Chapter 35
After settling ine''s problem, ine and Charlie parted ways. Hugging the suitcase happily like a
child holding a lollipop, ine went to the bank to make a deposit while Charlie went home. 3
Upon entering the house, Charlie saw ire''s shoes in the hallway, so he knew that she had
returned and went straight to their bedroom. 1
As soon as he entered the room, he saw his wife just hanging up the phone, her face painted with
surprise and excitement.
He asked curiously, "Dear, who was it on the phone?"
ire shrieked excitedly, "It''s my bestie, Doreen! Do you remember her?" 1
"Yes, I do," Charlie nodded and continued, "She used to study in Aurous Hill and was very close to
you. In fact, if I recall correctly, she is the daughter of the wealthy Thomas family in Eastcliff, isn’t
she?" 2
"Yes!" ire said, "Doreen''s family is quite prominent i n Eastcliff." 2
Charlie smiled and asked, "So what is it about? Is sheing to Aurous Hill for a visit?" 2
"Not just for a visit, she’sing to work here!" 2
Charlie frowned, confused. "She is the daughter of a prominent family in Eastcliff. Why doesn''t she
work
for her family’spany bute to work here instead?" 2
ire shrugged. "I don''t know either. She told me that she is going to start working for Emgrand
Group. As for why she hase all the way to Emgrand, I''m not sure." 5
Charlie nodded in acknowledgement but there was a thought running through his mind. ''Although
the Thomas family was not on par with the Wade family, they have a strong foundation in Eastcliff.
Loreen has no excuse to ditch her family business ande to Aurous Hill to work with Emgrand.''
3
''Hmm, does she have another hidden agenda that I''m not aware of?'' 5
Skeptical thoughts filled Charlie’s mind and he hadn''t had a clue for the moment, so all he could do
for now was to wait until Loreen joined Emgrand Group and let Doris investigate her background
and motives. 3
Meanwhile, ire patted her forehead as if an abrupt thought struck her head and said, "Oh yes,
Charlie, I have a meeting with Emgrand Group tomorrow, but I don''t think I can make it. Could you
pick up Loreen at the airport, please? Find a ce for lunch too.” 3

Charlie nodded. "Alright, I''ll make some arrangements tomorrow."
"Find a nicer ce while you’re at it and don''t mind the expenses. Here, take my card." 2
She was grabbing her purse and was about to hand it t o him when Charlie hurriedly stopped her.
"Nah, it''s okay. I have a friend who runs quite a decent restaurant, let me arrange for it." 1
Charlie took out his phone and was about to send a text message to Isaac in Shangri-La, asking
him to reserve a table for him. 1
On second thought, Shangri-La was a surprise for his dear wife, so it would be better to entertain
Loreen in another venue. 3
Hence, he sent the message to the next person in his mind-Albert.
"I want to host a dinner to entertain a friend. Help me arrange for it at a high-end hotel, excluding
Shangri-L a." 1
Soon, he received a reply from Albert. "Mr. Wade, I own a ce called Heaven Springs, it is one of
the most exclusive restaurants in Aurous Hill that isparable to Shangri-La. I''ll reserve the best
Diamond Suite tomorrow as well as the best feast for you and your guest. I''m honored to have you
in my restaurant." 2
Charlie simply replied with an ''okay''.

The next day, ire spent the entire day at the Emgrand Group headquarters, dealing and
arranging matters rted to the project and their coboration.
Charlie called Doris and asked her about Loreen''s job
appointment.
Doris was genuinely surprised that Charlie knew about this. She told him that Loreen had applied
for a n administrative director post, which was a middlelevel management position. After reviewing
her resume, they found that she was an excellent candidate for the job. Hence, they decided to hire
her and her first day at work would be in a few days'' time.
