NovelEnglishClaire went to her new office early the next morning.
Meanwhile, Charlie rode his electric scooter to the wet market.
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 saving me
yesterday."
Charlie smiled. "It's my pleasure, | 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 | know that you didn't just save me
yesterday. 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?

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 dumped me
there 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

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, | can fight very well, but that doesn't mean that | saved
you." 3
Then, he quickly added, "Even if it did, | only saved you once yesterday!"
Facing Charlie's denial, Loreen sighed quietly and took out the peace and wealth pebble 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 stand couldn't find
anywhere? Why was it with Loreen now? 2
Could it be that he dropped the pebble when he rescued her at the Aurous Bistro and she picked it up?
