As Charlie looked at Marianne for the first time, he felt that this girl was much more beautiful compared to how she looked in her photos.
What Charlie saw on the documents were all the girl’s ID photos. Marianne was wearing glasses in her ID photos, and she was not smiling. She looked a little more delicate and beautiful, but she was far from being stunning.
At this moment, however, Marianne, who was in front of him, was slender and tall with fair and rosy skin. Her facial features without makeup had the charm of a classical Oskian beauty. She had a long ponytail, and it seemed as though she was an angel that had fallen into this neighborhood and was the top version of the girl-next-door.
Marianne's dressing was very simple. She was wearing an ordinary dress with a simple pair of black sandals coupled with an unbranded shoulder bag. Such casual dressing actually brought out her extraordinary temperament to an even greater height.
Charlie really did not expect that a fat man like Shawn could actually have such a beautiful daughter who was like a fairy. Judging from Marianne's features, Shawn's genes had hardly had any effect on her.
Right then, Marianne simply glanced at Charlie nonchalantly and said casually," Hello, Mr. Wade."
Having said that, she did not wait for Charlie's response, and she spoke to Shawn directly, "Didn’t you ask me to come back for a meal? Please hurry up. I have something on in the afternoon, and I cannot be delayed for too long."
Shawn was annoyed by Marianne’s attitude, and he blurted out, "What kind of attitude is this?! Mr. Wade is our distinguished guest, and he is new to Hong Kong. I was planning to ask you to help me entertain Mr. Wade and take him around Hong Kong in the afternoon!"
Marianne refused without hesitation and said, "No. I've already told you that I have something on in the afternoon. Since he's your guest, why don't you entertain him yourself?!"
Shawn said angrily, "I thought that it would be more appropriate for you to entertain Mr. Wade since the both of you are about the same age!” "I don’t have the time!" Marianne said angrily, "I'm already back since you asked me to come back for lunch. Please stop it and don’t get ahead of yourself!"
Shawn retorted coldly, "Is this the kind of attitude that you should have when you talk to your father?!”
