Chapter 143: So, Who Won?

The billiard room where Charlie decided to play was neither near nor far from the film set. It required a few minutes by car, or over ten minutes on foot.

Nancy was familiar with the location, and her anxiety to see Charlie made her sprint down the narrow path without hesitation.

The room swung open before her eyes, revealing an empty space, save for the pool table and a single person Charlie was leaning against the pool table. Hearing her voice, he gently lifted his eyelids, a warmth in his eyes instantly landing on Nancy's face. Seeing her wide-eyed and panting heavily, he chuckled lowly and straightened his body.
