chapter 1909
"Why isn''t Charmine doing anything?" "What else can it be? She obviously doesn''t know howto
assemble them!" "Charmine is definitely losing! Even if she knows something, her device won''t perform
better than Ms. McKenzie''s!" "Right, and Ms. McKenzie is a tech-mogul, after all: the founder of the
bestselling phones in Burlington!" "Her phonepany has a market share of sixty percent! She can
beat Charmine any second!" "Knowingnguages is nothing; technology is the real deal." "Charmine
doesn''t know anything about technology. How dare she challenge Ms. McKenzie? She even said that
she was going to win? How ignorant!"
Jeers and mockingughter were heard across the venue.
All the while, Charmine merely changed a hand to lean on. She remained calm as she stared at the
items before her. Her behavior elicited stronger rebukes and ridicules aimed at her.
"Look at Charmine''s confused look! Sigh! Listen to me, Charmine: If you''re sleepy, go home and sleep.
Don''t embarrass yourself here!" "If I were her, I would’ve drilled a hole for myself to get into!" "I feel
embarrassed for her family!”
Senior Jordan and the rest stood by the side. They started to look nervous when they noticed
Charmine still had not started assembling anything.
What was Charmine doing?
ording to what they knew, she knew how to assemble a phone, but why was she not moving?
Nial was starting to look uneasy.
What was Charmine nning? She would run out of time if she did nothing.
20 minutes had passed, and there were ten minutes left!
Argh! He betted money on her!
Anthony remained the calmest out of everyone. He looked at Charmine quietly with adoration lighting
his eyes.

His tiny wife was up to no good, yet again. 1
The attendees began to get rowdy in their speech once more.
"Hey, Charmine! If you don’t know how to assemble a phone, just get off the stage!" "Yeah, just admit
your defeat if you don''t know how! Why pretend? You even asked for apetition! Now, it’s nothing
and a waste of our time!"
McKenzie smirked at these pointed remarks that were aimed at Charmine.
She almost finished assembling her phone, too!
Her elegant face looked at Charmine as she scoffed, "If you don''t know how to do this, you can admit
defeat!’
Finally...
When Charmine heard this, she looked up to meet McKenzie''s gaze." Time''s up."
McKenzie paused at this. "What do you mean?”
Did they not have ten minutes left?
The crowd began jeering at Charmine for her sudden remark.
"Charmine, are you being silly right now? Are you so under pressure that you''re starting to talk
nonsense?" "I know, right? They have ten minutes more, so what does she mean,'' time''s up''? I think
it’s time for her to admit her defeat!" "Hahahaha!"
The crowd burst into jeers andughter.
Charmine red at McKenzie, her lips painted with red lipstick smirking as she did. "The extra time I
gave you is now up!" she remarked boldly and arrogantly.
She then lifted her hand and started to pour out the items. Her movement was swift and professional.
An uproar ensued after Charmine''s wittyment, and the attendees could hardly register her words.
"What? Did I hear her correctly? What did she say?" "She gave Ms. McKenzie twenty minutes of extra
time?" "She didn''t move earlier because she was giving her extra time!?" "What? How could she be so
capable?" "McKenzie needed half an hour to assemble it, but she can do it in ten minutes?" "Hahaha!
What a joke! She’s lying without even thinking of the repercussions!" "Aagh! My stomach hurts from
laughing too much!"
McKenzie’s lips twitched. She never liked Charmine, but hearing how haughty she was, she could not
hide the anger in her eyes.
Charmine was merely a woman who spoke and acted arrogantly. Why would Anthony like her?
However...
