As Claire was very busy with her office lately, he specially bought snutritious ingredients in order to cook snice dishes for her.

After he finished shopping, Charlie walked out of the market and stumbled upon Loreen.

"Charlie!" Loreen shouted his name, thrilled and overjoyed.

Charlie was surprised. "Hey, Loreen, what a coincidence!" Loreen looked at Charlie and mumbled hesitantly, "Yes... erm, no... no, I... I..." Charlie tilted his head, confused. "Speak slowly. Have you encountered any problems recently?" Loreen's face turned into a bright shade of red.

Actually, she had waited for him outside Claire's house early in the morning and had been following Charlie all the way.

Loreen cleared her throat, mustered scourage, and said, "I... I'm actually here to thank you for savingyesterday." Charlie smiled. "It's my pleasure, I saved you because you are Claire's best friend, that's all." He found her appearance out of the blue peculiar and he got the answer. 2 Loreen shook her head and continued firmly, "Charlie, actually... actually I know that you didn't just saveyesterday. The other day at the Aurous Bistro, it was you too." 3 Charlie's heart skipped a beat nervously. How did she know about the Aurous Bistro's incident? He was wearing a mask then, she shouldn't know! 3 He quickly denied. "Perhaps you've gotten the wrong person? I've never been to the Aurous Bistro or whatever the nof the place is, it must've been someone else." 2 Loreen glanced at him, complex feelings flooding her eyes and emotions. There was aggrievance, passion, and a slight resentment in them.

Why couldn't he just admit it? Was she so worthless in his eyes? Why didn't he want to admit that he saved her? 2 The complex emotions were replaced with tears as she started, "When Harold invitedto dinner at Aurous Bistro the other day, srich guy cto botherand Harold caused strouble with him. Then, he got sgangsters to ambush us at the entrance of the restaurant. At the critical moment, Harold dumpedthere and escaped, and there was this masked hero who appeared out of nowhere and knocked everyone down and savedfrom them. Besides, you..." 1 Loreen's face was turning into a much brighter red. They had quite an intimate skinship moment where Charlie took off her pants... 2 Of course, she was fully aware that Charlie intended to save her life rather than to have sunspeakable and malicious thoughts.

Charlie's face, on the other hand, almost turned green. Holy crap, why would she go there and why did she touch a sore spot? Could he admit to such doings? 2 Of course not! All hell would break loose if Claire found out about what happened between him and her best friend! 2

"Loreen, there must be smisunderstanding. Yes, candight very well, but that doesn't mean that I saved you." 3 Then, he quickly added, "Even if it did, I only saved you once yesterday!"

Facing Charlie's denial, Loreen sighed quietly and took out the peace and wealth pebble t from her pocket. "What about this pebble? How do you explain it?"

Charlie glared at the pebble in disbelief. Wasn't it the pebble that he had lost for * for stand couldn't find anywhere? Why was it with Loreen now? 2 X Could it be that he dropped the pebble when he rescued her at the Aurous Bistro and she picked it up? CKK-SBCr/GS2P
