Chapter 109
After she had finished eating, Charmine was dragged by Christ o the sofa to rest. It was not long before
Chris fell asleep lying o n herp. His little chubby body was like a tiny kitten. Charmine softly stroked
his hair as she turned her eyes toward the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Anthony had on a gray apron and was in the middle of doing the dishes. Dressed in a
suit and tie, he lookedpletely out of ce in the kitchen, his movements unnatural. The heavy rain
had stopped and a beam of sunlight shone through from behind the clouds. By coincidence, the ,
sunlightnded on Anthony, illuminating his tall and well built physique and making it look as though he
was ted in gold. He looked extraordinarily handsome.
Charmine was engrossed by the scene that her hand stroking Chris started to slow down. She could
not pinpoint when it began, but her life had be more lively ever since these two had entered it.
The days toe without them… Sigh, what was she thinking? A future without them would be the
same as right now. She was not ‘with’ them, they were only here to sign a contract with her.
The rain had stopped so they should leave. Charmine turned away and slowly shut her eyes, trying to
gather up her unwanted thoughts. At that moment, Anthony walked into the room. He had already
removed the apron and now looked as he
usually did with his coolposure. Without looking at him, Charmine said in a direct manner, “Here,
carry Chris. You can bring him home now.”
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid we can’t leave today,” Anthony responded. He sat down next to her on the sofa
and casually draped his arm over her shoulder.
“Why not?” Charmine asked with a scowl. What excuse had Anthonye up with now to stick to her?
Anthony replied humorlessly, “Did you read the terms of the agreement when you signed the contract?”

“Of course I did,” she retorted. Charmine, aware of her role, had a sharp eye and could read through
contracts critically and with great detail. No one had ever been able to trap her because of that.
Furthermore, the contract she signed was between her and the Bailey Corporation. How could there be
a contract use that would allow Anthony to stay at her house?
Anthony stared at her and asked calmly, “Can you tell me what the secondst use in the contract
states?”
Charmine thought it through before responding, “After signing the contract, Party B shall be obliged to
confirm with the person-in-charge, known as Party A, all ns rted to the auto show…” As soon as
she reached that part of the use, she stopped and frowned, “You’re the person-in charge?”
“Yes.” He said that one word in all seriousness. Charmine felt like she had been trapped for the first
time. She could have never imagined that Anthony Bailey, the lofty head of a big corporation, would
personally manage a small fry like her. She copsed onto the sofa and said, “Go ahead, what ns do
we need to confirm?”
“Hmm…” Anthony looked deep in thought for a moment before saying, “As the person-in-charge, I
need to ensure that your catwalk is up to scratch. Imagine you’re on the runway now and show me your
catwalk.”
“Anthony! Do you have a death wish?” Charmine red at him.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
Chris responded with a straight face, “What’s the problem? Practicing ahead of time is standard
protocol.” ,
“Huh, are you sure about that?” she said while narrowing her eyes at him, a sharp gleam shing
through them. Even if that was standard protocol, Anthony’s motives were definitely not!
As calm as ever, Anthony replied, “We can leave the catwalk for now. In that case, why don’t you show
us a pose?”
“Get! Out! Get out immediately! I want you gone within three minutes!” Charmine picked Chris up and
stuffed him into Anthony’s arms. She stood up and swiftly walked upstairs. This man was messing with
her while wearing a straight face! She had no time for this nonsense!
