Chapter 344
What are you watching? It’s not something you shouldn’t be looking at, right?
Anthony’s brows drew together. His hand, resting on the back of the seat, slid down to Charlotte’s waist and gave her a gentle squeeze. He leaned in a little, his voice soft. “What are you watching?”
Charlotte hadn’t expected the video to suddenly jump to that scene. The couple tangled up on the screen made her lashes flutter, but she kept her face calm as she quickly closed it out. “Nothing.”
Her cheeks flushed a bright pink. Anthony noticed right away. He dipped his head, his lips close to her ear as he whispered, “Are you thirsty?”
His warm breath brushed her neck, and that deep, magnetic voice of his sent a shiver through her. Why did he have to sound so tempting, just to ask a simple question?
Charlotte edged away from him, cheeks still burning. She shut off the video and opened up the movie script Adonis had sent her, pretending to focus. She scrolled through a few scenes. The movie clips looked great, and the lines were sharp. With the right voice actors, it would definitely blow up.
Anthony watched her squirm, his lips curling into a small smile. He picked up her thermos, poured out half a cup of water, let it cool, and held it to her lips. The whole time, Charlotte didn’t have to lift a finger.
In the corner, Andrew was watching everything, so shocked he almost dropped his phone. Anthony, the CEO of Blair Group, the guy everyone was afraid of, was here acting like an attentive boyfriend to a girl half his size. Who would ever believe this? Charlotte really was something else. Not only did she win Anthony over, she had him trained to be this loyal.
Noticing Andrew’s awestruck stare, Charlotte smirked and tossed him a pack of cookies. “Eat up.”
“Thanks, Charlotte,” Andrew said, touched.
“There’s still a bit of a drive. You’ll need energy for the lecture you’re about to get,” she teased.
Andrew was speechless. He quietly took back everything he’d just thought.
Watching Andrew’s helpless look, Anthony’s smile deepened. He spoke quietly, “She’s right. We’ve got a while. If you get tired, just lean on me.”
“Okay.” Charlotte didn’t hesitate. She curled up against Anthony, pressing her cheek to his chest His warmth, the steady thump of his heart, made her feel safe and content.
Anthony pulled a thin blanket over her shoulders, making sure she was comfortable
before turning to look at Andrew, his gaze suddenly icy.
“Anthony, I’ll give it my all these next two months,” Andrew promised, holding the
cookies. Watching them together made his snack lose all flavor.
“Keep your voice down.” Anthony glanced at Charlotte, lowering his own voice too. “You’re staying at my place tonight. Temorrow, I’ll take you straight to school.”
Anthony was actually inviting him over? Andrew felt a little moved.
“It’s a hassle to drop you off. This way’s easier.” Anthony’s voice softened as he held Charlotte’s hand.
Andrew’s smile froze. Any gratitude vanished instantly.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Imperial Heights. Andrew sprang out, wanting to open the door for them and make himself useful, but Hans was already on it, moving fast and pulling the door open. “Anthony. Charlotte.”
