Charlotte: "..."
Elizabeth: "Outrageous!"
This plague cannot be avoided no matter how one tries to hide from it!
When Lauren saw Charlotte and Elizabeth, her face turned sour.
The Gallagher family was often criticized because of Charlotte.
A couple of months ago, Charlotte stayed indoors and didn't go out. Lauren was frustrated but couldn't express her anger. Today, they bumped into each other, and she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity: "What bad luck! Today was going well, and I run into you, the jinx!"
Charlotte rolled her eyes and since she had encountered it, she couldn't be bothered to avoid it.
She treated Lauren as if she were transparent, and both Elizabeth and she walked straight past Lauren.
Lauren was completely ignored and became so angry that she stomped her foot and said, "Stop! I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"
She stepped in front of Charlotte and Elizabeth, wearing high heels.
Charlotte de
"Did not...""Why are you so angry?"Charlotte calmed down completely, sighed, and said softly, "Actually, it was me who forced him to marry me back then!""!"Elizabeth was shocked: "You didn't say that at first, did you?"Back in the day, when Charlotte mentioned to her that they should get married and work together, Leandro agreed without hesitation.So she always knew that Charlotte's marriage to Leandro was not real, and occasionally she would make jokes, but she always knew where to draw the line.But now it seems that it was not quite the case...Charlotte was embarrassed and said, "Back then, I wasn't solely focused on getting away from the Gallagher family. I was afraid you would think poorly of me, so I told a little lie!""You've made progress, Lottie."Is this a little lie?Charlotte waved her hand and said, "Just average, third in the world."Elizabeth: "..."She realized that Cha
Charlotte had no idea that Leandro had already seen her "heroic act". She slept all the way in a daze. When the car arrived at the villa gate, the driver called her twice before she opened her eyes. She took out 10 dollars from her wallet and said, "No need to look for change, sir!"After paying the fare, Charlotte rubbed her eyes while searching for her keys inside her bag.She searched for a long time, almost emptying everything inside her bag, but still couldn't find it.Forget it.Joyce should have been cooking now.She raised her hand and pressed the doorbell, but to her surprise, the person who opened the door was not Joyce, but Leandro, who had just finished swimming and was wrapped in a towel.Charlotte was a little sleepy, but this suddenly woke her up completely!"Why were you at home?"Weren't you at the company?"Just came back.""Oh, oh, oh, just came back and went swimming."So disciplined!
Charlotte knew that Leandro had a good figure, but she didn't know it was this good!She watched as the man walked towards her step by step, and inexplicably swallowed.Realizing what she had done, Charlotte's ears turned red in an instant, and that redness quickly spread from her earlobes to her cheeks.Soon, Leandro approached her and Charlotte instinctively took a step back."Looking for me?"Leandro looked at her, his dark eyes slightly flickering.Charlotte looked at the close-up abs and suddenly felt thirsty again. She quickly brought the cup of water in her hand to her mouth and took a big sip before speaking, "I'll just go for a walk.""Oh."Leandro didn't say anything else and turned around, jumping into the pool.The splashing water splashed onto her skirt and some splashed onto the back of her feet.Cool and refreshing, completely different from the scorching heat above my head.Her gaze subconsc
Leandro's gaze paused on her face and then swam to the shore.He said he didn't look, and he really didn't look.After getting out of the water, the person went straight to the shower, leaving Charlotte alone in the pool.Without Leandro, Charlotte wasn't as awkward anymore. She quickly paddled and swam to the shore.The dress on the body got wet, and the whole dress became heavy and sticky.Charlotte stood by the pool, looking down at the water continuously flowing down her body. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should go into the villa or head to the shower room.However, soon Leandro came out with a towel.He wrapped a towel around her. "Go back quickly, don't catch a cold. I'll pick up the cup for you.""Not..."Forget it, no matter how much I explain, it can't hide her embarrassment.Charlotte glanced at him awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero."I don't know why, but every time somethin
Leandro didn't speak anymore, and Charlotte also got hungry, bowing her head and earnestly nibbling on the chicken wings.Charlotte liked to eat in small bites. She ate slowly, compared to men who ate quickly and politely. By the time the other person finished eating, she had only eaten half of her meal.It's not a big deal actually, everyone has their own eating speed.After Leandro finished eating, he did not leave the table and sat there watching her.Charlotte would never be so conceited as to think that Leandro was looking at her because she looked good. Perhaps Leandro didn't leave his seat out of courtesy and was waiting for her.In consideration of both parties, she instinctively hastened her eating speed.After finishing the last bite of food, Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Leandro across from her, saying, "I am full, Mr. Romero.""Um."Leandro nodded and raised his hand, placing the phone in
Forget it.Leandro probably doesn't remember what happened that night. Mr. Romero, being a busy person, considered that little incident of that evening as insignificant in his prosperous life.This photo was indeed beautiful, and it also matched Leandro's style quite well.If the protagonist in the photo was her, Charlotte thought it would be even better.Charlotte thought and thought, and decided not to break the ice, so as to avoid any awkwardness between them.In case she simply thought the photo looked nice and used it as a screensaver, her rush to claim it would seem too "calculating".Forget it.Charlotte realized that she had acted impulsively and quickly tried to make up for it, "Actually, if you look closely, this photo has a lot of artistic appeal. It would indeed make a great screensaver."She looked at herself in the photo, her face burning hot. In order to not give herself away, she had to pretend to be calm and sa
Last night, Charlotte ran away again.When Charlotte mentioned this to Elizabeth, she blushed uncontrollably again and said, "Liz, I feel like if things continue like this, I'll be doomed sooner or later!"Elizabeth: "Don't be a coward, Lottie! You two are legally married now, just go for it boldly!"Charlotte touched her flushed cheek and said, "No, we had a contract!"Elizabeth: "Tsk tsk tsk, when it comes to relationships, even contracts can be nullified! As long as you truly like him, just go for it! What's there to be afraid of! At worst, you can still enjoy a few freebies, right? A man like Leandro, you won't lose out, right?"Charlotte: "..."She knew it!Elizabeth's mind was filled with nothing but yellow waste!Elizabeth sent many more messages afterwards, but all of them were similar.Charlotte felt too embarrassed to reply. Was that something a single woman could say?It's outrageous!She took he
"Are you threatening me?"Marco had lived for most of his life, and it was the first time he had encountered someone daring enough to threaten him!Charlotte felt innocent. "How did I threaten you? Isn't trust the most important thing between spouses? Leandro will definitely know about you coming to see me today.""He would definitely ask me what you said today if he found out, so of course I would tell him the truth, right?"Charlotte paused for a moment and said, "Or should I say, do you always speak in a secretive manner with your wife?"This almost made Marco furious, even his assistant Rene Snyder on the side wanted to speak up and reprimand Charlotte.At this moment, however, there came a noise from the entrance hall.Several people in the living room instinctively looked towards the entrance, where Leandro, dressed in a black suit, appeared with a serious expression on his face.Upon seeing Leandro, Charlotte instinctive
Charlotte felt that there was something missing from the tie in her hand. She put it back and picked another one, then walked back to the suit and compared it again.However, doing it this way, the effect was slightly worse. She simply put on the tie and took two steps back, intending to see the result.I took a step back unwillingly, only to collide with the man's solid chest.Charlotte was startled for a moment and instinctively turned around, "Mr. Romero, I'm sorry!"She lowered her head and looked at her foot that she had accidentally stepped on, "I didn't notice you."She lifted her head again and looked at Leandro's face, cautiously asking, "Did I not step on you?""No."His black eyes glanced at her, and Leandro withdrew his hand that was resting on her shoulder, "Choosing a tie?"Charlotte frowned and said, "My taste in aesthetics might not be very good.""Who said that?"She didn't react immediately, "Huh
Upon hearing this, Joyce hastened her movements. "Almost done, ma'am. Just wait for another five minutes!""It's okay, I was just asking."Poor Joyce, she really couldn't find any other excuses to run away.After clarifying her thoughts, Charlotte began to make an effort to restrain her feelings for Leandro.At least, at least don't always stare at others infatuatedly!It's just liking someone, it's hard to control.Charlotte tried hard for several days, but the results were very poor.Especially after realizing that she had developed feelings for Leandro, she no longer felt as comfortable around him as she used to.Several times, she couldn't bear it anymore and just made excuses to run away.Just when Charlotte was suffering in this "sweet infatuation," finally came some good news: "Mr. Romero was going on a business trip!"I have been on a business trip for quite a while, seven days to be exact!Finally,
Elizabeth's suggestion can't be said to be completely absurd, but it can't be said to be reasonable either.Charlotte understood her friend's good intentions, but she personally wanted more.Although it is said that women pursue men through a veil, it is also possible that there is a mountain between them.Moreover, she had initially used a car accident to threaten Leandro into marrying her, forcing him to get involved. Now, although they have a cooperative relationship, she has other intentions.If Leandro knew that she was interested, would he think she was despicable?She... didn't want to be seen that way in his eyes!Even if you want to pursue, at least wait until the contract ends, right?Charlotte made a decision and kept all her thoughts to herself.Joyce came up and called her to have lunch. Charlotte was embarrassed, she didn't expect that she had been tangled up all morning, for over three hours, and hadn't done anyt
"Is that so?"Leandro took out a wet tissue and carefully wiped his hands.Charlotte heard these words, and her hands trembled beneath her. "Yes, yes."She said and chuckled, "Mr. Romero, you go to work, I occasionally have a poor appetite."Leandro looked at her for a moment and said, "Hmm."He did not ask any further and got up from the table.He took two steps and then stopped, turning around to look at Charlotte, who was relieved. "Yesterday afternoon, thank you," he said."No, no need to thank."She was the one who caused more trouble compared to him.Leandro averted his gaze, turned around, and went upstairs.Soon, Charlotte saw him coming down from upstairs, having tied his tie."Safe travels, Mr. Romero."Charlotte raised her hand and waved, Leandro glanced at her and responded faintly with a "Hmm" before leaving.Soon, Charlotte heard the sound of a car engine outside.She purs
How should this question be answered?How could she not be moved?But what was their relationship?They were a fake couple!Charlotte glanced at Leandro and quickly said, "You go eat, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep, goodnight!"After saying that, she turned around and ran away!In just five or six seconds, a "bang" of the closing door was heard.The man looked at the closed door of the guest room and curved his thin lips, a smile appearing in his dark eyes. "Did your heart skip a beat?"Hmm, that's great.Lying in bed, Charlotte listened to the sound of her rapidly beating heart, grateful that she had run fast, otherwise she would have been done for!Liz said it well, a man like Leandro, no woman could resist being attracted to him.Charlotte couldn't help but sigh, regretting her unwarranted thoughts.Be more dedicated, Charlotte!You are currently cooperating with each other and benefiti
Charlotte sat on the ground for a while, thinking that it had been quite some time since the two of them went down. If they didn't go back up soon, Joyce would probably call the police.It was just the drunk Leandro...Charlotte stood up, leaning on the wine cabinet behind her. She looked down at the man still sitting there and said, "Mr. Romero, shall we go upstairs?"Upon hearing her words, the man lifted his head and looked at her for a moment with his dark eyes, asking, "What are you going up for?"Listen!Is this the kind of question that Leandro would normally ask?"I went upstairs to have a meal."She said, reaching out her hand, and pulled him up.He got up with her help and said, "I had no appetite."Drunk, of course, the appetite was not good!"Did you go up to rest?"He furrowed his brows, pondering her proposal earnestly.After about five seconds, he nodded.Charlotte worried that
Just as she was at a loss, Charlotte suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I've got it!""Is that so?"I don't know why, but Charlotte felt that every time Leandro said "Is that so?", he didn't believe her.As soon as she heard this sentence, she felt a bit embarrassed and guilty reflexively, "Really, really!""Oh."He responded with a sound, released the hand that had fallen on her back, but the left hand on her back remained unretracted.Charlotte could feel him gently touching her cervical vertebrae, each touch was light, as if he had touched her, yet as if he hadn't."You got drunk twice before, and both times you really enjoyed it when I touched you.""I, I don't remember.""Shall I help you remember?"Charlotte was dumbfounded when she heard what he said.She had no idea how to respond to this statement!How else can this be taken?"Just kidding."Just as she was at a loss, the ma
The sudden eye contact caught Charlotte off guard, leaving her completely bewildered.No, didn't you fall asleep?How can these eyes open as soon as they open?Her mind went blank for a moment, and her ears and face reacted quickly, already turning completely red.Charlotte felt her face burning hot. She looked at Leandro for a while before stammering, "You, you were asleep, weren't you?""No."Couldn't sleep?Didn't Leandro know what she had just done?This realization made Charlotte want to escape, but she couldn't escape!The man's hand was still gripping her wrist, and she tried to struggle, but he held on even tighter.The next second, Charlotte heard the other person ask in a deep voice, "What were you doing just now, Ms. Bernard?"Faced with the questioning of the parties involved, Charlotte's mind went blank. She looked at him in extreme embarrassment and said, "I, I think I was drunk, Mr. Romero."
The wine was not tasty, and the sugar was sweet.Leandro lowered his eyelids, not knowing what he was thinking. Then, he directed his hand towards the bottle opener in his hand and put the unopened bottle of wine back.Last night, he walked back to his previous position, sat down again, and reached out to take a candy from her palm.He unwrapped the candy and raised his hand to throw it into his mouth.The moment the soft candy was touched, a slight sour taste instantly spread on the taste buds, followed by a mouthful of mango flavor.He bit open the soft candy, and the sweetness immediately covered the sour taste from earlier.It was sweet.She was right.However, he was a bit greedy for more.Leandro turned his head and looked at Charlotte, who had been looking at him all along, and said, "Not sweet enough, a little sour.""Ah?"Charlotte was immediately embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the mango candy is a bit s
