"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
Before Charlotte could react, she was already being led away by Leandro.The car was parked right behind the two of them. Upon seeing Leandro, Gabriella had already made up her mind.They did so much, all in an effort to secure more donations for the organization.Leandro had secured a steady stream of donation funds for their "Melodious Music" organization, it was a surefire win.Moreover, Charlotte's connections and influence were not to be underestimated. If Charlotte was really let go today, the news could be a big deal or a small one, depending on how Leandro presented it to the outside world.At that time, Leandro's attitude clearly indicated that he wanted to demand an explanation from Charlotte.Gabriella made a quick decision, immediately asking her assistant to find the person in charge of the dressing room. She also quickly stepped forward: "Mr. Romero, Ms. Bernard, could you give us another chance? I've already asked my assistant
"Mr. Romero!"Seeing Leandro's face visibly cool, Gabriella quickly spoke up, "Even if we were willing to replace someone, there's simply not enough time. Tiffany is the opening act. If we replace her now, we won't be able to find a replacement in time..."Before Gabriella could finish her words, her assistant hurriedly led the staff in charge of the makeup room over, and whispered in Gabriella's ear, "Ms. Harrington, Bianca Koch's agent just contacted us, asking if we are doing a charity performance today. Bianca happens to be in Aelmere..."Gabriella was such a smart person that she guessed who was behind this matter just by hearing the first half of the sentence from her assistant.For such a large performance, even if it was a charity show, replacing someone at the last minute was not a simple matter.Moreover, the most significant guests of today's performance were none other than Tiffany and Charlotte. Therefore, she let Tiffany open the show
Actually, it was not surprising why Gabriella initially wanted to downplay everything. The scale of today's charity performance was indeed very large, and the stage setting was comparable to the S-level competition stages that Charlotte had participated in.Suddenly changing from the finale to the opening act, Charlotte was quite nervous as she stood backstage preparing to go on.Charlotte performed a revised piano piece called "World of Us" today, accompanied by a dance troupe composed of deaf-mute people, interpreting the world of the deaf. With the touching piano sound, although not intense, it was very moving, absolutely a feast for the ears.After the curtain call, Charlotte subconsciously glanced down at the stage.When she just got on stage, she saw Leandro at first glance. The man was sitting in the middle of a row of seats, his outstanding features and unique temperament stood out like a crane among chickens, and she spotted him immediately.
"Was it necessary?"Was she really that unlucky?No sooner had Charlotte finished speaking than she saw Leandro lean over, startling her, "Mr. Romero, you--"Before the sentence was finished, the person was directly picked up by Leandro.She instinctively struggled, but the man didn't seem to mind. He held her firmly and walked out, saying as he went, "There are so many people here, if you make a bigger scene, we'll be the center of attention."This sentence seemed like a freezing spell, upon hearing it, Charlotte was completely petrified.In fact, Leandro had already attracted attention when he moved from the front row to the second just now. Now, as he left his seat holding Charlotte, it inevitably caused a bit of a stir.Charlotte, unable to bear the sound of the gossip, had no choice but to bury her head completely in Leandro's chest like an ostrich playing dead.By the time Caroline realized, Charlotte had already been car
When Leandro said this, he was standing sideways, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the heat of his breath hit Charlotte's face.In the dim light, Charlotte's face gradually turned red, and her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.She closed her eyes and silently recited two phrases in her mind: Hold on! Hold on!Charlotte pinched her own hand, waking herself up a bit: "Thank you."This was sincerely and genuinely said by Charlotte.She knew that Leandro's appearance here today was merely to support her. Their plastic marital relationship required Leandro to act like a loving husband to her because of today's events, so he could help her out.Charlotte was certainly grateful, but she was also very clear-headed, knowing that this was just Leandro wanting to help her.People just wanted to help her, but she couldn't lust after their bodies. Although this man's body was indeed quite attractive...Realizing what she was thinking,
