The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5528

Charlie had just accidentally asked about Marianne’s situation from Vera. However, after Marianne said it herself, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, “When did you come to work at Aurous University?”

Marianne could only explain truthfully, “Well, Aurous University has an Outstanding Talent Introduction Program, so I tried applying for it. I was invited to come and attend the interview, and I passed the interview…”

Marianne’s tone sounded very uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by her parents.

Charlie knew that Marianne had most likely come to Aurous Hill because of him. However, at this time, he could only pretend to be dumbfounded, so he subconsciously said, “Although Aurous University is not as good as Hong Kong University, it is still a very good university…”

Marianne nodded slightly, looked at Charlie, and stuttered as she said, “I… I think it’s pretty good as well…”

Vera, who was aside, seemed to have just returned to her senses. She rubbed her head and asked in surprise, “Marianne, do you know this gentleman?”

Marianne hurriedly said, “Yes, we… we are friends…”

Vera said in surprise, “That’s such a coincidence!”

Marianne nodded slightly and said awkwardly, “Yes, it’s truly quite a coincidence…”

Vera looked at Charlie and said to him, “Hello! My name is Veron Lavor. I wonder what I should call you?”

Charlie said calmly, “My name is Charlie Wade.”

Vera smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Charlie.”

Charlie smiled faintly in response but could not help but think to himself, ‘It seems that Vera doesn’t remember me.’

However, Charlie knew that Marianne was here, so he could not continue questioning Vera. Therefore, he said, “Oh, my sisters are still waiting for me, so I’ll go and look for them first. I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free.”

Marianne felt shy and embarrassed after getting exposed so suddenly, but she agreed without hesitation when she heard that Charlie wanted to treat her to a meal. She said, “I will be free over the next few days.”
