Chapter 774
Charmine had just settled in her seat when she suddenly felt something rubbing against her leg, as if something had come near her.
She wanted to look down and see what it was, but when she subconsciously felt that it was Anthony’s leg, her body stiffened.
'This is the conference room with hundreds of people sitting behind US, yet Anthony's so close and even rubbed his leg against me! Oh, the chaos if anyone found out..!’
She swung her knees slightly, signaling for him to remove his leg, but Anthony shook his leg too as if he was answering to her. 3
That felt so flirtatious to Charmine at that split second, and Charmine felt her face warming.
'This man really can't behave himself. How dare he tease me with so many people around?!'
Fortunately, the conference table was a very long wooden table, and with a piece of solid wood board in front, others would not know what went down below the table.
Charmine anxiously prayed, 'Please, don’t let anyone know. Please don't let anyone find out...!'
Not long after, the conference began.
"Welcome, everyone, to Burlington’s business conference in the year 2020!"
Even as the master of the ceremony extended a long paragraph, the representatives from Kansas showed no reaction. It was as if they were not satisfied with the clauses.
At that moment, the person in charge from Burlington announced, "A round of applause as we welcome Mr. Bailey and Ms. D'Cruz to come up the stage for a speech."
Everyone's attention zeroed in on Anthony and Waverly.
At that split second, Anthony retrieved his long leg that leaned against
Charmine. He got up and walked up the stage with a prestigious stance.
Waverly followed closely behind, elegant as ever.
Anthony faced the crowd below the stage, and when his gaze landed on Charmine, he felt a sense of unwillingness deep within him.
Still, as he thought of the public and the arrangements needed during these ten days, he ended up opening his thin lips and said, 'Ten days from now, Ms. D'Cruz and I will be engaged."
His comment was meaningful and influential.
As soon as he blurted the comment, a round of applause came down like thunder throughout the hall.
Everyone clapped. Some were those who expressed their blessings to Anthony, while others applauded as their eventual diplomatic wedding would liven up business relations between Kansas and Burlington.
Indeed, the representatives of Kansas exchanged glances with one another as their eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
Initially, they thought that Anthony and Waverly's issue was just a work of the media. However, from the looks of it, it seemed to be real.
The D'Cruz family was a symbol of royalty in Kansas, and according to ancient texts, they truly were similar to such status.
As Anthony grasped the authority of Burlington's finance, it would be an alliance between two powerful organizations when both Anthony and Waverly were united in a diplomatic marriage.
