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.
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,
"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
After washing her face, she also calmed down. After calming down, she was still quite scared.Will she be fired from the company that her left foot entered first tomorrow?Upon further consideration, if she was fired, then she was fired. She is not just a decorative vase without any abilities. She would still thrive if she switched companies.But the company had good benefits, the colleagues were nice, and the department head was just a bit nagging, but had a good heart...She had a complex mood, feeling a little excited and a little scared.After venting, Elizabeth felt too embarrassed to go back. She glanced at her colleague and said, "I'm going home, please let the minister know for me."This thing was quite messed up tonight. Elizabeth's colleague didn't know what to say: "Alright, just let me know when you get home."Elizabeth nodded her head absentmindedly and left the bathroom in a daze.She didn't notice someone in fron
Charlotte realized about Marco's birthday only after she had taken a shower. Compared to the return of her uncle and aunt, Leandro's father's birthday was more imminent.More than three months had passed, and she recalled the last time she met Marco. Until now, Charlotte still felt embarrassed.She used to be a true warrior, whatever Marco said, she would confront it.However, she had never thought about getting involved with Leandro for real at that time, so she naturally wouldn't prefer to be wronged and still put on a good face for his father and stepmother.Now, she is fine. She went from being Mrs. Romero in the contract to being the real Mrs. Romero.Charlotte glanced towards the bathroom and instinctively grabbed her phone to find Elizabeth: "Liz, Liz! Leandro's father's birthday is next week, what should I do? I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent!"Elizabeth also didn't know where she went, and rarely did not reply to her messages i
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, and if Greyson hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about Marcus.When the news of Marcus eloping broke out, her uncle and aunt were furious and said they would bring back her eldest cousin to help her deal with the situation.Charlotte didn't want her two cousins to get involved in all this mess, and she almost tried everything to convince her aunt and uncle to let her handle it herself.Back then, they were in Havigsaq, out of reach. She playfully and cutely assured that she could handle it, and they had no choice but to nod and agree.Now that they are coming back, they naturally want to hold the Gallagher family accountable.Just this bad debt, it wasn't so easy to calculate.Charlotte was puzzled: "It shouldn't, right?"Greyson looked at her and said, "Your uncle and aunt doted on you a lot, and you know it."Charlotte thought about her aunt's personality and also kne
Charlotte drove to the hospital after she finished breakfast.The hospital was crowded during the day, and she had a hard time finding a parking space for her car.The ward that Greyson moved into yesterday was still empty, with only him inside.When Charlotte entered, Jaylen brought soup over and upon seeing her, said, "Ms. Bernard."Jaylen hadn't seen Charlotte for a while, and couldn't help but look at her. He saw that she looked good and hadn't lost weight, so he asked her with relief if she wanted to have some soup.Charlotte had just finished breakfast and couldn't drink the soup at that time. "No need, Jaylen."Seeing her coming, both Jaylen and Orion tactfully found excuses to leave the ward, leaving the space for the father and daughter.Charlotte looked at Greyson on the sickbed and thought about her dream from last night, and her chest started to feel tight again.She walked over to the chair next to the hospital bed
Leandro held her with one hand and looked down at her, asking, "Are you tired?"She was almost always standing in the hospital.Charlotte shook her head, "Not tired."Saying that, he yawned.She was a little embarrassed and said, "I was just a little tired."I was indeed tired.Charlotte used to go to bed around 10 o'clock at night, playing on her phone for a while. She would usually fall asleep before 10:30.At this time, it was already one thirty in the morning.Leandro put the car keys into his pocket and then bent down to pick her up.Charlotte was startled for a moment, then quickly hooked her arm around his neck.Leandro held her and quickly went upstairs to the master bedroom.The bedsheet on the bed was messy, revealing the battle before the two people left.Charlotte was put on the bed, her face was a little hot.Leandro took off his watch, lowered his head and kissed her: "Change int
Charlotte just cried, her tears dried up, feeling a bit uncomfortable on her face.Now Greyson woke up and lay on the hospital bed, staring at her.She didn't think she looked good, so she found an excuse to say she needed to go to the bathroom, and then went into the bathroom to wash her face.Cold water splashed onto her face, and this time, she was incredibly grateful.Looking at herself in the mirror, Charlotte closed her eyes and calmed down. She then opened her eyes again, and the redness in her eyes had already faded a lot.She smiled at herself in the mirror and then walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte walked out of the bathroom and saw Leandro, who had come back with oatmeal. He was chatting with Greyson, and she walked over to Leandro's side.Greyson was not feeling well and would wake up for half an hour before falling asleep again.Orion had to stay overnight and was unwilling to go back to the Bernard's villa.
Leandro said and then turned around and left the ward. Inside the ward, there were Orion and Charlotte, along with Greyson who was still unconscious lying on the bed.Charlotte looked at Greyson lying on the hospital bed, and she couldn't imagine what would have happened if, after the doors of the emergency room opened, the doctor had told her that he hadn't been saved. She would have been devastated.Her mother passed away when she was too young to remember, and Greyson raised her single-handedly.When she was very young, she had asked Greyson countless times why other children had mothers, but she didn't.Greyson would always tell her that because her mother had gone to heaven early, she would help buy her favorite toys and when she goes there in the future, she can have a house full of beloved toys.She later grew up a bit and then she found out that her mother was no longer in this world.She gradually stopped asking about her mother, bu
Charlotte had actually calmed down a lot, it was just because of fear that her fingers became cold.Leandro's warm palm conveyed strength, making her less overwhelmed.The hospital at night is much quieter than during the day, except for the emergency department, all other departments have already closed.Greyson was taken to the hospital by an ambulance, and Leandro immediately knew that he was being treated in the emergency room.He led Charlotte towards the emergency room, following the nurse's instructions just now.The two of them had not reached the entrance of the emergency room when Charlotte saw the butler Orion.Greyson suddenly fainted, and it was Jaylen at home who first noticed.Fortunately, Orion reacted quickly and immediately called an ambulance. Greyson was quickly taken to Cliff Hospital for treatment."Orion.""Ms. Bernard, Mr. Romero."Orion saw Charlotte, which could be considered finding the
The man's kiss initially only stayed on her lips, but slowly he became unsatisfied with just the lips.Charlotte felt hot all over her body, and the itchiness spread from her lips down her neck, finally invading her chest.In the room, almost all there was the sound of her and Leandro's breathing.Leandro kissed her and asked in a low, husky voice, "Mrs. Romero, would you like to do something you love?"The voice was deep and sexy, like a grain of sand falling into her heart, grinding her to the point of unbearable.She was like a fish pulled ashore, lacking water and oxygen. The instinct to survive made her open her mouth to breathe, and her mind was all jumbled up, unable to think at all.The unbearable pain in her body made her unable to help but hum, and this sound directly broke Leandro's last sanity.He had been enduring since the afternoon, and couldn't bear it any longer.The air conditioning in the room was turned up h
