Chapter 83 Dinner with Charles
Leila came over for an interview in the afternoon. Autumn wanted to give her a chance. She couldn’t forget how much Leila helped her when she was employed by Cloud Advertising Company. Moreover, it was because of Autumn that Leila lost her job.
If Autumn remembered correctly, Leila was a graduate from a very prestigious university. Moreover, she was professionally competent and hard working. The opportunity was right in front of Leila. The only question was whether she would be smart enough to seize it or not.
If Leila didn’t do well in the interview, there was nothing more that Autumn could do for her.
After the interview got over, Leila called Autumn cheerfully. She told Autumn that she had passed the interview and had to start to work next week. Autumn congratulated her with a big smile.
“Ye, you are being so nice to me! Can I treat you with dinner tonight?” Leila was so excited that she would be working as Charles’s secretary in Shining Company.
“No, Leila. It is not important” Autumn said no in the sweetest way possible. She further added, “Remember, work hard! Shining Company, unlike Cloud Advertising Company, is a very big company. You should work more and talk less.”
“I get it.” Leila said yes in a serious tone.
However till this moment, Autumn didn’t realize that the story of “the Farmer and the Snake” existed in the real world too.
Autumn selected some other alternatives. But when she was about to go off duty, Yvonne broke in and dashed into Charles’s office.
“Miss Ye, the boss is busy right now. You can’t go in now…” David blocked Yvonne’s path. When Charles was in hospital, she used to come here every day. Even David could tell her intention. Charles was finally back to work now.
Yvonne stared coldly at David and commanded, “Get out of my way! I’m Charles’s sister-in-law. How dare you stand in my way?”
“Miss Ye, you are giving me a hard time. Don’t take it personally. Even if Mrs. Lu were here, I wouldn’t have let her in.” David stated calmly and thought to himself, ‘Mrs. Lu is not as willful as you are.’
“You…” Yvonne went mad. It took a long time for her to calm down. She then ran to Autumn. The moment Autumn saw Yvonne, she felt sick, “Why are you here again?”
“I booked a table at the Red Rose Restaurant tonight. Tell Charles to come there alone!” Yvonne was not sure whether Charles would come or not. But with Autumn’s help, she could be certain that Charles would come.
“No!” Autumn replied with curt finality. She added, “Charles hasn’t yet recovered from his wound. So, he’s definitely not up for meaningless socializing.”
“Oh, cut the crap! Don’t you dare forget that Charles was hurt because of you! If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have been injured in the first place.” Yvonne sneered, “I’m warning you, if I don’t see him at the restaurant tonight, you would never be able to see your grandma again. ”
“By the way, ” Yvonne walked to the door, but suddenly turned around and spoke to Autumn, “Mom said she would arrange your meeting with your grandma. But if you…”
“Charles will be there.” Autumn immediately made a promise. The moment she heard about the possible meeting with her grandma, she couldn’t help but accept the deal.
Autumn hadn’t seen her grandma for over a month. She was naturally very worried about her. “Don’t tell your mom. I will ask Charles to be there.”
Autumn shouted back at Yvonne. She was too anxious to keep a low pitch. After all, Linda had already gone off duty, so she didn’t have to worry about being heard by anyone else.
Yvonne smiled with satisfaction. Soon after Yvonne left, Charles walked out of his office. Seeing Autumn waiting for him at the door, he couldn’t help but smile, “Let’s go to the market.”
Before he knew Autumn, he’d never thought that he could enjoy something as boring as going to the market and buying vegetables. He felt a certain degree of warmth, a homely feeling, when he would see Autumn selecting the daily necessities. While Autumn would do that, he would walk hand in hand with her.
“Charles…” Autumn hesitated. She grabbed Charles’s hand and said, “I have something to tell you…”
“What’s the matter?” Charles gave Autumn a confused look. Autumn paused for a long time. Thinking about her grandma, she gathered some courage and said, “Charles, my sister Autumn said that she booked a table at the Red Rose Restaurant. She wanted to invite…”
“No!” Charles interrupted Autumn.
“Charles, she wants to thank you.” Autumn was saying all of this against her own will. She didn’t want Charles to go there, but she had no other choice.
“She invited you to dinner last time, but you couldn’t go because of that accident. She waited for more than three hours at the restaurant, just to thank you. Could you please go and oblige her this time?” Autumn put in a good word for Yvonne, but she felt pretty awful on the inside.
“Why do you want me to go there so badly?” Charles asked with a frown.
“It’s just a dinner…” Autumn muttered.
Charles fixated his eyes on Autumn and saw her struggling expression. He realized that Autumn was threatened again, so he nodded, “Fine, I’ll go there. But… you are coming with me.”
“No! She only invited you…” Autumn was anxious, but Charles put his foot down.
“Why do you always listen to her?” Charles frowned, “I’m your husband. Do you think it’s appropriate for me to have dinner with my sister-in-law alone? What if people see us? What will they think? Anyway, if you are not coming with me today, I won’t have dinner with her.”
“But…”
“No but! You can sit and have dinner at a nearby table. She has no right to forbid you from eating at that restaurant.” Charles grabbed Autumn’s hand and walked towards the door, “Hurry up!”
Autumn had no other choice but to go to the restaurant with Charles.
Yvonne arrived at the restaurant early to wait for Charles. Her brown curly hair went long down the shoulders. She wore a low-cut red silk dress and sat casually at a table beside the window. Her long legs attracted the attention of countless men passing by.
When Charles and Autumn arrived, Yvonne saw them through the window. She furrowed his brow. She had warned Autumn not to come, but Autumn was here now.
“Charles, I don’t want to go in there. I’ll wait for you in the car, okay?” Autumn got nervous when they reached the restaurant gate.
“Okay.” Charles smiled and added, “I’m coming back with you.”
Hearing Charles’s words, Autumn had no choice but to follow him. Seeing Charles, Yvonne stood up and gave him a seductive smile, “Charles, Yvonne, here you are.”
