    At this moment, Le was extremely nervous. Deep down, she was worried that Charles would reject


    her once again. After gathering some courage, she had made up her mind to voice her desire. Also,

    she realized that she couldn''t always let her fear stop her.


    Charles was dealing with some paperwork. When he heard what Le said, he knitted his eyebrows


    slightly. After a while, he replied, "I''ve got it. You can go first. I''ll go thereter."


    "Char... Mr. Lu, let''s go together. I want to buy a present for Aunt Melissa. After all, I''ve noticed that


    she''s looking a lot happier for the first time in a long while. Don''t disappoint her," Le said in an


    aggressive tone.


    Irritated by Holley, Le was anxious to achieve quick sess today. She wanted to stay with Charles.


    She wouldn''t let him go, no matter what.


    A trace of irritation crossed Charles'' eyes. He put the pen down and said coldly, "Okay. We will do that,


    but wait for me outside."


    "Okay then!" Le smiled when she heard that Charles had finally agreed. She cast a gentle look at


    Charles before she walked out of the office.


    Outside, she patiently waited for him. It took him several minutes to wrap up his work. When she saw


    Charles push the door open, she immediately went to meet him.


    "You must be tired," Le greeted him, making her voice seductively soft.


    Charles didn''t utter a word. He merely nodded his head and walked to the elevator.


    His actions made Le a little unhappy. But she forced herself to hide her unhappiness. Feigning a


    smile, she followed him into the elevator.


    The rest of the employees had already gotten off work. Only Le and Charles were left in the elevator.


    So, Le used this opportunity to act recklessly.


    While Charles was immersed in his thoughts, she took this opportunity to pull his arm. "Charles, I''m


    going to buy Aunt Melissa some clothes. How about something from thetest collection of Channel?


    It''s the global limited edition and can only be bought in the boutique that is located in the West City. I''ve


    told the sales..."


    Charles suddenly turned to look at Le, his eyes full of displeasure.


    Le suddenly realized that he had be displeased, so she let go of his arm. With an embarrassed


    smile, she asked, "Charles, will you apany me?"


    "Did you drive to thepany today?" Charles asked, showing no emotions.


    Le shook her head. Innocently, she bit her lips and looked at him.


    "Let''s go together. Call my mother and tell her that we''ll bete today!"


    Charles said coldly like he had no interest. He had just finished some assignments, and his mind was


    still on them.


    "Great! I''m calling her right away!"


    Charles'' indifferent expression was a stark contrast to Le''s happy face. Knowing that he would go out


    with her, she could barely contain her tion.


    At the Cloud Advertising Company, Sheryl was eyeing Phoebe.


    Sheryl had just found out that Phoebe was trying to hide something from her. This discovery was made


    when she asked her to deal with a file.


    Phoebe had never acted so carelessly before. Besides, Sheryl noticed her checking the clock on the


    wall from time to time.


    Sheryl rolled her eyes and faked a cough intentionally. She then said, "Phoebe, is there an


    emergency?"


    "What? Miss Xia, what did you say? Emergency? No. There is nothing."


    "Nothing? If that''s the case, then why do you keep ncing at the clock?" Sheryl asked teasingly.


    Phoebe felt embarrassed when she realized that Sheryl had seen it. Blushing shyly, she said, "Miss


    Xia, are you pulling my leg?"


    "I''m not." Sheryl then smiled brightly. She continued, "Since you insist that you don''t have an


    emergency to deal with, how about you deal with this file for me?"


    Although Sheryl was teasing Phoebe, she wanted to coax the truth out of her.


    Hearing this request, Phoebe looked nervous.


    Sheryl was immediately amused by Phoebe''s reaction. She burst intoughter. Once she contained


    herself, she began to probe. "Okay, Phoebe, it''s time for you toe clean. What is it? Is Sean waiting


    for you downstairs?"


    "Miss Xia, if you already knew it, then why are you teasing me?" Phoebe said as she pretended to look


    annoyed.


    "Well, I''ll stop if that annoys you. Now go and meet him!"


    Sheryl smiled as she finished. She wanted Phoebe to have a good time; hence, she urged her to go.


    After Phoebe walked out, Sheryl slipped deep into her thoughts. It had been a long time since she had


    seen someone in the Cloud Advertising Company look so happy. Now Sheryl realized she was the one


    responsible for the depressing atmosphere.


    The things between her and Charles had already made her utterly exhausted. Everyone in her


    front of her. Thest thing they wanted to do was irritate her.


    Even though they were doing this for her sake, Sheryl didn''t want that. So, she pretended that she had


    gotten over her past. It was difficult to feign a smile, but she did it to make their lives easier. Because of


    that, they felt rxed and started to smile once again.


    Previously, Phoebe had denied herself from going on a date with Sean because she worried about


    Sheryl. Knowing how much she cared for her, Sheryl decided to support her. She didn''t want to ruin


    their date.


    However, after everybody left, she couldn''t help but feel lonely. It seemed that the sorrow inside her


    heart didn''t want to let her go. No matter how hard she tried, it just wouldn''t budge. ''Sorrow is clinging


    onto me, '' she thought with a sneer.


    After taking a deep breath, she finally forced herself to go back to the office. After all, she had a lot of


    work to deal with.


    Travelling by car for about half an hour, Charles and Le finally arrived in West City. They hadn''t


    spoken a word inside the car.


    Now they had arrived at the Channel boutique. There was only one Channel in West City and just one


    coat which Le was aiming for. As soon as she was inside, she caught hold of it. Immediately, she


    turned to Charles and cheerfully asked, "Charles, this is what I was talking about! How is it?"


    Charles slightly lifted his eyes to look at the coat and nodded his head. Nothing could induce him to


    look happy. His cold expression remained fixed.


    Right at this moment, Phoebe and Sean walked up from the cash register. Phoebe''s eyes brightened


    when she saw the coat in Le''s hands.


    In fact, Phoebe had already taken a fancy to this coat and came to buy it. After she paid, she went back


    to take the coat. But she didn''t expect that Le had simr intentions.


    When Phoebe thought about the things that Le had done to Sheryl, a look of displeasure crossed her


    face. She quickened her pace and pulled the coat from Le''s hands.


    Le never anticipated that someone would suddenly take the coat from her. Feeling muddled, she


    looked around to see who this person was. But before she could snatch it back, the coat was already


    taken away by Phoebe.


    Lifting her lips into a disdainful smile, Le said to Phoebe, "What happened to the Cloud Advertising


    Company? Don''t they pay you enough to afford a coat? It is so unfortunate that you have to go around


    stealing things!"


    Le obviously knew Phoebe. When she saw her, she instantly thought of Sheryl. So, she couldn''t help


    mocking her.


    "I''ve paid for the coat. It is mine!" Phoebe said, looking furious.


    Her eyes suddenly looked at Charles. Her fury intensified when she realized Charles was hanging out


    with this wretched woman.
