Chapter 7

When they are about to leave, they heard a soft female voice from the other table.

“Charles, you’re also here.” That was Kelly. She just came when she saw Charles. Her eyes lit up in excitement.

Kelly looks so gorgeous in her simple pink dress matched with her colorful accessories. It emphasized her glowing skin and sexy body that looked refreshing to the eyes.

Kelly Young is a famous supermodel at her age of 26. She's the only daughter of John Young. Her father owns the largest real estate business in the country.

She smiled brightly while approaching them. She simply looked at Sam from head to toe.

“Kelly, what a great timing. I am supposed to call you to invite you for dinner later.” Charles said without expression on his face.

Sam thought that her guess must be right. Kelly is his girlfriend. ‘They looked like a perfect couple’ She thought to herself but with bitterness in her heart.

“Really? Sure!” Kelly was delighted by his sudden invitation.

Her smile turned brighter. She did not expect that Charles would invite her for dinner.

“Let’s go then.” He grabbed her waist then said,

“Both of you can take my car. I will ask my driver to send you back.” Charles turned to them before they leave.

Sam returned to their office with Anne. She has still a lot of works to finish. She made herself busy. However, she could not prevent herself from thinking of what happened earlier.

'They looked so in love. It must be me if I-' She sighed and cleared her thoughts immediately.

On the other hand, as soon as Charles made sure that Sam already left. He released Kelly from his grasp.

“You may go now.” He said coldly and immediately left.

“What?” Kelly was stunned. She looked so puzzled. She was not able to chase Charles as she was bewildered by the sudden change of his mind.

‘What happened just now? Didn’t he invite me for dinner?’ She thought to herself.

She clenched her fist when she realized that Charles must be using her. All the excitement she felt lost in an instant.

‘It must be because of that girl.’ A glint of anger can be seen through her eyes. She could not accept that Charles dumped her just like that.

Suddenly, an idea struck her mind. She called her friend and asked to investigate the girl with Charles earlier. She cannot let it pass that easily.

One week has passed.

Sam reached the office early, so she decided to go to the nearby cafeteria.

Sam was enjoying the sound of the classical music in the cafe while sipping her favorite coffee. All of a sudden, a woman with a cup sat on the opposite side of the table. She looked at the person and was a little shocked.

It was Kelly. She did not know why she suddenly appeared and sat down on the same table as hers.

“You are Samantha, the ex-girlfriend of Charles right? The one that got away. Hmph!" She said with a smirk on her face.

"What’s your point of bringing up the past?” Sam asked calmly.

“Nothing, I was just curious to see you with Charles last time. Are you getting him back? You're so shameless to chase him now after what you did to him!" She said mockingly while looking at her in disdain.

“Did you come here just to ask me that question?" She did not mind answering her question. She thought that it was nonsense.

“No. Actually, I came here to warn you. If you love your life, leave Charles alone!” She said with her eyes narrowed. A trace of jealousy was written all over her face.

“There was nothing to be jealous of Ms. Young." She got to know her name from Anne.

She continued, "It was a pure business matter. What happened in the past was in the past already.” Sam was still controlling her temper.

“It’s better if you stay away from him or else…” Kelly stood up then she deliberately pushed her cup of coffee on the table.

Sam widened her eyes in shock. She got up immediately once the coffee spilled on her skirt.

“What are you doing?”

She asked in disbelief. Her face turned red in disgust. She can no longer control her temper.

She picked up her coffee as well and threw it on Kelly’s dress.

“Aw! How dare you?” Kelly couldn’t believe that she would fight back. She was going to speak more when she saw a man entering the cafe. Suddenly, her eyes turned red.

“Ms. Wilson, I said I did not mean to spill the coffee on the table. I apologized already, why did you intentionally throw me your coffee?” She said as her tears fell on her face.

“What are you saying? You did it on purpose!” Sam did not understand. Why did she cry and accuse her as if she was the victim? Then, a man came from her back.

Charles's face looked dark. He saw when Sam threw her coffee on Kelly.

“What’s the meaning of this, Ms. Wilson?” He asked frigidly with knitted eyebrows.

She now understood. Kelly acted as if she was the victim as she saw Charles coming in.

Kelly looked pitiful outside. But she was very furious deep inside.

“I just did what was right for her. I don’t care about you two so please leave me alone!” Then, she left. She thought it was useless to explain herself. She did not care if Charles chose to believe Kelly.

Kelly still looked piteous. The coffee splattered on her white dress. Charles removed his coat and put it on Kelly. He did not ask what happened. Then, they left the cafe together. Fire flashed in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Sam was very upset. She went back to the office and directly went to the comfort room. Fortunately, her skirt was color dark gray. The coffee stain was not that visible after she cleaned it.
