chapter 1222


    Seeing the anger in Anthony''s eyes, Charmine decided to drop the discussion.


    "Alright, I''m hungry. Let''s go and eat."


    Anthony was reminded of the candlelight dinner she mentioned, and his expression grew brighter.


    "Have you decided which restaurant to go to?" "Not yet."


    Charmine turned to look at him and smiled. "You pick-you get to decide today."


    Her clear voice had her own unique sense of maturity.


    All of Anthony’s anger vanished.


    He knew her well, and he knew there was nothing to hold against her.


    His eyes were filled with adoration. "Let''s go to XH Restaurant, shall we?" "Okay," Charmine agreed.


    The two of them walked out of the vi, but just as they almost got in the car, Luke walked toward them


    urgently.


    "We''ve got a problem, Boss. The Association suddenly contacted us, saying they want you to host an


    Olympic Banquet in ten days."


    Anthony frowned. "An Olympic Banquet?" "Yes. When all thepetitions have finished in ten days,


    they want to host a banquet for all the visitors. There are many countries involved, and this is a big


    event. The Association is worried about making any mistake, so they asked you for help," exined


    Luke, i


    Anthony frowned.


    If he epted this, he would not be able to stay with Charmine in the following days.


    Just as he debated on the matter internally, Kay suddenly rushed toward them and spoke to Charmine,


    "Boss Jordan, it''s bad! The representatives of Burlington and Kansas were talking and drinkingst


    night, and they got triggered. The Association ced a bet against Kansas, iming that Burlington will


    win the first prize in the Olympics. Otherwise, we''ll have to pay a hundred million dors to Kansas!" 1


    A hundred million dors!


    Good god! A hefty bet, indeed! 1


    Kay continued, "The final stage of the talentpetition will happen during the banquet in ten days as


    entertainment for the banquet! The Association is worried, and they think you have a way to win this, so


    they want you to participate!"


    Charmine frowned.


    The Association had been nice to the Jordan family, thus she must not abandon them in such a


    situation.

    After a moment of hesitation, she agreed, "Okay, I''ll take part."


    Kay let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, Boss Jordan. I’ll pass this good news to the Association." "Okay."


    After Kay left, Charmine looked back to realize Anthony staring at her coldly. His face was stern.


    She asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Was he jealous of her talking to Kay?


    "You can''t go," spoke Anthony.


    "Why not?” questioned Charmine. "A hundred million dors is a big bet. If Burlington loses, we''ll be


    laughed at!”


    This was not a personal contest; this was a contest between countries.


    She would not permit any mistake!


    Anthony''s dark gaze had a new hint of worry as he looked at her. "You''re not concerned about having a


    migraine during the contest?"


    If any ident happened, she would be the joke!


    Charmine said calmly, "Everything will be alright with the needle. I''ll go on stage after the migraine."


    Anthony''s eyes turned darker. A few secondster, he insisted, "No."


    He would not permit any ident to ur to her.


    Charmine halted. She looked at him suspiciously.


    She could simply go on stage after the migraine. What was wrong with that?


    Charmine eyed his stubborn expression as she asked a few secondster," Anthony, do you want me


    to stay by your side? I might lose myself if things go on like this."


    She could feel him growing overprotected over her, and she felt like she was slowly losing herself...
