535 Will You Kick Me out?
"Did she tell you all of this?" Karl asked.
"Yes. So, why do you want to invest in Daydream?" Anna replied.
Karl laughed and said, "I'm just doing this to show everyone what I'm capable of. Peace always thinks I'm a slacker, and Wayne canceled the project of our new company. So | had no choice but to..."
"Peace didn't think of you that way at all." Anna thought carefully about his words before asking, "What did you just say? What do you mean that Wayne isn't going to start a new business? He had never told me that before!"
It wasn’t until then that Karl realized he had spilled the beams, so he covered his mouth regretfully.
"Are you guys hiding something from me?" Anna asked, her gaze fixed
on Karl.

At night, the temperature in Cliatin dropped below zero. And there were few people on the street. In the morning, the weather forecast showed that there would be a snowstorm in the evening. But it hadn't yet snowed at 11 pm.
All day, Anthony hadn't said much to Chelsea during work After the last customer had left, Anthony's expression returned to seriousness. Anthony then began to wipe the cash register clean. He wiped it slowly and
seemed to be in deep thought.
"You've wiped the register five times already. It will melt if you keep doing it." Chelsea pouted and said. Her demeanor remained unfriendly, 534 Will You Kick Me out?

"You've wiped the register five times already. It will melt if you keep doing it." Chelsea pouted and said. Her demeanor remained unfriendly, 534 Will You Kick Me out? and her expression cold.
Hearing that, Anthony froze for a second. He wanted to tell her what he was thinking, but he shut his mouth when he saw her expression. "All right, then I'll go clean the coffee machine," he said. He then wiped the coffee machine with the rag.
Chelsea kept her arms folded as she stared at him, then she said coldly, "You've wiped it three times, too."
Instantly, Anthony stopped walking.
"Do you want to say something to me?" Chelsea asked. She didn't seem to be asking him but rather forcing him to speak.
"Yes, | have something to ask you about," he said briefly after a pause.
"You can ask me right now."
Anthony rode slowly because his bike was old. And Chelsea tugged tightly on his down jacket to prevent herself from falling. When she put on her hat, she felt warm. She smiled, as she had never smiled so happily for the past few days. This is the life / should be leading. It's a little difficult, but everything is real, She thought.
The blizzard lasted all night. By midnight, the entire city had been blanketed in snow. When Anthony awoke the next morning, he noticed snow plows were working on the road.
Anthony called the store manager to tell him that he and Chelsea were taking time off. He then made breakfast for two and waited for Chelsea to get up.
"How about | take you to lunch today? I'll introduce you to some of my
friends. They're all good people," With a smile, Anthony said to the girl.
Chelsea took a seat at the table. "All right," she said. And her eyes widened when she heard the news on the TV.
Seeing that, Anthony reached for the remote and attempted to change the channel, but she stopped him. "Where is this place?" she asked.
"That commercial development is being built on Fleet Street. Is there a problem?"
Meanwhile, news reporter was at the construction site, as seen on TV. "A construction project on Fleet Street collapsed last night at 2:10 am. The fire department is doing everything possible to search and rescue, and there have been no casualties. The Carousel Group owns the project, and the group's leader visited the site this morning to assess the situation in person. We'll keep tuned..."
Then the photographer focused his lens on a young woman in the distance. And the reporter approached her quickly and then pointed the microphone at her. However, the bodyguards stopped the reporters. And the woman used her hands to block the camera, saying, "Sorry, no comment."
The bouncer knocked over the camera, causing the screen to go dark. The news screen returned to the indoor broadcast in the next second. The next second, the host said, "In order to gain profit, the Carousel Group has done something illegal. The head of the Group is not yet 18 years old, so we can't judge whether he can take responsibility for this matter. But there is no doubt that the Carousel Group will be solely responsible for this matter."
Shocked, Chelsea placed her fork firmly on the table.
"What's wrong?" Anthony asked Chelsea in surprise.
Chelsea frowned and asked, "Where is Fleet Street? I’m going there."
