Charlie: “…”
Someone inside the room peeked out, and at first glance, they thought Candice had slapped the CEO in a drunken rage, spilling their drink in the process. But when they saw that the CEO wasn’t angry, their gaze shifted. He lowered his head, then tilted it slightly, almost as if… he was… kissing her?
He had been slapped and then kissed!
“Hey, could you be a little gentler with the food?”
His deep, magnetic voice came through her fingers, mixed with the night breeze, sounding somewhat hazy.
Candice blinked a couple of times in confusion, and then firmly placed her hand back over his mouth. “Fox, eat properly. If you get too thin, you won’t be pretty anymore.”
Charlie, helpless, couldn’t understand the strange world of a drunk.
After feeding her "invisible ham" to the "fox," Candice finally quieted down and let herself be carried back to the room.
In a small alley cafe, the three of them sat waiting after placing their coffee orders.Last night, they had "forced" Evelyn to reveal the true nature of the so-called networking event. After hearing the details, their determination to attend was more solidified. Well, okay, Jerry didn’t agree, but one arm couldn’t overpower two.Especially Rex's arm, which could probably strangle him with just half of it.From Evelyn's explanation, the event was organized by a business association.FG Society.An association mainly composed of top-tier businessmen.Although it's called a business association, its members were quite diverse—some with power, some with wealth, some with fame, and others with special talents. For example, various geniuses in different fields, like hackers, and even criminals—some borderline high-IQ dangerous individuals were also recruited.The association had a strict hierarchy, and the various levels of members created a kind of ecosystem.Exchanging interests, schemin
“Evelyn, are you saying the networking event is dangerous?”“You don’t know…”Evelyn realized she had slipped up, her expression tensed slightly. She quickly added,“I was just joking—it’s just a regular networking event. Nothing dangerous. Candice, you should just follow Charlie’s plan.”Candice: “…”Do you think I’m stupid?“You’ve already said that much—don’t lie to me now. I just want to know what kind of event this really is.”“If Charlie didn’t tell you, then I can’t either. He’d be angry if I did.”“…!”But you already said half of it!Candice was both anxious and irritated.She had already felt something was off, and now after hearing this, how could she pretend she hadn’t?Evelyn hesitated, then leaned in and lowered her voice.“Honestly, we all think it’s a little dangerous. Charlie’s definitely hiding it from you so you won’t get involved. But keeping it from you long-term will only hurt your relationship. There’s nothing wrong with facing things together. If you really wan
He got up to open the door.Candice stayed seated in the dining room, continuing her meal.She was certain it would be that troublesome Jessica returning, so even when she heard footsteps, she kept eating slowly—mentally preparing a scathing “greeting.”Just thinking about how she fell for Jessica’s trap this time made her angry.The combination of emotional distress and shame over her own poor judgment was no less embarrassing than getting drunk and acting out—deeply regrettable when sober.Footsteps approached from outside.But…In walked a strikingly fashionable British couple.The man had golden hair and blue eyes, refined features, and pale skin with a sickly pallor—giving off a slightly gloomy aura.The woman had cool-toned chestnut-brown hair, sharp features, and looked nearly 1.8 meters tall. Her aura was that of a top model.Their outfits were also stylish and clearly expensive.They looked straight at Candice.Their gaze was direct—like she was an art piece on display at a g
He said it as casually as if he were suggesting they go buy a watermelon together.Or maybe plant a winter melon.Just like that—simple, easy, completely pressure-free.Candice was dumbfounded.Together? Have a baby?Have a baby?!Did he think making a baby was just a mutual agreement—like a group project?Charlie lifted his eyes from behind the newspaper and asked again, as if he hadn’t heard clearly,“Together to do what?”Rex happily answered, “To have a baby, of course!”Candice: The hell you say!Jerry had just choked on an egg and reached for juice to clear it—only to be choked again…Was this topic even remotely appropriate?Charlie fell silent, as if seriously pondering this suggestion.After a moment, he let out a quiet sigh.“That’s not up to me,” he said softly, glancing at Candice.Candice stared at him blankly, then offered a cool, dry reply:“Don’t be pessimistic. Science is quite advanced nowadays.”Charlie: “Advanced enough that one person can do it alone?”Candice: “A
Charlie looked at her for a moment, his gaze deep and unreadable.“My hands are sore,” he said.“They’re not,” she replied.“The water’s really cold now.”“No, it’s not.”“…”Looking at her drunken, clingy state, he softened a little.But only for a second. Then he picked her up from the water. A drunk combined with a cold would be a disaster.He wrapped her in a towel and dried her off.The drunk girl was very dissatisfied. Even though she was the one who had thrown up, when she leaned in and caught a whiff of the smell on him, she wrinkled her nose in disgust. “Stinky.”Charlie said calmly, “Mm, I’m stinky. You’re the sweetest.”He carried her out of the bathroom.Seeing the carpet stained and the air thick with an unpleasant odor, he decisively carried her to his own bedroom.Sinking into the fresh, clean pillows, the drunk curled up contentedly and closed her eyes.Charlie went to shower.As he came out, he heard a knock on the door from the hallway.He opened it and saw Jerry sta
