Charmine’s eyes swept across the assistant standing
at the door before responding to Tiffany, “There’s
nothing wrong with clam chowder, but… This clam
chowder isn’t for you.” Charmine eyed Tiffany
condescendingly before she turned to the assistant
and asked, “Since you’re here, why are you still
standing there?”
The assistant instantly hurried over to Charmine’s
side and placed the clam chowder in front of her. “Ms.
Charmine, please enjoy this dish,” came his curt
response. “Our chairman stayed by the stove for three
hours just to make this clam chowder for you.” 1
Tiffany was dumbfounded; the clam chowder was not
for her but for Charmine instead! Charmine was just
a newbie, yet she already had a chairman preparing
clam chowder for her personally? That was
maddening. Extremely maddening!
Everyone in the room began to point and sneer at
Tiffany while they eyed Charmine with admiration.
Charmine received the dish and sampled the clam
chowder rather elegantly.
The moment she tasted it, her taste buds were greeted
with the fresh, perfectly seasoned flavor of the clams.
It was not oily and was utterly delectable. She could
not believe that Anthony—the big-shot ‘macho’ man—
could make such a great dish. 2
Tiffany watched as Charmine enjoyed the dish, and
she wallowed in jealousy. The clam chowder doubled
as a slap in the face for Tiffany, and she refrained
from letting the anger and embarrassment show on
her face. “Charmine, my sister, did you just accept
food from a stranger without first checking their
identity?” she asked in an attempt to mask her
emotions. “You must know that all men have evil
intentions.
“Accepting his food means that you accept his
courtship. From now on, you won’t be able to get rid
of him. If you really wanted to eat something, you
could have Veronica or Ronnie get it for you. No
matter what you want to eat, they’ll be able to buy it
for you. Why did you have to accept food from a
stranger?” Tiffany’s words seem to carry the tone of
an elder sister trying to look out for her younger
sibling; it was filled with care and concern. 2
Charmine then bitterly smirked at Tiffany as she
replied, “Oh, really? Can they really get me anything
that I want to eat? In that case, can you get them to
buy me an ice cream from La Dolce?”
The concern on Tiffany’s face instantly disappeared.
La Dolce was an internet sensation and a famous
restaurant in Burlington city. The people queuing at
the restaurant could be as much as a few hundred
each day. People would have to queue at least a
couple of hours to even buy a n ice cream.
When Tiffany did not reply right away, Charmine
cocked her brows and added, ” Why aren’t you
speaking? You seemed really serious when you spoke
before. Unless… You only said all those things for the
people around us to hear?” 1
Tiffany’s face blushed into a deep shade of purple as
she felt the questioning gazes from the onlookers. She
focused on keeping her calm and smiled weakly. “Of
course not! Since that’s what my sister wants to eat,
I’ll make sure you get it. Ronnie, what are you waiting
for? Hurry up and get it.”
“Yes, Miss.” Little Ronnie, who was in the middle of
massaging Tiffany’s shoulders, pursed her lips and
left swiftly.
`It’s a scorching hot day. They must’ve wanted me
dead by standing in a queue for several hours. This
cunning Charmine is too good at ruining people’s
lives,’ Ronnie fumed to herself. 1

After Ronnie left, Tiffany thought about business and
turned around to face Charmine again to say, “Sister
Charmine, since you’ve eaten the clam chowder,
wouldn’t it be better for you to ask about this
chairman’s background and credentials? You should
express your gratitude, at the very least. It’s only
proper t o do so.” This mysterious chairman had
already helped Charmine avoid humiliation twice
now. She needed to figure out who this person was!
Charmine’s lips curled into an attractive smile. “If it
were you, you’d definitely need t o thank him. For me,
however, there’s no such need…” Charmine’s gaze
landed on the assistant and she continued in a low
voice, ” After all, he’s the assistant of Prince Simon
Gray. As Prince Simon Gray is my subordinate, I don’t
need to thank the subordinate of my subordinate.”
Her tone was haughty and arrogant.
Charmine was lying, but she did it for Anthony’s sake. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
If Tiffany discovered it was him all along, she would
definitely latch onto him and never let him go.
Tiffany’s gaze turned icy as she turned to look at the
assistant with an incredulous expression. “You’re
Prince Simon Gray’s assistant?”
