Chapter 89


    Anthony stepped forward. “I just happened t o be passing by. I can help drop you off if you need since


    it’s along the way,” he said in a rich and jovial voice while holding the door open for her.


    Charmine immediately frowned and mentioned, “If I remember correctly, you’re staying at The Pce


    Heart, am I right? I’m staying at the Violet Vi which is a few kilometers away from you. How exactly


    would my ce be along the way?”


    While hearing her question, Anthony teased, “You know where I’m staying. It seems like you are


    interested in me and did your research thoroughly.”


    “Tsk! You’re overthinking it.” While rolling her eyes at him, Charmine continued, ” You’re Burlington’s


    Prince. Everyone knows you live in thatnd of gold. People talk about you no matter where you go.”


    Anthony was dismayed. He would have to pay attention to his reputation so that she would not hear


    anything unsavory about him.


    “I’ll be passing by. Plus, you made a promise with Momo this afternoon, right? Therefore, we’re still


    friends.” He then bowed slightly in a gentlemanly manner before ushering her into his car.


    She was reluctant to ept the ride but was aware that she came here with Shane’s Ferrari. Shane


    was supposed to be on a date with Mingail now. Charmine was in a dilemma about what to do.


    Eventually, she got into the passenger seat. Anthony was over the moon as things were going his way.

    The deste streets of the city rested in silence as the starry ck sky wept over them. The car moved


    under the glow of the bright yellow streetmps.


    On their way to Violet Vi, Anthony could not help but gaze at Charmine. As the silvery -white


    moonlight rested upon them, the ne resting on her corbones could be seen so clearly. Her


    beauty almost took his breath away. He thought she would have taken it off but to his surprise, she still


    had it on her neck.


    He wanted to chat with her but noticed she had immediately dozed off. She must have been


    exhausted.


    Laying on her side, she curled up on the seat. Her sleeping posture showed how uneasy she felt.


    She might look remorseless during the day but deep inside, he knew she was quite the insecure


    person.


    Anthony’s heart ached a little for her. He reclined the seat so that Charmine could rest well.


    He slowed down his car, hoping that the smooth drive would allow her to rest well.


    It would usually be a half an hour drive but it now took an hour.


    The car stopped by the Violet Vi’s basement parking lot.


    After turning off the engine, he decided not t o wake her up. Instead, he covered her with a nket.


    Charmine was startled awake, a vignt look in her eyes. She immediately grabbed Anthony’s wrist in


    an attempt to disarm him. Her hand was soft and slender.


    “Don’t worry, it’s me,” said Anthony.


    Charmine’s cold-eyed stare immediately faded after realizing it was Anthony. However, she remained


    apathetic toward him.


    “Thanks for the ride.” Charmine lifted the nket and sat up.


    “Do you want to invite me inside…” Bang! She mmed the door shut before he ended


    his sentence. Charmine got out from the car and left.
