Xuxu paid her fare and alighted from the cab .
A foreign man, who was impeccably attired in Western clothes, stood at the entrance of lobby one and was looking around . When he caught sight of her, his good-looking face revealed a gentlemanly smile which was unique to the westerners .
He sauntered towards her with his long, winding legs .
"Xuxu, I haven't seen you in a while and you are still as attractive . "
He stood in front of Xuxu as he showered her with praises . He extended his hand for a shake, being a gentleman and all .
"Mr . Charles, you flatter me . " Xuxu also smiled and extended her hand to return the gesture .

Charles examined Xuxu's face and furrowed his brows all of a sudden . "But your face seems to look pale . "
Xuxu quipped, "I'm under too much work pressure, unlike Mr . Charles who's so carefree . "
"A beautiful woman like you must know how to strike a balance between work and rest . " Charles grinned widely . His gentle voice sounded like a breath of spring wind which was pleasing to the ears .
Although his pair of blue eyes looked deep and distant, he was simple and didn't make one feel that he's an unpredictable person .
Whenever there's a smile on his face, you'll see his eyes smiling too . He's just that genuine .
Xuxu had a thought . Being friends with such people would make one feel relaxed .
She chuckled . "Let's go for dinner . " Xuxu stretched out her hand and gestured politely to Charles . "Please . '

Charles nodded his head . "Sure . "
Both of them chatted happily as they walked through the turnstile .
Charles had already reserved a private room in advance .
It was located on the highest floor and although the room wasn't big, the view was excellent . Standing at the window, one could have a bird's eye view of the capital city .
When the waitress brought them their freshly brewed tea, Charles—being corteous and gallant— served the first cup to Xuxu .
Xuxu received the cup and replied, "Thank you . "
Charles chuckled . "I don't have many friends in this country so I should be the one to thank you instead, for having dinner with me . "
"Regarding the previous matter, I've not had the chance to buy you a meal, so I'm grateful for this opportunity . " Xuxu raised her cup and smiled politely at Charles .
"Which matter?" Charles widened his eyes and looked at Xuxu in confusion . He picked up his cup and sipped his tea casually .
Xuxu replied, "For the collaboration between Flourish & Prosper and your esteemed company, I'm grateful for the honor and respect that you have given me . "
She knew that he had not taken the matter to heart . But if he had not given in magnanimously, the collaboration between Flourish & Prosper and Country Y would not have been successful .
She would also not be able to fulfill her promise to the Board of Directors .
Importantly, this collaboration had brought Flourish & Prosper to greater heights . This was grandmother's wish .
Charles finally understood what Xuxu was driving at . "Regarding that matter, I was the presumptuous one . "
Xuxu chuckled and changed the subject . "How long will you be staying this time?"
"Are you willing to be my tour guide and show me around? I have a lot of time on my hands . " Charles shrugged his shoulders mischievously .
He paused for a moment . His mouth sunk and he shook his head . He sighed . "I think it's impossible . Yan Rusheng is so narrow-minded and he will be overcome with jealousy if I take one more look at you . "
Indeed, interacting with such people made one felt at ease and relaxed .
"Mr . Charles, you are too humorous . " Xuxu had a good laugh . "There is still freedom in my life . We are friends and if I'm free, I'll be most willing to be your guide . Even if I am occupied, I will definitely recommend a reliable tour guide to you . "
The dinner with Charles was pleasant and enjoyable .
When the stepped out of the entrance, Charles's car had already arrived and his assistant opened the car door for him .
