Chapter 875
"Between now and then, I'll keep my distance from him."
Anthony frowned. Selective amnesia drug?
Well, it would be ideal if Julian and Alexander could forget about her body.
However...
"How long is this project going to take?"
"Well...”
Thinking it through, Charmine hooked her hands around his neck. "The duration isn't certain, but what happened today was an accident. I'll only spend a maximum of four hours there every day. If you really do mind, I could bring you along?" 1
Bring him along?
Anthony's face eased. He carried her to the bed.
"No need. Four hours? I'll check on you anytime," he spoke, placing her on the bed as he did and gazed at her.
"If I realize you two have any intimate action, I’ll punish you."
Before Charmine could assess what Anthony meant by 'punishment', he kissed her again, but he managed to hold himself back before he got too heated.
Charmine could feel his restraint. It stung her heart, knowing he was holding it back.
"Actually, you don't have to hold back. I'm willing to."
Perhaps Anthony's insecurity was due to the restraint between them.
If this would make him feel more secure, she was willing to...
However, Anthony huskily replied, 'Til wait till the day we tie the knot officially." 3
This was the basic respect he would show to her.
Charmine was speechless.
As a grown man, he was willing to hold himself back for her. It had to be painful.
She looked around and decided to change the topic.
"Right, my company has a situation again. I'm planning to bring you, Waverly, and Susan for a press conference."
Anthony reached out to ruffle her hair. "I'll listen to you."
Charmine's eyes twinkled. Waverly would have it bad tomorrow!
Downstairs, Waverly was unable to fall asleep.
Susan told her earlier on about Charmine and William. She thought she could use this chance to get to Anthony.
Never did Waverly foresaw she would be blocked, literally, from going upstairs throughout the day.
That big and ugly robot barricaded her way, giving her no chance to get close to Anthony.
She also thought Charmine would be in for a shouting match when she got home, punished even, but Waverly heard nothing like that from upstairs. It was as if nothing happened.
Damn it! Anthony spoiled and loved Charmine so much!
Furthermore, she knew about William, a renowned young scientist in Kansas. He was, for these women, the Prince Charmine.
Even the royalties looked up to the scientists. William’s reputation was praiseworthy in Kansas.
