he paused intentionally.
Charmine was terrified by this, maintaining a faint smile as she pinched Anthony's thigh.
It was hard for people to not assume things if he kept pausing for a dramatic effect!
Anthony felt a stinging pain on his thigh.
His eyes darkened again. How dare Charmine pinched his thigh!?
Did she not know that one should not simply pinch a man’s thigh?
Despite the sharp pain on his thigh, Anthony's face remained cold and unchanged, stoic as he was. "Ms. Jordan and I are purely business partners," he finally answered through the microphone.
A man and a woman partnering for business.
With that said, he continued, "The Bailey family will fully support the Jordan family from now on. Whoever goes against the Jordans will be going against the Baileys. Please be warned."
After that, he pushed the microphone away, making it apparent that he was unwilling to answer any more questions.
He then stood up and reached out his hand to Charmine. "Ms. Jordan, looking forward to working with you."
Charmine felt her heart thrashing around as she eyed his large hand, yet she had to put on a calm and unperturbed face as she stuck out her own.
