Chapter 283 An Annoying Fly
As Imogen said, Charlie really thought like that.
When Chad walked over with the phone and handed it to her, Charlie really didn’t want to take it, but
many people around looked at her, so Charlie had to reach out to take the phone and wipe its screen.
“Thank you.”
“You’re wee. It’s a piece of cake.” Chad showed a faint smile, and his gold–rimmed sses
dazzled with a metallic luster.
Charlie asked coldly, “Why are you here?”
“I heard the scenery here is pretty good, so I came here to rx myself, but I didn’t expect to meet
you.”
Charlie nced at Chad suspiciously.
Chad turned his head to look at the thief, who was pinned to the ground by passers–by, and took out
his phone to call the police.
After hanging up the phone, he said, “The police will be here soon, so please wait here.”
Imogen walked over quickly. “Charlie, are you okay?”
Charlie said, “I’m fine. You can go shopping first, and I will find youter after we help the police know
about the situation.”
“Why is he here?” Imogen nced at Chad next to her.
Charlie rolled her eyes and nced at Troy. “He said he came here to rx. Who would believe it?”
Troy, who suffered a caustic tone from Charlie, was calm and looked up at Chad. Chad met Troy’s gaze
for a moment, then averted his eyes tond on Charlie.
Troy also averted his eyes and passed a shrimp meatball to Grace in his arms. Imogen understood.
“Well, I’ll wait here with you.”
“No. Time is running out, so you’d better go to take photos,” said Charlie.
Imogen said, “Alright, call me when you’re done.”
“Okay,” Charlie said.
Imogen turned to Troy and said, “Let’s go.”
The moment Imogen and Troy passed by, Chad caught a glimpse of Troy’s profile and suddenly felt
it looked familiar as if he had seen it somewhere. This familiarity did note from the resemnce
between Troy and Yohan.
But Chad couldn’t remember where he had seen it.
Maybe Chad met Troy once when Troy was on a business trip abroad.
Chad looked at the figures of the two leaving and asked casually, “Is that Troy Marshall, the new
president of the Marshall Group?”
“Yes,” Charlie answered.
Chad continued to ask, “But I remember they seemed to be divorced.”
“Yes. But Troy always pesters Imogen, who is as an annoying fly as someone,” Charlie said slowly.
After saying that, regardless of Chad’s expression, Charlie walked over to thank the two strong
men who were holding the thief and said she would treat them to a meal after helping the police know
about the situation.
One of the strong men said, “No. It’s just a piece of cake. I think you should invite that young man to a
meal. Without him, the thief might not be stopped.”
Charlie looked back at Chad, pursed her lips, and turned around to smile. “Okay, I will definitely treat
him, and you two coulde together.”
“No…”
The two strong men waved their hands and refused.
Then Charlie went to a supermarket in the scenic spot to buy some water and gifts for the two. Not long
after, the police arrived, and they watched the surveince, knew the whole situation based on the
statements of several people, and then took the thief
away.
Watching others walk away, Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and then greeted Chad, “All are over. Bye–
bye.” And then she immediately turned around and left while calling Imogen.
“Wait!” Chad eximed.
“What’s wrong?” Charlie said.
“Didn’t you just say you wanted to treat me to a meal?” Chad said.
“When did I…” Charlie thought of something before finishing speaking, and then her face turned
gloomy. “I just said that to those two men, so you don’t have to take it seriously.”
“But I really take it seriously,” Chad replied.
Facing Charlie’s dissatisfied and usatory gaze, Chad smiled and added, “I have already thought
about what to eat. As a privileged person from the Franco family, you will not be stingy with a meal,
right? What’s more, those two men don’t go too far.”
As he said, Chad nced in a certain direction.
Charlie followed his gaze and found the two men talking not far
She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright.”
away.
As the phone was connected, Imogen’s voice came from the receiver, “Charlie, is it over? We are
now…”
“Imogen, I will treat Chad to a meal, so I won’t go to find you until after the meal,” Charlie said before
Imogen could finish speaking.
Imogen hesitated for a moment. “Okay. But you have to be careful and call me if there is any situation.”
“Okay, don’t worry.”
After hanging up the phone, Imogen put the phone back in her pocket, picked up the camera, and
conducted Troy and Grace, who were a few feet away. “Pleasee closer. Yes, that’s it, and just
smile… Good!”
Troy didn’t like taking pictures, but Grace insisted on taking a photo with him.
Troy came over, checked the photos on the camera with Imogen, and asked casually, “Was it Ms.
Franco’s call just now?”
“Yes. She said she can’te over here now.” Looking at the photos seriously, Imogen responded
casually.

“Her ex–boyfriend is a mixed race, right?” asked Troy.
Imogen was surprised and looked at Troy with her eyebrows raising. “Why do
“I guess it ording to his eyes and facial bones,” Troy replied.
“I’ve never heard of Charlie mentioned it before,” Imogen said.
you say that?”
Maybe Troy wrongly guessed. Although Chad’s facial features were like a person with mixed. blood, it
was not so obvious that someone could find that Chad was a mixed race at a nce. Chad went to
learn about restaurants here in advance, so he chose a restaurant offering ssic dishes with local
characteristics.
Chad and Charlie sat down opposite each other, and a waiter came up with the menu. “Hello, may I
help you? Valentine’s Day is approaching, so our restaurant recently held an activity for couples to offer
them the set menu, which is very cost–effective! Do you want to try it?”
“No, thanks.”
“Sure.”
Charlie and Chad answered in unison.
After Chad and Charlie finished speaking, the two looked at each other. Charlie was the first to speak,
“No, just order the ordinary food. It’s not like I can’t afford it.”
Chad sneered. “Ms. Franco, you are so generous!”
After saying that, he took the menu and began to report the names of dishes, one after another. Charlie
understood that Chad deliberately ordered a lot to get revenge on her!
As soon as the waiter left, Charlie sighed. “Chad, you have changed.”
Chad raised his eyebrows. “Huh?”
“You have be stingy, and your appetite has also increased. Could it be that you couldn’t get food
abroad?”
Chad showed a smile, looking gentle with the gold–rimmed sses. “I saw you eat with a man in a
restaurant a few days ago. Is it your blind date? But bald on his head, he looked like forty or fifty. It’s
hard for you to hold on to finish that meal.”
As soon as it came to blind dates, Charlie thought of that brother, who suddenly came to his family one
day, feeling extremely irritated.
She retorted, “Look at yourself! I’m afraid you don’t even have a blind date, right?”
Chad was about to say something, but suddenly, the screen of the phone on the table lit up,
apanied by a pleasant ringtone.
Chad made a gesture to signal Charlie to be silent and then answered the phone, with his tone
suddenly turning softer, “Olivia, what’s the matter?”
Olivia, this name sounded like a girl’s.

After Olivia saying something on the other side of the phone, Chadforted, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back
in a few days, and I’ll bring you some gifts. Okay, bye–bye.”
Chad hung up the phone, put it back on the table, and smiled at Charlie. “What did you say just
now?”
“Nothing.” Charlie raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Your girlfriend?”
Chad smiled, looked at Charlie seriously to carefully observe Charlie’s expression, and did not

deny it.
Charlie sighed. “Oh, I really don’t know why she blind–mindedly fell in love with you.”
