Chapter 325
It caught Charmine by surprise when-as she turned-she rammed against something hard like a wall.
It was Anthony.
Of course, it was because Anthony walked right behind her, thus resulting in Charmine bumping against Anthony’s arm.
Anthony lowered his head to look at Charmine in his arms and frowned. “What now? What else do you want to do in the hotel room?”
“You wish! There are too many people out there, and they’ll spot us right off the bat if we go like this. Do you have hats?” asked Charmine.
“No,” came his reply.
Charmine grimaced. Damn it! Charmine got into the hotel by hiding in Anthony’s arms… How could she leave then?
After a moment of thought, Anthony offered, “I’ll lend you my hug again.”
Again? He would carry her again?
Instinctively, she refused, “No need.”
There were other ways to go around it, Charmine thought.
At that moment, they heard footsteps that paced toward them. It was not just one person; it sounded like a group of staff walking toward them.
Without hesitation, Charmine jumped into Anthony’s arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she snuggled into his arms.
Anthony instinctively caught her, and his lips curled up.
The group of staff walked toward him and greeted in unison, “Mr. Bailey.”
“What?” asked Anthony, with Charmine still in his embrace.
Anthony listened quietly with Charmine in his arms, from the report of the first quarter to the second quarter, then to the third. Reports on various expenses, services, facilities and whatnot, it took about five minutes just to go through those!
Charmine almost fell asleep, yet the man continued, “In the following five years, our plan is to expand our bars to other cities, aiming to expand globally by…”
Cough, cough! The man was talking about the Bar’s future plans already…!
Charmine adjusted herself in Anthony’s arm, her nostrils filled with his refreshing scent. She could clearly feel the outlines of his rock-hard muscles just by leaning her face against his chest.
This position was too misleading! She had been in his arms for so long, and with so many eyes on them too!
What could she do if anyone spotted anything on her that served to identify her? What if they found out that it was her all along?
Unable to stomach the thought and wait any longer, she poked Anthony at his back.
Meanwhile, Anthony felt Charmine’s finger poking against him, but he merely gave a faint smile and did nothing on it.
