NovelEnglishAt noon the next day. 1
Charlie and Claire went to the Maple Hotel by car.
The Maple Hotel was not the most expensive in Aurous Hill, but it was among the most exclusive and luxurious in
town, indicating Douglas's sincerity in treating them. 5
In fact, he spent quite lavishly on this meal as he had booked the premium dining suite in the hotel. It was
luxuriously decorated and was spacious enough to accommodate twenty people with the minimum spending of
seven to eight thousand dollars. 2
Many people had already arrived in the suite when Charlie and Claire arrived. Besides Douglas and Doreen, there
were also a few college mates.
Doreen hadn't had a good tlately. 1

She had cto Aurous Hill from Eastcliff for stnow for the main purpose of getting to know the
chairman of Emgrand Group. However, she had never had a chance to even see the man himself after working
for so long in the company. 3
Moreover, although she had gotten to stay in the office when she was the administrative director, after she was
transferred to the sales department, she had spent less and less tin the office which critically reduced her
chances of meeting the chairman. 6
However, she had stumbled into another dilemma now. She had been obsessed with the mysterious man ever
since she was rescued by him the other day. If truth be told, she even felt as though she had fallen in love with
him at first sight. Hence, her desire to meet the chairman was not as great as before, and on the contrary, she
was more eager to meet her savior. 3
Yet, she would never have guessed that the chairman of Emgrand Group and her mysterious savior was actually
the sguy-Charlie. 2
As Charlie and Claire walked into the suite, Douglas rose to his feet quickly and greeted them, "Hey, buddy!
Claire! Welcome! Come, have a seat." 1
Douglas greeted the couple very respectfully. His heart brimmed with admiration and appreciation toward this
good buddy of his.
Doreen looked a little haggard and depressed as she held a lot of secrets inside her. When she saw Claire,
suddenly, she had the urge to spill the beans. 1
She barged forward, and holding onto Claire's wrists, she said weakly, "Claire, come, sit with me. | want to tell
you something."
Claire replied with a warm smile, "What is it? What happened to you? Why do you look so listless?"
Doreen sighed. "It's all because of my mysterious savior! You know what, | think I've fallen in love with him! | see
him everywhere... Whenever | close my eyes, | see him. He is even in my dreams, but | can't find him! What
should I do..."

"Umm... | don't know how, either..." Claire shrugged helplessly. Ever since Loreen had been rescued by that
mysterious guy, she had wanted to find him and marry him, but where and how could you find a guy amongst
the crowd of people? That was like finding a needle in a haystack. 2
Cold sweat drenched Charlie's forehead as he listened to the ladies' conversation. Had Loreen truly fallen in love
with him? That was preposterous! He could never ever let Loreen know that he was her savior, otherwise, all hell
would break loose! 4
After a few drinks and a hefty meal, Douglas stood up, beginning to liven up the atmosphere. "Guys, thank you
all for coming today! | would like to make a toast t 0 you all! Cheers!" 1 Then, he drank bottoms-up.
A few of them who were quite close to him also yelled, "Cheers!"
Charlie smiled lightly and took a sip from his wine glass.
"Douglas, | heard that you are a big boss now, with the fancy new restaurant of yours and two million in cash in
your hands. In fact, you know someone from the underworld, don't you? You must look after us in the future." 3
A coquettish woman dressed in enchanting clothes with heavy makeup on her face smiled charmingly.
