Chapter 145: The Second Brandi
York Charlie looked at Blanche Capra, a light smile hanging on her lips. Blanche Capra also looked at York Charlie, but her angry eyes gradually became a little uncomfortable, the two eyes meet, the slightest charming atmosphere rises up.
Just when York Charlie wanted to lean closer to her, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
York Charlie answered the phone with some distress, he looked at it was Shireen Miller calling, he was going to refuse to answer, but he thought that the Miller family side of the matter has not yet been resolved, and the most important thing is why Blanche Capra will be trapped, he did not have a clue to find out, he felt that he could start from Shireen Miller. Shireen Miller to start with.
“Speak.” York Charlie didn’t want to talk to her much, especially not in front of Blanche Capra.
Shireen Miller was pleasantly surprised York Charlie actually answered her call, which made her feel more confident about what she was going to say next, “I made some food, is it okay if I meet you at the office?”
York Charlie cringed instantly and refused without thinking, “No.”
It was so quiet in the office that Blanche Capra could vaguely hear that it was Shireen Miller’s voice, and then a sneer crossed his face when he saw that York Charlie had to keep an eye on him even when he was on the phone, afraid that he would run away. She still hadn’t settled her score with him for tangling with Shireen Miller! What was going on now? So blatant?
The more Blanche Capra thought about it, the angrier she got and pushed York Charlie’s hand on her arm away and turned to leave.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
York Charlie was quick to stop her, “Where are you going?”
Shireen Miller on the other end of the phone was talking, York Charlie suddenly just out of the blue, or said an irrelevant sentence, Shireen Miller immediately reacted to him beside someone else, and … her intuition told her that that person is Blanche Capra without a doubt.
At this time Shireen Miller again heard a cold voice on the other end of the phone ringing, “Where I go is none of your business?”
Shireen Miller was there, her grip on the phone tightened, her teeth biting her lower lip, her eyes raging with hatred, as if she wanted to eat someone alive.
York Charlie’s brow rose in displeasure, his tone containing a warning, “You’re not going anywhere!”
Blanche Capra snorted, “Why should I listen to you? Lock me up for the rest of my life if you can! I’m free to go wherever I want, York Charlie, you’re being overbearing!”
Blanche Capra went to struggle, but York Charlie’s grip on her was so tight that she felt pain and anger, and in her anger, she used her free right hand to hit him, and the burns on the back of her hand suddenly ached.
She cursed under her breath, “York Charlie! You’re a bastard! Robber! What kind of business or syndicate are you still in? You might as well go and become a burning, murdering, robbing, and unrelenting villain!”
York Charlie let her hit him a few times, he didn’t care what she cursed out of her mouth, she always cursed him when she got angry anyway! Then he finally remembered something, directly threw away the mobile phone in his hand, grabbed her right hand that was pounding and waving, and said in a deep voice, “Don’t move! Do you still want your hand?”
She was hitting without any rules, and some of the ointment had rubbed onto his clothes. It was evident that her burns had been hit as well. Blanche Capra had both hands in York Charlie’s grasp, and she twisted and turned trying to wrench his hands away, but to no avail, instead it looked like she was jumping up and down like a clown.
Blanche Capra stopped and glared at the man across from her with anger in her eyes. And the man across from her looked at her with displeasure. Neither of them had a good look in their eyes, and they stood that way for a few moments in silent confrontation.
Shireen Miller was already on her way to York Charlie’s office when she called him, she knew that York Charlie had to work overtime tonight, she called ahead just to probe his mood before she appeared in front of him, after all, she had always been a bit panicked when facing York Charlie.
Since it was Valentine’s Day, she made chocolates with her own hands and wanted to go and give them to him in person.
But she hadn’t expected that Blanche Capra would actually be by his side at such a late hour. The two of them, did they happen to be working overtime at the same time, or who intentionally stayed behind? Shireen Miller thought of this and immediately asked the driver to speed up, she had to get there early before anything happened to the two of them.
Shireen Miller’s mind was now reeling. On the phone, she heard Blanche Capra actually talk to York Charlie like that, not only the tone of voice is not good, but also scolded him, Shireen Miller heard her heart jumping, who in this world dares to do this to York Charlie ah? Who in the world would dare to do that to York Charlie?
Shireen Miller couldn’t help the cynicism in her heart at the thought that the only person who would dare was Blanche Capra. Who was she? A bully? If she hadn’t shown up, she, Shireen Miller, would have been the one who was the bully!
Shireen Miller was shocked when York Charlie suddenly slammed the phone down. She wondered if York Charlie was finally getting angry, and it would be strange for him not to be angry when Blanche Capra was treating him like that, scolding him like that, wouldn’t it? Shireen Miller thought that if she rushed over there and appeared in time to comfort York Charlie who was in a bad mood, maybe York Charlie would have a good feeling towards her.
By the time Shireen Miller arrived at the Charlie Group, York Charlie had already taken the initiative to end the silent confrontation with Blanche Capra, and he calmly let go of one of Blanche Capra’s hands, then reached out to her with his own free hand.
Blanche Capra subconsciously took a step backwards, “What are you doing?”
York Charlie didn’t say a word and continued to reach forward, but reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out an ointment. Blanche Capra watched in a bit of a daze as he picked up his right hand and watched as he carefully applied another layer of the ointment to herself. This time, she actually didn’t feel any pain at all, and even the cool sensation of the ointment disappeared into nothingness as all of her nerves centred on the inside of her palms and the inside of her wrists, the places that his hands had touched.
The tingling spread all the way up her entire arm.
Her perceptions felt like she was in a secret place, where everything in the secret place was unspeakable, yet felt unreal. Suddenly, a low, mellow voice broke in, “Will you marry me?”
Blanche Capra woke up instantly, the cold colours of the office came back to life, and it was only at this time that she realised that York Charlie across the room was suddenly shorter, and that he was he was down on one knee, saying to her, “Will you marry me?”
The voice that was only said once but echoed in her ears repeatedly.
Blanche Capra saw this scene, suddenly a little froze, her thoughts flew to a long time ago, she loved to read the romance novels and idol dramas that all girls love, in which the male protagonist had once proposed to the female protagonist in this way, a long time ago that she had also longed for countless times, especially after she and York Charlie together.
But then, he himself broke all her fantasies. He made her realise what is the reality of life.
There was a very slight “click” and Blanche Capra looked down to see a black velvet box in York Charlie’s hand, in which was nestled a polished silver solitaire ring.
There seemed to be some other detail that she couldn’t make out, and she didn’t want to look any further, immediately withdrawing her hand with force, her frozen look suddenly changing to a cold smile as she said, word for word, “No good, I don’t want to be a second Brandi.”
