Chapter 69


    Charmine’s eyes swept across the assistant standing


    at the door before responding to Tiffany, “There’s


    nothing wrong with m chowder, but… This m


    chowder isn’t for you.” Charmine eyed Tiffany


    condescendingly before she turned to the assistant


    and asked, “Since you’re here, why are you still


    standing there?”


    The assistant instantly hurried over to Charmine’s


    side and ced the m chowder in front of her. “Ms.


    Charmine, please enjoy this dish,” came his curt


    response. “Our chairman stayed by the stove for three


    hours just to make this m chowder for you.” 1


    Tiffany was dumbfounded; the m chowder was not


    for her but for Charmine instead! Charmine was just


    a newbie, yet she already had a chairman preparing


    m chowder for her personally? That was


    maddening. Extremely maddening!


    Everyone in the room began to point and sneer at


    Tiffany while they eyed Charmine with admiration.


    Charmine received the dish and sampled the m


    chowder rather elegantly.


    The moment she tasted it, her taste buds were greeted


    with the fresh, perfectly seasoned vor of the ms.


    It was not oily and was utterly delectable. She could


    not believe that Anthony—the big-shot ‘macho’ man—


    could make such a great dish. 2


    Tiffany watched as Charmine enjoyed the dish, and


    she wallowed in jealousy. The m chowder doubled


    as a p in the face for Tiffany, and she refrained


    from letting the anger and embarrassment show on


    her face. “Charmine, my sister, did you just ept


    food from a stranger without first checking their


    identity?” she asked in an attempt to mask her


    emotions. “You must know that all men have evil


    intentions.


    “epting his food means that you ept his


    courtship. From now on, you won’t be able to get rid


    of him. If you really wanted to eat something, you


    could have Veronica or Ronnie get it for you. No


    matter what you want to eat, they’ll be able to buy it


    for you. Why did you have to ept food from a


    stranger?” Tiffany’s words seem to carry the tone of


    an elder sister trying to look out for her younger


    sibling; it was filled with care and concern. 2


    Charmine then bitterly smirked at Tiffany as she


    replied, “Oh, really? Can they really get me anything


    that I want to eat? In that case, can you get them to


    buy me an ice cream from La Dolce?”


    The concern on Tiffany’s face instantly disappeared.


    La Dolce was an inte sensation and a famous


    restaurant in Burlington city. The people queuing at


    the restaurant could be as much as a few hundred


    each day. People would have to queue at least a


    couple of hours to even buy a n ice cream.


    When Tiffany did not reply right away, Charmine


    cocked her brows and added, ” Why aren’t you


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    speaking? You seemed really serious when you spoke


    before. Unless… You only said all those things for the


    people around us to hear?” 1


    Tiffany’s face blushed into a deep shade of purple as


    she felt the questioning gazes from the onlookers. She


    focused on keeping her calm and smiled weakly. “Of


    course not! Since that’s what my sister wants to eat,


    I’ll make sure you get it. Ronnie, what are you waiting


    for? Hurry up and get it.”


    “Yes, Miss.” Little Ronnie, who was in the middle of


    massaging Tiffany’s shoulders, pursed her lips and


    left swiftly.


    `It’s a scorching hot day. They must’ve wanted me


    dead by standing in a queue for several hours. This


    cunning Charmine is too good at ruining people’s


    lives,’ Ronnie fumed to herself. 1


    ???


    After Ronnie left, Tiffany thought about business and


    turned around to face Charmine again to say, “Sister


    Charmine, since you’ve eaten the m chowder,


    wouldn’t it be better for you to ask about this


    chairman’s background and credentials? You should


    express your gratitude, at the very least. It’s only


    proper t o do so.” This mysterious chairman had


    already helped Charmine avoid humiliation twice


    now. She needed to figure out who this person was!


    Charmine’s lips curled into an attractive smile. “If it


    were you, you’d definitely need t o thank him. For me,


    however, there’s no such need…” Charmine’s gaze


    voice, ” After all, he’s the assistant of Prince Simon


    Gray. As Prince Simon Gray is my subordinate, I don’t


    need to thank the subordinate of my subordinate.”


    Her tone was haughty and arrogant.


    Charmine was lying, but she did it for Anthony’s sake.


    If Tiffany discovered it was him all along, she would


    definitelytch onto him and never let him go.


    Tiffany’s gaze turned icy as she turned to look at the


    assistant with an incredulous expression. “You’re


    Prince Simon Gray’s assistant?”
