Chapter 167 Wait for My Message
Charles totally noticed him coming in. With one hand casually tucked in his suit pocket, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyelids barely lifted, giving off this intense vibe.
Nathaniel instinctively took a step back!
But Charles didn't seem to care. He just lowered his gaze and toyed with the bracelet on his wrist. The light from the conference room cast shadows on his face, making it hard to read his true emotions.
It took Nathaniel a moment to steady his breathing.
Charles finally spoke in a low voice, "You wanted to see me?"
"Yeah, you could say that," Adeline replied, not denying it.
Charles's voice had a hint of amusement. "Alright."
Wait, he agreed?
Adeline was a bit taken aback.
Nathaniel, who had caught a glimpse of Charles's secret, wished he hadn't come in at all!
Charles's voice remained calm. "I can send you the photo, but there's one thing—I don't take no for an answer."
Adeline thought it best to get the photo first. "Alright."
"Swear it," Charles said with a familiar tone, a smile playing on his lips. "After all, the impression you left on me at the manor was unforgettable; You're just too slick at fooling people."
Adeline raised an eyebrow; he was really hard to deceive. Her voice was lazy. "I swear, I won't refuse to treat you."
"Wait for my message," Charles said, pausing slightly before snapping a photo of himself.
The angle was perfect. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a dark trench coat over a matching shirt. The shirt collar was undone, showing off his striking collarbone. His tousled hair added to his restrained and noble aura.
Even though Nathaniel had been around Charles for a while, he was still stunned by his appearance.
He couldn't imagine the reaction when the person on the other side received Charles's photo.
Adeline was waiting.
Ten seconds passed.
Something was off. Why hadn't it come through yet?
Just as Adeline was about to ask, she saw her phone screen display that the call had ended.
And it wasn't hung up; it was a network issue.
How could there be a network issue?
Adeline thought to try typing again, but before she could, her live stream backend received three consecutive system messages.
[Based on complaints, it has been detected that this account contains prohibited content during the live stream, including vulgarity and violence, violating...]

24 hours?
She wouldn't be able to speak or receive messages for 24 hours?
Adeline's eyes narrowed slowly. That meant she and Summer couldn't go live on time tomorrow.
Her fingers moved slightly as she returned to the platform page, but nothing responded, not even the live stream description could be modified. Let alone typing in the chat box.
Whenever she sent a message, the platform system would warn her with red exclamation marks.
These complaints came at just the right time.
She was about to see what he looked like, just a few seconds away.
But now, the most important thing wasn't about him, but the sudden "complaints."
