Chapter 23

Author: Seeking A Peaceful Life
Zoey wanted to fight back but Charmine had made her exit, her silver heels clicking against the corridor floor. Even the shadow of her back was straight, proud as it was.

Click, clack, click!

Zoey froze as she watched Charmine leave, and it was only after she was out of sight did she make a phone call. “Amelia, we nearly got her! Why did we let her go? Do you know how arrogant she is? She ordered me to fix her door saying that we wasted thirty-five minutes of her life, so we owe her thirty-five million!”

What? 35 million?

Amelia was seething, but once she remembered that Charmine had a hold of their call, she began to pile up the blame on Zoey. “It’s all your fault! Why did you call back to report to me? Do you know that she got a recording of our voice call?” she yapped. “You can’t even do a thing right. I’ll take the thirty-five million out of your salary, one million per month!”

Her monthly salary was only two million, so with one million taken away, she would be left with one million per month! Amelia hung up on her before she could even get a word out, but knowing her bad temper, she could only suffer in silence.

With what just happened, Amelia texted Tiffany to warn her, [Tiffany, Charmine is too much to handle. She somehow managed to get a hold of my phone recording. Please warn Julian before she pulls on any trick on him.]

Tiffany read the message with a sullen face. Indeed, she intentionally talked to Amelia last night to instill hate and use her to stop Charmine, but she did not expect Amelia to be defeated so easily! If Charmine could attend the show, and with what she had, what if she won? Would Julian have to live-stream himself eating crap after all?

Never! She had to think of other ways...

Seconds later, her eyes twinkled as though a thought came to mind. She turned and left right away.

...

By then, Charmine already left her villa, waiting to be picked up by the road. The car she had booked was canceled since she was all caught up with Zoey, and since it was rush hour, there were fewer cars available. She might be late if this went on. She had no choice but to keep on walking and pray for some cars to pass by, in hopes of hitchhiking.

Not long after, a few luxury sports cars pulled up around her, surrounding her in the middle. The leading car was a black Porsche, its highly finished body shining in style. The car lights, wheels, and handles were painted pink. The stark difference between black and pink made the car seem classy and fashionable, suitable for ladies.

Tiffany sat on the passenger’s seat, face beaten with makeup that emphasized her exquisite facial features. She was in a white cotton dress, and she looked graceful just like a princess, exuding an air of elegance.

The other luxurious cars were just as expensive with attractive ladies in them, likely to be Tiffany’s friends. They started sneering when they saw Charmine.

“Tiffany, isn’t this your adopted sister? Didn’t she claim to own hundreds of luxurious cars and betted with ten billion? Why does she not have a car now?”

“Oh, who can’t brag? I can brag that I have thousands of those cars, too!”

“Look at what she’s wearing, I’ve never seen this brand before. Living so far away from the city and claimed to own hundreds of cars? Even bet with ten billion? Jokes on her! At least brag with a script on.”

“Please don’t say that about her, as she’s still my sister. I believe there are reasons why she had to make up such lies.” Tiffany pretended to side with Charmine in her soft and delicate voice. She looked at Charmine with the friendliest face she could muster. “Charmine, you can tell me if you don’t have a car, and I can give you one. My parents bought me one for my birthday every year, and I ran out of space in my garage. All you have to do is ask. Why would you walk?”

She then continued with her supposed ‘understanding’ look, “Are you heading to the show? You’ll be late if you walk. Get in the car, I’ll give you a ride. I hope you don’t mind Popa at the back. He’s a good boy.”

As she spoke, she got out of the car and opened the back door for Charmine. A big pug was sitting behind, dirty as it was, and seemed to have taken most of the space.

Once Charmine would get into the car, Tiffany would make Popa bite her, one way or another. It would be much better if he could scratch and injure her face. No way could she attend the show if that happened.

Charmine scoffed. Did Tiffany just try to pull on such a lame trick on her? Did she think of Charmine as a Hello Kitty? “With your cheap and stupid car, you want to give me a ride?” she scorned. “Really?”

Cheap? Stupid?

Everyone held onto their breath. Charmine spoke with such arrogance. What was she made of? Even Tiffany was taken aback when she heard Charmine.

    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
