"Is there something wrong?"
Leandro pulled on a bathrobe, covering his eight-pack abs, but the wide neckline was a bit low.
Charlotte struggled to regain her composure, pretending to look at him nonchalantly, "I just received a call, it was from your father's secretary."
"What was said?"
Leandro turned and walked into the room, Charlotte hesitated for a moment but had no choice but to follow him in.
"...said your father wanted to see me, at half past twelve tomorrow noon at Beachmarsh Restaurant."
"Don't mind him."
Charlotte nodded, "Actually, I didn't really want to see him either."
"Mm-hmm."
Leandro responded, "Do you need a follow-up for your leg?"
"Yes, the follow-up appointment was tomorrow."
"In the morning?"
"Um, the morning call."
Leandro furrowed his brows, "Call me after your follow-up appointment, I'll come to pick you up."
He had a meeting in the morning, which he couldn't c
Hearing her words, Leandro suddenly burst into laughter.The man's laughter was deep and rich. Charlotte listened, her face rolling through wave after wave of heat.She hung her head, wishing she could dig a hole right there and bury herself.Leandro laughed for a while before he finally stopped and said, "No need to compensate.""But--"She tore the sofa!A sofa worth over three million!"Feeling guilty?"Charlotte kept nodding. This sofa worth more than three million probably cured her nervous habit of constantly picking at her fingers!After all, not everyone was as kind and generous as Leandro!Ah, Leandro was such a good man!Leandro looked at her thoughtfully, "Do you know how to massage?"Charlotte didn't understand, but still sincerely replied, "A little."Greyson had a problem with migraines, she learned some massage techniques and would massage him whenever she had time."I di
This had already been the third time Charlotte zoned out.Elizabeth clicked her tongue lightly, sat down directly next to Charlotte, and hooked her arm over her shoulder. "Lottie, what's got you so entranced that you didn't even respond when I called you three times?"Charlotte was suddenly embraced by Elizabeth. Her thoughts immediately flew back. Looking at Elizabeth, she felt a bit guilty, "I was just thinking about something."Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, "What are you thinking about, so engrossed?"What were you thinking about?Of course, it was about the embarrassing incident last night!God knows what got into her last night. After Leandro finished his sentence, she was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out and touched his abs.The scene at that time was extremely awkward. Even now, whenever Charlotte thought about it, she still felt so embarrassed that her scalp tingled and she wished she could just disappear.H
With an "I knew it" expression on her face, Elizabeth looked at Charlotte, who was earnestly lecturing and said, "Besides, Leandro is your legitimate husband. What's wrong with you touching him? Even if you kiss him, he can only endure it, right?"Charlotte's face was all red. Elizabeth was right, but saying such things in public was too much for her thin skin. She quickly changed the subject, "You're right! So why would Daisy want to publicly thank me?"Whenever Daisy was mentioned, Elizabeth's attention was diverted: "Speaking of which, this Ms. Clements, is really inscrutable."Charlotte let out a slight sigh of relief.At that moment, the food was served. The two of them were discussing Daisy's incredible actions while also complaining about some envious weirdos in their circle.A meal was enjoyed heartily by two best friends.Charlotte accidentally ate too much and felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, "Liz, I think I ate too much."
"Boo hoo hoo, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match in terms of social status!""It was enough that my boyfriend was handsome, but he would also come to pick me up whenever it rained. This kind of on-call availability, I was truly envious."Angela walked under Marcus's umbrella amidst the envious gazes and sounds of the crowd.When she hooked up with Marcus, she gave Tiana Flynn a wink.Tiana glanced in Charlotte's direction and spoke up directly, "Mr. Gallagher, Ms. Bernard is also here, won't you give her a ride as well?"Marcus's face changed slightly, he turned around and quickly spotted Charlotte in the crowd."Lottie."He restrainedly shouted.In the crowd, Charlotte, suddenly cued, said: "..."She somewhat regretted stopping Elizabeth from tearing Tiana's mouth.Before Marcus could speak, Angela asked generously, "Ms. Bernard, would you like a ride?""No need, someone came to pick me
Leandro's sudden appearance clearly shattered Marcus's "illusion".Of course, he also slapped Tiana and Daisy hard.Daisy had been dissatisfied with Marcus's insistence on staying, but thinking that Charlotte was just showing off, she thought it might not be a bad idea to stay and watch the spectacle.Just a few minutes had passed, and Leandro appeared!The three of them had different thoughts, but Elizabeth was very pleased.She was about to make a sarcastic remark, when a young man in a suit, holding an umbrella, glanced her way, "Hello, are you Miss Elizabeth, a friend of Mrs. Romero?"Elizabeth was somewhat taken aback, staring at the man in front of her. It took her a couple of seconds to nod and say, "Yes, it's me. What's up?""I was Mr. Romero's secretary, Melvin. Mr. Romero sent me to take you home, Ms. Farrell. With such heavy rain, it's hard to get a cab."The man's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough f
Meanwhile.Sitting in the car, Charlotte was reflecting on everything that had just happened, wondering if she had been kicked in the head by a donkey.How did she just - just run straight into Leandro's arms?Thinking back to the moment when she had bumped into Leandro, her heart would still involuntarily quicken at the memory.You were so pathetic, Charlotte!It was just a play, why are you still here blushing like a primary school kid who has never been in love?But he was Leandro, yeah!Right, he was Leandro!The cream of the crop among men!"What were you thinking about?"In the quiet carriage, a male voice suddenly sounded.Charlotte paused for a moment, looked up at the man beside her, and blurted out as usual, "Thinking about the best among men."No sooner had her words fallen than she distinctly saw a strange change in Leandro's facial expression.His dark eyes were fixed on her, and
Charlotte's breath hitched, she stared at Leandro, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry..."She said, reaching out to take the phone.Leandro didn't give her a hard time, he simply let go and placed the phone directly in her hand.Charlotte took the phone, her ear burning, and guiltily glanced at Leandro.You didn't see it, did you?The driver ahead was apologizing, saying that a delivery vehicle suddenly rushed out.Leandro didn't say much, "Drive."Larry secretly wiped off his sweat, driving even more cautiously.The carriage fell silent again, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.Leandro didn't react, which meant he didn't see it.Actually, it wasn't a big deal even when she saw it, she didn't say much to Elizabeth, it was all words of praise for him!Ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa.Charlotte and Leandro got out of the car, and the two of them walked side by side from the garage to the livi
Charlotte didn't know if Leandro had insomnia, but she herself didn't sleep well the whole night.The cell phone alarm rang, Charlotte struggled for a while but resignedly answered the call."Just woke up?"A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. Charlotte listened, finding it somewhat familiar, but for the moment, she couldn't remember who it was."Who were you?""It seems Ms. Bernard really is a busy person. Last time, you mentioned that there might be a part-time job and we could contact you again."Charlotte had just woken up a moment ago, feeling a bit dazed and her mind was somewhat sluggish.But by then, she had already remembered who the person was: "Dangelo?!""Congratulations, Ms. Bernard, you guessed correctly."Charlotte was taken aback, the last bit of sleepiness completely gone, "Is there something you need?""Of course, I was going on tour next month, and the first stop was Aelmere. Ther
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
