As soon as Max heaved a sigh of relief, he glanced at Charity in admiration. "I didn't know you’d be so clever."
Charity lowered her head and ate the kebab in slight embarrassment.
If it had not been for Chester’s reminder at the bar the other day, she might not have done that.
At most, she would have arranged for more people to protect Sherman and his mentee.
However, substitution was the best solution.
A hair slid off her ear and landed on her cheek.
With the black-and-white contrast, Max could not help but stretch out his hand to tuck the hair behind her ear.
Being touched by the opposite sex, her body suddenly stiffened.
She lifted her head, only to meet Max's black, bright eyes.
"I'm worried that you got oil on your hair." Her gaze made Max's ears turn hot. Even so, he tried his best to feign indifference while speaking. After that, he looked down, revealing his red ear lobes.
Such a look coupled with his handsome face made him look a little cute.
Charity looked down with mixed emotions.
Her condition should be a little better.
However, when faced with Max’s flirtatious act, she did not have a distinctive sensation that a couple should have.
Would she be able to accept Max or other men after her condition turned better?
A hint of uncertainty and confusion flashed across Charity's eyes.
"I need to leave now. I have a meeting at The Lodge tonight.” Max rubbed his fingers and rose to his feet.
"If you’re busy, you don't need to come.” After Charity heard it, she stood up to see him off.
"Not at all."
Max hung up the call.
The next morning, after Charity finished her breakfast, she drove out of the neighborhood. At that time, the security officer at the entrance suddenly stopped her. "Miss Robbins, a courier sent you a parcel."
Charity was momentarily dazed. She remembered that she had not bought anything online recently. Could it be a friend who sent her something?
"Please pass it to me.”
The security officer took a parcel from the booth and handed it to her.
Charity took out the item from the parcel, which turned out to be a blue memory card.
After parking her car at the roadside, she inserted the memory card into her laptop again. It was also a video of Janee Hotel’s scandal. However, it showed a girl being violently dragged into a room while she was walking along the corridor...
The timestamp of the video was 10th March, 8:00 p.m.
