Love Began with the First Meeting

Hearing that, Eric frowned slightly. Even though Charlie didn't speak out everything that he was thinking about, Eric knew that he wanted to make Dragon an indispensable subsidiary of the Dragon Empire Group. If that happens, Dragon's position would be enhanced greatly, considering that it was now only in the grey zone, as if it would be abandoned by Dragon Empire Group or purchased by another company at any time.

"I will not provide any technical support," carelessly, Eric said in a plain tone.

"That's unnecessary," not affected by what he had said, Charlie said with great self-confidence on his face. "What I need is only your approval, not technical assistance." While saying, Charlie opened the folder in his hands, took two printed approval applications out of it, and handed the applications to Eric.

Seeing that, Eric burst into laughter. "It is premeditated."

"If you think so, I won't deny," smiling a little, Charlie said with a shrug.

Reaching for the letters, seriously and carefully, Eric read the program plan made by Charlie. At present, all the fields of business of the Dragon Empire Group had peaked. It was difficult to break through considering the current financial situation of the country's economy. If Charlie could make things different from the aspect of mobile games, Eric would be pleased to support him.

With these thoughts in his mind, he signed his name on the approval applications. Immediately, the cellphone department of Dragon Empire Group had one more competitor-Charlie, a talent in computer and technology. For the time being, they still didn't know that the competition between the two parties would bring another peak to the Dragon Empire Group.

After obtaining what he wanted, Charlie said with a smile, "Lest Evelyn and I have the positions only, I can't do the job for the time being. If I succeed in the development of the new cellphone brand as well as the mobile game, I won't mind going back to fight against Addison for the position of being the Ruler. You'd better not worry if that happens."

Hearing that, Eric smiled with a relaxed face. "You will not be able to take the position from him!" he declared.

"Why is that so?" with the corners of his mouth twitched, Charlie asked in confusion.

"You always do things at your own will, so you can't bear with the working style of the National Congress. There are meetings every day and a lot of responsibilities."

"But you were also once like that, uncle."

"You only specialize in a few fields. If a task in the aspect of computers or games will be given to you, I believe that you will manage to settle it even by staying up all night. But if you need to read a thick stack of files every day and deal with all these hassles and problems, do you think you can do that?"

"..." Realizing that his uncle had a point somehow, Charlie was held speechless again. Curling his lips, he said, "Haha, it seems that Uncle Eric can't take a joke." While saying that, he stood up and walked outwards. "I'm going back to the Long Family Mansion. I will take Elsa away from Dragon Island right away unless something unexpected happens," he said.

"Do you have to leave so hurriedly?" seeing that he was about to leave, Eric asked, frowning.

"I have no other choice. Aunt is too crazy," Charlie answered. With one of his hands on the doorknob, he turned his head back to look at Eric, who was smiling helplessly. "If we stay here any longer, Elsa would certainly have no time to take even a rest."

Shrugging, Eric said helplessly, "As you know, your aunt has no other hobby by now." Naturally, she went shopping from morning till evening and brought numerous bags back home, without considering whether the things she bought were useful or not. As a result, most of the things she bought would be sent to some family members.

However, Eric understood his wife completely. Maybe others thought that she liked shopping and always bought useless things, but Eric knew that she did that intentionally for a noble cause. She was too kindhearted that she couldn't bear to see anyone suffering. Thus she was buying all the pieces of stuff so she could give it to them.

Hearing Eric's response, Charlie shrugged and then walked outwards. While driving the car heading to the Long Family Mansion, Charlie made a call with the car telephone.

"Hello, this is Dragon Island International Airport. How may I help you?" a sweet voice came through from the other end of the line.

"This is Charlie Long," Charlie said, pausing for a while he glanced at his watch and continued, "Please, arrange an air route and an airplane for me as soon as possible."

"Mr. Charlie Long, please let me know the number of passengers and the destination. These informations were necessary for me to arrange the air route and the airplane as well."

"A flight for two. Mpumalanga, South Africa."

"Okay. The flight will be ready in five hours unless something unexpected happens."

When Charlie hung up the phone, the car he was driving was slowly entering into the Long Family Mansion.

As he expected, Elsa was taken by Eric's wife to go shopping again. Meanwhile, Evelyn and Ezra were not in the mansion either. He knew that Brian and Molly had taken both Elsa and Ezra's parents to a tour around QY Island several days ago and hadn't been home yet. Now that he was alone and he no longer needed to do anything in the National Congress, for the time being, Charlie thought it was time to take Elsa to have a look at the place he had lived for a long time. That beautiful and lofty yet bloody place was the headquarters of the XK Intelligence Agency.

It was not until Elsa and Charlie got on the airplane that Elsa sighed with relief. "Alas, Aunt loves shopping and she can go shopping all day long tirelessly," leaning weakly on her seat, Elsa said. "Here, have a look. All these were bought by her."

"She's most interested in shopping," Charlie said with a smile on his face. "Have a rest if you feel tired. It will take more than ten hours for us to arrive at the destination."

"I'm tired but not that sleepy," with her face drained out of color, Elsa mumbled, curling up her body in the big and comfortable seat. "You may deal with your business. I won't disturb you." Nodding her head towards Charlie, Elsa winked at him and gave him a sweet smile. Tempted by her radiant face, Charlie stretched his long arm to hold Elsa into his embrace. In a low, deep, evil and attractive voice, he said, "In the past few days, I dealt with affairs in the National Congress and you went shopping with my aunt. Since you were tired every day, I didn't make you even more tired." After taking a short pause, he continued in a lower voice, "But when we arrive at our destination, I think it's necessary for us to continue discussing the length of my thing and..." Taking a nasty look at Elsa's breast, he finished his sentence, "The size of your things."

Hearing that, Elsa immediately realized what he meant. She blushed and cursed, "You know what Charlie? You're a rogue!"

Teasing her, Charlie smiled and kissed her on her cheek. In a low and hoarse voice, he whispered by her ear, "I waited for you and kept my integrity for so many years. Do you know how thirsty I could be and how long I have waited for this? Of course, you have to make it up to me. I'm not a rogue. I only have taste in sex."

"What?" Dazed, Elsa was stunned. All this time she had thought that Charlie was as elegant as a prince. However, looking at him this time and after everything he had said, he looked like a rogue at the moment. He was as evil as the Charlie in her memory, who had always played tricks on her in their childhood.

Looking at the expressions on her face, Charlie knew what Elsa was thinking about, but he didn't mind at all. In his opinion, it was just right and proper for a man to express his love for both her spirit and body frankly to the woman he loved. Besides, every word he uttered was the truth. He had waited long for this moment to be with Elsa and have her entirely for himself.

The airplane slid across the sky smoothly and peacefully. Gradually, it was getting dark and gloomy outside the window. Charlie fixed his eyes on Elsa, who was sleeping as tight as an infant. A soft and pampering smile played at the corners of his mouth. He took a blanket from aside and covered Elsa with it gently.

He watched over her as Elsa slept seriously. In order not to disturb her, he folded his computer and even turned off the small spotlight on the seat. Stretching himself out, he sat there quietly, with his one arm on the armrest of the seat and the other supporting his chin. In such a gesture, he was lost in thought.

At that somber moment, the only question he had to think about was how to give Elsa a special and unforgettable trip after the engagement ceremony. He wondered what girls, especially girls of Elsa's type, liked or wanted to obtain. Maybe he not only had to think about it for the time being but also had to think about it all his life.

As several thoughts popped up his mind, Charlie couldn't help but draw a satisfied smile on his lips. Turning over to glance at Elsa's angelic face, he lowered his head to give her a long and reassuring kiss on the forehead.
