Chapter 63
Chapter 63“I doubt if you truly won a lottery, Charlie. Please, be honest.” Duke took a step closer. “I'm your friend, I won't let anyone know about this. What's happening?" He asked, his voice soft and barely above a whisper.His gaze held Charlie's firmly.Charlie didn't blink, his gaze locked in, his mind considering whether to tell Duke the truth or not. “Please, talk to me, Charlie. Everything about you recently changed. What's going on?” Duke added, snapping him from his consideration. Charlie exhaled, finally winking his eyes. “Mmm—” Just as he opened his mouth to answer, a sharp noise erupted in the room, disrupting the moment. It was Charlie's phone that was ringing.Charlie shifted slightly, his eyes darting down towards his pocket. “Please, excuse me. Got a call."Duke didn't say a word as he watched Charlie gently reach his finger into his pocket, pulling out his phone. Pulling it out, Charlie glanced briefly at Duke before finally swiping the screen up. “Hello? Wh
Chapter 62: Duke doubts and Suspects Charlie
Chapter 62The door creaked open and closed behind them as they stepped into his apartment. Charlie pointed as he addressed Duke. “Sit right here, I'll be back.” He made Duke sit down on his bed before walking toward his worn-out cupboard to retrieve something.Just a few minutes later, Charlie returned, carrying a nylon bag. He sat beside Duke, who was excitedly browsing through his new phone.He gave a soft smile as he observed Duke's expression. “Seems like you're in love with your new phone already." Duke looked up. “Definitely!" He nodded. “It's a nice device and I'm glad everything happened the way it did. Because that Samsung phone of mine was showing some faulty signs." His gaze then scanned the room, concern and worry in his eyes as he set down his phone on the bed. "Charlie,” he called softly."Yes.” Charlie raised an eyebrow, holding his gaze.Duke shifted closer to him. "I'm sorry you're living in a place like this," he started, his voice carrying emotion. His gaze shi
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'
