Charlotte returned to the room and saw that the phone on the desk had been flashing. She walked over, picked up the phone, and only then did she realize that Elizabeth had sent her quite a few messages.
Elizabeth: Lottie! Are you really going to comfort Leandro?
Elizabeth: ...You didn't really take my advice and put on sexy pajamas to comfort your husband, did you?
Elizabeth: Half an hour has passed, Lottie. Will you be able to get out of bed tomorrow?
Elizabeth: There's still ten minutes until an hour, take it easy, Lottie, your calf isn't fully healed yet! I won't disturb your baby-making anymore, I'm out of here. [I'm out of here.JPG]
The latest message had arrived two minutes ago. Charlotte looked at Elizabeth's message and her face turned red instantly. She hurriedly replied.
Charlotte: ...I'm back! Can you throw away those yellow scraps in your mind?
Elizabeth was all talk, but in reality, she was always holding her phone waitin
Catching sight of someone out of the corner of her eye, Charlotte felt incredibly guilty. She had intended to keep playing, but after a while, she couldn't stand the man's gaze and stopped. "Mr. Romero, is there something you need?"Leandro stood by the piano, his head slightly lowered, his dark eyes staring straight at her: "Have you been avoiding me lately?"When he said this, his voice didn't fluctuate at all, only the end tone was slightly heavier, as if he was just asking a simple question.Charlotte's heart trembled, uncontrollably, she remembered that indescribable dream again, and her face instantly flushed red.She steeled herself, pretending to be calm as she met Leandro's gaze: "Oh, really? I have a charity performance tomorrow. I've been practicing this piece recently..."Leandro's hand, resting on the piano, tapped lightly. He didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter, "Do we still have the candy from that day?""Huh?"T
Charlotte found it hard to comprehend. Disturbed by Leandro, she lost the mood to continue practicing. She took her phone and went back to her room to find Elizabeth.Charlotte: Liz, I have a question. I have a friend who also plays the piano. She has a male friend who suddenly told her he was feeling down and asked her to play Robert's "Traumerei" for him.Elizabeth: [Picking nose.JPG] And then?Charlotte: Robert's "Traumerei" was a piece he wrote for his lover Clara. It had a bit of a musical love letter vibe. My friend didn't think much of it at first, she thought that her male friend didn't know the story behind it. But to her surprise, after she finished playing, her male friend suddenly said, "This piece was written by Robert for his lover Clara."Elizabeth: Oh no, then what?Charlotte: After he finished speaking, he also said to my friend, "Thank you, Ms. Farrell, for playing for me." My friend felt that her male friend was playing games wit
"Charlotte?"For the third time, Caroline called Charlotte, but there was still no response. She gently pushed her with her hand.Charlotte was nudged, only then did she snap back to reality, looking at Caroline: "What's up? Are we there yet?"Caroline shook her head, looking at Charlotte with some concern, "Charlotte, are you okay? I just called you three times..."Charlotte was embarrassed, her ears instantly turning red, "It's nothing, I just spaced out for a moment."Because Elizabeth overanalyzed, she had another fanciful dream last night.The first half of the dream was normal, it was just her playing "Traumerei" for Leandro last night, and Leandro thanking her."But the latter part became absurd," Leandro said he had no way to repay, so he had to offer himself, and then he held her and kissed her.The taste of a mango-flavored kiss, she still remembered it even now.It was over, she had been led astray by Liz!
Caroline had no choice but to give up, but she was still a bit worried about Charlotte's calf, "Is your calf okay?""There should be no problem."As the two were talking, a girl in a black mini-dress walked in, the center of everyone's attention.Tiffany, the popular rising star at home.Even if Charlotte didn't surf the internet much, she had heard of this person's big name.Tiffany was Dangelo's junior, the winner of the Newcomer Award five years ago. She rose to fame immediately and has maintained her popularity ever since.No wonder it's such a big deal, Tiffany was invited. That made the charity performance twice as effective."Ms. Bonilla, you've worked hard. It's such a hot day and we've asked you to come over. Please, have some water first."The staff member who had just been rude to Charlotte was now bowing and scraping to Tiffany as if she wished Tiffany could walk all over her.Charlotte watched, finding it am
Adrienne and the person who came in with her were both a bit surprised, "Wasn't Charlotte the special guest performer today?"The staff member standing next to Tiffany was somewhat guilty, "Ms. Bernard's leg injury has recurred, we can't force Ms. Bernard to go on stage, can we, Ms. Mullen?"Adrienne arrived late. Although she didn't know what had just happened, she glanced at Tiffany and probably guessed it.She nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. After all, she was here for a charity performance today, and she didn't have much say in anything.Tiffany saw Charlotte leave and raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, "Not everyone can participate in such a large-scale charity performance."She hummed in satisfaction, finally feeling somewhat exhilarated.The news that Charlotte couldn't participate in the performance due to a recurrence of her foot injury quickly reached the event organizer, Gabriella Harrington.Gabriella was e
Just a moment ago, Caroline was unsure if Leandro would stand up for Charlotte. But upon hearing Leandro say he was going to make a call. She immediately became excited."Charlotte, Mr. Romero stood up for you, shall we not leave?"Charlotte frowned, "I actually didn't really want him to get involved in this matter."When she left, she had already figured out how to vent her anger on herself. She just didn't expect to run into Leandro right outside the door.Charlotte had been in the circle for so many years after all. Although she was low-key, her strength and connections were still useful at critical times.The charity performance this time was personally invited by the chief planner, Gabriella, through a phone call to her.Gabriella was an open-hearted person, and she genuinely wanted to help those with hearing impairments, so she was upfront about why she was invited when she first made the call.The main purpose of this charity p
"Actually, I had a backup plan.""Really? What disadvantage?"Leandro said, returning to the car.He sat in the car, the door wide open, looking at Charlotte, "Come over."Charlotte had no choice but to walk over. She was wearing a little dress that day, which dragged a bit as she walked, so she could only lift the hem and move forward.As soon as she settled into the car, Charlotte smelled the familiar scent of wood.She subconsciously lifted her head, and glanced at the man beside her, only to find that he was looking at her.Those dark pupils were staring at her: "Tell me about your backup plan."The air conditioning was on in the car, and Charlotte felt much less hot.She pointed to Caroline not far away: "Actually, I had arranged for someone to notify the overall planner of this event, Gabriella. The call that Caroline is taking now should be Gabriella apologizing."At first, Charlotte found it a bit difficul
"Perhaps this wasn't my merit, it was Lottie's ability."Caroline didn't catch on immediately, thinking that Leandro was being modest: "Charlotte is certainly talented, but she's just too low-key! Oh, it's not always a good thing for capable people to be too low-key, as it invites all sorts of people to take advantage of them."Caroline was simply upset that Charlotte had been bullied. Once she started talking, she couldn't stop. However, she was self-aware enough to ask, "Mr. Romero, am I talking too much? I mean no harm. I just feel sorry for Charlotte.""I also felt sorry for my wife. Miss Xia, if you encounter such situations in the future, you can directly contact my secretary to handle it.""Is it okay? Would this be too much of a disturbance for you?""Do not disturb."Leandro directly handed a business card of Melvin to Caroline: "This is my secretary's business card."Caroline was taken aback, glancing at Charlotte, "I can't
Watching her guilty look, Leandro chuckled lightly and reached out to touch her, reassuringly saying, "Don't worry, if he kicks you out, I'll walk with you."He said, pausing for a moment, "Moreover, he probably won't ask you to leave tonight."Charlotte heard what he said and thought he was just comforting himself. "But what if he really kicks me out? If you go with me, it would be so embarrassing with all the guests watching, right?"Anyway, today was Marco's sixtieth birthday.Most of the guests tonight were influential figures, and if Leandro angrily left with her...Hmm, that scene was too outrageous, she couldn't even imagine it."It wasn't us who was embarrassing."He laughed, speaking in a casual and indifferent manner, as if he didn't care about Marco at all.Charlotte was taken aback: "Okay."She still believed in Leandro.As they were chatting, the car had already driven into the hotel's entrance.
Charlotte was "dismissed" by Greyson when it wasn't mealtime this time, so she had to leave after sending him to the ward.The hospital parking lot was a bit confusing, and Charlotte was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her way and was afraid to enter through the exit of the inpatient department.She had no choice but to walk along the same path she had come from, heading towards the outpatient department, and entering through the exit of the parking lot over there.It was quite a coincidence.When I came, I met Adan and Paola, they were leaving at that moment, and then I ran into them again.Paola, at this time, had clearly cried and was following behind Adan with a resentful expression on her face.Charlotte didn't want to provoke them, so she took a quick glance and averted her gaze. Subconsciously, she slowed down her pace, intending to wait for them to leave before continuing to walk to the parking lot.I didn't want Pao
Charlotte had no idea that she had just greeted Adan, and Paola and Adan, the two siblings, immediately started arguing.She had no intention of getting to know either of these two people on a deeper level, after all, one was of the opposite sex and the other was a meddlesome character.After walking a distance from the outpatient department, Charlotte finally found the building where Greyson was admitted.At that time, the elevators were crowded with people. She waited for two elevators and decided to take the stairs to the fifth floor.Just as Charlotte stepped out of the elevator and turned into the corridor, she saw Orion standing outside the ward door.Charlotte was somewhat surprised and walked quickly over, saying, "Orion, why are you standing here?"When Orion saw Charlotte, he looked up at her, hesitating to speak.Seeing Orion's reaction, Charlotte immediately realized that something was wrong.She glanced into the wa
Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief only after receiving Elizabeth's message. If she didn't reply soon, Charlotte planned to drive over and check the situation.She lowered her head and looked at the message Elizabeth replied in Line, raising her eyebrows slightly.Strange.When did Elizabeth become so quiet?Charlotte felt something was off, but couldn't figure out what was wrong at that moment.She put away her phone and decided to go to the hospital to see Greyson.The hospital was crowded on Friday, and Charlotte had a hard time finding a parking space.Charlotte was not very familiar with the parking lot of this hospital, so she had to go around in circles before finding the exit.I went out but found that it was not the exit of the inpatient department, but the exit of the outpatient department.She had just confirmed the direction of the hospital ward when she turned around and saw a familiar face.Adan loo
Aidan looked at her and said, "You speak.""This matter, you know and I know, did it happen?"Aidan was choked for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.""That's good, you do as you please, I have to go to the company."Her colleagues were all asking her on Line if she was planning to quit and not work anymore. Compared to the fact that she slept with Aidan last night, Elizabeth felt that keeping her job was a bit more important!"Are you in a hurry to go to the company? I can give you a ride."Elizabeth subconsciously wanted to shake her head, she really didn't want to have any more contact with Aidan.After all, what happened last night was quite outrageous.But as the words were about to come out, she changed her mind and said, "Well, thank you for your trouble, but my boss thought I quit! I have to hurry to the company and explain!""Your boss wouldn't give you a hard time about what happened last nig
The events of last night are replaying in my mind like a movie.Aidan sat on the edge of the bed, not knowing how to solve the matter for a moment.If it was another woman, we would just sleep together and spend some money to solve the problem.But this person was not just anyone, it was Elizabeth.Not to mention that Elizabeth herself is not an ordinary woman, just her relationship with Charlotte, she took care of her last night and put her to bed. It's difficult to end it without getting married.Although the Duncan family always had their older brother to rely on, as the youngest son, he didn't have much pressure.But how could Aidan not know that in such a family, it was not enough for him to marry someone he didn't like in the future.He was not Leandro, but he said he would marry.While Aidan had a headache, Elizabeth knocked on the door again and said, "Wash your face, let's talk."When she just woke up, she was n
In the darkness, both of them did not speak anymore, only the sound of their breaths mingled together.I don't know how long had passed, but Charlotte licked her lips and felt a bit thirsty.I wanted to drink water.She thought so and couldn't help but move a little.Leandro grunted, "Baby, I couldn't bear it either."If you keep messing around, I really can't help it anymore.Charlotte's hard-won composure suddenly went up in flames, "No, I was thirsty."She really didn't mean it.Leandro lightly tapped her on the back, indicating for her to get off him.Charlotte didn't react at first, until she heard him say, "I'll pour you some water." Only then did she understand his meaning and quickly flipped off him.Leandro sat up from the bed, turned on the night light, and then picked up the nearby water glass. He went downstairs to pour water for her.The room was illuminated by a night light. Charlotte sat up i
"Did you go to sleep?"Leandro looked at her round, bright lychee eyes and smiled.Charlotte's ears turned slightly red, and she nodded, "Mmm, mmm."Actually, she was not tired.Leandro raised his hand and turned off the night light.The entire room instantly plunged into darkness, and Charlotte felt the woody scent at the tip of her nose becoming even more distinct.In the darkness, Charlotte swallowed nervously.Last night, the intimate scenes of our skin touching suddenly appeared in my mind, and Charlotte suddenly felt hot.She moved slightly, wanting to brush off the thin blanket from her body.The result was that the blanket was not rubbed off, but accidentally rubbed against Leandro's thigh.Both of them were startled.Leandro struggled to swallow and said, "Lottie, aren't you sleepy?"Charlotte's head was buzzing: "I... feel a bit hot."She just wanted to rub off the blanket from her b
Leandro had finished taking a shower and came out, but Charlotte was still waiting for Elizabeth to reply.She had no choice but to put down her phone and ask the person directly, "Leandro."Leandro turned his head and glanced at her when he heard her calling him, and softly asked, "Hmm?""So... your father's birthday, is it just this week?""Well, on Friday."Charlotte pursed her lips and blinked at him, "So, will you go then?""It depended on the situation.""What's the matter?"He wiped his hair, and his short hair was wiped into a mess, adding a touch of youth to his face.Charlotte looked on, her heart inexplicably moved.But she quickly suppressed her wandering thoughts and looked up at him, waiting for his response.He laughed and said, "Mrs. Romero's situation.""Me?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised, raising her hand and pointing at herself. "What's the matter with me?"How did she no
