Chapter 315


    Lindsey sneered, “Are you saying she’s not your cousin?”


    “Of course not! Noreen looked at Emily with contempt. “How could my cousin be a delivery girl?”


    Emily stood there, having dealt with difficult customers at the dessert shop where she worked. But she


    felt unusually embarrassed being here in front of Charlie.


    She lowered her head and said quietly, “I’m not Ms. Shenton’s cousin. You got the wrong person. Can I


    go now?”


    Charlie shed a smile and turned to Nora, asking, “Are you feeling better now? Should we let her off


    the hook?”


    Nora responded with a yful pout, “Fine, I’m in a good mood today. I won’t bother with her.”


    Charlie affectionately remarked, “Our Nora is truly kind-hearted!”


    Nora yfully flirted, tilting her head with a captivating smile, and replied, “Oh, I’m just a soft-hearted


    person!”


    Charlie chuckled and pushed her hand away, turning to walk towards Emily.


    Nora’s smile faded, puzzled as she watched him approach Emily.


    He walked right up to Emily, tilted his head, and asked, “Have you been crying?”


    Emily looked up, her eyes welled with tears, “No.”


    Charlie affectionately patted Nora on the head. “Silly girl, couldn’t you see they were bullying you? If


    you encounter someone like this again, just ssh your drink in their face. It’s just a job, right? If you


    lose it, so be it. I’m here, I won’t let you be unemployed.””


    Emily didn’t feel wronged, but tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly lowered her gaze.


    Everyone else was taken aback. Nora looked at Charlie and asked cautiously, “Charlie, do you know


    her?”


    The smile on Charlie’s face faded. “She’s like my little sister.”


    Nora was speechless, unable to find the right words to respond.


    She started panicking, “I…I didn’t know, I really didn’t!”


    She turned to re at Lindsey. Wasn’t she supposed to be Noreen’s cousin? How did she be


    Charlie’s sister?


    Charlie nodded indifferently, “It’s alright. No harm done!”


    Nora finally rxed.


    But Charlie didn’t spare her another nce, only telling Emily, “Don’t work today, just go home.”


    “Huh?” Emily looked at him, puzzled.


    Charlie said, “I haven’t had dinner yet. I want to eat your cooking.”


    his train of thought, and btedly replied, “There aren’t any ingredients in the


    15.06


    fridge.”


    She had been too busytely and hadn’t had time to cook for days. She asionally grabbed


    something to eat casually when she was hungry.


    “Then let’s go shopping now!” Charlie said, pulling Emily by the hand towards the door.


    Emily followed, feeling like everyone in the room was staring at her.


    Nora suddenly panicked, quickly following them in her high heels, and caught his arm at the door,


    “Charlie!”


    Charlie turned his gaze towards Nora, confusion evident in his expression as he asked, “What?”


    Nora felt a wave of difort wash over her due to Charlie’s cold gaze. However, she mustered a


    smile and reminded him, “You promised we would have dinner together tonight. You even mentioned


    having a gift for me that you would give meter.”


    Suddenly remembering, Charlie swiftly held Emily’s hand and dialed a number on his phone. “Wait a


    moment,” he instructed. “Bring the items from the car up here!”


    The driver on the other end of the phone acknowledged.


    Soon, the driver came up with a gift bag and handed it to Charlie.

    Charlie gave the gift bag to Nora, smiling, “This is for you, our break-up gift!”
