Charlotte carefully touched the piano keys, looking back at Leandro, "Mr. Romero, was this prepared for me?"
"No."
"Ah."
The smile on her face disappeared instantly, filled with disappointment. She immediately withdrew her hand, stood up from the chair, and walked back to Leandro's side, laughing awkwardly, "Who was that for?"
After Charlotte finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, "Is this what you prepared for your love?"
"..."
Charlotte looked at the man's suddenly cold gaze, feeling that she had probably guessed right. She quickly apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't know just now and accidentally touched it. If you mind, should I clean it with disinfectant?"
Elizabeth said that in the novel, the overbearing CEO had an extremely strong possessive desire for his beloved one. If anyone touched her, the CEO would want to kill them.
Leandro... She didn't know if he was domineering, but she knew he was a boss
Around five in the evening, Charlotte suddenly received a Line message from Leandro, saying that they would have dinner together outside and he had already sent the driver to pick her up.Charlotte subconsciously assumed it was a business dinner and quickly got up from the bed, "Is there any dress code? Do I need to put on makeup?"Although it was a plastic "Mrs. Romero", it couldn't disgrace Leandro.Soon, Charlotte received a noncommittal reply from Leandro: "As long as you're happy.""..."Although Leandro said she could choose whatever she liked, Charlotte still picked a rather gentle and ladylike long skirt. Then she applied a light makeup on herself. Taking advantage of the driver's absence, she spent ten minutes braiding a fishtail braid.Charlotte was very satisfied with her gentle, generous, and slightly sweet outfit. She picked up her bag and went downstairs.Just as I got downstairs, the doorbell rang.The face of Le
Charlotte was sitting in a wheelchair, with Leandro pushing it from behind. They had just come out of the elevator, and the one next to it had also opened.The person who came out of the elevator was none other than Marcus.There was another woman beside Marcus, and the woman was not Lydia.Charlotte was quite surprised that Lydia actually didn't get promoted. Her rank was not good enough.She only glanced at the two before averting her gaze, and Leandro didn't even give Marcus a look, pushing the wheelchair straight into the restaurant.Marcus hadn't expected to run into Charlotte here. He hadn't seen Charlotte for several days. Now that he saw her, he instinctively called out, "Lottie!"However, as soon as he finished speaking, Leandro had already pushed Charlotte into the restaurant.Marcus looked a bit upset. He turned back to glance at Angela Beltran, "Ms. Beltran, how about we reschedule for another day?"However, Angela
Marcus looked at Charlotte, subconsciously wanting to walk over. But as soon as he took a step in Charlotte's direction, he saw Leandro's hand suddenly land on her lips.The man's actions were gentle, and the woman was slightly shy, creating an ambiguous and intimate atmosphere.Marcus only felt a harsh twist in his heart, he wished he could go and take Charlotte away right then.However, all he could do was think, as the current Charlotte wouldn't even spare him a glance.Thinking of this, Marcus only felt a bitterness in his throat.Angela, who was standing nearby, had noticed Marcus watching Charlotte earlier, his expression growing increasingly unpleasant. Now, it seemed like he was about to approach Charlotte. Finally, she couldn't hold back, "Mr. Gallagher, our table is over here."Hearing Angela's voice, Marcus finally shifted his gaze, following Angela to sit down on the other side.Their seats were about seven or eight meters
Compared to the unpleasantness of Marcus and Angela leaving before their meal even arrived, Charlotte and Leandro were incredibly harmonious.Charlotte even had a few drinks at Leandro's suggestion.Her alcohol tolerance had always been quite poor, she couldn't drink much even if it was red wine.However, eating French cuisine without drinking wine, indeed lacked a bit of flavor.Expensive things, apart from being expensive, were perfect in every other way.Charlotte was very satisfied with this dinner. She only had a few sips of the appetizing white wine but unknowingly finished half a glass of red wine that came with the main course.By the time she realized it, her cheeks were already somewhat red.Leandro across the table had long finished eating. Seeing her look over, he lifted his gaze, his thick eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, making his dark pupils appear even more profound. "Are you full?"Charlotte nodded,
The man's cold voice seemed to be holding back something, causing Charlotte's heart to tremble. Her hands hung by her sides, like a primary school student being punished to stand, daring not to move again.Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Did your foot just touch something?""There was none."She looked up at him, not knowing if it was an illusion, but there was no anger in those dark eyes.Charlotte let out a slight sigh, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero."Leandro pulled aside a wheelchair, "Sit down."The commotion just now was quite significant. If it weren't for Leandro's quick actions, Charlotte would have fallen onto that food cart. That cart had hot soup on it. If Charlotte had fallen onto it, the consequences would have been unthinkable.Moreover, Charlotte's right calf was already in the recovery stage. If she had taken such a fall, there was no telling whether her calf bone might have fractured again. If it had fractured again, wh
Upon entering the elevator, Charlotte glanced at Leandro, only to find that he was also looking down at her.Her ears turned hot, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on the paper bag in her arms.The paper bag was fragile. She grabbed it forcefully, and the crisp sound was very noticeable.In the elevator, it was just her and Leandro. Charlotte, listening to that voice, felt not only her ears were hot, but her entire face was as well."What was given?""Huh?"Hearing the man's voice, she instinctively lifted her head, looking into his dark eyes. The clear contrast between the black and white in his eyes blinked gently, "...Let me see."Charlotte tore open the seal of the bag, pulled up the fold, propped open the mouth of the paper bag, and inside was a box.She took out the box and opened it, only to find a K-gold necklace inside. The design was simple, with a pendant of a mica cat's paw.It was quite cute.
Charlotte's hand was caught, slightly displeased, the drunkenness made her much bolder: "Mr. Romero, could you stop shaking?"She frowned, looking at Leandro who kept swaying in front of her, feeling as if her head was being made dizzy by him.Hearing her words, Leandro knew Charlotte was drunk.He loosened his grip, "Sit tight."Charlotte withdrew her hands, shifted her body slightly, and placed her hands on her knees, sitting up straight like a kindergartener. Then, with her bright, watery eyes fixed on him, she said, "I'm sitting properly now."Those bright, sparkling eyes were filled with one message: Praise me! Praise me!Leandro looked at the person, his Adam's apple bobbing once, restraint hidden in his deep eyes: "Hmm, very good."He reached out and touched Charlotte's head, his usually cold voice softened, becoming richer, revealing an unnoticeable gentleness.What a pity, Charlotte was a drunkard now.She could
In the narrow carriage, Charlotte's unguarded words were heard loud and clear by people in both the front and back seats.Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Larry, who was in the driver's seat, froze for a moment.What kind of harsh words are these, Mrs. Romero?He shouldn't have been here, should he?Shouldn't he have been under the car?Upon hearing Charlotte's words, even Leandro was taken aback for a moment.However, the person involved was completely unaware of the remarkable words she had said. She even began to condemn with righteous words, "This is too much! Under the broad daylight! How could they, how could they do..."At this point, Charlotte finally realized that something was amiss.The drunken Charlotte wasn't completely unconscious, she was just a bit slower than usual.Even if she was slow, she realized at that moment what she had just said.Car shaking?Did she talk about the car shaking in fr
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
