The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5515

When Charlie inquired about his visit to the temple, Stephen couldn't help but be taken aback. He couldn't quite fathom what Charlie was getting at with his questions about his whereabouts and who he might be meeting. Stephen, however, was no slouch. Since he was surprised, he decided not to conceal it. Instead, he responded with an astonished tone, "Young Master, how do you know?"

Charlie responded nonchalantly, "You smell like incense."

Suddenly, it clicked for Stephen and a sense of relief washed over him. But he didn't dare reveal his relief just yet. He smiled and explained, "I visited Lama Temple this afternoon. I had some free time, so I went to pay my respects."

Charlie nodded, without a trace of doubt in his mind. Stephen held a high position within the Wade family and his role as the housekeeper afforded him a fair degree of freedom. It was entirely reasonable for him to take some time to burn incense and worship Buddha. As for the deeper reasons for his visit, Charlie didn't dwell on it. After all, visiting temples was a routine practice for Chinese people, akin to how Europeans and Americans frequented churches.

Maria, on the other hand, stole a few more glances at Stephen. While she couldn't quite pinpoint anything unusual, she couldn't help but feel that Stephen's demeanor and overall impression didn't align with someone who held strong utilitarian beliefs, often associated with Tibetan Buddhism. Most adherents sought wealth and power, a trait particularly common among celebrities who followed this faith. In Maria's eyes, Stephen didn't quite fit that mold, which raised some questions.
