Chapter 586


    Charlize dreamed about the day she first met Spencer, probably because of her shbacks earlier. In


    fact, she even relived that nightmarish ss gathering.


    However, in her dream, the person who confessed his love to her wasn''t her ssmate. It was Spencer


    instead. Her ssmates encouraged her to ept the proposal like how they did in the past, but in the


    dream, she didn''t say no. She said yes while blushing.


    Right after that, her ssmates began moring, urging them to kiss.


    Charlize was stunned as she stared at Spencer, who lowered his head and was about to nt a kiss on


    her lips.


    It wasn''t until she heard the rm clock that she realized she was merely dreaming.


    The thought of her dream made her cover her face in embarrassment. That was so embarrassing! How


    can I dream about Spencer kissing me?


    She touched her burning cheeks for a while before calming down and going to freshen up.


    Charles always woke up early, so when Charlize descended the stairs, she saw her brother having


    breakfast at the dining table.


    “Good morning, Charles.” Charlize was evidently in a good mood.


    Charles, however, wasn''t. After ncing at her, he nodded. “Mhm.”


    Charlize''s phone rang right after she finished her breakfast.


    When Charles spotted the name of the caller, he scowled.


    Meanwhile, Charlize was taken aback. It''s not even working hours yet. Why did Spencer call me?


    She nced at her brother''s darkened expression and hastily returned to her room with her phone. “Mr.


    Lacroix?”


    “Mr. Lacroix?” Spencer arched his eyebrow.


    Feeling somewhat troubled, Charlize inquired, “What should I call you, then?”


    A whileter, Spencer answered, “Call me by my name.”


    “I don''t think that''s a good idea.”


    “Why not?”


    “Because...” Charlize thought about it and couldn''te up with a good reason.


    Then, she nced at herself in the mirror and changed the topic. “I''ve just finished breakfast, so I


    haven''t reached thepany yet. Do you need something, Spencer?”


    It still feels weird to call him by his name.


    “I''m at your ce right now,” answered Spencer.


    Charlize was astonished. “Why are you suddenly here?”


    A momentary silence ensued before he said, “Didn''t I tell you I''d pick you upst night?”


    “Ah! Oh, yeah. I''ll be downstairs soon!” Upon ending her sentence, Charlize hung up the call. I


    absolutely won''t admit that I didn''t hear a thing he saidst night.


    Expeditiously, she grabbed her bag, put on her shoes, and dashed downstairs, not wanting to let


    Spencer wait any longer.


    Charles was reading the newspaper, still assuming he would be sending her to thepany. Hence,


    he was surprised to see Charlize bolting down the stairs without even ncing at him.


    He was stunned momentarily before he tossed the newspaper in his hand aside. “Charlize!”


    In response, Charlize halted her steps. “What''s the matter, Charles?”


    She felt slightly guilty when she thought about Spencer waiting at the entrance.


    Staring at her, Charles questioned, “Why are you running? I''m still here.”


    Charlize didn''t have the nerve to look at Charles. “My friend''s here to drive me to work.”


    “Friend?” Charles'' eyebrows knitted together. Does she have a friend I don''t know about? Something''s


    not right...


    “I see. Go ahead, then.” As he spoke, he waved his hand.


    Charlize heaved a breath of relief. I was worried he was going to ask me which friend.


    “I''ll be leaving for work now, Charles.” The moment she ended her sentence, she dashed downstairs.


    Charles followed her and saw a ck Phaeton parked at the entrance. Through the windshield, he saw


    Spencer in the driver''s seat.


    “So this is the friend you''re talking about?” inquired Charles while approaching his sister.


    Charlize, who hadn''t entered the vehicle yet, shuddered and turned to face her brother guiltily upon


    hearing his voice. “Charles.”


    Instead of responding to her, Charles stared at Spencer coldly. “Our family has many drivers and cars.


    You do not need to pick Charlize up personally, Mr. Lacroix.”


    It was evident from his icy tone that he was in a foul mood.


    Yet, Spencer wasn''t afraid. “Charlize is my girlfriend, so it''s only natural that I drive her to work.”


    He paused, then continued, “Besides, Charlize is now working at mypany. It''s more convenient for


    me to pick her up.”


    Charles didn''t want to argue with Spencer since Charlize was present. Regarding Spencer with a


    frown, Charles spat, “You''re just in a rtionship, that''s all. You don''t have to be so confident, Mr.


    Lacroix.” It''s still undecided who Charlize will marry in the end.


    Charlize, who understood the hidden meaning behind Charles'' words, blushed. “Charles!”


    Not wanting to anger his baby sister, Charles merely said, “Be careful on your way.”


    With that, he walked back into the Johnson residence.


    Embarrassed, Charlize got into the car and exined, “Don''t mind my brother, Mr. Lacroix. He''s just


    worried about me.”


    However, Spencer wasn''t concerned about that. “What did you just call me, Charlize Johnson?”


    Charlize dreaded hearing Spencer calling her by her full name. He would often address her as “Ms.


    Johnson,” so whenever he mentioned her full name, it meant she did something horribly wrong.


    After over a year of working as his secretary, she had be conditioned to apologize to him


    whenever he called her full name. “I’m sorry, Mr. Lacroix,” she said out of reflex.


    Upon ending her sentence, she realized she had made the same mistake.


    For the first time in her life, Charlize wanted to sew her mouth shut. Why can''t I change the way I


    address him?

    After gazing at her for a while, Spencer drove to thepany without saying a word. He couldn''t be


    bothered to criticize her.


    It was quiet in the car, and Charlize couldn''t tell if Spencer was angry or not.


    The vehicle stopped at the first traffic light after leaving the residential area.


    While stealing a nce at Charlize, she noticed Spencer was looking at her, too.


    When their eyes met, Charlize felt embarrassed and guilty. “I wasn''t looking at you. I was looking at that


    streetmp—”


    He turned in the direction she pointed randomly at and saw no streetmp. “Are you sure about that?”


    In response, Charlize wailed inwardly. I wish I was a mute.


    Spencer frowned slightly when she fell silent again. “Charlize.”


    “Yes, Mr. Lacroix?”


    Spencer gave up on making her change the way she addressed him. “Are you afraid of me?”


    Charlize shook her head. “No, I''m not.”


    Judging from her reaction, I''d be an idiot if I believed her words. Pursing his lips, Spencer handed her


    the present that he didn''t get to give herst night. “I wanted to give you thisst night.”


    Charlize was surprised. He''s treating me so nicely now that he''s my boyfriend! Not only did he pick me


    up early in the morning, he even prepared a present for me! I''m so touched!
