Chapter 559 Charmine, still on the sofa, felt as though Anthony would bust out of the wardrobe at any given time, and the document in her hands felt like a hot, flaming yam.
Terrified, she threw the document aside and said to Senior Jordan, âGrandpa, I donât like them. We youngsters donât like blind dates, but Iâll look around myself. Iâll find someone I like one day.â
âYouâre occupied with the company work every day. When would you have time to look around? Grandpa is getting old; I hope I can see you getting married while Iâm still alive. I want to make sure someone can take care of you, protect you, love you. Only so will Grandpa be able to die in peace...cough! Cough, cough...!â
Senior Jordan wheezed and coughed painfully.
Charmine hastily poured him a glass of water. âGrandpa, take care of your body and donât think too much. Iâll ask Uncle Weir to prescribe some medicines for your health tomorrow.â
âSigh... Itâs a heart illness, and only you can cure it. Iâm too worried for you and concerned. You donât even look at the list, you donât intend to get married. However many medicines I take wonât cure me... Cough, cough, cough...â spoke Senior Jordan, followed by more coughs.
2 Seeing that his face had flushed red from coughing, Charmine relented, âAlright, alright! Iâll keep the document, and Iâll look at it later. I âll look at them one by one. Iâll take good care of myself, okay?â 1 âReally?â Senior Jordan instantly stopped coughing.
Charmine nodded. âHave I broken any promise I made to Grandpa?â
It was true that she would get married. That was, at least, if Anthony fixed the matter with Annabel-
Senior Jordan was less concerned after hearing so. âGood to hear, good to hear... Take your time, Charmine. Iâll get some rest and stop pestering you.â
âOkay.â Charmine helped him up and walked him out.
Right after closing her door, she instantly walked toward the wardrobe, terror racking her being.
She actually locked Anthony inside the wardrobe; she stuffed the President Bailey in a wardrobe. The thought of it...
Quickly, she removed the pen on the handle and opened the door for Anthony.
Instantly, the eyes on Anthony were so dark, akin to a bottomless black hole. So dark that he could engulf her anytime.
âI didnât have a choice just now...â muttered Charmine.
At that moment... âCharmine.â
Senior Jordanâs voice was heard again.
Click! The door was pushed open.
Senior Jordan came back! He came back all of a sudden!
Stunned by the suddenness, Charmine felt her hand pulled by a firm and muscular hand.
Swiftly after, the wardrobe door was closed, and the space instantly darkened.
Anthony pulled her into the wardrobe with him.
Just in time, Senior Jordan walked in.
He was going to remind Charmine of other matters, but the room was empty. He looked around and could not find her.
Finally, his gaze fixed on the bathroom door. The door was closed with the lights turned on inside; it seemed Charmine had gone to the bathroom.
Senior Jordan had no choice but to leave, closing the door behind him.
Charmine, inside the wardrobe, sighed in relief as she heard the door close.
That was until a hand wrapped around her waist fiercely.
She was pulled into a manâs embrace tightly.
Anthony lowered his head and glared at her. âCharmine, have I been too lax on you? You looked at the folder for so long. Are you really finding someone to get married to?â
His low and questioning tone resonated in the narrow space, making the air extremely heavy and stuffy.
Charmine was a calm person, but along the way, she found herself uneasy and awkward around Anthony. She had no idea when it even began, either.
She explained, âI was acting for Grandpa! Also, the last page of the folder wasââ
