Charlie sighed with a saddened expression. He then turned around and bought some small Hermes items from the counter as the accompanying products. After matching up to $500,000, he swiped his card to checkout and carried the bunch of Hermes gift boxes out of the shop and headed to the VIP lounge. 7
As soon as Charlie arrived at the VIP lounge, Loreen was already waiting for him inside.
Seeing Charlie walking into the lounge with all those Hermes bags, Loreen couldn't help but feel a little jealous as she spoke. "I was wondering why I didn't see you when I arrived. Now I know where you've been. Seems like someone is busying shopping at Hermes. Are these presents for Claire?" 6
Charlie nodded very naturally. "I'm finally here in the big city of Eastcliff, so of course I'll have to buy some souvenirs for my wife.”
Loreen curled her lips and said. "Charlie...! realized that you have a lot of secrets. Quinn Golding is a superstar and her autograph, once placed on an online platform, can fetch up to a few thousand dollars. You've known her since you were little and you've never found the need to raise this?"
Charlie said dully, "How could I bring up her name for my own glory? Wouldn’t that betray the kindness her family has showered upon me?"
Loreen nodded slightly and replied. "That...is true..." 5
As they were conversing, she suddenly wanted to know some gossip, so she asked, "So, does Claire know that you and the superstar are acquainted?" i
Charlie shook his head and replied. "Of course not. I didn't inform anyone of this matter. It was just that I didn't expect you to spot us yesterday at Herrolls Bay. Otherwise, I'm quite sure you wouldn’t have known it too." 8
Loreen replied happily. "Since now that I've known some information about you that even Claire doesn't know, does this mean that our relationship has risen t o another level?” s
Charlie helplessly said, "What nonsense are you thinking? I've already mentioned that it was coincidental that you saw that."
Loreen snorted softly. "Whether coincidental or not, I still got to know one more secret about you!" s
