Magdalen gently pushed him away, a soft smile playing on her lips. “Antonia just rang for you. I answered.”
Morrison raised an eyebrow, his expression hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses. “What did she want?” “She
wanted you to accompany her to the charity concert this weekend, Magdalen said casually.
“And what did you say? Morrison asked.
Magdalen smirked, “I told her we’d both go with her. We could even get some banners to cheer her on
Morrison chuckled, “Sounds good”
“Yeah, I thought so too. But she didn’t seem too thrilled and hung up rather quickly, Magdalen said, her eyes
narrowing into a playful smile. Morrison didn’t say anything in response. Instead, he murmured, “If she doesn’t

Then he leaned in to kiss Magdalen
She pushed him away again, “I haven’t freshened up yet.”
“I kissed you this moming already,” Morrison mumbled, pulling her back into bed without any further discussion.
It rained throughout the weekend, only letting up on Monday.
In the afternoon, Charlie returned home, heading towards his apartment building when he heard someone call out,
“Mr. James!
Turning, Charlie saw an old man with white hair standing a few meters away, smiling obsequiously at him. “Mr.
James, do you remember me?”
Charlie looked at the man and it suddenly clicked.
Shawn was Emily’s father. They’d met once at The Royal Mansion where he had swindled Charlie out of ten
thousand dollars, causing Emily to lose her temper
Three years had passed, and the aging Shawn looked different. Charlie almost didn’t recognize him.
Shawn took a few respectful steps forward, “Mr. James, Im Emily’s father. We’ve met before.”
Charlie nodded, “Are you looking for Emily?”
Shawn quickly waved his hands, “No, no, I came to see you”
Charlie, ever the gracious gentleman, smiled and said, “Alright, let’s talk inside
“No, no need,” Shawn said, staring at the luxurious high-rise building. “Let’s just talk here. It won’t take long”
Charlie instructed Kent to park the car before turning to Shawn with a warm smile. What can I do for you?”
Shawn was deferential in his tone, “Mr. James, I know you and Emily are friends. I was hoping you could help me

to do”
Charlie asked, “Emily mentioned that you haven’t been in J City for a while. When did you return?”
Shawn quickly replied, “I returned almost a week ago. I’m staying with Emily for now.”
Charlie’s gaze flickered, and he nodded, “Does Emily know you’re here to see me?”
“She doesn’t. She told me not to bother you, Shawn said with an awkward laugh.
“Emily told me you used to be a chef, even a head chef at a five star restaurant. It shouldn’t be hard for you to find
work, Charlie said.
A look of embarrassment crossed Shawn’s face, “I made some mistakes in the past few years. I borrowed money
from old bosses and friends and ruined my reputation. No one wants to hire me now”
Charlie nodded slowly, “And now, you’ve decided to turn over a new leaf?”
“Yes, yes” Shawn nodded eagerly, 1 regret what I’ve done. My wife and son disowned me, and Emily hates me. I
wouldn’t have come back if I hadn’t run out of options I was hoping you could help me find a job. I want to work
hard and ear my living without causing any trouble for Emily”
