chapter 1465


    "Nothing." Charmine drank the water from the bottle, saying nothing else.


    Maurice recalled the look on her face when they first met, and it clicked for him. "Don''t worry." He


    smiled gently. "Don''t trouble yourself over it."


    It was then the director called out excitedly, "We''ll go to the Red Cafe for lunch. I''ve already made the


    reservation, and everyone''s invited. None of you can go missing!"


    Charmine looked at Maurice and bade, "See youter."


    Maurice''s lips parted as he wanted to speak more, but Charmine had already left. He gazed at her


    gently before retreating to his hotel room.


    Charmine went to her car and said to Eric, "I''m not going to the lunch gathering; I can''t be bothered to


    socialize. I''m getting some rest at the hotel." "Okay."


    Eric thus sent her to the hotel.


    As Charmine had been busy throughout the afternoon, she was already tired and fell asleep a few


    minutes after getting in bed.


    Eric left her room and went to the room next door for an afternoon nap.


    After half an hour of napping, Charmine was startled awake by a nightmare.


    It was of Anthony in a bed, his face pale as he...moaned in pain?


    The pale Charmine looked around before sighing in relief. Thankfully, it was just a dream. She seemed


    more relieved.


    It was good enough for her if he lived on well, even if she was no longer part of his life.


    It was then Charmine seemed to have sensed what she was feeling. She snapped out of it and smiled


    ironically.


    Anthony no longer wanted her, yet she stooped so low for him?


    She went into the bathroom to wash her face and realized she was hungry.


    Charmine looked at the time and noticed that it was an hour before she had to work. She would get a


    simple bite outside, then.


    Little did she know...


    The lift stopped on the floor below hers and opened, revealing Maurice standing outside.


    The two of them looked at one another in surprise.


    Maurice walked in and asked gently, "Didn’t you attend the gathering, Ms. Jordan?" "No,” replied


    Charmine, "I don’t like crowded ces.” "We''re quite alike, you and I," remarked Maurice.


    Charmine looked at him and thought of how he took care of her. "Have you eaten? Why don''t I treat


    you to a meal?" she offered.


    Maurice took her up on her offer. "Okay."


    Thus, both of them headed down and picked a restaurant next to the hotel.


    Meanwhile, everyone in the gathering was shocked.


    Both the male and female leads did not show up!


    This was the first time that such a thing had happened. The director even asked his men to invite them


    over!


    Not long after, the men made a shocking revtion that the two enjoyed their lunch in a nice


    restaurant. He thus returned to tell the director about this.


    The director narrowed his eyes and asked, "Since when have they gotten so close?"

    ording to what he knew, the two of them had never worked together before.


    Instantly, the director smacked his thigh and excitedly eximed, "Have the reporters take photos of


    them, and post them online!"


    The audience loved rumors outside shows. If they saw how close the two were, this would attract more


    attention!


    He did not even have to buy poprity. With Charmine''s fame, these photos would surely trend!


    He could even save on marketing and promotion costs!
