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
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
"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
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
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,
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
"I forgot to ask earlier, what kind of business trip gift do you want?"Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then realized and instinctively wanted to say no, but immediately remembered the sentence Leandro said last time, "Melvin picked a gift for his girlfriend." She realized that she had to have this business trip gift, whether she wanted it or not.She thought for a moment, "Mango candy, is it okay?"The man looked at her and chuckled lightly, "Do you like eating that much?"She looked embarrassed, "Well, I just wanted to try different mango candies.""Okay."Charlotte didn't know if it was her illusion, but she thought Leandro was "good", gentle and indulgent.Oh no, now she even knows how to sabotage herself.That night, Charlotte had a dream with a "mango flavor".The next day, the alarm clock rang, and she opened her eyes, looking at the familiar ceiling, only then realizing it was a dream.It was so real!
Leandro went on a business trip, and Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.A few days ago, she was hiding from people so much that she couldn't bear it. Now that Leandro is on a business trip, she finally doesn't have to hide from people anymore!However, Charlotte didn't stay happy for long. On the fourth day of Leandro's business trip, she discovered that she was the only one in the big villa at night, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable for no apparent reason.On ordinary days, she couldn't continue playing the relaxing game before bedtime, so she just stared at her phone.Charlotte didn't come to her senses until she received a message from Elizabeth.Lottie, would you like to hang out this weekend?Charlotte was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that it was already Friday today!Time passed so quickly, why hasn't Leandro come back yet?She was thinking about this matter in her mind, but she didn't expect that
Can she pretend to be dead? Charlotte's hand holding the phone trembled when she saw Leandro's straightforward question with a simple "?"Last night, Elizabeth sent me a video of a bar before going to bed, and she added, "Join me tomorrow to watch handsome guys, thank you."She had just been impulsive, thinking about the message Elizabeth had sent her before going to sleep last night. Without thinking, she replied with her words: "I'm ready to go and accompany you to see handsome guys."Unfortunately, at that moment, she mistakenly sent the message to Leandro!Charlotte's face was burning hot, just as she was about to send a message saying "Wrong person" to pass it off, Elizabeth sent a message at this moment: Did you wake up? My handsome boys are already impatient!Meanwhile, Leandro sent another message: "What handsome guy are you looking at?"She pondered her response as Elizabeth's messages kept popping up one after another.Charl
The two of them arrived home exactly at five o'clock. Charlotte got out of the car and watched as Leandro opened the back seat door, only then realizing that she had forgotten the things she bought.She instinctively reached out to take it, but Leandro gave her a disdainful look and said, "Are you afraid I'll break it?"She looked embarrassed and said, "No."Leandro laughed and asked, "What did you buy?"This was the second time he asked her this question.Just now in the car, Charlotte couldn't answer the question. Now at home, she simply pointed to the bag in his hand and said, "I bought you a little gift."After saying that, she added somewhat embarrassedly, "It's really just a small gift."After all, she couldn't afford the big gift.Leandro raised an eyebrow and said, "This one?"He had two bags in his hands, both of them were about the same size. In addition, there was a necklace that Charlotte liked, it wasn't exp
Charlotte blinked her eyes, knowing that Leandro had misunderstood, but upon hearing his words, a warm feeling enveloped her heart.She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and looked at the fruit tea in her hand. "Do you still want to drink it?"Just as the green light in front turned red, the car couldn't pass. Leandro slowly stopped the car and said, "Damn it."This time, without him saying a word, Charlotte took the initiative to hand the straw to his lips.As he was drinking, she finally spoke up and explained, "Actually, I wasn't worried that she would lure you away -"The words "hook up" are a bit difficult to mention. Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing, "I have been dealing with Lydia for so many years, so I know her quite well. If it really was her, then she must have come after me.""But it didn't really matter that she was coming towards me, because she couldn't really do anything anyway."In the past years, Lydi
Charlotte had just replied to Elizabeth's message when Leandro's message popped up.Leandro: I arrived.Charlotte caught sight of this message and instinctively looked up.The black Bentley was parked on the side of the road, and Charlotte saw it at a glance.She took her phone, grabbed the bag, and ran over.Today the weather was a bit hot, and when Charlotte ran to the car, sweat broke out on her forehead.Leandro took the shopping bag from her hands, placed it on the back seat, watched her get into the car, and then closed the car door for her before returning to the driver's seat."Why are you in such a hurry? I can't run, you know?"Charlotte had just fastened her seatbelt when she heard his words and felt a bit awkward: "It's easy to get a parking ticket here."Leandro slightly curled his lips and said, "It's fine to give Mrs. Romero a ticket."Charlotte listened to his words and felt as if something gently
Over the weekend, there was some traffic congestion on the Global side, and Elizabeth's taxi was still about two kilometers away.Leandro also said it would take another half an hour to arrive, allowing Charlotte to wander around a bit more.Elizabeth saw Charlotte finish the call and raised an eyebrow, "Lottie, Mr. Romero didn't come so quickly, did he?"Charlotte nodded, "It would take about half an hour to come over.""Should we buy a cup of latte to drink?"Charlotte thought for a moment, "Alright."It is better to not stand here foolishly.The crowd here today was really big, and there were quite a few people waiting at the entrance of the latte shop.Charlotte ordered a cup of fruit tea milkshake, the receipt came out, and there were seventeen people in front.Fortunately, the staff at the latte shop were quite efficient. After waiting for about ten minutes, there were only seven people left.Elizabeth looke
Charlotte actually didn't have much experience buying gifts for the opposite sex. Greyson's gifts were easy to buy, and he didn't pay much attention to his appearance. Whatever Charlotte bought; he was happy.As for Marcus, she had only sincerely given two gifts. One was a valuable watch with collectible value, and the other was a gift she personally prepared. However, Marcus did not cherish them, and even the gift he gave her on their anniversary was extremely perfunctory, so she just picked one casually.Anyway, he didn't care.But Leandro was different!"Liz, what do you think would be a good gift to give?"Elizabeth sighed, "Lottie, this question really stumps me! What do you think someone like Mr. Romero lacks? Well, it's not really about lacking something, to put it differently, what he likes, you might not be able to afford."Charlotte was taken aback by Elizabeth's words, although they were hurtful, they were also true.Leandr
Hanna's friend became more and more excited as she spoke: "You know, back when we were in school, Leandro was really different towards you. It's a pity that your family immigrated during high school! In all these years, I haven't heard of him having any girlfriend, I've only seen him having a good relationship with you.""You see, he told you about his marriage and even asked when you would return to your home country. Isn't this a clear hint?"Hanna smiled and denied, "You are overthinking. He had a good relationship with Mrs. Romero, didn't they trend a few times?"Hanna's friends disapproved, "Don't you know about this? Leandro has a bad relationship with his stepmother. Now that he's of age, his father wants him to get married. He married Charlotte, and we all think it's related to this! Moreover, Marco doesn't like Charlotte at all. Some people say that the first time Charlotte went to the Romero family with Leandro, she was immediately kicked out!"
Hanna almost turned away with a black face, and her friends around her didn't quite understand what they had just heard.Charlotte constantly badmouthed Hanna, and now it seems that Hanna has been cornered by Charlotte, leaving her speechless and infuriated.Hanna's friend looked at Hanna for a moment, hesitated, and then spoke, "Hanna, when did you have a conflict with Mrs. Romero?"Hanna would naturally not let her friends know about such embarrassing matters.She frowned, "I'm not sure where I offended Ms. Bernard. It might be because I have a good relationship with Lance, so Ms. Bernard misunderstood."Upon hearing Hanna's words, the friend couldn't help but say, "Is this Mrs. Romero being too sensitive?"She said, pausing for a moment, "But it's true, she also doesn't know what means she used to make Leandro marry her! Speaking of which, Hanna, you don't know, recently this Charlotte, in our circle, was really in the limelight!"
As soon as Elizabeth said this, Hanna's legs went weak for a moment.Her friend next to her reached out and gave her a hand, saying, "Hanna?"She waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing, and turned to look at Charlotte. "No need to thank me. I have known Lance for so many years, and I am also glad that he has found someone he likes so much. I wish you both happiness!"Hanna was still trying to salvage the situation, and Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly. "Ms. Norton, if you are truly happy and truly wish us well, I hope that next time you won't mention Leandro's name.""I remember the last time we played golf; Leandro made it clear that his name, except for his grandfather, would not be called by anyone else, and he also didn't like being called by others. Look at me, his wife, I also just call him Leandro, right?""Also, as his wife, I didn't really want to hear other women calling my husband by his name. After all, it's such an intimate
Obviously, Hanna also saw Charlotte and Elizabeth.Hanna has had a hard time accepting that Charlotte was Charlene's thing until now.She certainly couldn't accept it, after all, she had said so many things in front of Charlotte before.Making her admit that Charlotte is Charlene, isn't that just asking for a slap in the face?Of course, it is a fact that Charlotte was Charlene, and even if Hanna pretended to be deaf and dumb, she couldn't resist.After all these days, she could hear someone asking her every now and then, "Is Leandro's wife really Charlene?"She returned to her home country this time quite ostentatiously. Just after her return, people in her circle were inquiring about how well she had been doing abroad and why she suddenly came back.Back then, Hanna was determined to win over Leandro, although she didn't explicitly say it, she did mention phrases like "for the person I like" and "for love."Her family immigra
