Charlie ordered Porter to obtain the information regarding Kylie's real identity in their intelligence network. After that, he gave Kylie a call.
Kathleen had been waiting for Charlie to contact her. She wanted to please him, so she sent Jacob a brand new Rolls-Royce Cullinan and even gave Claire a huge project worth tens of millions.
She expected Charlie to at least call as a courteous gesture.
She answered the call at once. "Mr. Wade, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
Charlie told his reasons. "Ms. Jane. As I've said yesterday, you didn't have to pay for my Feng Shui readings. Why did you give my father-in-law a Cullinan? You're too generous to me. It made me embarrassed."
Charlie only said that as a polite exchange. In truth, he wasn’t embarrassed at all.
Kathleen answered, "Mr. Wade, please don't fret.
You're a great Feng Shui master. How can I not pay for your services? If I set a precedent, it may affect your further business. I’ll feel bad about that."
Kathleen then added, "You've mentioned it yourself as well. Friends should treat each other the way they would like to be treated themselves. I want to be
friends with a master like you, Mr. Wade."
Charlie chuckled. "You have a point. In that case, I won't worry about it anymore."
As he said that, he quickly changed his tune, "By the way, I hope Ms. Jane will allow me to treat you to dinner. Will it be convenient for you, Ms. Jane?"
Kathleen was elated to hear his invitation. She replied with little hesitation, "It’s my pleasure to have dinner with you. Anytime is fine with me."
Charlie decided happily, "Alright, then. Let's meet tonight. I'll message you once I’ve decided on a location."
Kathleen accepted his invitation cheerily. "Okay! I'll be waiting for your message."
Charlie said, "See you tonight.”
"Alright, you too."
