Chapter 317
Gigi and Scarlet could spot the strands of hair stuck to Anthony’s zipper, even in the dark?
How embarrassing!
Gigi and Scarlet were shocked and surprised. Never did it occur to them that Charminé had a thing with Anthony!
Despite their bewilderment, both women had no time nor the courage to inquire about it, thus they remained silent on the matter.
Charmine gave Anthony a…
Scarlet noticed the shamefaced Charmine, thus she quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, Ms. Jordan, Mr. Bailey. We won’t tell anyone, and we’ll keep our mouths shut.”
“Yes, sorry to have bothered you tonight. Please, carry on,” added Gigi as she pulled at Scarlet to leave. Charmine and Anthony had to be annoyed after their business’ was cut short due to the whole fiasco with Johnson…
No wonder Anthony had a straight face the entire time as he said not a single word.
“Drive,” blurted Scarlet to Amy, “hurry!”
“Yes!” The car raced away, leaving Charmine and Anthony under the lamp post. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Charmine was rendered speechless.
Damn it! Clearing out the misunderstanding would be difficult. The two women had their heads in the gutter, and their expressions said it all… Charmine’s reputation was ruined! She should have made
Anthony remove the hair, and she should have helped him!
She helplessly turned to Anthony. “Well, now you have to fix this for me!”
“Fix what?” Anthony asked, his voice deep and magnetic.
“Fix the misunderstanding!” barked Charmine.
This was never her forte, and since Anthony claimed to be resourceful, he should know how to clear the situation… Right?
However, Anthony merely frowned. “What misunderstanding?”

“Damn you! You tricked me!” Anthony did not flinch as he let Charmine punch him.
Her strength was nothing to him that he did not even wince at her punches. He merely looked at her.” Charmine, you don’t have to be embarrassed. Anyone who’d been in love would know that this is the most genuine and loving interaction between a couple.”
His tone soothing and formal, as if he was making a philosophical statement.
With a roll of her eyes, Charmine scoffed, “Oh, and you know that very well?” Anthony’s eyes darkened instantly, and Charmine felt like her heart was pricked at the shift of his expression, feeling uneasy.
Still… It made sense. Anthony was 28 years old. How could he be chaste? He must have had an ex girlfriend, and perhaps, more than one…
Charmine’s emotions went rampant at the thought as her heart felt strangely uneasy, panicky.
She changed the subject, “It’ll rain soon. Let’s go home.”
As she turned to walk to the car, Anthony grasped her arm as he raspily began, “Charmine, wait-”
“Hmph. Why’re you telling me this.” She swung his hand away nonchalantly and simply said, “I understand. We’re all adults, after all, who hasn’t done it before? Also, I’d laugh at you if you’re still chaste. A man should act like a man.”
Anthony’s words hung heavily at his lips but he swallowed them back. Other than the incident five years ago, he was indeed still a chaste man. Would Charmine look down on him?
Did she really not care about his past and had zero interest in him? That had to be it; she was not curious about his past because she had no interest in him.. Out of the blue, a loud rumble of the thunderstorm was heard.
