The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Charlie nodded and said, “Before the age of eight, I was probably the happiest child in the world. I fell from the sky into the mud
puddle overnight, and then I crawled and rolled in the mud puddle all the way, until today. Yes, I am an orphan.”
Angela exclaimed, “You are so young, you can play a key position in BAIT Shipping which proves that your personal ability is
very strong.”
“Really?” Charlie suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled. He laughed as he said, “Haha, it seems like that is
the case.”
He couldn’t tell her that he was actually the boss of BAIT Shipping with the most shares. At this time, many middle-aged people
walked quickly toward the two with smiles on their faces. The leader was uncle Nan just now. They saw that he was still holding
a big box in his hand, and they didn’t know what was inside.
When everyone came to the two, Uncle Nan smiled and said, “Miss Lombardo, happy birthday!”
After that, Uncle Chuck, who was beside him, hurriedly opened the lid of the big box which turned out to be a beautiful birthday
cake. Everyone cheered together and said in unison, “Miss Lombardo, happy birthday!”
Angela was stunned and murmured, “Today is not my birthday... My birthday is more than ten days away... Uncle Nan, Uncle
Chuck, what is going on?”
Uncle Nan smiled and said, “Miss Lombardo, today is the fourth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and it is your
birthday according to the lunar calendar. You may not usually read the lunar calendar, but we old guys usually wake up for the
first time every day. One thing we do is to look through the old yellow calendar, we can’t remember the days of the Gregorian
calendar, but we can remember the days of the lunar calendar very clearly.”
Angela’s eyes suddenly became wet, and she covered her mouth and said softly, “I don’t know...”
The old man said with a smile, “We were all preparing for this a few days ago and wanted to give you a little surprise. In the
afternoon, we were worried that you would not come today, but I didn’t expect you to bring a male friend here.”
Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of Angela’s eyes. This time, she didn’t explain any further, but said gratefully, “Thank
you, everyone...Thank you...”
Old man Nan and Chuck held the cake and sang the Cantonese birthday song,

“Wish you happy and long life and happy birthday”
“Every year has today, every year has this day!”
“Every year has good morning”
“Congratulation, congratulation!”
The people who followed clapped, and Uncle Nan put two candles, while handing the box of matches into Charlie’s hand, he said
with a smile, “Sir, Miss Lombardo’s 24th birthday is today, so we have prepared two candles, please help Miss Lombardo to light
them!”
Charlie slightly nodding, inserted two candles, then lighted the candles.
Everyone hurriedly urged her to make a wish and blow out the candle. Angela glanced at Charlie, closed her eyes, acquiesced to
a wish, and then blew out the candle in the presence of everyone.
Everyone cheered again, and then everyone served Angela and Charlie their own special meals and snacks. Because each
serving was very small, Old man Chuck said to them, “We know Miss Lombardo doesn’t like to waste, so we prepared a small
amount for each portion. If there is not enough to eat, don’t hesitate to speak, and we will prepare it for the two of you!”
Angela said with red eyes, “Thank you for being so caring, you still remember my birthday...”
The old man smiled and said, “It’s all right, Miss Lombardo, let me say something lofty for everyone. You are in our eyes, just like
our own daughter!”
After that, he hurriedly told everyone, “Everyone, let’s leave, let’s go, don’t disturb Miss Lombardo’s two-person world!”
