Chapter 109
After she had finished eating, Charmine was dragged by Christ o the sofa to rest. It was not long before Chris fell asleep lying o n her lap. His little chubby body was like a tiny kitten. Charmine softly stroked his hair as she turned her eyes toward the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Anthony had on a gray apron and was in the middle of doing the dishes. Dressed in a suit and tie, he looked completely out of place in the kitchen, his movements unnatural. The heavy rain had stopped and a beam of sunlight shone through from behind the clouds. By coincidence, the , sunlight landed on Anthony, illuminating his tall and well built physique and making it look as though he was plated in gold. He looked extraordinarily handsome.
Charmine was engrossed by the scene that her hand stroking Chris started to slow down. She could not pinpoint when it began, but her life had become more lively ever since these two had entered it. The days to come without them… Sigh, what was she thinking? A future without them would be the same as right now. She was not ‘with’ them, they were only here to sign a contract with her.
The rain had stopped so they should leave. Charmine turned away and slowly shut her eyes, trying to gather up her unwanted thoughts. At that moment, Anthony walked into the room. He had already removed the apron and now looked as he
usually did with his cool composure. Without looking at him, Charmine said in a direct manner, “Here, carry Chris. You can bring him home now.”
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid we can’t leave today,” Anthony responded. He sat down next to her on the sofa and casually draped his arm over her shoulder.
“Why not?” Charmine asked with a scowl. What excuse had Anthony come up with now to stick to her?
Anthony replied humorlessly, “Did you read the terms of the agreement when you signed the contract?” , This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Of course I did,” she retorted. Charmine, aware of her role, had a sharp eye and could read through contracts critically and with great detail. No one had ever been able to trap her because of that. Furthermore, the contract she signed was between her and the Bailey Corporation. How could there be a contract clause that would allow Anthony to stay at her house?
Anthony stared at her and asked calmly, “Can you tell me what the second last clause in the contract states?”
Charmine thought it through before responding, “After signing the contract, Party B shall be obliged to confirm with the person-in-charge, known as Party A, all plans related to the auto show…” As soon as she reached that part of the clause, she stopped and frowned, “You’re the person-in charge?”
“Yes.” He said that one word in all seriousness. Charmine felt like she had been trapped for the first time. She could have never imagined that Anthony Bailey, the lofty head of a big corporation, would personally manage a small fry like her. She collapsed onto the sofa and said, “Go ahead, what plans do we need to confirm?”
“Hmm…” Anthony looked deep in thought for a moment before saying, “As the person-in-charge, I need to ensure that your catwalk is up to scratch. Imagine you’re on the runway now and show me your catwalk.”
“Anthony! Do you have a death wish?” Charmine glared at him.
Chris responded with a straight face, “What’s the problem? Practicing ahead of time is standard protocol.” ,
“Huh, are you sure about that?” she said while narrowing her eyes at him, a sharp gleam flashing through them. Even if that was standard protocol, Anthony’s motives were definitely not!
As calm as ever, Anthony replied, “We can leave the catwalk for now. In that case, why don’t you show us a pose?”
“Get! Out! Get out immediately! I want you gone within three minutes!” Charmine picked Chris up and stuffed him into Anthony’s arms. She stood up and swiftly walked upstairs. This man was messing with her while wearing a straight face! She had no time for this nonsense!
