Charlie paused briefly, instructing the driver to tum around. He then addressed Emily. Til arrive at your place m apprimatily ten minutes. Come domatales, and we can have a face to face conversation
With that he ended the call
Emily stared at her phone, a wave of mgret washing over her She realized that her impulsive decision to call had potentially worsened the situation inte resolving it
A few minutes later, she went out the door, not alerting Crystal, and quietly went downstairs alone
She waited downstairs for a minute when Charlie’s car pulled up in front of her The window rolled down and Charlie sat in the back, looking at Emily and saying
“Get in
Emily walked around to the other side and got in the car
Charlie’s complexion turned pale as he questioned, “What did Crystal say to you?”
Emily shook her head and responded, “It’s not her fault it was our mistake for using your wine without asking for permission”
Charlie sneered, “Did she claim that I look down on her and despise you all, which is why I discarded the wine?”
Feeling uneasy, Emily replied, “Regardless, it was our fault. Im willing to compensate for it.”
Charlie’s expression grew darker, and he stated, “Emily, we’ve known each other for quite some time now. Don’t you understand the kind of person I am? Do you truly think I care about a bottle of wine?”
Emily humedly said, “No, it’s just that I feel guilty!”

She looked at the shameless words and pictures Crystal sent, feeling her head buzzing. She didn’t say anything, couldn’t even say a word, put down her phone, got out of the car, and strode towards the building!
As Emily ascended the stairs, her complexion was pallid, and her hands trembled with a mix of emotions. She approached Crystal’s door and knocked, intending to confront her
However, when Crystal opened the door and Emily saw her face, a wave of disgust washed over her, rendering her unable to articulate the questions she had in mind
Emily carefully reflected on the past two days. She realized that Crystal had been lounging on the couch, indulging in shows and idle conversations, without making any substantial meals for her. Most of the meals consisted of takeout, purchased with Emily’s own money
Yet, whenever Crystal learned that Charlie was coming over, her demeanor would instantly transform. She would proactively go grocery shopping, meticulously apply makeup, and try on different outfits.
