Chapter 593
Charmine stiffened at the thought as she hastily agreed, "Okay!"
Anthony then stood up and walked to the door, turning to her before he walked out. "I really had no choice but to carry Annabel. If my lady minds it, I won't do it again."
With that, he left.
He knew clearly why Charmine declined his video-calls-it was Annabel.
Charmine did not expect him to make such a promise. Her uncertain heart from the morning had become somewhat calmer.
Anthony came to the conference in-person to meet her... Perhaps she really had thought too lowly of his feelings for her. 1
She hoped everything would stay perfect for the next seven days.
Charmine did not realize how her usually smart and dominating self became so small in terms of relationships. She felt as if she was on a rollercoaster throughout.
On that same day, the photo of Anthony and Charmine shaking hands made headlines in all business news outlets and went viral.
In the lab, McKenzie looked at a video clip of the press conference, and her elegant eyes darkened.
Huh! Merely business partners? 'Merely'? Those two were that good at acting.
Annabel was already hurt, yet Anthony still came to meet Charmine? Was Charmine so much more important, more so than Annabel? 1
Everything might spiral out of control in the next seven days if McKenzie did nothing on this.
Thinking of something, she took out her phone to text, [You've not made any progress? Do you want the Walker gang to exist at all?]
Concurrently, at the Jordan Group...
The Jordan Group steadily grew better due to their newfound partnership with Bailey Corporation. Several matters were easily fixed, and Charmine was finally able to go home early.
Just as she walked out of her office, however, she bumped into a man.
The man had a high pile of boxes and a handful of things. Their collision scattered everything.
Thomp!
A stack of boxes fell on the floor as slices of pizzas laid everywhere.
Drinks like Sprite were spilled all over Charmine.
Charmine looked up to see that the person she bumped into was Tristan.
She asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"
'What a coincidence!" Tristan looked surprised. After a moment of shock, he explained, "I have a music shop down there, and I bought these for my friends. Seems like you've knocked down their food."
Charmine looked at the pizzas on the ground and the Muse Club down the road. "You own Muse Club?" She frowned.
It was not far from the Jordan Group, so Charmine had heard about it.
The 'Muse' from Muse Club meant music, and the club was the most professional auditory club in Burlington. They had all kinds of instruments including the guitar, harp, flute, saxophone, drums, piano, and the likes.
