chapter 576


    ''There''s no hurry; we can eat slowly. It doesn''t matter if we finishte."


    After all, they would not be able to meet for the next ten days after this meal. He would rather the time stopped at this second forever. 1


    Seeing through his intention, Charmine took the fork from him and forked herself another piece of fruit. She did not want to spend too much


    time on this meal. The longer it was, the harder it would be to part with him. She would rather get it over with quickly. 2

    With that in mind, Charmine ate much faster.


    Anthony looked at her and frowned.


    Was she that impatient to part with him?


    He lost his appetite at the thought.


    Charmine eventually finished the fruit pieces on her te, but when she looked up, she noticed that the food on Anthony''s te did not


    decrease at all.


    The untouched beef steak seemed to stare Charmine in the face as though it could have said, "If this meal is unfinished, does that mean


    we''d never have to part?"


    Anthony''s gaze never wavered from Charmine, his gaze darkening as he did. 4


    Charmine’s once rxed mood was instantly affected by his behavior.


    Charmine frowned. "You''re a man, Anthony. Can''t you make less of a fuss? It’s merely ten days, and


    it’s not like one of US is dying." 1


    "Ten days, 240 hours, 14400 minutes, 864000 seconds. Does that sound easy to you?" Anthony red


    at her, his tone sounded unpleasant. 1


    Anthony''s behavior baffled Charmine.


    Why would he be so serious about it?


    If she did nothing about it, this could go on and on...


    "Don''t speak anymore, just eat," asserted Charmine. "I''ll allow you to send me back to Jordan Group


    with a surprise."


    A surprise?


    Anthony looked at her. She did not look like she was lying, thus he regained his appetite again.


    They both left the restaurant after they were done with their meal. 1


    The usually swift and sharp Anthony walked significantly slower than usual, seemingly far less efficient


    than his usual self. 1


    Charmine was dumbfounded when she noticed that. After getting in the car, she nced at the


    speedometer-merely 20 kilometers per hour...


    Was Anthony actually driving the luxurious car like it was some mundane, run-of-the-mill car?


    If it was not for the obvious car te that nobody dared to offend, the sound of horning would have


    bombarded the entire road.


    Charmine did not speak; she allowed Anthony to do what he was doing.


    However long he was taking, the car would eventually stop below the tree outside the Jordan Group


    building.


    The windows were down, and nobody could see through from the outside asthe windows were tinted. 1


    Charmine unfastened her seatbelt.


    Anthony looked at her. "Where''s the surprise?"


    Was she leaving just like that?


    Suddenly, Charmine got up and leaned toward him. She hooked her arm around Anthony''s neck and lowered her head to kiss his lips.


    Anthony''s body jolted slightly. His mind went nk.


    Was this real? Had she just kissed him on her own volition?


    The kiss was deeper than usual... She seemed serious and emotional. 1


    She did not know if they would meet again in ten days. She did not know if she could get back to him. She did not know if Anthony would fall


    for Annabel in the following ten days.


    This might very well be theirst intimate interaction.


    Thinking of that, her lips roved his.


    Anthony, overwhelmed by Charmine''s forceful, passionate kiss, allowed her to do as she pleased.


    After nking out for a moment, he suddenly lowered down his driver''s seat.
