My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 588

I nodded and as I wiped the corner of my lips.

I looked at the time and realized that it was already one thirty in the afternoon. I looked towards him and said, "Thank you for the meal. It's getting late, I must get back to work."

I then got up and walked out of the restaurant.

I was not being indifferent, nor was I deliberately pushing him away. I had always believed in letting bygones be bygones.

He followed me out, saying, "I'll send you back."

I nodded; I didn't refuse because it was not easy hailing a taxi in HovelL

He remained quiet even after getting into the car.

Seeing that I would not be the first to speak, he said, "I'll deal with Cecil, so you won't have to worry about that. Just focus on your work."

I frowned and said, "No need!" Since I had called Uncle Charles, I did not want him dealing with these trivial things.

Besides, Charles had been investigating corruption cases in different regions for the past few years. I was just making use of the opportunity.

He narrowed his eyes but did not say anything.

I thanked him again when we arrived at the hotel.

He nodded and remained gentle and refined.

Charles got here very quickly. It was five in the afternoon when he arrived at the hotel. Perhaps he came so suddenly, so the county executive and several city leaders nearby also arrived one after another an hour after his arrival.

Some of the upper class residents also made an appearance. Evidently, Charles did not intend to hide his arrival.

He simply said a few reserved words and instructed people around him to conduct an investigation on the country executive. The others were sent away by him.

He sighed slightly while looking at me, "You've lost weight again."
