Chapter 1684


    At that time, she had been extremely nervous in front of Charlie. 3


    As she had been bewildered and at a loss for what to d o, she had handed Charlie the cup of milk


    tea that she was holding in her hand. She had even told him that she wanted to give him the milk


    tea. However, she truly did not expect Charlie to actually take the cup of milk tea from her before


    taking a sip of the drinks. 6


    Moreover, Nanako had just been using that straw before Charlie took over the cup of milk tea, and


    he had drunk using the same straw. That kind of indirect kissing was the most ambiguous thing that


    Nanako had ever done with a man in her lifetime. 5


    Nanako had also been constantly thinking of that indirect kiss ever since that day.


    As she thought about Charlie, she subconsciously raised her slender finger as she began writing


    Charlie''s name on the surface of the water. 2


    There were soft waves and ripples on the surface of the water, but the water did not retain any


    traces of anything that she wrote on it.


    It was precisely because it was such a fleeting trace and because the words were gone in a sh


    that Nanako felt even bolder and more confident. She wrote Charlie’s name over and over again on


    the


    surface of the water without leaving any traces behind, s


    That night, Nanako could not fall asleep even after a long time.


    Soon, the sky in Kyoto gradually cleared up.


    The heavy snowfall that the Kinki Regional Meteorological Department had forecasted did not


    come. 7


    Early the next morning, the weather forecasters stated that due to the impact of the air currents, the


    heavy snowfall that had originally been estimated to fallst night was estimated to be dyed. The


    snowfall would probablye two to three dayster than initially expected. 4


    Nanako felt somewhat regretful because of the dyed snowfall. 4


    She got the feeling that even the weather was going against her.


    She thought about Charlie, whom she could not rush t o meet up with even when he was only a few


    hundred kilometers away from herself. She suddenly had a very mncholic thought.

    Perhaps, Charlie and herself were both destined to meet, but not fated to be together! s


    The next day, Aurous Hill.


    Graham rushed to the Quinton family''s warehouse that they used to store all of their medicinal


    herbs and materials early in the morning. After that, he personally directed his employees to


    prepare the medicinal herbs and materials for Charlie.


    The workers and employees at the scene began packing the boxes at full force. At this time,


    Graham was standing aside as he urged them, "All of the medicinal herbs and materials have to be


    checked and inspected manually before they are packed to ensure that it is not packed into the


    wrong boxes. Furthermore, you have to make sure that the medicinal herbs and materials are not


    damaged and have not gone bad. The amount and quantity for each box has to be sufficient too. Do


    you understand?" 5


    "Understood, Mr. Graham!" A group of employees hurriedly responded.


    Graham nodded in satisfaction before he continued speaking, "Make sure the first batch of


    medicinal herbs and materials are prepared before noon. After that, send it to the airport. I have


    already contacted the air cargopany, and they will be flying off at ten o''clock tonight to send the


    goods to Tokyo!" 3


    At the same time, at the Schulz family residence in Eastcliff. 2


    Lord Schulz had been holding a morning meeting every morning in the main hall of the mansion for


    the past twenty years.


    This morning meeting was simr to the meetings that the kings would usually have in ancient


    times. All of the descendants of the Schulz family would have to report the progress of their various


    businesses and industries to Lord Schulz during the daily morning meeting. 4


    Lord Schulz would also give any of his orders and instructions during this meeting.


    The Schulz family was very prosperous and flourished, and there were more than thirty


    descendants and rtives who participated in the morning meeting every day. 3


    The rules for the morning meeting were also very strict. The old man would be seated on a half


    meter high tform as he faced everyone else in a very majestic manner, s


    His sons and daughters, grandchildren, and rtives would all be seated below him in several rows


    ording to their various status and seniority. 1


    At this time, Lord Schulz was seated on the main seat on the tform that looked like an imperial


    throne as he looked at all of his descendants and rtives seated below the tform, and he said


    in a majestic voice, "The recent international crude oil situation continues to cause turbulence in the


    economy, and the global economic downturn has caused the international import and export trade


    to be affected to a certain extent. At present, many shippingpanies are already struggling. This


    is a good time and opportunity for the Schulz family to start bargaining and going against the trend.


    We will have t o elerate our coboration and partnership with the Japanese!"
