Chapter 24 Are You Afraid I'll Swallow You Alive?
Nancy was scared by his gaze. Her heart beat wildly. "C-Char..."
Charlie's eyes narrowed abruptly, emitting a perilous gleam.. Nancy hurriedly corrected herself "D-Darling, why are you looking at me like this?"
The menace in his eyes subsided, yet Charlie's gaze remained somewhat unnerving. "She wants to switch with you?"
Nancy originally wanted to tease him. But under his terrifying gaze, even if she had a hundred times more courage, she wouldn't dare to tease him again.
This man simply couldn't be joked with!
She could only confess, "No, no, it's now because Vanes invites her to endorse a product, and the only requirement is to perform a 180-degree turn in the ad. She doesn't know how to do it, so she still needs me to replace her..." Charlie stared at her intently, trying to discern the truth from her expression. After a few seconds, he coldly turned his face and stepped on the accelerator. The car started moving again.
With the crisis over, Nancy patted her chest with lingering fear. She felt puzzled. If Vivian really wanted to switch with her, shouldn't Charlie be happy?
Why was he so fierce just now?
While Nancy was pondering, Charlie's lips curled up with a subtle arc.
After a while, Charlie asked, "I saw that you were in a good mood when you came out. Was it because of this?"
Nancy blinked in confusion and turned her head to look at him, "Because of what?"
Charlie glanced at her sideways while driving, a faint curve hanging on the corner of his mouth, "Vivian won't switch with you. You can continue being Mrs. Firth?"
No matter how Nancy looked at it, she felt like he seemed a bit smug..
She bit her lip and coldly snorted, "It's not true!"
Charlie didn't say anything, but the curve on the corner of his mouth deepened slightly.
"I am telling the truth!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Nancy pouted, feeling annoyed, "It's because Vivian promised to take me to see my father tomorrow. That's why I was happy. It's not at all like what you said!" Charlie raised an eyebrow, and a glint flashed across his eyes, "Then when you go tomorrow, drive the car I gave you."
Looking at him, Nancy blinked her eyes. He said earlier that there was a tracker in that car, and he asked her to drive it... Was he worried about her?
...
At 9 am, Nancy arrived at the gate of Vivian's villa in the sports car that Charlie had given her. After a few honks, she sat quietly in the car, waiting.
She waited for a full half an hour before Vivian leisurely walked down.
Her gaze landed on the sports car, and an undisguised tinge of jealousy flashed in Vivian's eyes.
She approached and knocked on Nancy's car window with an extremely bad attitude, "Get out!"
Nancy frowned, displeased with Vivian's tone. But she needed something from Vivian right now, so she couldn't afford to put on airs like before. She could only open the car door and get out. Just as she got out of the car, another car drove out of the parking lot and stopped beside them.
Vivian opened the car door and got in. A glance at Nancy who was still standing by the car door, she said impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Get in!"
Nancy didn't expect Vivian to let her get on her car. This would make Charlie's request for her to drive the car with GPS pointless.
Seeing her still standing there, Vivian sneered and curled her lips, "What, afraid I am going to swallow you alive, so you don't dare to get in?"
