Leandro's sudden appearance clearly shattered Marcus's "illusion".
Of course, he also slapped Tiana and Daisy hard.
Daisy had been dissatisfied with Marcus's insistence on staying, but thinking that Charlotte was just showing off, she thought it might not be a bad idea to stay and watch the spectacle.
Just a few minutes had passed, and Leandro appeared!
The three of them had different thoughts, but Elizabeth was very pleased.
She was about to make a sarcastic remark, when a young man in a suit, holding an umbrella, glanced her way, "Hello, are you Miss Elizabeth, a friend of Mrs. Romero?"
Elizabeth was somewhat taken aback, staring at the man in front of her. It took her a couple of seconds to nod and say, "Yes, it's me. What's up?"
"I was Mr. Romero's secretary, Melvin. Mr. Romero sent me to take you home, Ms. Farrell. With such heavy rain, it's hard to get a cab."
The man's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough f
Meanwhile.Sitting in the car, Charlotte was reflecting on everything that had just happened, wondering if she had been kicked in the head by a donkey.How did she just - just run straight into Leandro's arms?Thinking back to the moment when she had bumped into Leandro, her heart would still involuntarily quicken at the memory.You were so pathetic, Charlotte!It was just a play, why are you still here blushing like a primary school kid who has never been in love?But he was Leandro, yeah!Right, he was Leandro!The cream of the crop among men!"What were you thinking about?"In the quiet carriage, a male voice suddenly sounded.Charlotte paused for a moment, looked up at the man beside her, and blurted out as usual, "Thinking about the best among men."No sooner had her words fallen than she distinctly saw a strange change in Leandro's facial expression.His dark eyes were fixed on her, and
Charlotte's breath hitched, she stared at Leandro, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry..."She said, reaching out to take the phone.Leandro didn't give her a hard time, he simply let go and placed the phone directly in her hand.Charlotte took the phone, her ear burning, and guiltily glanced at Leandro.You didn't see it, did you?The driver ahead was apologizing, saying that a delivery vehicle suddenly rushed out.Leandro didn't say much, "Drive."Larry secretly wiped off his sweat, driving even more cautiously.The carriage fell silent again, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.Leandro didn't react, which meant he didn't see it.Actually, it wasn't a big deal even when she saw it, she didn't say much to Elizabeth, it was all words of praise for him!Ten minutes later, the car drove into the villa.Charlotte and Leandro got out of the car, and the two of them walked side by side from the garage to the livi
Charlotte didn't know if Leandro had insomnia, but she herself didn't sleep well the whole night.The cell phone alarm rang, Charlotte struggled for a while but resignedly answered the call."Just woke up?"A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. Charlotte listened, finding it somewhat familiar, but for the moment, she couldn't remember who it was."Who were you?""It seems Ms. Bernard really is a busy person. Last time, you mentioned that there might be a part-time job and we could contact you again."Charlotte had just woken up a moment ago, feeling a bit dazed and her mind was somewhat sluggish.But by then, she had already remembered who the person was: "Dangelo?!""Congratulations, Ms. Bernard, you guessed correctly."Charlotte was taken aback, the last bit of sleepiness completely gone, "Is there something you need?""Of course, I was going on tour next month, and the first stop was Aelmere. Ther
Leandro had just come in from swimming, his hair still dripping with water. The droplets at the ends of his hair slid down the man's chiseled cheeks and finally dropped to the ground.He was wearing a bathrobe, but it was draped casually, with the neckline almost open, revealing most of his clearly defined muscles to Charlotte."Have you finished your breakfast?"Charlotte quickly averted her gaze, "Just finished eating."Damn!No comparison, no harm!Lived under the same roof!She didn't finish her breakfast until nine o'clock, by which time Leandro had already gone for a round of exercise and come back!No wonder he had such a good figure, while she couldn't even get a vest line!She was such a noob!Leandro nodded, picking up the bathrobe to wipe his hair.Due to his movement, the bathrobe was lifted, almost exposing his upper body.Charlotte once again clearly saw those eight-pack abs, and all th
Charlotte buried her head, "Could you please leave first, Mr. Romero?"She was clearly a clever person, so why did she act like a dumb penguin whenever she was around Leandro?"If you keep squatting like this, your blood circulation will be affected when you stand up later, and you will feel dizzy."Leandro spoke, pausing for a moment, "And now you're on the stairs, can you guarantee that you won't get dizzy and fall when you get up later? Is face more important or is life more important?""..."Alright, life matters.Charlotte bit her lip, decided to let go completely, released her own hands, looked up at Leandro, and said, "Mr. Romero, don't you think I'm like a stupid penguin?""Not like that."Charlotte secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but this relief didn't last for two seconds before she heard the other person speak again: "Like a stupid rabbit.""..."Alright, she knew it, the "stupid image" she had in f
Just when Charlotte thought Leandro was about to kiss her, the warm breath suddenly disappeared.Charlotte subconsciously opened her eyes, her gaze directly colliding with those dark pupils.Leandro had already reined in his energy, looking at her with a smile, "You're right, it's indeed a bit not so good."Charlotte looked at those thin lips, not knowing why, upon hearing his words, she surprisingly felt a bit of regret.The expression on her face was just too obvious. Leandro looked at her, "You seem to regret it?"Charlotte was startled and quickly denied in a series, "I'm not, I didn't, I can't!"The man hooked up his thin lips, his eyes full of deep meaning: "Hmm."Charlotte was really feeling guilty, "I'm going to practice the piano!"Without waiting for a response, she immediately ran upstairs and entered the piano room.Her heart was pounding so fast as if it was about to burst out of her chest at any moment.
Leandro placed the picked-out fish meat onto her dish: "Indeed, it's not very high.""...Thank you."The concept of money for the rich was indeed different from hers!"Did you lack money?""No, it wasn't.""Mm-hmm."Leandro glanced at her, "If you're short of money, let me know, I can--lend it to you!""Thank you."There was absolutely no need!The matter had already been reported, next was to sign a contract with Dangelo.Dangelo's agent had already spoken with Caroline. After Charlotte finished lunch, she received a call from Caroline asking her to go out and sign a contract.Charlotte was somewhat surprised, "That fast?""Dangelo said over there that their company was pushing hard."Charlotte didn't think much either, "Oh, oh, oh, okay!"She had originally planned to take a nap, but now she could only change her clothes and go out to sign the contract.With the temperature out
The elevator doors had just opened when Charlotte couldn't get out, colliding with Caroline who had just come out of the adjacent elevator.She didn't notice, said sorry, and then walked away."Lottie?"Caroline shouted, but found that Charlotte hadn't stopped at all!She had no choice but to jog after her, and after much difficulty, she finally caught up with Charlotte. Caroline quickly reached out and tugged at her, "Why are you walking so fast? Is there a wolf chasing you?"There wasn't a wolf, but Leandro had one!"No, I was afraid of being late."Caroline glanced at the time, "We still have ten minutes, what's the rush?"Charlotte looked embarrassed, "Really? I got the time wrong!"Caroline didn't think much about it, "Why did you suddenly take on this job?""Plenty of money, less work, and close to home!"Caroline paused for a moment, thought about it, and realized that Charlotte made a lot of sense!
Dangelo watched the two people holding hands and gradually walking away, the color of his eyes under the sunglasses slowly sinking.This Leandro!Jayden, seeing him motionless, felt his heart leap into his throat, "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"Dangelo finally averted his gaze, lifted his leg, and left the coffee shop.He didn't say a word, clearly, he was angry.Jayden frowned, finding it strange.Who on earth provoked this young master?Charlotte was so engrossed in acting that it wasn't until they got into the elevator that she realized she was holding hands with Leandro!They held hands tightly!Realizing this, her face suddenly heated up, "Mr. Romero, your acquaintance, he didn't get on the elevator, did he?"Leandro glanced at her and responded indifferently, "None left."Saying so, he had already voluntarily let go of his hand.The tightly held large hand let go.
Charlotte knew that Leandro must have been waiting for her in the parking lot. As a person like Leandro, who made money by the tens of thousands per second, how dare she let him wait so long!So, after the contract was signed, she hurried to the parking lot as quickly as possible.She walked briskly, intent on getting back as soon as possible, not wanting to waste Leandro's time.Leandro had already come up, unbeknownst to her. It wasn't until someone reached out to grab her that Charlotte smelled the familiar scent of wood. She stopped, surprised, looking at Leandro who had come up at some point: "How are you here?"This question was asked in a strange way as if Leandro couldn't appear here!Charlotte quickly corrected herself, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, how did you get up here?"Leandro, tall with long legs, wore a black casual outfit that exuded a carefree and unruly vibe. He had already attracted quite a few glances on h
