Melvin followed closely behind Leandro, not daring to make a sound, afraid of being affected.
Leandro suddenly stopped and called out Melvin's name.
Melvin was stunned, holding the documents and approaching, "Mr. Romero?"
"Daisy, it's your birthday tonight. Prepare a gift and place it on my desk two hours later."
Melvin was prepared to be scolded, but he was surprised when Leandro spoke and asked him to prepare Daisy's birthday gift.
For a moment, he was a bit slow to react and asked a foolish question, "Mr. Romero, should we let the lady know about this matter?"
I regretted asking Melvin.
Don't even mention that Leandro would never do such morally corrupt things. Even if Leandro really did it, as his secretary, I should turn a blind eye to it!
Leandro heard his words and stared straight at him with his dark eyes, saying, "What do you think, Melvin?"
Melvin was completely dumbfounded. How was he supposed to answer such a
Leandro seemed to realize that he had done something wrong. "This is... fake eyelashes?"He furrowed his brow, as if his cognition had been shaken.Charlotte awkwardly pinched off the fake eyelashes and said, "No, it's dirty stuff! Mr. Romero, I'm going in to change clothes! Wait for me for five minutes, oh no, ten minutes!"Charlotte finished speaking in one breath and then turned around to close the door.She lowered her head and looked at the false eyelashes pinched between her fingertips, her face becoming even redder.She didn't want to wear false eyelashes anymore in the future!After such an embarrassing incident, Charlotte didn't have the mood to bother herself anymore.Anyway, it wasn't a big party, so she just needed to put on some makeup.After finishing her makeup, she changed into the small dress she had already picked out, and then chose a pair of pearl earrings to wear. Finally, she checked her appearance one mor
Leandro pulled Charlotte closer to him, avoiding Daisy's embrace.Charlotte didn't expect Daisy to be so enthusiastic. She wanted to hug people as soon as they met.Are the daughters of wealthy families so enthusiastic now?Obviously, it was not.Well, Ms. Clements was quite disgusted with Leandro next to her.Charlotte, however, was not very happy. She had previously mentioned that something was not right with Daisy, but it was just talk. Now, she actually had some doubts about whether Daisy had ulterior motives towards her.Leandro had a cold face and said, "I came with my wife."Charlotte heard what he said and quickly handed over the gift in her hand, easing the slightly awkward atmosphere at the moment. "Ms. Clements, happy birthday. I don't know what you like, so this is just a random gift I prepared."You see, I was so casual, so you can be a little casual too, Ms. Clements.However, things didn't go as planned. W
Leandro's dark eyes sank for a moment when he heard "Lottie". "Are you saying that even if she really liked you, you wouldn't mind?""Respect others' sexual orientations."Anyway, she didn't engage in same-sex relationships."What about me?"Leandro burst into laughter, looking at the woman in front of him who had just contradicted herself, and said, "What am I?"Charlotte blinked her eyes and instinctively replied, "my honey!"Wasn't this thing well-known?"Oh, so Ms. Bernard also knew that I was your honey.""?"Was it her illusion?Why did she feel that Leandro's words had a slightly resentful tone?Charlotte thought about how she had walked in just now, seemingly only focused on chatting with Daisy, and not paying much attention to Leandro beside her.Thinking of this, she suddenly felt guilty and quickly moved to Leandro's side, tiptoeing slightly and whispered in his ear with a voice that only
Charlotte was led by Leandro to the dining area, receiving many glances along the way.There were those who were envious, those who were amazed, those who were puzzled, those who were jealous, and those who were disdainful.Charlotte straightened her back, tightly grasped the man's hand, and passed by them without looking away.Even if it was fake, Mrs. Romero, anyway, no one would know!Leandro noticed her subtle movements, his thin lips slightly curved, holding onto her even tighter.Silly rabbit.The buffet at Daisy's birthday party was quite abundant. There were both traditional and foreign cuisines. Charlotte was initially worried about going home hungry, but she didn't expect to be repeatedly fed by Leandro. She was starting to worry if her stomach would be suspected by others."Are you full?"The man didn't know where to find the food, but it looked delicious.But I couldn't eat anymore, Charlotte forced herself t
Charlotte was really starting to panic this time. "Ms. Clements, I suddenly need to use the restroom..."She spoke while quickly stepping out of the room.Daisy was confused. "Lottie! The bathroom is not over there!"However, as soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte had already run downstairs.Daisy stood there, feeling a bit confused.She was just fine a moment ago, but why did she say something and then run away?Does Charlotte hate her?Thinking of this, Daisy's mood immediately turned sour.Daisy's "yes" immediately pulled Charlotte out of the sugar-coated bullet.She has grown up like this, and actually has been confessed to by many people, but being confessed to by a girl, this is the first time she has encountered it!She had no objections to Daisy's sexual orientation, but as the person being liked, she felt a bit unsure.Charlotte ran while looking for Leandro, and now she deeply regretted leavi
Charlotte handed the phone back to the beautiful young lady, her face still flushed. "Thank you, beautiful sister.""My name was Carlee Hooper.""Okay, beautiful Carlee."Carlee looked at Charlotte and suddenly smiled, "Ms. Bernard is really adorable."Charlotte was taken aback. She was about to speak when Carlee was called away by a friend."Excuse me, Ms. Bernard, we'll talk next time.""It's okay, we'll talk next time."After Carlee left, Charlotte stood alone, feeling a bit bored, but Leandro told her to stay in place and not move.She also didn't dare to move, what if they went to different places and happened to miss each other? Wouldn't that be very awkward?Just then, a waiter came over with a tray of colorful drinks. She casually took a cup and took a sip.It was sour and sweet, quite tasty, with a hint of lemon and a hint of fruit fragrance.Charlotte took another sip, feeling a bit tipsy, and cou
A sudden "honey" caught the attention of most of the people at the party.Charlotte regretted as soon as she shouted, watching Leandro walking step by step from the crowd, she wished she could disappear!Leandro walked directly up to Charlotte and took her hand, asking, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"Her gaze fell on the cup she was holding in her other hand. "Drinking?"Charlotte, who was embarrassed to the point of wanting to hide, heard this and quietly defended herself, "It wasn't alcohol, it was juice."Delicious juice.His black eyes flickered slightly, and Leandro didn't tell her the truth. "Hmm.""Did you go back?""Uh-huh."I returned.If she didn't leave soon, she would become a gorilla in the zoo.And those two women who appeared out of nowhere to humiliate her had already sneaked away before Leandro came.Charlotte was also too lazy to care, and she still couldn't
Meanwhile, Daisy, who was just about to go and find Charlotte, learned from her friend that Charlotte and Leandro had left ten minutes ago.Did you leave?Did you leave so quickly?Daisy's mood visibly dropped, and her friend next to her quickly asked, "Daisy, what's wrong? Why do you seem not very happy?"Daisy glanced at her friend and said, "She seems a bit upset. How did Charlotte leave so quickly?"Daisy's friend: "?"Did you treat Charlotte a little too well?A good friend couldn't help but remind her, "Um, Daisy, it seems like you and Charlotte were rivals!""What love rival relationship? My family has already severed ties with the Romero family!"Daisy's friend: "...because of Charlotte?""It was and it wasn't."Daisy waved her hand; her friend was very puzzled. "Daisy, why are you so good to Charlotte?""She saved me!""But you had already thanked..."The Daisy she knew didn't
Charlotte couldn't contain the curve of her lips on her way back, as she had just obtained a necklace worth over three million.On the way home, she was constantly immersed in the joy of Leandro not giving Hanna face, and she forgot that she had blushed before leaving because of the question of "whether to go out or not."When Charlotte returned to the villa and was taking off her earrings, she suddenly remembered this question.My heart started beating faster inexplicably.Charlotte put away the removed earring and glanced at her own cheek in the mirror.Blushed.Ah, Charlotte, you became bad!What are you thinking about all day long now?She raised her hand and patted her own face. Just as she turned around, she saw Leandro coming in.Charlotte felt very guilty, watching him approach with water in his hands, her heart beating faster and faster with each passing moment.Seeing him hand over the water cup, she reached out and took it, lowering her head to drink the water, while shifti
"It's not necessary to work so hard. If Mrs. Romero is willing to use my supplementary card, I think I would be very happy."Charlotte also remembered the card he gave her and felt a bit embarrassed, "It's different."What's different is that we were a legally married couple, and half of the money I earned belonged to you.Charlotte couldn't dare to imagine that half of his money belonged to her, Leandro's wealth, which she could never achieve in her entire life of struggle.Of course, she wouldn't say this in front of him.After all, she wanted to maintain her pride and couldn't ignore Leandro's feelings.Charlotte glanced at him and said, "The money to buy you a gift should at least be earned by me, right?"Upon hearing her words, Leandro felt as if his heart was enveloped in warm water.Soft and swollen.Hmm, Mrs. Romero is quite good at coaxing people.The two of them walked to the car. Leandro opened the passenger door and held his hand on the roof to protect it. After Charlotte
Charlotte pursed her lips and looked hesitant, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Norton, but this is the first gift Leandro ever brought me to the auction house. It holds a special meaning for me, so I can't let it go.""Moreover, this necklace was not the best, and I believe Mrs. Norton deserves something better. Ms. Norton, you might consider communicating with the auctioneer of 'the Bridge of Love,' I believe that necklace would be more to your mother's liking."Charlotte immediately handed back the words she had just said to Hanna. Unable to refute, Hanna's face turned slightly sour and she said, "I was being unreasonable."Leandro replied in a low voice, "Since you knew it would be difficult for a strong person, you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place."This statement directly pierced Hanna's heart, causing her already unattractive face to turn pale.Hanna bit her teeth, glanced at Leandro, and then looked at Charlotte. "I'm sorry, I did indeed overstep."She said it and turned
Leandro had just swiped his card when Charlotte immediately grabbed his arm.A soft and gentle female voice sounded in his ears, and her breath blew straight onto his face, causing a tingling sensation and making his chest slightly itchy.His black eyes darkened slightly as he lowered his head and looked at Charlotte in front of him. He raised his hand and wrapped it around her waist.Hanna walked up to the two of them, her gaze falling on Leandro's hand, but quickly withdrew it: "Mrs. Romero, Mr. Romero."After Elizabeth exposed her use of the names "Ms. Bernard" and Lance for Leandro and Charlotte last time, this time, Hanna didn't dare to call them "Ms. Bernard" and Lance anymore."Ms. Norton."Charlotte politely responded.Leandro glanced at Hanna lightly and asked, "What's up?"Hanna, this person, used to come over for no reason.Leandro's patience had long run out when she was talking nonsense to Charlotte back then.Hanna was still being treated by Leandro in this way for the f
It is impossible for a woman to not be interested in jewelry, and Charlotte also knows that diamonds are products that merchants boast about and harvest.It was really hard not to like the sparkling diamond.But she liked what she liked, not everything she liked had to be obtained.Charlotte thought that the diamond necklace being auctioned now was very beautiful, with a gentle and girly design.But the price of this necklace is not at all girly, at least not something that a mature young woman like her can afford.The starting price was one million five hundred thousand. Charlotte watched as the bidding signs popped up like mushrooms after the rain, and she instinctively tightened her grip on her own sign, afraid of impulsive spending.Leandro, who was standing beside her, noticed her small gesture. His gaze swept over her index finger as she picked at the bidding card, and his eyebrows raised as he asked, "Is this necklace beautiful?"Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "It looked p
Charlotte was particularly curious about where Leandro would take her. This was the first time Leandro had told her that he would take her out to play.Before she left, she asked Leandro once, and he only said he would know later.She also didn't want to ask again, and she was very excited along the way.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped.Charlotte unbuckled her seatbelt and, upon seeing Leandro get out of the car, she pushed the door open and followed him out of the car.At that moment, Charlotte realized that Leandro had brought her to an auction house.She was a little surprised, "Why did you suddenly come here?"Leandro led her inside while explaining in a low voice, "There was a jewelry auction today."Charlotte still didn't quite understand his meaning, so she could only nod her head and say, "Oh, oh, oh."It was not until she took her seat that she understood the meaning of Leandro bringing her here tonight.
I swam in the pool for nearly an hour in the afternoon, and then I splashed around with Leandro in it for a while. It was quite exhausting.Charlotte's appetite was much better than usual, she didn't gobble down her food, but she chewed slowly without stopping for a single bite.Leandro had finished eating, leisurely wiping the corners of his mouth, his gaze drifting towards Charlotte, who looked like a squirrel hoarding food across from him. His thin lips slowly curved into a smile.He saw her stop and handed her a cup filled with water.Charlotte was choking a bit and was looking for water. When she saw Leandro handing her water, she quickly took it and drank a big gulp, swallowing the food stuck in her throat. Then she looked at him and said, "I'm done eating."She patted her chest and felt much more comfortable after she had swallowed the food."Choked?"Charlotte was a bit embarrassed, she had eaten too quickly just now and said,
As Leandro opened the door, he saw Charlotte squatting on the ground wearing a bathrobe. He thought she had fallen and quickly walked up to her, asking, "Where did you fall?"Charlotte had just crouched down, and her whole body froze.Realizing it, she quickly reached out and picked up her skirt and panties, stuffing them into her arms.She had just picked up the underwear when Leandro came over and asked her where she had fallen.Charlotte's hand trembled as she stuffed the underwear into her skirt. Her face turned as red as a boiled shrimp and she said, "I didn't fall, I'm going to the bathroom to change my clothes."She said it and instinctively stood up.Leandro reached out and protected, "Don't run, you will fall."After he finished speaking, the dark eyes immediately sank.Just now, Charlotte was squatting on the ground, and she only saw a slightly red face of the person wrapped in a white bathrobe.Now she stood u
"And then?"Leandro understood, but he didn't want to let her go so easily.Charlotte deeply regretted reading that novel, and of course, she regretted even more inexplicably letting Leandro go for a swim.She instinctively reached out to push the person in front of her, but no matter how hard she tried, the person in front of her remained unmoved.Charlotte awkwardly raised her head and said, "I wanted to go ashore."Leandro pursed his lips and said, "I wondered what happened to the main characters afterwards."He smiled and reached out to help Charlotte tuck the wet hair on her cheek behind her ear, saying, "Mrs. Romero, it's not good to stop telling a story halfway."Charlotte listened to his laughter, her head feeling hot, as if she was being roasted over a fire.Even though I was soaking in the water, I still felt extremely hot."I told you as soon as I went up."The man who had always indulged her did not le
