Chapter 189
Anthony had a point. Charmine felt not a sting of pain or hurt anywhere in her body. Better yet, she was not in any form of discomfort.
The more she went over it, Charmine realized she did not feel anything remotely off about her body.
That meant…
“So nothing happened, then?” she asked in a daze. “You really didn’t do anything to me?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not desperate enough to take advantage of others,” came Anthony’s reply i na slightly raised tone before he walked toward the bathroom.
As he passed her, Charmine’s eyes glued onto his back in disbelief. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Was Anthony telling the truth that he did not do anything to her last night?a
This man had expressed his desire to marry even when they first met. Did he genuinely not act on that desire with the given window of opportunity? 1
Charmine felt strangely touched.
Anthony exited the washroom, already donned with a fresh pair of clothes.
He handed her a bag in the locker next to her and said, “These are your clothes.”
“Thanks.” Charmine took it and headed for the washroom.
As she passed him, she stopped and asked, “Did I do anything out of character last night?”
Anthony thought of what happened last night and remarked, “What do you think?”
Charmine blushed at his insinuating tone.
She ripped off his clothes! Was that not out of character?
“Ahem! J- Just forget about it then. No need to recall anything!”
Anthony looked at her and said a simple, “Why?”.
What did he mean, ‘why? Did he still need to ask?
Charmine fumed. “Anthony, what are you trying to do? Do you want me to terminate our agreement?” 1
Amazing. The woman still dared to threaten him.
Anthony found her rather adorable with her frizzy hair sticking out. She was also more expressive than her usual cold self.
Thinking that she had to go on with her day later, he did not have the heart to tease her. He just said, “Rest assured, I’ve already forgotten what happened last night.” He would only keep it in his heart as a nostalgic memory.
Charmine huffed and went into the washroom.
The washroom had been cleaned, and there was no trace of what had transpired the night before. Still, it did not erase the vague memory she still had with her…
When she saw the bathtub, the memory of her pulling off her clothes and Anthony holding her back replayed again in her mind.
Her heart went into a thumping frenzy. Last night was unbelievable!
It embarrassed her to no end, but she was just as angry at the thought that something terrible almost happened to her. She wanted nothing more than to kill Manager Brown!
In the lobby, Luke got a message from his phone and arrested Manager Brown. 1
Manager Brown dropped on his knees. Though he was afraid of Luke, he persisted, “I was wronged! Manager Claire had investigated it, and the footage clearly shows that Ms. Charmine asked for me and wanted special services!”
As he said this, Luke stepped forward and handed over the video to Anthony and said, “ Chairman, it was Ms. Charmine who invited him. Many people witnessed it.”
Indeed, the video showed that Aunt Cherrie relayed the word for Manager Brown to pay Charmine a visit. The video also showed Charmine opening the door on her own free will for Manager Brown.
Anthony left the video aside and swept his eyes coolly over Manager Brown.
“You have one last chance to tell the truth,” he needled, tone cold and threatening.
Manager Brown’s entire being trembled in fear, but he kept remembering the voice in his head.
‘If everything goes according to plan, I’ll give you three million. If it fails but the blame isn’t pinned to me, I’ll give you ten million, but you better do it well…!’
If he failed, Anthony would not let him off the hook. He might even face jail-time!
Thus, Manager Brown’s only option left was for him to persevere. Three million awaited him! He firmly insisted, “Mr. Bailey, please believe me. I’m telling the truth!”
