Chater 816


    Charlie’s ride was here and he’d already hopped in.


    As Waters watched Charlie head off, she felt a bit bummed out.


    Jane strolled over, a smile on her face, “Waters, why didn’t you leave with Charlie?”


    “Almost had him!” Waters sighed, sounding a tad disappointed, “Didn’t you say Charlie was easy to


    approach? Did I not have enough charm?”


    Janeughed, “If you’recking in charm, then we might as well not even call ourselves women!”


    She paused, seemingly lost in thought, “Charlie has beenying low recently, no new girlfriends as far

    as I know, but with your qualition, you’ll definitely have a shot.”


    Waters responded nonmittally, “How are you going home?”


    “I’m hitching a ride with Andrew. You?”


    Waters jiggled her car keys, “Drove here myself. Since you’ve got a ride, I won’t bother you. Anyway,


    thanks for bringing me here to meet Charlie.”


    “No problem!” Jane waved it off, “I should get going, we’ll catch up soon.”


    “Sure thing!”


    With a bright smile, Waters waved goodbye.


    She wanted to make a name for herself in J City, to stand out in the J City branch office, and she had to

    She thought she could maybe use her looks to snag Charlie, but he didn’t give her the time of day.


    But this just sparked herpetitive spirit. She didn’t believe that with her looks and figure, she


    couldn’t bag Charlie.


    Waters smirked a determined smirk and made her way to her car.


    Charlie sat in his car, gazing at the passing night view. He felt a void in his chest, as if it was filled with


    the evening breeze, causing a restless echo that was making him irritable.


    The driver suddenly spoke, “Mr. James, your order has arrived. As per your instructions, it’s been


    delivered.”


    “Hmm.” Charlie responded, pausing slightly before adding, “Take me to the Royal Mansion.”


    He walked in, switched on the lights, and was met with a familiar yet mncholy feeling.


    It was as if someone woulde out of the kitchen with a shy smile and two adorable dimples, calling


    out, “Charlie!”


    He stood there for a while, as if waiting for that person, even though he knew she’d never appear.


    After a while, Charlie moved to the living room and noticed the Lego castle box in the middle.


    He got a pair of scissors, opened the box, poured out the contents, and started assembling it ording


    to the instructions.


    With the AC on and the temperature rising, he just took off his jacket, sat cross-legged on the floor, and


    focused on his castle,


    In the quiet of the night, Charlie’s phone on the couch buzzed asionally, but he paid it no mind,


    engrossed in his project. It seemed to give him more joy than the women calling him.


    At two in the morning, Charlie ced apleted section on the coffee table, looking at it with


    satisfaction. It wasn’t until he couldn’t keep his eyes open any longer that Charlie tidied up and went to


    bed.


    That night, he slept soundly, as if he’d finally found something to fill the void in his heart.


    Two dayster, Estelle officially returned to the set. Gwen and Craig thought she waste and insisted


    she treat them to lunch as an apology.
