Chapter 321 It’s Friendship

I was momentarily at a loss for words. These two were adamant about inviting me out to dinner. I was worried that Charlie would be just like Idris and say I should not be skipping meals and whatnot, so I said into the phone, “How about this? I’ll treat you to dinner another day. My mother wants me to come home for dinner tonight. She’s been in Lorrell for a few days and has been anxious. She has a lot to tell me.”

It would be hard for him to refute such a reason. As expected, Charlie could not say anything

more.

His melodious voice came through the phone. “Alright, then let’s plan for another day.”

Before hanging up, I thanked him.

After ending the call, I had a bit of a headache. Maxwell, who was beside me, seemed like he was enjoying the spectacle. He looked at me and said, “You’re quite lucky when it comes to romantic prospects. Charlie Yates is a famous tycoon in Silvana. If you marry him, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.”

I rolled my eyes at him, speechless. “Do you like him? Should I introduce you to him so you can get to know him better?”

He was dumbfounded. “No! Why are you attacking me like this? Am I not stating facts? Besides, isn’t it normal for people to pursue each other? You’re not married, and he’s not married, so why are you afraid of what people might say?”

I pursed my lips and could not be bothered to argue with him. I calmly said, “Charlie and I don’t have that kind of relationship. The last time we were in Lorrell, he helped me out quite a lot. I consider him a friend, and he treats me as a friend too.”

Do you think I believe that, especially between a man and a woman? Yvette,
