Chapter 269


    ire went to her new office early the next morning.


    Meanwhile, Charlie rode his electric scooter to the wet market.


    As ire was very busy with her officetely, he specially bought some nutritious ingredients in


    order t o cook some nice dishes for her.


    After he finished shopping, Charlie walked out of the market and stumbled upon Loreen.


    "Charlie!" Loreen shouted his name, thrilled and overjoyed.


    Charlie was surprised. "Hey, Loreen, what a coincidence!"


    Loreen looked at Charlie and mumbled hesitantly, "Yes ... erm, no... no, I... I..."


    Charlie tilted his head, confused. “Speak slowly. Have you encountered any problems recently?"


    Loreen''s face turned into a bright shade of red.


    Actually, she had waited for him outside ire''s house early in the morning and had been following


    Charlie all the way.


    Loreen cleared her throat, mustered some courage, and said, "I... I''m actually here to thank you for


    saving me yesterday."


    Charlie smiled. "It’s my pleasure, I saved you because you are ire''s best friend, that''s all."


    He found her appearance out of the blue peculiar and he got the answer. 2


    Loreen shook her head and continued firmly, "Charlie, actually... actually I know that you didn''t just


    save me yesterday. The other day at the Aurous Bistro, it was you too." 3


    Charlie''s heart skipped a beat nervously. How did she know about the Aurous Bistro''s incident? He


    was wearing a mask then, she shouldn’t know! 3


    He quickly denied. "Perhaps you’ve gotten the wrong person? I''ve never been to the Aurous Bistro


    or whatever the name of the ce is, it must''ve been someone else." 2


    Loreen nced at him,plex feelings flooding her eyes and emotions. There was aggrievance,


    passion, and a slight resentment in them.


    Why couldn''t he just admit it? Was she so worthless in his eyes? Why didn''t he want to admit that


    he saved her? 2


    Theplex emotions were reced with tears as she started, "When Harold invited me to dinner


    at Aurous Bistro the other day, some rich guy came to bother me and Harold caused some trouble


    with him. Then, he got some gangsters to ambush us at the entrance of the restaurant. At the


    critical moment, Harold dumped me there and escaped, and there was this masked hero who


    appeared out of nowhere and knocked everyone down and saved me from them. Besides, you..." 1


    Loreen''s face was turning into a much brighter red. They had quite an intimate skinship moment


    where Charlie took off her pants... 2


    Of course, she was fully aware that Charlie intended to save her life rather than to have some


    unspeakable and malicious thoughts.

    Charlie''s face, on the other hand, almost turned green. Holy crap, why would she go there and why


    did she touch a sore spot? Could he admit to such doings? 2


    Of course not!


    All hell would break loose if ire found out about what happened between him and her best friend!


    2


    "Loreen, there must be some misunderstanding. Yes, I can fight very well, but that doesn''t mean


    that I saved you." 3


    Then, he quickly added, "Even if it did, I only saved you once yesterday!"


    Facing Charlie''s denial, Loreen sighed quietly and took out the peace and wealth pebble from her


    pocket.


    "What about this pebble? How do you exin it?"


    Charlie red at the pebble in disbelief. Wasn''t it the pebble that he had lost for some time and


    couldn’t find anywhere? Why was it with Loreen now? 2


    Could it be that he dropped the pebble when he rescued her at the Aurous Bistro and she picked it


    up?
