Half an hour later, Channing posted his first tweet.
It was the photo that Sherry sent him. He simply tagged the name of the variety show in the post and
didn't write anything else.
After that, he put down his phone.
Not long after, he received a call from Maxwell, who told him that valid evidence was found to prove
Chassell’s crime and the police had started to investigate the case, and that Chassell disappeared after
he left the company this afternoon.
Maxwell then added, “But don’t worry. I have sent people over to protect Winnie. As long as Chassell
appeared, he would be caught.”
Channing held the phone and kept silent for a few seconds before saying, “I got it.”
Before hanging up the phone, Maxwell said, “Before Mr. Conrad went to Riverside City, he specially
instructed me that you should stop bothering with Chassell’s matter since it is all clear. Ms. Radomil
also doesn't want anything bad happen to you.”
Channing nodded. “Okay.”
Putting down his phone, he got up and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
After finishing his shower, he wiped his hair while picking up his phone.
The tweet he posted not so long ago already got some likes and comments.
He did not click on those comments. Instead, he clicked on the photo and zoomed in to look more
closely, pondering.
Two minutes later, he casually threw the towel on the sofa, put the phone in his pants pocket, and
walked towards the door.
…
There was not so much work these days and nobody urged Winnie to lose weight, so she indulged
herself in a lot of take-out on the coffee table. While watching the new variety show, she lay on the
sofa, clicked on Twitter and started to browse casually.
Soon she saw a real-time trend.
She paused for a second and then clicked into it. After zooming in the photo quite a few times, she
finally confirmed that one of the figures in the photo was herself.
The photo that Channing posted was in the recording studio. It was quite artistic with two people in a
noisy environment.
Under his tweet, most of the comments were focused on the recording of the variety show itself.
There were also a few people discussing the two figures in the photo. Some recognized that they were
Winnie and Channing. But soon some fans of Channing rushed to the comment section and asked
them to focus on Channing instead of creating rumors based on a single photo of a show.
Reading this, Winnie smiled slightly. Although this was Channing’s first variety show after entering the
entertainment industry, and his team was still not so experienced, he had behaved well and attracted
lots of fans.
Before she quit Twitter, she somehow clicked on the photo again and then saved it.
Immediately afterwards, she threw her phone on the sofa and began to pick out some food on the
table, started to eat happily.
Soon the doorbell rang.
She thought it was the bubble tea she ordered had arrived. While holding a skewer in one hand, she
clip-clopped hurriedly in her slippers to the door. “On my way!”
She pulled open the door and was about to say thank you when she saw Channing standing outside.
She subconsciously hid the skewer behind her back and asked with wide eyes, “Why… Why are you
here?”
He pursed his lips before saying, “They said that Chassell ran away and I fear he might come to you.”
She moved her lips a few times before she finally mumbled, “Oh wow…”
“Hmm.”
They stood facing each other in the doorway for half a minute. She suddenly returned to her senses
and took a step aside. “Well, come in.”
“Okay.”
While he was changing his shoes at the doorway, she turned around and ran back to the living room.
There were a lot of food on the table, and it looked so messy. She did not know where to start to clean
them up.
While she was at a loss, his voice came from behind, “You didn’t have dinner, did you?”
She looked back and laughed dryly. “No. I did not. I had work this afternoon and came back late. Do
you want to eat some of these?”
He looked towards the table. “I don’t think you can finish all these things.”
She sat in the sofa, hands on her knees. Looking at the food in front of her, she felt a bit of shame.
He was right. She won't be able to finish them all.
But… Since she had not eaten food like these in a long time, she wanted to try some of everything.
After being silent for a while, she tried again, “Well, I did not intend to waste food. There are often stray
cats and dogs outside the community. I usually take the remaining food to them.”
He said, “These are spicy food with lots of oil. If they eat…”
Then he paused and added, “Do you often eat like this?”
She hurriedly waved her hand. “No, no. I usually have to work and dare not eat like this. I just want to
indulge myself in these few months.”
He did not say anything else and simply sat in the single sofa next to her. Then he organized the messy
table and all the food was arranged in a clear order.
At this time, the doorbell rang again.
She instantly got up. “It should be my bubble tea and I will go get it!”
After taking the bubble tea and saying thank you to the delivery guy, she walked back and said, “I didn't
know you were coming, so I only ordered one cup. What do you want to drink? I can order something
else for you.”
“No need. Water will do,” he replied.
“Wait a moment,” she said.
She put the bubble tea on the table, picked up the water kettle next to it and poured a glass of water for
him.
At this time, there came a cry from the TV.
She looked to the sound and found that it was only two minutes before the end of the variety show.
He also looked over.
The next scene was the two of them standing in front of a bookshelf.
Having something on her mind, she subconsciously picked up the remote control quickly and turned off
the TV. After that, she felt she might have overreacted. Then she manage an embarrassed smile
towards him. “This episode ends here. After that were all commercials, nothing else.”
He withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly without replying.
She sat down and tried to maintain an elegant manner while taking a sip of the bubble tea. Finally, she
coughed, “Ahem… Well, eat something. It’s been a while since they arrived. If we don’t eat now, it will
get cold.”
“Okay,” he replied.
When eating, she suddenly felt she should let the TV be on. At least the atmosphere between them
wouldn't be so awkward with some background noises.
This kind of awkward and silent atmosphere in the room made it difficult for her to digest food.
She squatted beside the table and looked at him. “Did you sister go to Riverside City? When will she be
back?”
“It should not take long.”
“Well, how about the little guy? Is he much better now?”
“Much better than before.”
