ENCHANTED LOVE - SEASON 7 EPISODE 61

Charles hung up the phone, looked up at David in the doorway and said, “Let him in, David.”

David hesitated for a moment before he finally got out of the way. Anthony immediately stormed into Charles’ office and headed to him.

He grabbed Charles by the collar. “Charles, what do you want?” he snarled savagely at Charles. “Didn’t you hurt Autumn enough three years ago? Do you intend to completely destroy her before you decide to stop pestering her?”

“Get off me!” Charles ordered sternly and struggled to free himself from Anthony’s grip. “I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to me personally before I can even find you.”

Putting on a wry smile, Charles went on, “You’ve just come at the right time. There is actually one thing I want to clarify with you today. Whether she is Sheryl or Autumn, I’ll never allow her to leave me this time. So, I advise you to remember who you really are and give her up while it’s early.”

“How ridiculous!” Anthony sniffed. “When Autumn was still with you three years ago, you just broke her heart. Now that she has finally moved on and completely forgotten about you, why can’t you just let her go?”

Anthony glared at Charles and continued, “You didn’t cherish her when she was still Autumn. Now that she’s already Sheryl and she doesn’t need you anymore, why would you take her back? She’s not your wife anymore. We’ve been happy during the past three years and I won’t let you just ruin it. Your presence has caused a lot of troubles in our lives so I think it is you who should stay away from us.”

“Don’t fool yourself, Anthony!” Charles retorted in an unflinching manner. “If you are confident that she really loves you, you should not feel threatened by me. Anyway, I am just a man she met not so long ago. If you are really important in her heart, how can I be able to destroy your relationship?”

Staring at Anthony’s face, he pointed out ironically, “Anthony, you know very well that you are just her male best friend. Whether she was Autumn in the past or she is Sheryl at the moment, that fact doesn’t change. And even if she doesn’t admit it now, I know I am special in her heart.”

“I’ve never met a man as brazen as you,” Anthony sneered. Then he added, “I am warning you, Charles. Stay away from Sheryl. We are getting engaged next week after I take her to meet my parents. There’s nothing you can do anymore.

Autumn was yours before, but Sheryl is mine now. You better figure that out.” “Come to me and show off when that time comes,” Charles jeered. “If you really think it will go well, why did you need to come here and warn me?”

With a frosty look, Charles continued, “Doesn’t your presence here only proves that you have no confidence at all? Obviously, you don’t have the confidence to keep Sheryl around.”

“You are such a glib talker!” Anthony quipped. “Just wait and see. I will prove to you that Sheryl and I are a perfect couple. And no matter how hard you try, you will just end up wasting your time,” Anthony boasted.

“Okay, we’ll see,” Charles responded indifferently. “If that’s all you’ve got to say, you can leave now,” Charles roughly dismissed Anthony this time.

Anthony was aggrieved that he came here so aggressive, yet, he had to leave dejected.

When Anthony walked out of his office, Charles’ face hardened.

Although Charles showed great confidence during his confrontation with Anthony, he still felt a little nervous. If Sheryl got to meet Anthony’s parents, she and Anthony would definitely be engaged. He could never allow it to happen. ‘No, I was not prepared to give up that easily,’ he told himself.

“David!” he called. David pushed the door open quickly. “What’s the matter, Mr. Lu?” David asked.

“Are the documents ready? Let’s go to BM Corporation right now,” Charles answered. Since Sheryl always rejected his love as being Charles, he planned to pursue her in a different way this time. “I’ll arrange the car now,” David said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Sue arrived at BM Corporation early in the morning. She was still a little disturbed because of what happened between her and Anthony. When Holley noticed that Sue was out of sorts, she called Sue into her office. “What’s the matter, Sue? You seem distracted. Is something wrong?” she asked solicitously.

“Nothing. Thank you for your concern, Miss Ye,” Sue answered quietly. She had fallen out with Sheryl but she was also not close to Holley so she did not want to tell Holley anything.

Holley looked at Sue and sincerely said, “You must be thinking that I am being officious. However, I just want you to know that I am not merely your boss. I am also your friend. I hope you will feel free to tell me when you are in trouble.”

With this, Holley gave Sue a smile with a wink. “Maybe I can also help you in some ways,” she added.

Holley paused for a while before she continued, “I want all my models to speak their minds to me because your condition might affect your work and that would not be good for both of us.”

“Miss Ye…” Touched by her concern, Sue decided to open up to Holley. “Do you remember what you said to me last time?” Sue asked Holley.

“You mean about Anthony?” Holley got the point instantly. Sue nodded in affirmation. “I didn’t believe you before when you told me that Sheryl and Charles’ relationship looked unusual. But after all this time, I realize, I was just a fool.”

“Not really,” Holley said with a smile. “Sheryl and Charles have not had any progress so far. Yes, they might have a crush on each other but I guess they haven’t confessed it yet.”

Then she, seeming to have thought of something, went on, “However, Charles seems to be so confident in winning Sheryl’s heart. I think it will only be a matter of time before they get together.”

“Who knows, they might already be together while we are making wild guesses here,” Sue assumed.

“What’s going on?” Holley pretended to be confused. “Aren’t you and Sheryl best friends? Why did you suddenly…”

Before Holley could finish her sentence, Sue interrupted her, “We’ve fallen out.” She smiled wryly. “I really don’t like what she’s doing. Anthony loves her so much but she doesn’t cherish it. She even gets herself involved with Charles. I can’t tolerate her anymore,” Sue said angrily.

“You were right. I love Anthony. But since Sheryl was my best friend and Anthony was her boyfriend, I suppressed my feelings. However, Sheryl betrayed Anthony first. Now, if I take Anthony from her, she will only get what she deserves, right? Miss Ye, will you support me?”
