Theresa asked, confused, “Do I have to tell him? I like where we are.”
“You’d better tell him sooner if you want to be with him. Charlie can stand up now. What are you worried about?
You should be honest with each other, right?” Roderick was worried about them.
Theresa bowed her head. “Since Charlie is getting better, I don’t think I should pester him.”
Roderick froze. “Why?”
“He used to be nice to me because he couldn’t stand up and he didn’t have anyone else around. He always thought
he could stand up because of me, but you know I was just lucky.” Theresa felt that any acupuncturist would have
cured Charlie but he credited her and took care of her.

Theresa chuckled. “You’re both from big families! Would you like a woman like me?”
Roderick was mesmerized by her smile. He blinked for a moment and averted his gaze. “I don’t know.”
“Is it true that Charlie has always been picky?”
“Yes,” Roderick said, “he’s had a lot of suitors since he was a kid, but they say he doesn’t like women because he’s
too picky.”
“So why did he choose me?” Theresa muttered, staring at the billboard on the wall.
Roderick didn’t say anything. He wasn’t Charlie and couldn’t say anything on his behalf.
Soon Old Mr. Calsis came out. The two of them stopped talking and took him to another examination room.
At noon, Charlie finished his meeting and came out of the elevator just in time to see Sarah standing outside.
Both he and Jonathan were surprised.
Seeing him, Sarah didn’t walk away as she had done before. “Charlie.”
Charlie looked at her with one hand in his pocket. “Yes?”
“Guess what I’m doing here?” Sarah bit her lip and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Charlie glanced at Jonathan.
Jonathan understood what he meant. “Ms. Cameron, you’re not welcome here. Please leave.”
Sarah ignored Jonathan and teased Charlie, “Do you think I’m here to see you? I’m here to talk about work. My
company has been doing well lately. I’ve decided to pick an artist in your company to be the spokesperson. It’s a
rare opportunity for your artists, right?”

Cameron’s Group was hot right now. People were still snapping up their products. If they announced a
spokesperson at this point, it would be a win-win situation.
Charlie turned to Jonathan. “Why should we work with such a terrible company?”
Jonathan nodded. “I’ll deal with it.”
Sarah could tell that Charlie despised her. “Charlie, are you still angry? I know I was wrong. Look, I’m here now.
You’re a shareholder in my company. It’s in your interest that I pick a spokesperson from your company.
Come on, if you’re still angry because of what happened before, I apologize to you. How about I buy you dinner?”
Many people gathered around while they were talking.
“Isn’t that Sarah?”
