Love And

Chapter 289.

However, Charlie was still reluctant to leave. He wanted to see Claire again, even from afar. ‘If I didn’t see her in person, it somehow feels… not quite real, he thought. Without realizing it, he sat down at the entrance of Jones Group. However, he merely sat for a while before standing up and forcing himself to leave.

Charlie mused, I can’t continue sitting here. Hayden will come over in a few days and take me to see Kelly for work–related reasons. By sitting here, may damage Hoggard Technologies‘ image. I can’t drag Hayden down. With that, he reluctantly left with his suitcase.

A few minutes later, Charlie checked into a hotel near Jones Group’s headquarters. Unbeknownst to him, three black luxury cars appeared at the entrance of the headquarters building just after he left. Among them, the middle vehicle looked the most luxurious and expensive.

The doors of the three luxury cars opened almost simultaneously, with bodyguards rushing out from the front and rear vehicles. They moved quickly to the door of the middle luxury car to guard Kelly as she stepped out.

After the 34–year–old Kelly got out of the car, she walked straight into the headquarters building of Jones Group flanked by the bodyguards.

At the same time, Charlie also settled down in the hotel. However, after putting his luggage away, he couldn’t resist opening the window of his room and looking toward Jones Group’s headquarters. Anxiety, restlessness, uneasiness, and an indescribable worry and fear overwhelmed him. He was afraid the files he had previously seen were all fake and that he had rushed over only to be happy for nothing.

Meanwhile, Hayden got his assistant to contact Jones Group for work–related reasons. Given Hoggard Technologies‘ exceptional global standing, the result was as expected, and they soon secured an appointment.

All Hayden had to do was swiftly accomplish the tasks at hand, and he could head over to Yowhayton to meet Kelly. After arranging this, he immediately forwarded the good news to Charlie to dispel his worries.

Charlie read Hayden’s message, and seeing he could follow the latter to meet Claire in two days, he was relieved yet worried. ‘I’m relieved because I’ll surely meet Claire with Hayden’s help. What worries me is… Could she have forgotten me after all these years?‘ he wondered.

One should avoid dwelling on certain issues too much, as the thought of them would reduce confidence and increase anxiety. Even Charlie couldn’t escape it, wondering, ‘Why didn’t Claire explain to me back then? Why didn’t she come looking for me if she still loved me? Even… A message would be nice. I kept my previous phone number all these years, worried she might suddenly want to contact me one day but couldn’t reach me. I’ve also worked hard to maintain my popularity onscreen, to stand in the most conspicuous place so she could easily locate and come to me whenever she desired. I waited so long, year after year, with no news at all…NôvelDrama.Org © content.

While Charlie’s mind wandered. Kelly put down her pen and began taking a break after handling a series of contract documents in the headquarters building of Jones Group

However, the cooperation she just dealt with was always in her mind during the rest, an invitation from Zentiscape’s Hoggard Technologies to meet for a pleasant cooperation.

Given her assistant’s presence earlier, she didn’t dare to display unusual emotions, merely agreeing to the meeting in her usual business–like manner. However, after her assistant left and she was alone in the spacious office, her thoughts spiraled out of control.

Hoggard Technologies is undoubtedly powerful, and Jones Group requires the various smart massage robots they developed. Hence, when they sent an appointment to meet and discuss cooperation, I didn’t need to hesitate much and agreed directly. But that’s not what I care about. I’ve been secretly following certain matters in Zentiscape with my alternate account. A few years ago, the trending news in Zentiscape reported that the award–winning actor, Charlie, had found his younger sister, she thought.

She couldn’t help feeling happy when she saw the good news, knowing Charlie must’ve been overjoyed at finding his lost sister after thinking about her constantly.

To be exact, she was genuinely happy. She also saw footage of Charlie joining variety shows and filming movies and TV series later. The light in his eyes told her that he was genuinely ecstatic.

His happiness also made her not want to and dare not disturb his life. Her world was too complicated. She didn’t want to get him involved in the deception and manipulation of the Jones family.

Years passed, and the only thing she couldn’t let go of was his marriage. ‘He’s still not married. Why? Hasn’t he found someone he truly loves over the years? But, he should get married soon. He’s already 35 years old, an old bachelor, she mused.

On countless late nights, Claire couldn’t help but secretly pray to the heavens, asking the deities, if there were any, to bless Charlie so that he could find a girl who shared his love soon and then marry and live happily ever after.

“When we were together, Chuck often mentioned his three–year–old lost sister to me. So, I couldn’t help but pay more attention to Becky after she returned to the Carter family, hence my awareness that she’s now with Hayden. Does this mean I’ll meet Chuck’s brother–in–law in two days?‘ As Kelly thought about it, her lips quirked up, and she couldn’t help but smile happily.

She was in a good mood today, despite knowing it was just the husband of Charlie’s sister. ‘But… After Hayden and Becky married, they should see Chuck often,’ she thought, her mood further lifting. ‘Since Hayden meets Chuck often, and I’m meeting Hayden, does this mean I’m meeting Chuck indirectly? Besides… If there’s a chance, I might meet Chuck’s sister in person someday!

Just then, Kelly heard footsteps outside. The smile on her face instantly disappeared, returning to seriousness, and she sat down behind her desk.

However, the person entering the office the next moment made Kelly relax again. “Why are you bere?” she asked in Yowhaytonian, somewhat tired.

The woman in the Utpetress chuckled, replying in the same language, “What? Are you disappointed feme

Kelly was momentarily speechless before asking. “What’s the matter?”

Anna came over, sat directly on the desk before Kelly, and said, “Your mom has found another man for you to go on a blind date tomorrow.*
