chapter 1642


    Charmine was at a loss for words at the sight.


    She acted as if she did not see Anthony and, instead, walked away with Chris, all while Anthony


    helplessly watched.


    Did she hate him that much?


    His expression grew dark as he instructed Luke, "Go and help out over there." "Huh?" Luke spotted a


    group of women and repeated, ''There?"


    Anthony looked up to meet his eyes, snapping, "Where else? You have a problem?"


    Luke broke out into cold sweats.


    He recalled what happened yesterday, how Charmine found out he did the chores, and Luke dared not


    offend Anthony again. Left with no choice, he could only walk over to the group of women, causing him


    to be the center of attention as they-charmed by this handsome young man-bombarded him with lots of


    questions, i


    Luke was speechless.


    The straight-faced Anthony, meanwhile, sat on the seat allocated to him by the vige chief. Looking at


    the empty seat next to him, his heart sank.


    He had lost her...


    When would he get her back?


    Anthony leaned on the chair and lit up a cigarette. Through the smoke, a pair of eyes pierced through


    the crowd and were fixed on Charmine''s back.


    Meanwhile...


    Zoe, who was among the crowd, followed Anthony’s gaze that pointed to Charmine.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    D*mn that woman.


    Just because she had money, she stole the spotlight from her!


    She was the goddess around here before Charmine came, but once she did, Zoe became a nobody.


    What made it worse was after Charmine humiliated her in front of so many people the other day.


    Everyone''s gossip was about Zoe.


    Most frustrating of all was that there was finally a handsome boss in her vige. It had always been her


    dream to marry rich...but he had his eyes on Charmine?!


    What was so good about this arrogant woman?


    Why? Why did Charmine steal everything from her!?


    Zoe clenched her fists angrily, her veins protruding and her knuckles clicking in the process.


    She stared at how the vige chief and the crowd surrounded Charmine, asking her a question or two.


    Zoe''s gaze grew dark with menace. Then...


    An idea greeted Zoe, and her lips curled up darkly at the idea.


    She had a proud face as she walked to the side to bring out the gift she had prepared for the vige


    chief.


    The gift was nicely wrapped. Nobody knew what was inside, and she nned to give it to the vige


    chief when everyone was here.


    This way, everyone could see her unique craft, and everyone would look up to her!


    Zoe could no longer wait.


    Furthermore, Charmine was getting too much attention. Almost everyone was looking at Charmine.


    When she showed her gift, everyone would see it and Charmine would be embarrassed. 1


    Charmine would have nothing topete with her! Hmph!


    Holding her gift, Zoe walked up proudly to the vige chief, nose seemingly pointed to the sky. "Happy


    birthday, vige chief," she greeted and handed the gift.


    The vige chief smiled and epted it. "Thank you, Zoe. How sweet of you."


    The vige chief was in the middle of convincing Charmine to do some joint activity with Anthony, not


    intending to open the gift right away.


    Zoe grew anxious.


    She had an awkward smile on her face as she added, "Vige chief, why don’t you open it? If you don''t


    like it, I can make some alterations."


    When everyone heard it, they could not help turning to look at the wellwrapped gift.


    What could it be that Zoe could even alter it? Everyone instantly turned to look at it.
