“Michael!” Sharon exclaimed in shock and queried, “What are you doing here?”

“What’s with your response? Am I not allowed to be here?”

Michael had put on a simple yet elegant-looking sage set of outfits for the banquet, but it couldn’t conceal the fact he was a handsome man.

The man, who had an androgynous appearance, had acquired the attention of the women that were around.

“No! Of course not! Are you guys acquainted?” Sharon asked with a peculiar smile, glancing at Michael and Charlotte.Michael wrapped his arm around Charlotte’s waist and declared, “She’s a childhood friend of mine, and we used to be course mates back in our university days. I guess you can consider me her guardian!”

“I see! It’s just like Zachary and me!” Sharon replied with a bright grin.

Sharon would constantly remind Charlotte of her extraordinary relationship with Zachary.

When Sharon brought up Zachary in front of the duo, Charlotte recalled the deal she had with Zachary—she promised him she would stay away from Michael in the future.

Michael was taken aback by her action—disappointment was written all over her face.
