Chapter 318


    Rain swiftly followed the thunder that rumbled in the sky,


    The gates of the stratosphere opened and allowed the rain to fall. It turned into a downpour as water


    quickly pooled on the ground.


    The unexpected rainstorm drenched both Charmine and Anthony, and Anthony-cing the


    conversation he had with her aside-quickly opened the door to the car for Charmine and said, “Get it!” 2


    Charmine jumped into the car swiftly, though the rain was so heavy that she was drenched from head


    to toe. Anthony, who came into the car after her, was even more drenched as beads of water dripped


    from his head.


    Charmine took some tissue and wiped her face before she handed some to Anthony.


    Anthony epted them and cleaned himself quickly before he drove away, headed for the mansion.


    Charmine could have gotten sick with all that rainwater on her.


    The car drove in the dark and rainy night as bullets of rainwater sttered against the car windows. It


    was loud and deafening.


    Charmine looked out of the window as her brows tightened. The downpour reminded her of the night


    when she was sent to the airport five years ago. The rain was just as powerful, and she had just given


    birth to the dead baby, listless and powerless. Nobody cared for her, and everyone wanted her out of


    sight, sent to Africa as soon as possible. 1


    Everything had changed since five years ago.


    Her mind then wandered. What rights did Charmine have to feel ufortable about Anthony? At


    least h e had done it with his ex-girlfriend, while she…


    Not only was she forcibly deflowered, but she even gave birth…


    Suddenly, a loud sound brought her back to reality.


    Hiss!


    The car stopped as a guttural hissing sound was heard,


    Anthony frowned. “It’s flooding. Stay here, and don’t move.”


    Anthony opened the door to get out of the car but was met with water gushing into his car and


    effectively flooded the insides.


    Anthony made his way to her side, opened the door for Charmine, and carried her in his strong arms


    out o f the car before she could even react. Even with Anthony’s height, the water level was up to his


    waist. His muscr arms raised her up as high as possible as he tried to keep her far above the water


    surface. Charmine could not even see his legs; it seemed as if they were both inside the river.


    Anthony’s eyes spotted the Royal Banquet Bar not far away, thus Anthony then said, “We’ll get a room


    for tonight.”


    It was not a question; it was a statement.


    Charmine’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that line, get a room’. Getting a room with him at


    such ate hour at night? While they had slept on the same bed, it would not b e a hassle if they had


    two rooms…


    However…


    Charmine looked around and noted that no other hotels were around them except Royal Banquet Bar,


    and Charmine instantly recalled how Tiffany-in that incident from five years ago-asked her to go to


    Royal Banquet Bar. She remembered that there was no room in there.

    “The hotel closest to here is the Phoenix Hotel,” said Charmine, “but it’ll take a while to get there.”


    “Don’t worry, there’s a room in there,” assured Anthony as he carried her in his arms and made his way


    to Royal Banquet Bar.


    The Royal Banquet Bar was the biggest karaoke and bar in Burlington, with 19 floors in total!


    As they entered, the receptionist instantly spotted them as her eyes nearly popped out of her socket in


    disbelief.


    Boss Bailey, at such ate hour of the night! It was Boss Bailey, in the flesh! Also, there was a woman


    in his arms!


    Charmine frowned. If they were to be found together, she would make the headlines again! Swiftly, she


    turned her face away and buried her face deep into Anthony’s chest.
