chapter 1162


    Sure, Anthony had been sweet to her before, but it baffled her how she still got flustered-face burning,


    heart racing-every time.


    She was a powerful woman, but in front of Anthony, she was merely a white rabbit...


    One thatcked social and emotional experience.


    She instantly felt small and insignificant as she gazed at him before her.


    Anthony suddenly lowered his head and closed their distance, causing her heart rate to quicken as she


    closed her eyes shut.


    Just as she did...


    Ring! Ring!


    Anthony''s phone rang urgently.


    Charmine snapped back to reality. Gosh! What was that?


    Was she quietly waiting for him to kiss her?


    TILgo and freshen up," she blurted in a panic before she booked it toward the bathroom.


    Anthony then took out his phone, face turning cold when he saw the name '' Nial''.


    Once he epted the call, Nial-who was calling from theboratory with dark eyebags-gushed, "Bro!


    We''ve seeded! Both experiments were sessful!"


    He was fishing for apliment but was sadly met with Anthony’s cold," Okay, good job. Be ready to


    meet some dates."


    With that said, he hung up right away.


    Nial wanted to cry.


    Gosh! What had he done wrong?


    He worked so hard on this experiment and worked on two projects at once. He even invited more than


    ten scientists to get involved!


    All he got from this was some dates he did not fancy? How heartless!


    Meanwhile, in the bathroom...


    Charmine sshed her face with cold water, but when she rose to face herself in the mirror, she was


    shocked.


    Ever since her return to Burlington, she had put on heavy makeup every day to make herself seem


    more powerful and arrogant. She did all these so that others would not bully or try to frame her.


    She always thought of herself as powerful, but who was that woman in the mirror?


    Her hair was let loose and slightly damp, her skin pale like a porcin doll.


    More importantly, she barely had any makeup on throughout the days she stayed at home, save only


    lipstick to brighten up her look.


    Someone wiped it off of her when she sleptst night, however, and she looked like a in, white doll.


    She was like a fresh graduate who was blushing because of a guy.


    Even Charmine did not recognize herself.


    Suddenly, knocks were heard from outside.


    "Charmine, do you need any help?" Anthony''s low voice was heard.


    Charmine jumped. Would she need help to freshen up?


    To help her get the toothbrush? To wipe her body?


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    She had goosebumps all over at the thought as she quickly declined, "No need, I''m almost done."


    Charmine quickly freshened up and took a hot shower before going out. 1


    Anthony was already standing in the dressing room when she got out." Come here, Charmine," he


    beckoned to her with a hairdryer at hand.


    The usually powerful Anthony was in his white shirt, looking just like a gentle prince.


    Charmine hesitated for a moment before walking over.


    ''TH do it myself. Don’t treat me as if I''m disabled." "Don''t speak of nonsense." Anthony gave her a look


    and sat her down.


    "If you marry the right person, you''ll always be a spoiled princess," he ended before he turned on the


    hairdryer and dried her hair for her. 1 His words resounded in her ears.
