Marianne said shyly, “Miss Fox, I can go in any car...”
Kathleen smiled and said, “Since any car will do for you, just take this one, then. I’ll go in the same car as Master Yant!”
Having said that, Kathleen turned around, waved her hand behind her, and got into the Rolls-Royce at the back of the convoy.
When Charlie saw this, he held the car door open with one hand and said to Marianne, “Miss Marianne, please get in the car.”
Marianne nodded slightly, greeted her father, Shawn, bent down, and got into the car.
Charlie also got into the car. When he saw that Marianne was still out of breath at this time, he guessed that she must be very tired from running all the way and said, “Why didn’t you give me a call to update me since your friend’s plane was delayed? Why did you have to run and be in such a hurry?”
Marianne shook her head and said, “How could I possibly let so many people wait for me together? She was not delayed for too long, so I was able to catch up and make it on time by just running a little.”
Charlie felt a little male chauvinism at that point, looked at the box in his hand, and then said, “In truth, there’s no need for you to pick out a gift specifically for me. I actually don’t lack anything.”
Marianne said earnestly, “You gave me such an expensive pill but I haven’t given you any gift in return yet...”
Charlie asked curiously, “Who told you that the pill was expensive? Was it Miss Fox?”
“Yes...” Marianne was like a child who had done something wrong as she whispered nervously, “It was at that time when you went to get me the cell phone casing. I accidentally took out the pill that you gave me and showed it to Miss Fox...”
Charlie nodded lightly, and he could not help but think about how Kathleen would have felt when she saw the Healing Pill that he had given to Marianne.
Back when Kathleen’s grandfather had been dying, he had only given her half a pill.
Charlie was not being stingy, but the main reason was because he had been somewhat dissatisfied with Kathleen at that time. After all, this woman had approached him and his wife, Claire, using a false identity, and she had even investigated his background in secret. This had made Charlie feel rather dissatisfied. If it weren’t for the fact that Jordan’s son had seized the power and position as the head of the Fox family from Jordan and caused him to instantly lose everything, Charlie would not have even given Kathleen half of the Healing Pill.
However, the current Kathleen was no longer the original Kathleen. She had long sworn allegiance to Charlie, and there were several times when Kathleen had also done her best to cooperate and help when he had to get something done. Her performance was impeccable, and Charlie could not show more favor toward Marianne over Kathleen.
As Charlie thought of this, he suddenly felt that he should take advantage of this opportunity to do something for Kathleen and give her the reward that she had always dreamt of, especially since she had come to Hong Kong to help him this time.
