Charlie laughed and said, “It’s for my wife and mother-in-law. Just choose something that women like better.”Kathleen nodded and smiled as she said, “When buying things for women, bags and jewelry are definitely the best choices. For bags, there are Hermes and Chanel, and for jewelry, there would be even more brands such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, and Bvlgari. These are all good choices.”Charlie said, “I will not be buying bags for them this time. I have already bought them bags before but I can consider getting them jewelry...”As Charlie thought of this, he suddenly remembered the situation that Jasmine had helped him set up for Elaine.At that time, Elaine had ended up spending almost all the cash because of a fancy emerald necklace from Bvlgari.Charlie suddenly thought of how Elaine would feel if he were to buy her the exact same necklace that she had bought when she had won the lottery. As Charlie thought of this, he said without any hesitation, “Let’s go to Bvlgari
While Charlie and Kathleen were shopping in the mall, Marianne, who was preparing for her thesis that was due soon, suddenly received an email from Aurous University. When she saw the two words ‘Aurous University’, she became very excited and quickly opened the email. After that, she could not help but read out the content of the email softly, “Dear Miss Marianne, I hope you’re well. I’m Rita Linzey, the person in charge of the Outstanding Talent Introduction Program at Aurous University. I have received your resume and cover letter. After our preliminary review, we believe that your situation is consistent with the needs of our Outstanding Talent Introduction Program. You are invited to come to Aurous University for an interview. The interview time is...”When Marianne saw this, she immediately exclaimed and cheered excitedly, “This is great!”Marianne’s classmate and friend, Kori Canvin, who was aside, was quietly searching for information when she suddenly heard Marianne shout.
Marianne felt a little exasperated as she said, “Kori, if you’re going to always be so immodest, it would be better for me to stay away from you in the future, then!” Kori pouted and asked her, “Marianne, why don’t you ask him to come out for a meal together when it’s convenient? I don’t have any other skills, but I definitely have the ability to identify a scumbag. I can tell just by having a meal with him!”Marianne said in a somewhat melancholic manner, “There’s no chance anymore. He will be leaving Hong Kong tonight.”“Huh?” Kori asked in surprise, “Is he going back to Oskia? If my guess is right, he should be from Aurous Hill, right?”Marianne felt reluctant, and she did not continue hiding anything at this time. Instead, she sighed helplessly and said, “He’s going back to the United States.”“Going back to the United States?” Kori hurriedly asked, “Why are you going to Aurous Hill, then? You should go to the United States to look for him!”Marianne held her chin as she fix
Five o’clock in the evening.Shawn’s Rolls-Royce convoy brought him and Janus to the hotel where Charlie and Kathleen were staying on time.When Shawn saw Charlie, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, the convoy is ready and can set off at any time.”Charlie nodded lightly. When he saw that Marianne was not there, he asked casually, “Is Miss Marianne here?” Shawn hurriedly explained, “Mr. Wade, I already called Marianne. She said that she happened to have to make a trip to the airport, so she went over there by herself.”Charlie said, “Okay, we can leave as well, then.”Half an hour later, Charlie and Kathleen followed Shawn’s convoy to the Hong Kong International Airport.The convoy stopped in front of the VIP building. After Shawn got out of the car at the front, he trotted all the way to the car that Charlie was in. Upon opening the door, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, you and Miss Fox will have to go through the security and customs check first. The convoy will also have to g
Charlie nodded. When he saw that there was still no sign of Marianne among the people standing outside the car, he subconsciously felt a little disappointed. However, he did not ask Shawn about it again and spoke up, “Mr. Long, it’s getting late. Let’s get in the car and go.”Shawn looked at the time and hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, I don’t know what’s going on with Marianne. I cannot reach her on her cell phone. Wait for a moment, and I will try calling her again.” After saying that, Shawn took out his cell phone and was about to call Marianne again when he heard Marianne’s voice sounding from not far away. “Dad!” Charlie subconsciously turned his head. The moment he saw Marianne, the uncontrollable disappointment in his heart instantly disappeared.Charlie would definitely feel some regret if he did not get to see Marianne again before leaving Hong Kong today.Shawn also had a happy expression on his face. He reached out his hand, beckoned to Marianne, and could not help but c
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 tim
After ten minutes of driving, the convoy arrived at the hangar where Kathleen’s plane was parked.Charlie had originally thought that Kathleen’s plane would be a luxurious business jet like a Gulfstream G650. However, he never expected it to be a huge Boeing 747 that was currently parked in the hangar.This plane was a symbol of wealth and power, just like the United States President’s Air Force One. The crew had completed all the pre-takeoff checks and inspections, and more than ten people, including the captain and the chief steward, were waiting as they stood together at the bottom of the plane’s spiral staircase. The convoy stopped one after the other, and everyone got out of the cars. Charlie glanced at Marianne, who was next to him. When he saw that she was pursing her lips without speaking, he spoke up and said, “Miss Marianne, let’s get out of the car.” Marianne raised her head and looked at Charlie with a shy look in her eyes as she said softly, “Mr. Wade, I wonder whe
By this point, Marianne was already almost out of sight, but Charlie found that she was still standing in the same place even though everyone else had gotten on the plane.Charlie turned back and looked for a long time before turning his head back. Somehow, he always had a feeling of empathy for Marianne. He knew that this beautiful girl who was envied by countless people in Hong Kong had actually lost all color in her life ever since the day her father had cheated on her mother. Since then, in addition to facing her mother’s tears and grief every day, she had also had to accept the reality that her mother was seriously ill and her health was deteriorating.After her mother’s death, although her father had given her a lot of material compensation, this compensation was basically a drop in the bucket compared to the blow caused by her mother’s death.Therefore, Charlie knew that Marianne had not been happy all these years and was even living in nostalgia for her mother.
