She wanted to look down and see what it was, but when she subconsciously felt that it was Anthony’s leg, her body stiffened.
''This is the conference room with hundreds of people sitting behind US, yet Anthony''s so close and even rubbed his leg against me! Oh, the
chaos if anyone found out..!’
She swung her knees slightly, signaling for him to remove his leg, but Anthony shook his leg too as if he was answering to her. 3
That felt so flirtatious to Charmine at that split second, and Charmine felt her face warming.
''This man really can''t behave himself. How dare he tease me with so many people around?!''
Fortunately, the conference table was a very long wooden table, and with a piece of solid wood board in front, others would not know what
went down below the table.
Charmine anxiously prayed, ''Please, don’t let anyone know. Please don''t let anyone find out...!''
Not long after, the conference began.
"Wee, everyone, to Burlington’s business conference in the year 2020!"
Even as the master of the ceremony extended a long paragraph, the representatives from Kansas
showed no reaction. It was as if they were not satisfied with the uses.
At that moment, the person in charge from Burlington announced, "A round of apuse as we
wee Mr. Bailey and Ms. D''Cruz toe up the stage for a speech."
Everyone''s attention zeroed in on Anthony and Waverly.
At that split second, Anthony retrieved his long leg that leaned against
Charmine. He got up and walked up the stage with a prestigious stance.
Waverly followed closely behind, elegant as ever.
Anthony faced the crowd below the stage, and when his gazended on Charmine, he felt a sense of
unwillingness deep within him.
Still, as he thought of the public and the arrangements needed during these ten days, he ended up
opening his thin lips and said, ''Ten days from now, Ms. D''Cruz and I will be engaged."
Hisment was meaningful and influential.
As soon as he blurted thement, a round of apuse came down like thunder throughout the hall.
Everyone pped. Some were those who expressed their blessings to Anthony, while others
apuded as their eventual diplomatic wedding would liven up business rtions between Kansas and
Burlington.
Indeed, the representatives of Kansas exchanged nces with one another as their eyes gleamed with
satisfaction.
Initially, they thought that Anthony and Waverly''s issue was just a work of the media. However, from the
looks of it, it seemed to be real.
The D''Cruz family was a symbol of royalty in Kansas, and ording to ancient texts, they truly were simr to such status.
As Anthony grasped the authority of Burlington''s finance, it would be an alliance between two powerful organizations when both Anthony and
Waverly were united in a diplomatic marriage.
The scene was filled with apuse of sincere celebration as camera shutters flickered incessantly.
Charmine witnessed as the pair stood on the stage, not having any other choice but to join the crowd as she pped. She had to p as her
man was together with anotherdy...
She tried to fight the gnawing feeling.
''Bear with it... Just bear with it...''
Once they could relocate Chris and Annabel somece else and they were secure in a foolproof n, she could then reveal her rtionship
with Anthony to the public without worrying about anything... 3
Meanwhile, Max eyed Charmine, gaze filled with provocation as if he telepathically sneered, ''You can keep up that arrogant act, Charmine,
but your man will still leave you in the end! At the end of the day, you''ll only be apuding them!''
Max thought Charmine would be heartbroken, shameful, and utterly sad, yet he did not expect...
Charmine met his gaze just as intensely as she brushed her long hair to the back, which was utterly gorgeous that she was showing her
alluringness. Hair pulled back, Charmine''s earrings were exposed.
