Chapter 661
That night, Chris made Charmine sleep with Anthony.
Anthony had always thought Chris was a nuisance in his progressing relationship with Charmine... Who would have thought the boy would turn out to be a stellar middle-man? 2
He put his hand around Charmine's waist and fell into a deep slumber.
Anthony woke up later that same midnight as he saw Charmine asleep by her laptop, seemingly to have worked on something before she dozed off.
There was a design diagram displayed on the still-on laptop.
Frowning, he got out of bed and walked over to carry Charmine back to bed. 1
Too tired with everything that happened that day, Charmine was out like a light.
Anthony gently covered her up with a blanket. Thinking of how much Charmine had worked and struggled, he then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.
Late at night, he dialed Nial’s number.
Nial was sleeping soundly when he heard his phone ringing urgently. Dazed and baffled, he answered the call to hear Anthony's voice, "Send all of the information of the potential suitors to my email, and also, cancel all of my company and family matters. I don't mind if you pass them on to Derek." 1
"Huh?" Nial rubbed his eyes as he eyed his watch.
3am in the morning...
"Bro, are you crazy? Am I dreaming right now?"
Passing on his things to Derek would give him a chance to establish control over the family!
Anthony said, i’ll help out in the medical lab tomorrow-we'll solve the issue with Annabel first.'' 1
Annabel's matter was a priority that needed to be finished. He had to fix it first so Charmine would feel better.
Charmine was working her lungs off, so why should he slack off?
Nial wanted to tell him about Derek sending his people to follow him, but Anthony already hung up.
Whatever. Nial felt like he was the mother looking after the two brothers...
On the next day, Charmine was woken up by a phone call.
"Director Jordan, something happened, and it's bad. Max D'Cruz got Westfield! He's going there to sign the contract as we speak!"
Sign the contract?
That smacked Charmine out of her drowsiness. She sat up on the bed and saw the clock on the wall pointing to 10am.
She overslept.
There was no trace of Anthony and Chris on the bed. It was apparent that they turned off her alarm.
After composing her thoughts shortly, she comforted, "Don't panic. I’ll head toward Westfield now."
That contract would not be signed; not on her watch.
Charmine hung up and washed up quickly before going downstairs.
