The sudden eye contact caught Charlotte off guard, leaving her completely bewildered.
No, didn't you fall asleep?
How can these eyes open as soon as they open?
Her mind went blank for a moment, and her ears and face reacted quickly, already turning completely red.
Charlotte felt her face burning hot. She looked at Leandro for a while before stammering, "You, you were asleep, weren't you?"
"No."
Couldn't sleep?
Didn't Leandro know what she had just done?
This realization made Charlotte want to escape, but she couldn't escape!
The man's hand was still gripping her wrist, and she tried to struggle, but he held on even tighter.
The next second, Charlotte heard the other person ask in a deep voice, "What were you doing just now, Ms. Bernard?"
Faced with the questioning of the parties involved, Charlotte's mind went blank. She looked at him in extreme embarrassment and said, "I, I think I was drunk, Mr. Romero."<
Just as she was at a loss, Charlotte suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I've got it!""Is that so?"I don't know why, but Charlotte felt that every time Leandro said "Is that so?", he didn't believe her.As soon as she heard this sentence, she felt a bit embarrassed and guilty reflexively, "Really, really!""Oh."He responded with a sound, released the hand that had fallen on her back, but the left hand on her back remained unretracted.Charlotte could feel him gently touching her cervical vertebrae, each touch was light, as if he had touched her, yet as if he hadn't."You got drunk twice before, and both times you really enjoyed it when I touched you.""I, I don't remember.""Shall I help you remember?"Charlotte was dumbfounded when she heard what he said.She had no idea how to respond to this statement!How else can this be taken?"Just kidding."Just as she was at a loss, the ma
Charlotte sat on the ground for a while, thinking that it had been quite some time since the two of them went down. If they didn't go back up soon, Joyce would probably call the police.It was just the drunk Leandro...Charlotte stood up, leaning on the wine cabinet behind her. She looked down at the man still sitting there and said, "Mr. Romero, shall we go upstairs?"Upon hearing her words, the man lifted his head and looked at her for a moment with his dark eyes, asking, "What are you going up for?"Listen!Is this the kind of question that Leandro would normally ask?"I went upstairs to have a meal."She said, reaching out her hand, and pulled him up.He got up with her help and said, "I had no appetite."Drunk, of course, the appetite was not good!"Did you go up to rest?"He furrowed his brows, pondering her proposal earnestly.After about five seconds, he nodded.Charlotte worried that
How should this question be answered?How could she not be moved?But what was their relationship?They were a fake couple!Charlotte glanced at Leandro and quickly said, "You go eat, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep, goodnight!"After saying that, she turned around and ran away!In just five or six seconds, a "bang" of the closing door was heard.The man looked at the closed door of the guest room and curved his thin lips, a smile appearing in his dark eyes. "Did your heart skip a beat?"Hmm, that's great.Lying in bed, Charlotte listened to the sound of her rapidly beating heart, grateful that she had run fast, otherwise she would have been done for!Liz said it well, a man like Leandro, no woman could resist being attracted to him.Charlotte couldn't help but sigh, regretting her unwarranted thoughts.Be more dedicated, Charlotte!You are currently cooperating with each other and benefiti
"Is that so?"Leandro took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped his hands.Charlotte heard these words, and her hands trembled beneath her. "Yes, yes."She said and chuckled, "Mr. Romero, you go to work, I occasionally have a poor appetite."Leandro looked at her for a moment and said, "Hmm."He did not ask any further and got up from the table.He took two steps and then stopped, turning around to look at Charlotte, who was relieved. "Yesterday afternoon, thank you," he said."No, no need to thank."She was the one who caused more trouble compared to him.Leandro averted his gaze, turned around, and went upstairs.Soon, Charlotte saw him coming down from upstairs, having tied his tie."Safe travels, Mr. Romero."Charlotte raised her hand and waved, Leandro glanced at her and responded faintly with a "Hmm" before leaving.Soon, Charlotte heard the sound of a car engine outside.She purs
Elizabeth's suggestion can't be said to be completely absurd, but it can't be said to be reasonable either.Charlotte understood her friend's good intentions, but she personally wanted more.Although it is said that women pursue men through a veil, it is also possible that there is a mountain between them.Moreover, she had initially used a car accident to threaten Leandro into marrying her, forcing him to get involved. Now, although they have a cooperative relationship, she has other intentions.If Leandro knew that she was interested, would he think she was despicable?She... didn't want to be seen that way in his eyes!Even if you want to pursue, at least wait until the contract ends, right?Charlotte made a decision and kept all her thoughts to herself.Joyce came up and called her to have lunch. Charlotte was embarrassed, she didn't expect that she had been tangled up all morning, for over three hours, and hadn't done anyt
Upon hearing this, Joyce hastened her movements. "Almost done, ma'am. Just wait for another five minutes!""It's okay, I was just asking."Poor Joyce, she really couldn't find any other excuses to run away.After clarifying her thoughts, Charlotte began to make an effort to restrain her feelings for Leandro.At least, at least don't always stare at others infatuatedly!It's just liking someone, it's hard to control.Charlotte tried hard for several days, but the results were very poor.Especially after realizing that she had developed feelings for Leandro, she no longer felt as comfortable around him as she used to.Several times, she couldn't bear it anymore and just made excuses to run away.Just when Charlotte was suffering in this "sweet infatuation," finally came some good news: "Mr. Romero was going on a business trip!"I have been on a business trip for quite a while, seven days to be exact!Finally,
Charlotte felt that there was something missing from the tie in her hand. She put it back and picked another one, then walked back to the suit and compared it again.However, doing it this way, the effect was slightly worse. She simply put on the tie and took two steps back, intending to see the result.I took a step back unwillingly, only to collide with the man's solid chest.Charlotte was startled for a moment and instinctively turned around, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry!"She lowered her head and looked at her foot that she had accidentally stepped on, "I didn't notice you."She lifted her head again and looked at Leandro's face, cautiously asking, "Did I not step on you?""No."His black eyes glanced at her, and Leandro withdrew his hand that was resting on her shoulder, "Choosing a tie?"Charlotte frowned and said, "My taste in aesthetics might not be very good.""Who said that?"She didn't react immediately, "Huh
"I forgot to ask earlier, what kind of business trip gift do you want?"Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then realized and instinctively wanted to say no, but immediately remembered the sentence Leandro said last time, "Melvin picked a gift for his girlfriend." She realized that she had to have this business trip gift, whether she wanted it or not.She thought for a moment, "Mango candy, is it okay?"The man looked at her and chuckled lightly, "Do you like eating that much?"She looked embarrassed, "Well, I just wanted to try different mango candies.""Okay."Charlotte didn't know if it was her illusion, but she thought Leandro was "good", gentle and indulgent.Oh no, now she even knows how to sabotage herself.That night, Charlotte had a dream with a "mango flavor".The next day, the alarm clock rang, and she opened her eyes, looking at the familiar ceiling, only then realizing it was a dream.It was so real!
Charlotte just remembered, "I'm sorry, I forgot."She quickly took out her phone, scanned Adan's QR code, and then added him as a friend."Go back and change your clothes, have a hot drink, and be careful not to catch a cold.""Thank you."Adan looked at the person and made a slight sound of disapproval, saying, "If you really feel guilty, next time we meet, just treat me to a meal."Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, thank you so much for today."Otherwise, with such heavy rain, if she had waited for the trailer rescue, her clothes would have been completely wet.The temperature today was not low, but it rained, making it a bit cold. In addition, she was in a special period. If she got completely wet, she would definitely catch a cold.Furthermore, Adan's secretary Edgar might still be waiting in the rain for the tow truck rescue.She really felt grateful."Okay."Adan nodded and watched as
It was raining heavily, and although Charlotte was holding an umbrella, her lower legs got wet in no time.In the morning when she left, she didn't feel cold. But now, standing in the wind and rain, Charlotte gradually started to feel cold.She called the trailer company and, holding her phone, she was originally planning to send a Line message to Leandro, but she was afraid that he would worry.After hesitating for a moment, she still sent a Line message to Leandro. She still remembered the incident of taking Adan to the hospital last time.Better not to anger Mr. Romero.In the black Maybach, Adan just hung up the phone and looked out of the side window.The blue Maserati parked on the road, attracting a lot of attention.The peach blossom eyes slightly curved, not knowing which unlucky soul it was.He averted his gaze, but then turned it back after catching a glimpse of a familiar figure: "Stop the car."The road was
Charlotte arranged to have lunch with Elizabeth near her company. After leaving the hospital, she drove directly to Elizabeth's company.Elizabeth left early before 12 o'clock, Charlotte was browsing Twitter when someone suddenly knocked on the table.She instinctively looked up and, upon seeing Elizabeth, was somewhat surprised, "You're here so soon?"Elizabeth put down her bag and said, "It feels like it's going to rain. I sneaked over before work ended."She took the menu from Charlotte's hand and asked, "How is Uncle's condition? When is the surgery scheduled?""The medical examination results just came out, and the doctor said they will arrange it in the next two days."Elizabeth nodded her head and said, "Once you put on the brace, you won't have to worry anymore. You can also relax.""Yeah! But I felt like my dad was hiding something from me!""That phone call?""Hmm." Charlotte hummed lightly, flipping through th
Greyson looked at the person and said, "What do you want to do?"The woman looked at Greyson and smiled, "Charlotte just left, right?"The daughter is Greyson's only soft spot now. When she mentioned Charlotte, Greyson's face completely turned cold: "If you dare to harass Lottie, I will make you regret it!"The woman seemed indifferent and chuckled lightly, saying, "Then I want to see Mr. Bernard's sincerity."She spoke and took out a card, placing it in front of Greyson. "Mr. Bernard does seem to care about your daughter, but don't forget, I am also your daughter."The woman's face suddenly turned cold as she said, "If you don't want Charlotte to know about this, I suggest you be more tactful."She finished speaking and took out a card from her bag, placing it in front of Greyson. "Here is a card, within three days, I want to see your sincerity!"Greyson picked up the card and tore it directly, saying, "You must be dreaming! I only h
Monday.When Charlotte woke up, Leandro was already on his way to the airport.She lay on her side, looking at the empty bed beside her. After a while, she got up and went to wash up.Joyce saw her coming downstairs and prepared breakfast.The weather today was also nice, but it seemed colder than yesterday.Greyson's medical examination results could be available this morning. She had to go to the hospital to discuss the surgical arrangements with her attending physician.Before leaving, Joyce handed her an umbrella: "Mrs. Romero, the weather forecast said it would rain today."Charlotte took the umbrella and smiled at Joyce, saying, "Thank you, Joyce! I'm going to the hospital, I won't be back for lunch!"She had made an appointment with Elizabeth at noon, as they hadn't seen each other for almost ten days."Okay, be careful on the way.""Uh-huh."Charlotte left home a bit early today and encountered the
Charlotte and Leandro ate lunch at home.After finishing lunch, she felt a bit sore in her waist and her stomach wasn't very comfortable. After practicing the piano for an hour, she went back to her room and took a nap.Charlotte was feeling a bit sleepy, probably due to her menstrual cycle.This afternoon nap, she slept directly from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM.After a good night's sleep, she felt much better. She went to the balcony and enjoyed the breeze for a while, then went to the piano room.When Auntie came up with the brown sugar water, Charlotte only then found out that Leandro had just returned to the company half an hour ago."Mr. Romero said he can't have dinner with you, let me tell you, Mrs. Romero.""Oh, okay, I got it."Joyce finished conveying the message and then asked Charlotte what she wanted to eat for dinner.She didn't have much appetite, so Joyce was asked to watch over her.Leandro didn't come ba
Leandro had already changed the bed sheets. When he saw her coming out, his gaze fell on her feet, and he immediately walked over and lifted her up. "Why aren't you wearing slippers?"Charlotte looked down at her feet and realized that she had been walking without shoes all along.She awkwardly said, "I forgot."When Leandro picked her up and put her on the toilet just now, she wasn't wearing slippers. After finishing, she completely forgot about wearing slippers.Leandro placed her on the bed and bent down, holding the soles of her feet.Charlotte didn't feel her feet cold just now, but now they are being held by his hands, his big warm palms covering her soles, the comfortable and soothing feeling makes her want to keep it forever.But not long after, Leandro covered her feet to keep them warm, took a tissue from her dressing table, and then came back to help her wipe her feet. After that, he directly put her legs into the thin blanket and
The cat's humming sound, like cat claws scratching, was teasing every nerve of Leandro.And his pride in self-control, at this moment, finally crumbled completely.Leandro held her slender and long neck, lifting her slightly and pulling her closer to his body. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her delicate collarbone.He kissed her slowly and gently, just like a devout believer.Charlotte could feel the delicacy and tenderness of each of his kisses clearly, as the tingling sensation increased in range with each kiss.She was like a bamboo shoot, peeled off its outer layer, revealing delicate skin.The coldness of the air conditioner hit, and Charlotte shivered for a moment.The man's arms were warm and strong, and she was held by him, the coldness diminished slightly. However, the embarrassment and the upcoming events made her feel a certain unknown fear.Just when she thought it was about to happen, Leandro suddenly grabbed
Charlotte was afraid that Elizabeth would send her explicit novels, so she quickly logged out of Line after saying goodnight.At that moment, Leandro came out of the bathroom.She took a glance and, for some reason, it reminded her of what Elizabeth had just said, "It's not only couples who sleep together, nor is it only those who don't."She instinctively thought about her marriage with Leandro, which had been almost five months, and realized that they hadn't had any intimate moments as a couple yet. She wondered if it was a bit absurd.At the thought of this, Charlotte's face had immediately become flushed.She instinctively raised her hand and covered her cheek, wanting to cool down her face.Leandro looked at her like that and asked with a smile, "What was Mrs. Romero thinking?""No, I didn't think about anything."Charlotte was very guilty, she didn't dare to tell him that she had just been thinking about the married life
