Chapter 277


    Charmine raised her fist, ready to throw her punch, but Anthony caught her tiny fist as he growled, “I’m


    examining you, so don’t move!”


    Examine? What?


    Charmine was confused, but Anthony remained focused as he gently applied pressure on her thighs,


    down to her knees, then her legs.


    After checking both her feet professionally, his tight brows slowly rxed. “You’re fine this time, but


    never do something like that again!”


    Charmine frowned in confusion, and it took her some time before she understood what happened.


    Anthony must have seen the clip of her jumping from the building. He must have been worried about


    her getting injured, hence why he examined her body…


    At that moment, Charmine felt warmth that spread from her chest as an unfamiliar emotion bloomed in


    her heart. The seemingly cold-hearted Anthony was so gentle on her, yet he was s o cold toward


    McKenzie just moments ago. If this went on, things might get out of hand, and she might not be able to


    control herself anymore…


    Charmine feebly looked up at him. “Anthony, the person you should treasure is McKenzie, not me.


    Didn’t you always want to know what happened to me five years ago? I should have told you in the


    afternoon, so listen.”


    She took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes. “Five years ago, Tiffany bribed someone to


    ra_?


    Before she could finish, Anthony’s body suddenlyunched toward her. He pressed his arms o n her


    sides as he sternlymanded, “Stop!”


    Anthony knew, even when she had yet to finish that sentence. He knew what it was, and it was just like


    what he spectedst night.


    Charmine had been…


    The woman that he dared not to touch, the woman he put on a high pedestal, was touched by another


    man! His being emitted a cold, ominous intent as though he was the king from hell.


    With just a breath away from him, Charmine could clearly feel his rage. rmed, she looked at him.


    “You may let me go now and terminate our three-month contract as of now.”


    “Who said I’m letting you go?” Anthony red at her with an incredibly hardened expression.


    Charmine frowned. He knew of the truth, but why was he not letting her go? What else did he want?


    “Does Mr. Bailey wants to be like the male lead of a romance film, pulling the childish act of not looking


    down on the female lead?” said Charmine, her wordsced with sarcasm.


    To her, men who did not look down on women like her, those who tried to pull out all the stops to be


    with women like herself, were asking for troubles themselves! If she was him, she would never choose


    a partner who could bring her so much trouble.


    “You’re right,” came Anthony’s simple reply.


    She was right…?


    Was he saying that he really did not look down on her? A man above her status-wise like him really did


    not judge her by her past?


    Seeing that she was confused, Anthony huskily spoke, “It seems that I’ll need to convince you for that.”


    Suddenly lowering his body, Anthony pressed her onto the table and kissed her square on the

    lips.


    Charmine’s mind went nk, and her entire being was in shock.


    Anthony just kissed her… He kissed her…


    That was her first kiss when disregarding the incident from five years ago!


    She instinctively tried to fight back. She tried to push him away, but Anthony’s muscr body was so


    heavy that he did not even budge.


    Initially, Anthony only wanted to prove to her with just an innocent kiss, but he never expected that this


    long-overdue kiss was like the fog in a drought that ignited his body.


    Also, a strange and familiar sensation overwhelmed his senses, just like that beautiful night five years


    ago, losing all of one’s self-restraint.
