Chapter 61
Chapter 61 Charlie looked down at the figure, maintaining a calm composure. His hands were casually tucked into his pockets. Logan, already on his knees, struggling to steady his breath, raised the item in his hand. “T—the stuff,” he stammered, his voice unsteady. His face was still looking tattered from the last beating. “My men and I had gone to the store to get the new phone for Duke. We're sorry for everything. I promise it's not going to happen ever again.” He bowed his head, his face pale with regret as he stretched out the item even more. "Please, accept it." His men, having bandages covering some sides of their faces, joined in. It was obvious they hadn't recovered from the beating, either. They begged. “Please, take it, Charlie, and don't call that lady for us again. We haven't been ourselves right after that encounter.” Students started to gather, eyes blinking with surprise and confusion. Whispers rippled in the air. Some nudged each other, a smug, bu
Chapter 60
Chapter 60 Just a minute after Charlie left, Jake walked out of the restroom, exhaling in relief. He adjusted his shirt, eyes scanning the place as he stepped forward. “Where's he?" Jake asked, looking around to see if he could find Charlie. The waitress turned, facing him. “Sir Charlie? He just left a few minutes ago. He received a call—an urgent one—and he had to rush away.” Jake frowned but before he could say anything— “But…” the waitress reached out to the table, grabbing the bag of packaged food that Charlie had instructed her to give to Jake. "Here. He instructed me to give this to you.” Jake didn't hesitate. He took it sharply, but gently, and started glancing inside, taking note of the contents. His eyes widened. "You mean he bought all of this just for me?" He asked, his mouth slightly open. The waitress nodded, confirming. “Yes. And here too." She pulled out the five crisp bills that Charlie had also given her. Subtracting one, she handed the r
Chapter 59: Funny Moment; Jake uses the toilet
Chapter 59 “Inside your stomach?" Charlie repeated, leaning forward. “You mean you finished everything?" Jake nodded slowly and smirked shyly. “Y–Yes. I had no idea I was going to, I swear. The meals were just so delicious that I didn't know when I finished them,” he answered, his voice almost arousing laughter. He studied Charlie for a few seconds and added. “Brother, hope you're not mad at me. I was so hungry. Hadn't eaten since last night, so I thought of grabbing this opportunity. I'm sorry if the way I ate brought shame to you.” Charlie exhaled, shaking his head. He leaned back, “Not at all. Everything was all yours so it's fine. I was just surprised how you were able to finish all of that." Jake chuckled. “It’s nothing big at all. It happens whenever I'm hungry. Can even finish more of that if I'm in the mood. Let me not lie; I'm a foodie type.” Charlie offered a faint smile as he grabbed his teacup and gulped the last remains, his mind still pondering how Jake was
Chapter 58
Chapter 58Charlie, relaxed in his seat, said, “Paying for all of that is no big deal." Jake's voice was filled with desperation as he begged again. “Please, put me on." Charlie smiled. “What exactly do you want me to teach you? Thought I told you I'm still in search of a job,” he responded.But Jake wasn't convinced. The place they had come to have their breakfast is a top-notch restaurant, and the price for each meal is extravagant, so Charlie's reply doesn't make up for it. “But if you don't have a job, you can't be spending this lavishly, or is it a secret thing that you don't want me to know about?” Jake didn't allow Charlie to say a word. In fact, he wasn't done.He leaned even more forward, his voice dropping low, but with ultimate assurance. "I promise you, even if it's illegal work, I won't let anybody know about it. I'm very secretive, I swear. It'll remain just between the two of us. Trust me!” Charlie shook his head with a faint smirk. “There’s nothing illegal that I'
Chapter 57
Chapter 57 A few minutes later, Charlie stepped out of the cab that had carried them. Following immediately was Jake from the other door, his eyes sharp as they scanned around the place, slightly nodding in admiration. Charlie dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a crisp $100 bill, handing it to the driver. “Here you go. The fare." The driver, after taking the money, glanced down, his eyes rotating as if they were searching for something, but suddenly Charlie spoke up, his voice calm and his expression unreadable. “Is it the change?" He asked, but before the driver could nod and reply, he simply added, waving his hand in dismissal. “Don't worry, just keep it to yourself." The driver's mouth fell open and his jaw dropped to the ground. “I should keep the change? $60? That's huge! Thank you so much, Sir. God bless you." However, as he was thanking, Charlie had already started walking toward the restaurant building, hurling the bag of his purchased gadgets with one
Chapter 56: Charlie Meets Jake
Chapter 56Charlie turned his head toward the right—where he had heard his name—and he squinted at the figure, his eyebrows furrowing. Then suddenly, recognition flickered in his eyes.“Jake Anthony?” Charlie reciprocated, a smile forming on his lips. The young man with a child-like facial expression, around the age of thirty, older than Charlie, was no other than Jake Anthony, Charlie's colleague at the bar where he was working before resigning on his own after a significant turnaround in his life. He was dressed in a white cloth and slightly torn black trousers. “Hey Jake," Charlie walked up to him, giving him a handshake, “how are you doing?" “I'm not good, man," Jake responded, a faint smile on his face as he looked closely at Charlie. “You look good, man. What's the way forward? And yeah, you haven't been coming to serve at the bar lately. Did you inform Boss about it, or have you gotten a new job? You can link me up.”Charlie smiled. "I haven't. I just couldn't cope with the
