Chapter 15

Author: Seeking A Peaceful Life
The unmistakable masculine scent from Anthony entered her nostrils and occupied her senses. With her heart picking up the pace, Charmine was angry and embarrassed altogether.

‘Ugh! Nial must’ve done it on purpose!’ she fumed internally.

Just as she was about to lash out, she heard Chris from the passenger seat, his voice pleading as he spoke, “Sorry, Mommy, please bear with us. Uncle Nial likes drifting, you see. He was an F1 racer last year.”

“Nial, please drive carefully. This is a highway, not a racing track,” Anthony huffed in a low and authoritative tone.

Charmine’s voice was lodged in her throat when she heard him. Anthony then held Charmine by her arms and—with a much gentler and concerned voice—said, “Are you hurt?”

He had a genuinely concerned face, and Charmine thought she was overthinking things again. She pulled herself up and distanced herself in an instant. “I’m fine,” she replied as she held tightly onto a handler in the van, securing herself.

With such a strong grip, no more turns could make her fall... At least that was what she thought before the van made another sharp left turn out of the blue.

Skrreeek!

Proud Charmine successfully prevented her fall this time, but it was not the case for Anthony. He fell onto her this time, and he intentionally grabbed onto her dress for stability.

Rip!

The cloth at her waist was torn out, and that side of her waist was exposed.

“Anthony Bailey!” Charmine yelled his name through her gritted teeth. She could not take it anymore!

The van then came to a stop.

“Miss Jordan, you’ve reached your destination,” Nial announced as he turned to look back, guilty of the situation he caused. “I’m so sorry. I’m really sorry! Once I get my hands on the steering wheel, I just can’t help but drift.”

“Uncle Nial, I’ve told you so many times to get rid of this habit! This isn’t the first time you tossed Daddy in the air!” Chris told Nial off, crawling to the backseat to help Anthony. “Daddy, are you alright?”

“Fine.”

Anthony regained his balance and fixed his crumpled suit before he looked at Charmine with genuine concern. “Miss Jordan, I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused. I’ll buy you the exact same dress to show my sincere apology. For now, cover yourself with this.” He put on a spare white shirt on Charmine. His voice, though masculine in itself, was gentle and caring as he addressed her.

Charmine swung her fist as though she wanted to hit him, but she pulled it back before it could even graze Anthony. Chris seemed innocent, Nial appeared guilty, and the handsome Anthony had his serious face on. They seemed as clueless as she was.

Certainly, a man like Anthony was unlikely to pull on such tricks…

“No need. Thanks for the lift, but don’t bother about my dress. Treat it as my pay for petrol.” Charmine went off the van swiftly.

Anthony, however, had a different thought in mind. “I don’t owe people, especially if it’s a woman,” he abruptly spoke up. “It’s better if we keep things clear. I’ll bring you a new dress myself.”

Charmine almost tripped over as she got out of the van. She did not want him to buy her a new dress, nor did she want to ever see him again. However, if she rejected his offer, it would seem as if she wanted him to owe her something. Not worth the trouble, it was better if she ran away.

It was only after she was far out of sight when Anthony finally looked at Chris and Nial, his eyebrows raised with a knowing smile. “Alright, what do you want?”

Nial demanded enthusiastically, “I need you to help me get out of all the pre-arranged blind dates set up by our family for one year!”

Chris, on the other hand, clapped joyously as he chirped, “I want you to marry Mommy and make me a sister!”

“Consider them done.”

    Charmine elegantly twisted to the opposite side and simultaneously tossed the silk cape upward. The long and flowy cape floated in the air—as though in slow-motion—before it wound around the metal frame above the stage into a knot. In a swift movement, Charmine pulled on the cape as her body swayed freely in the air. Like a choreographed dance, she flew above everyone else languidly and carefreely with the silk. Her skin-colored tulle dress fluttered as she floated in the air, while the cape whirled like tidal waves. The innumerable fireflies became her backdrop as she flew like a fey from a dreamy fairyland; stunningly beautiful, stunningly bewitching. Everyone watched as she glided above them, their breath taken away.Ineffable. Her dress swirled like the smoke of an enchanting dream. She was like a goddess that came from heaven that held captive the souls below her with a faint smile.With a smooth transition, she hooked her legs mid-air as she reached over to remove her sho

    A figure so ethereal slowly emerged to the stage.She appeared to be naked under the light, the shade and shape of her body all too noticeable: Long neck, paper-thin waist, and those elegant, long and straight legs! There was not a trace of excess fat on her body. It was as though she was a sculpture made in heaven. This was a figure of a natural supermodel.Still, was she genuinely naked? Did she choose to go on stage naked just to win?Anthony’s face darkened instantly as his hands instantly shot up to cover the boy’s and Nial’s eyes. A strange and unfamiliar feeling of anger arose in his chest, and his ears rang with the words Charmine had said to him, ‘Walking around the beach in a bikini.’Had she always been such an open-minded person?All the audience stared at her in bewilderment. Some even had the word ‘god’ comically appeared in their mouths.On the streaming platform, some commented, [OMG! We can report Chanel for streaming pornography, right?]However, it was onl

    The first to appear on the stage was a tall and slim Causasion supermodel. She was dressed in a tight-fitting black short skirt, complementing her alluring body shape. Blue-eyed with wavy blond hair cascading down her shoulders glamorously, it was the most famous supermodel from France, Michelle Kerry! Around her neck hung a red ruby necklace, and it came along with earrings and bracelets of the same series. This was Chanel’s latest collection named Passion. complemented by Michelle’s fiery temperament, it was seamlessly perfect! The audience was left awestruck by her beauty and they, along with the paparazzi, started taking photos of her. Thus began the hushed comments between attendees. “If a top supermodel like Michelle can only be the opening act, how great could Charmine be to make the final appearance?”“Who knows? Maybe she slept with the owner of Chanel!”“Even if she did sleep with the owner and made the final appearance with her body, can’t she be a little lay-low abo

    Time fleeted unnoticeably, and it was almost ten o’clock.“Get ready, everyone,” an assistant called out to the supermodels backstage. “Stand by the stage. It’s almost showtime!”The supermodels stood up to get in line according to their given number. Charmine was the last to appear on stage, thus it was not her turn for at least the next thirty minutes. She laid back languidly on her seat as she settled her mind.Outside, amid the huge space of Ocean Pearl, a tall T-stage was built in glass illusion, surrounded by chairs across its perimeters. The guests in the hall were the richest in the country, able to afford a ticket at a starting price of 20,000 dollars. Outside the hall, the standing tickets were as high as a thousand dollars. Most of the audience was looking forward to the show; some for the models while some for the jewelry. Of course, the one thing everyone was really looking forward to was Charmine Jordan and how she would ‘stun the world’ as she claimed to.On the righ

    At Ocean Pearl. It was only 9.30am, but guests had occupied the hall. With the bet between Charmine and Julian going on, everyone was keen to find out who Charmine was and how she would win. The ticket price went from a few thousand to twenty thousand per ticket due to the increasing demand. Even executives like Julian who was never seen in Burlington reserved front row seats. They were all supporters of Julian, wanting to find out what drove Charmine to place such a grand and risky bet against Julian.A dazzling back Hypersport pulled over at Ocean Pearl’s back door. Luke turned to Charmine and said, “Miss Jordan, I’m relaying a message from Mr. Bailey. He said that if you need anything, just say the word and he’d get it done.”“No, I don’t need it,” came her firm reply. “This is a small matter, and help is not needed.” Charmine got out of the car, but as she was about to shut the door, she added, “Right, help me to pass on to your Mr. Bailey. Ask him to spend more time with Momo,

    Tiffany was shocked with disbelief. Her face stiffened as she could barely contain her emotions, but she managed to hold herself together and forced a smile, asking, “Sir, I think you’ve made a mistake.”Charmine just returned to the country, and hardly anyone knew her. How would such a wealthy boss know her and send someone to pick her up?“No, I’ve not,” the chauffeur deadpanned. “I’m here to pick up Miss Jordan. Charmine Jordan,” he added, emphasizing ‘Charmine’ when he spoke. Disbelief, their gazes turned to Charmine as though in slow-motion.This car came for Charmine? She knew the car’s owner? Impossible! Tiffany’s face twisted into a shade beyond abhorrence. How could it be?As everyone was still frozen in shock, the man walked toward Charmine and bowed. “Miss Jordan, please.”Charmine walked over nonchalantly, her eyes judging the car. “Hmm... It’s not too bad, I’d give you that. However, there are only seven cars in the world, and that number is ominous. Also, black abs
