Charis had been busy dealing with the Larson Group's affairs ever since she returned from abroad.
She put herself under a lot of pressure just to impress Brandon and transform herself into a better partner for him.
Now, she hoped that Kent would work his charm and win Janet's heart.
A week had passed. Charis didn't know what was going on between Kent and Janet. She wanted to know if things were going according to plan.
Charis had faith in Kent. He was a charmer. When they were still in college, almost all the girls from their class were attracted to him. After all, Kent was a handsome and wealthy man who wouldn't mind spending money for his girlfriends.
Besides, Janet was an ordinary woman. Therefore, she believed it wouldn't be difficult for Kent to win her over.
Charis immediately called Kent and asked him to have dinner with her at a nearby restaurant.
Kent arrived an hour late. He walked into the restaurant, looking tired and grumpy.
"Why do you look upset? Is something wrong?" Charis was good at reading people's minds. She chuckled to lighten his mood.
However, she was actually a bit surprised. Judging by the look on his face, she could tell he hadn't succeeded yet.
"The girl you mentioned last time is a tough cookie." Kent pulled a chair and sat down, massaging his temples.
"What? You failed to win her heart?" Charis took a sip of water and silently examined his face.
"I tried every possible means, but that woman is a hard nut to crack." Kent picked up the menu and flipped across the pages. Then, he snorted and threw it back on the table. "But it doesn't matter, you know. She is quite cute."
Charis's lips curled up. She was glad to know that Kent was still interested in Janet.
