Honey, I'll Make You a Star (Margaret and Charleston) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 She Stole Something

Margaret successfully made it to the first floor and was looking for the changing room.

Suddenly, an announcement was broadcasted.

"Waitress number 302, please come to the entrance on the second floor..."

Margaret lowered her head and looked at her costume tag.

302!

D*mn it.

Margaret was about to take off her tag, but it was too late.

Several bodyguards in the cruise party uniforms had already gotten her surrounded.

...

At the top luxurious cruise lounge.

The room's interior had a touch of Spanish royalty design. A good-looking man sat on the royal blue sofa, looking very elite and noble.

He scrunched his handsome brows tightly.

Why was Margaret taking such a long time to get changed? Did something happen?

At that moment, he faintly heard the broadcast.

"302..." Larry opened his mouth and spoke with uncertainly, "I think that was the waitress who had accompanied Miss Simmons into the changing room."

Charleston suddenly got up and strode out.

Larry followed closely behind.

...

"I didn't steal anything!" Margaret defended herself while frowning at the suspicion of the crowd.

"You didn't? Then, what's this?" Emilia pointed to the pouch in Margaret's hand.

"This is mine."

"Staff on the cruise ship are not allowed to carry belongings. Open it and let me see what is in there." The manager of the cruise ship said sternly.

The guests who were invited to the cruise party were all from the upper-class social circle.

If she had really stolen something and offended someone from the elite circle, the manager could not afford to bear the consequences.

Margaret tightened her grip on the pouch.

If she refused to show them, she would be regarded as a thief. Yet, if she did, she would definitely be recognized. Margaret was neck-deep in her dilemma.

Margaret held tighter onto the pouch, eyes darting around the room as she scanned for a way to escape.

Suddenly, the manager exclaimed, "Mr. Limbaugh!"

Margaret looked over only to see the tall man walking over slowly. He was extremely handsome and had an aura of elegance and poise.

His slightly angry gaze fell on Margaret.

This halted all thoughts in Margaret's mind.

At that moment, there were only two words in her mind.

"It's over!"

Margaret was frustrated. She had initially planned to trick Charleston and escape this place, leaving him to suffer alone.

What she did not expect was to be defeated like this.

"Mr. Limbaugh, can I help you with something?" The manager politely asked.

Charleston casually glanced at Margaret and said, "I lost something in the lounge. I heard that you caught a thief, correct?"

"Ah, yes, that's her." The manager pointed at Margaret. He had a look of disdain on his face.

She dared to steal from Mr. Limbaugh! How reckless!

Margaret lowered her head and averted Charleston's gaze. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Emilia's heart started beating rapidly when she saw Charleston. How could there be such a handsome man? The manager treated him with great respect, so that meant he must be a very powerful person.

The manager had addressed him as 'Mr. Limbaugh'. Could he be...

"Mr. Limbaugh, I can tell from a glance that this woman is a thief. What I didn't expect was for her to actually steal something from you." Emilia played with her hair and said seductively.

"Who said anything was stolen? Where's your proof?" Margaret snorted.

"Who said there isn't proof? Open that pouch of yours and we'll see if there really is a thief among us." Emilia said while pointing at the pouch.
