Chapter 808
Charmine frowned. "What is it?" she asked suspiciously.
'The builders accidentally triggered the gas pipeline, and there was a gas leak on site. They're making arrangements with the related departments, and we'll need you here to sign it," explained Adam.
Charmine frowned. They triggered the gas pipeline? How was that possible?
The Jordan Group’s builders had always been of the most professional, and they would usually not make such a major mistake.
She had to go to the site and inspect it.
After hanging up, she said to Anthony, "Go home, I need to sort out some work."
"Bring Luke along, he can help you," offered Anthony.
"No need," Charmine turned him down, "I can handle it on my own. We must keep things as low-profile as possible in the following days," she added as she buttoned up his shirt and fixed his black suit. Once done, she pushed him out of the room and ushered him as she walked, "Hurry, go! I'll see you at night." 1
Anthony was unwilling to leave, but hearing those four words, 'see you at night’,
his expression softened a little.
Just as he got to the tunnel, Anthony stopped and lowered his head to gently peck her forehead. "Remember to come at night," he reminded her firmly.
"Okay," Charmine answered.
After walking him out, she closed the tunnel door and went to get changed quickly.
Kay had stationed about ten bodyguards around the villa’s perimeters early that morning. When they saw Charmine walking out, Kay went forward and lowered his head politely. "My apologies, everything that happened last
night was due to our negligence. Please allow US to make it up to you." 1
While they were tasked to protect Charmine, she would do most of the work herself and thus they did not have any chance to step in. That was why they became less cautious. Never did they think Julian could find a blind spot and went in when they were idle in their conversations. 1
"Wash my toilet for a week," snapped Charmine.
Wash her toilet?
Kay's face turned green. "You may even ask me to re-train at the base for a week! Can I not wash the toilet?" 1
He absolutely hated washing the toilet!
"No, this is an order. Get to it!"
Charmine's voice was stern. After saying that, she marched to the garage and drove away.
What happened last night was severe, and she did not want that to happen for a second time.
Professionals like Kay carried out important duties, and they had to be badly punished to reinforce alertness into their system.
Alas, the aggrieved Kay could only wash the toilet...
As Charmine drove out of the villa, she saw Anthony’s car by the fork of the Violet Residence's road.
For ventilation purposes, they did not close their windows. One could plainly see Anthony sitting with Waverly, and although Waverly intentionally kept her distance, the space inside the car was still narrow.
