that you’re trying to do? I really do have a husband and a daughter. Plus, I have no plans on taking in a pup. “Oh

“You’re lying, Meredith Leighton,” Charlie cut her off abruptly. “Sorry?”

“I’ve asked my friend to look you up and it says that you’re single and unmarried.” He then showed her the

What else could Meredith say to him? He would not believe her no matter what she said.

“I…” Meredith paused before going on, “my boyfriend and I are not married yet, but we are going to be.” It was

clear that Charlie did not believe her. He even teased, “Alright then. I’ll give up only when you get married.”

“I can’t seem to get through to you at all.” Meredith stood up from her chair and said,” Whatever. Have a good

rest.”

“Remember to get me breakfast tomorrow.”

Meredith came to stop in her steps. “Mister Charlie, I’ve transferred you to another department and you’re not my

busy with work.”

“It’s alright. I can always continue with my work at home,” Josiah then added, “talk to you soon then. Have a safe

ride home.”

During dinner, Josiah put a piece of meatball into Meredith’s plate and asked, “How’s your first day at work?

Anything interesting that you’d like to share?”

Meredith instantly thought of the lad that always wore a bright smile on his face. Was Charlie considered as
