Chris sighed in relief. ‘Phew! Daddy made me promise to maintain his image in front of Mommy. If Mommy finds out Daddy was waiting for her outside like a fool, it won‘t look good...
This was a famous restaurant in Burlington known for its top notch privacy management with many private rooms. Their service was just as excellent, seeing as they had served all kinds of famous people, so they were not frantic when they saw Anthony and Charmine. The doorman greeted them calmly.
“Welcome.”
The manager recognized Anthony right away and quickly went toward them. “Mr. Bailey, this way please.”
Anthony had his own private room in this restaurant. Even if h e made no reservation, the space would remain empty.
As the three of them settled in the private room, Anthony turned and looked at Charmine. “What would you like? Your order,” Anthony asked, voice sweetly laced lovingly and gently. The manager was startled to hear such a tone from Anthony
Anthony had never brought a woman here before. The manager could hardly believe his eyes that Anthony was with
Charmine at this moment.
Charmine placed Momo on the chair and said, “Nah, I‘ve eaten. Just order for yourself and Momo. Momo, what would you like?” she asked as she handed the menu to Chris.
“Hmm…” Chris trailed off before he piped up, “I want the pork chop, chicken wings, and the family set!” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Of course.” The manager typed in the order onto his device.
Anthony ordered another dish and flipped to the dessert section. “Could we have the cake as well?”
“Of course.” The manager answered before leaving the private room with their order.
Charmine eyed him suspiciously. “You like to eat cake?”
Was this not what girls would prefer to eat?
Anthony looked at her and commented, “I ordered it for you. You might be bored when we‘re eating later.”
Once again, Charmine‘s heart began beating wildly against her ribcage. Why did he have to be so caring?
“I‘m going to the restroom. Look after Momo.”
Anthony nodded. “Be careful,” he reminded.
Charmine stood up and left the room, her mind stirred in confusion as she did. It had only been two days, but she somehow felt their relationship had reached a more intimate level. If this went on, she feared she would fall for him.
In the restroom, she gently slapped her face as she eyed herself in the mirror. ‘Charmine Jordan, you can‘t fall in love with Anthony! You‘re leaving in half a year, and you can‘t be with Anthony...!
It was at that moment that the door to the restroom opened, and a woman walked in.
It was Claire Eastly
When Claire saw that it was Charmine, her eyes sparkled.“ Charmine?” she called out.
After what happened the other day, she left the scene right away. She could not afford to let anyone know she was the one who sent the video to Veronica. She knew Charmine was way ahead, unbeatable. Claire could not afford to be her enemy.
In the past few days, Claire had tried all kinds of ways to get in touch with Charmine with no luck. The last thing she expected was to meet her in the restroom!
Charmine glanced at her and clearly did not want to speak to her. She walked toward the door instead.
Claire ran up to her and said, “Charmine, HollyOak Entertainment is serious about signing you. What‘s holding you back? We have the best resources with handsome funding. Have you heard of the Milan family from America? The family i san oil tycoon, and their resources are way better than your

diamond mine. HollyOak has many resources. All you have to d o is to sign with us, and we can promise to bring the best out o
fyou.”
Charmine stopped in her tracks. The Milan family? Kelly Milan‘s family? She never knew the Milan family invested in HollyOak Entertainment.
“Does Kelly Milan know about you trying to sign me? Did she even agree to this?”.
“Of course. When she heard about it, she even specifically made me promise her that I‘ll sign you under any condition.” Claire reassured.‘ Charmine‘s eyes narrowed. What was her intention?
