Elizabeth hung up the phone, her colleague saw the joy on her face and couldn't help but ask, "What happened, why are you so happy?""The anniversary celebration matter has been resolved; I am happy!"My colleague was slightly surprised when she heard this and said, "Is it true? Do you know Leandro?"Elizabeth also didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with Charlotte, in case there would be a similar situation in the future and she would have to be the scapegoat again."Not exactly acquainted, just lucky!" she said, pausing for a moment. "Enough talking, I'm going to call for a runner to deliver the invitation!"Elizabeth said and then ran off, causing her colleagues behind her to start discussing."Was she pretending? Leandro never attends such events, and moreover, our company has no collaboration with their company. How could Elizabeth possibly have invited Leandro over?""I saw her like that, and she didn't seem like she was deceiving us..."***Charlotte refilled the g
Charlotte looked at him and blinked her eyes slightly, "So, you agreed, right?""Um."Leandro responded with a nod and gently patted her hand back, saying, "I brought you a business trip gift."Upon hearing his words, almond eyes instantly lit up: "Mango candy?"He looked at her, smiling but saying nothing.Charlotte was a little excited and asked, "Where is it?"Leandro pointed inside her dressing table with his hand and said, "On the dressing table."She quickly got off him and said, "I want to go take a look!"I don't know when it started, but Leandro would always bring her mango candies as a business gift when he went on business trips.Charlotte walked into the inner room wearing slippers and before she reached the dressing table, she saw a candy box placed on top of it.Her eyes lit up, and she unconsciously quickened her pace and walked over.Walking up to the dressing table, Charlotte only then noticed that besides a box of mango candies, there was also a jewelry box on one sid
"Don't like it?""No!"How could one not like it?She thought that this bracelet was very special, with obvious differences from the popular styles on the market, and couldn't help but take a few more glances."Help you put it on?"Charlotte handed over her wrist when she heard his words, saying, "Why are you suddenly buying me a bracelet?"She liked to keep her hands clean while playing the piano, so she rarely wore bracelets or rings. However, her jewelry box was not lacking in bracelets.Leandro picked up the bracelet and as he put it on her wrist, he said, "I thought it would suit Mrs. Romero, so I bought it.""Hmm?"Leandro buttoned up his shirt and glanced at her, saying, "Mrs. Romero, don't worry, this bracelet didn't cost much."Charlotte looked at the bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help but reach out and touch it, looking at him curiously. "It didn't cost much, how much did it cost?"She felt that her idea of "not spending much money" was not the same as Leandro's.Leandro
Leandro said this, with a slight movement of his eyebrows and eyes, lowering his head and looking straight at Charlotte: "I can't really claim to have done a good deed, but I just wanted to give 'a lifetime' to Mrs. Romero."Charlotte understood what he said, and her face immediately turned red.I lowered my head and looked at the bracelet in my hand, and a slight smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of my mouth.A lifetime, ah.The name sounds quite nice.She reached out and touched the bracelet on her wrist again, "Thank you, I really like it."Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Take a nap?"Charlotte was taken aback. Just as she was about to speak, the doorbell of the villa rang.She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It must be the delivery person. I'll go downstairs and get it."After saying that, she turned around and ran out.Leandro watched her figure as she walked away, but he didn't expose her. His thin lips curved slightly, and he turned around and entered the wa
As she spoke, her subconscious hand underneath instinctively grabbed a hold of Leandro's pajama hem.The hem of the clothes was grabbed, and Leandro's gaze slightly shifted downwards, catching sight of the white jade-like finger on his hem. His black pupils flickered, resembling an unfathomable whirlpool, gathering into a single point.In an instant, he withdrew his gaze and shifted his eyes to those almond eyes. His Adam's apple rolled restrainedly and he said, "Okay."Charlotte's face was burning, but the desire in her heart was too strong to resist. She tentatively reached out and grabbed his pajamas, pursing her lips in restraint for a moment. In the end, she couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her hand and reached around his waist, embracing the man's strong waist and burying her head directly into his embrace.The familiar scent of wood wafted at the tip of her nose, because they were so close, the scent of wood was much clearer than what she usually smelled. The faint joy
Charlotte had never felt the desire of a man so palpably before. Her whole body was stiff, and she didn't dare to move at all.The room was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing, and the distinct scent of wood constantly reminded her of her current situation.I don't know how long it had been, but Charlotte was starting to feel overwhelmed. Her hands were starting to feel numb.She slowly lifted her head and found that Leandro's eyes were tightly closed, as if he was asleep.She looked at Leandro for a few seconds and softly called out to him, "Leandro, were you asleep?"Charlotte waited for a while, didn't hear a response from the other party, and only then did she confirm that he had really fallen asleep.She let out a small sigh of relief and carefully moved out of Leandro's embrace.She knew he was a light sleeper, so she was afraid of waking him up. After moving away, she lay flat for a while before daring to adjust her sleeping position.Just as I had adjusted my s
She glanced nervously outside and didn't see Leandro. Charlotte then walked over to the piano and answered the phone, "Hello?""Charlene, are you sure you won't participate in this competition?"Charlotte bit her lip and said, "Forget it, next year!"Upon hearing her words, the person on the other end of the phone seemed visibly anxious. "Are you really not considering it anymore? We really hope that you can participate in this competition! We have already arranged for media coverage for this competition, and you will definitely become famous if you take part!"This was exactly what Charlotte was most worried about. She didn't want to become famous overnight!Charlotte hesitated a little, but still refused, "Forget it, I really can't participate this year, my leg just recovered from an injury."Upon hearing her insistence, the person on the other end of the phone sighed and regretfully responded, "Alright, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime. I will reserve your sp
Charlotte blinked her eyes and then ran over, her gaze falling on the collar in front of him, and then looking down again. "Shall I help you tie your tie?"Leandro raised an eyebrow and lifted his hand with a tie, smiling as he looked at her. "Well then, thank you, Mrs. Romero."Charlotte frowned and took the tie from his hand.She used to think that Leandro was tall, but she never had a very clear perception until now, when she stood in front of him holding a tie.Her naked body was 167 cm tall, which can't be considered tall, but it can be considered above average. However, at the moment, she had to tiptoe in order to properly fasten the safety belt for Leandro.This was her second time tying a tie for Leandro. The last time, she was too nervous and tied it loosely, not at all properly. She wanted to adjust it, but she was too shy and, smelling the woody scent nearby, her hands kept hesitating, so she had to give up in the end.Now the two of them had become familiar with each other.
Leandro was amused by her determined and eager appearance, "I haven't unbuckled my seatbelt yet.""Ah? Oh, then I helped you solve it!"Charlotte blushed, loosened her grip, and bent over to fasten the seatbelt.With a click, the seatbelt released from Leandro's body and retracted.She straightened up and pulled him back: "We flipped in from the side."Upon hearing her words, Leandro's eyebrows twitched, "Mrs. Romero seems familiar."Charlotte glanced at him guiltily and said, "I guessed."In fact, during her student days, Elizabeth used to come to the cemetery when she was being bullied by her stepmother.At first, she didn't know that Elizabeth had come over here until one night when she had a fight with her dad and ran away. Charlotte looked for her in many places but couldn't find her. She was getting desperate and was about to call the police when she suddenly remembered West Cemetery.So she asked Greyson to bring
Charlotte was being led by Leandro towards the exit. Just before they reached the hall, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it a bit impolite for us to leave like this?"Marco didn't like her, but basic courtesy and manners were still necessary.Anyway, he was Leandro's biological father, that's just an undeniable fact.Upon hearing her words, Leandro paused and looked at her with a faint smile, "Mrs. Romero is right, it was indeed a bit impolite."He said, holding her hand, they changed direction and walked towards Marco standing on the side of the stage.Marco was already angry, but his face improved slightly when he saw Leandro turning back.To my surprise, Leandro spoke up and said, "Dad, we have something to do, so we're leaving first."Charlotte quickly spoke up, "Sir Romero, we are leaving now."Marco's face, which had just brightened up, now looked unpleasant again. "Since you're so busy, don't come next time."He sai
She just raised her hand and touched her earlobe, and suddenly felt a rush of heat, followed by Leandro's deep voice sounding in her ear, "I also like Mrs. Romero."Charlotte's ears were originally just turning red, but upon hearing her words, both of her ears turned red, and her face became even hotter.Although she has become much thicker-skinned now, when Leandro said such things to her in public, she still couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.Not far away, Marco had already taken the stage.Charlotte looked at it, but her attention was not there at all.Leandro leaned in close, his breath hitting her neck, hot and ticklish. Her mind was buzzing with warmth, with only his words from a moment ago.Because of Leandro's words, she didn't hear what Daisy said to her.After Daisy finished speaking, she went to find Carlo with Diana. It was only then that Charlotte came to her senses and waved her hand gently at her.The l
Charlotte met Daisy's parents today and only then did she find out that Daisy's personality of liking to give things to people is similar to someone's.After Carlo left with the acquaintance from the mall, there were only Diana, Daisy, and her left here.Charlotte had been thinking about whether she would delay Mr. and Mrs. Clements and their acquaintances in greeting, but she didn't expect that as soon as Carlo left, Diana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, he's gone. Having a big man like him here really affects us!"Daisy hummed and nodded, "Exactly, Dad also likes to say empty words. Just now, Lottie could barely keep up with the conversation."Diana took Charlotte's hand and said, "Ms. Bernard, Daisy calls you Lottie. Do you mind if I also call you Lottie? You don't have to pay attention to what Daisy's dad said. He's just been in the business world for too long and likes to put on airs."Charlotte frowned and said, "It's okay, Dian
Daisy gritted her teeth and couldn't help but say, "Green tea man!"How did she not know that Leandro was so two-faced before?Charlotte didn't hear what Daisy said clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Daisy, what did you just say?"Daisy naturally didn't want Charlotte to focus her attention on Leandro again. "It's nothing, I'll take you to meet my parents! They would be very happy to see you!"Charlotte didn't refuse either, Daisy remembers the events from five years ago until now, which shows that she is a grateful person.The parents who could raise a grateful daughter like Daisy must have been good.Moreover, Daisy mentioned her already, so there's no better time than the present. Let's meet today, which can also fulfill their wishes."Okay."Charlotte smiled with a curved lip and followed Daisy forward.Along the way, many people looked at them, harboring jealousy towards Daisy's and Charlotte's attitudes.Th
With Daisy's words, Charlotte also started to remember a little.She had forgotten all about it, it was too long ago.After the competition that day, they could have left after the award ceremony, but the organizers suddenly asked them to record a performance video.She was the first one, so the performance video was recorded first.After finishing the recording, she was ready to leave. If she didn't leave soon, her mask would be taken off by someone.But it was quite a coincidence that day, Karissa said she wanted to film a short clip of herself, so she drove her motorboat to the other side to record the video.Just as she finished recording, she was about to leave when she heard someone shouting from the shore.It was already sunset at that time, and it was too far away for her to see clearly. However, following the direction that people on the shore were staring at, she did see a person standing on the reef.At this time, th
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt an itch on her cheek.Charlotte froze for a moment, her ears turning slightly red.But her gaze shifted to Daisy beside her, who seemed as if nothing had happened, whispering in her ear, "Five years ago, after you finished the Tolujamo competition, you came back and saved someone who got caught in the rising tide and couldn't make it back to shore. Don't you remember?"That night, Daisy really thought that her fate was there. She had never learned how to swim since she was a child, but she had a natural love for the sea.In my sophomore year, my friends and I went to Tolujamo for a trip. We heard that there was a jet ski competition, so out of curiosity, we all went to watch it.After the competition ended, it was the perfect time to watch the sunset. Daisy brought her DSLR camera and climbed onto the outermost rocks to capture the sunset.She was taking the photos seriously and didn't pay attention
Leandro watched as Charlotte walked away before he averted his gaze. He glanced briefly at Marco and then shifted his focus onto Elvis, saying, "Come with me."Elvis felt guilty under Leandro's gaze, "I didn't go, I was busy!"Marissa slapped Elvis on the palm and said, "Go quickly, Leandro wants to talk to you!""Mom!"Are you stupid or something? Does Leandro look like he has something to say to you?He might be in for a punch like this!Of course, Elvis didn't dare to say that.He also knew that his mother was just pretending to be cunning, but in reality, she was just a naive and innocent person."Go quickly!"Marissa urged again.Elvis gritted his teeth and followed Leandro as they walked out of the banquet hall and directly into the rooftop garden on the second floor."Do you have any complaints about me?"Where did Elvis dare to have any objections to Leandro, but he felt annoyed when he heard
Looking at Charlotte and Daisy in front of him, Marco's emotions were very complicated.On one hand, he didn't want to give Charlotte a good face, but on the other hand, he couldn't be cold in front of Daisy.Charlotte was quite clever, continuing the conversation after Daisy's words, if he were to leave abruptly, Daisy would definitely ask for an explanation.Marco looked for two seconds, but in the end, he couldn't cool down his face and kindly smiled at Daisy, saying, "You're thoughtful."This birthday was quite miserable.Leandro, who was standing next to Charlotte, finally spoke after hearing his response, "Dad."Marco glanced at Leandro and said, "You do remember that I am your father, don't you?"Marissa was afraid of the father and son arguing, so she quickly pulled on Marco's sleeve and said, "Marco, it's such a beautiful day, why are you saying these things?"Marissa said, her gaze falling on Daisy, shifting the topic
