Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1563

"Ms. Waters!" Charlie greeted, putting on his usual handsome and calm facade. He then turned to Mrs. James, "What's up?"

"Didn't see you all morning, thought you might want to come over and sit." Mrs. James gestured to a chair next to Waters. "Please, have a seat. You're so tall you're blocking our sunlight."

Waters laughed gently, "I guess I'm your sunshade then."

Mrs. James giggled, "Being tall has its perks!"

Charlie chose to ignore their playful banter, pulling out a chair to sit next to Mrs. James. He glanced at some kids nearby and suddenly felt a pang of homesickness.

Waters frequently visited Mrs. James' beauty spa. They've become pretty tight, especially after Waters had made a point to win Mrs. James over. Mrs. James could see Waters's efforts, and she was keen on setting her up with Charlie.

Waters opened her bag, took out a black velvet box, and placed it in front of Charlie. She smiled faintly, "Mrs. James mentioned your tie and knot today didn't quite match, so we specially picked one out for you. Give it a try!"

Charlie glanced at the box with some big brand's logo on it, "I'm not the star of the show today. No need to be so extra."

"Waters went to two stores just for this. At least open it and see." Mrs. James gave Charlie a look, hinting at him not to embarrass Waters.

Charlie pretended not to notice. He still wore that faint smile, but his eyes turned a bit cold. "Mom, did you call me over for this?"

"You're always not home lately. Can't even chat with me now?" Mrs. James said with dissatisfaction. "Try this tie clip. Don't make Waters' effort go to waste."

"Ms. Waters, thank you for your kindness, but I'm not a fan of this brand. Doesn't your company want to bid for the new project of the James family? It would be better if you put more effort into preparing for the bid." After saying this, Charlie stood up, "Mom, I have friends over there, I'll go first."

"Charlie!" Mrs. James called out with a frown.

But Charlie didn't look back and left directly.

Waters dropped her head in disappointment, "Ma'am, does Mr. James think I have ulterior motives for him, so I'm deliberately trying to please him?"
