In the end, he still couldn't bear it. After just a light taste, Leandro restrained himself.
He exhausted his strength, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, breathing slowly.
However, the sweet fragrance around me kept hitting my nose from time to time, sweet yet torturous.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Charlotte, who was holding him and laughed helplessly.
The alcohol tolerance was poor, but the courage to drink was quite high.
Charlotte had a dream, in which she was a rabbit, suddenly kissed by a sheep that was eating grass.
The sheep looked at her apologetically and even gave up its grass for her to eat.
Just as Charlotte thought this was a polite gentleman sheep, the sheep suddenly stood up and ripped itself open, and then she saw a wolf crawl out from the sheepskin, staring at her with red glowing eyes.
Charlotte had just prepared to run when she was suddenly pinned down by a wolf. The wolf hooked its p
However, it didn't take long for Charlotte to lose her laughter.After taking a bath, she gradually remembered the events of last night.Elizabeth was right, she wasn't fit to go out when she was drunk.Thinking about how she clung to Leandro asking for a hug last night, Charlotte hid under the blanket, not wanting to see anyone at all.Leandro had changed his clothes and waited in the restaurant for quite a while, but Charlotte didn't show up. He got up and walked straight to Charlotte's room, knocking on the door, "Ms. Bernard?"Didn't respond.Charlotte heard a knock at the door, her whole body tensed up. She clutched the blanket tightly and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.Leandro waited a few seconds, then directly placed his hand on the doorknob.The door wasn't shut tightly. He turned the doorknob and the door opened.Leandro pushed open the door and immediately saw the lump hidden under the blanket.
The act of offending people while drunk, indeed made one feel embarrassed when sober.Charlotte, fearing Leandro would settle scores later, quickly changed the subject: "...Mr. Romero, are you going back to the company later?""Mm-hmm."He responded with a sound, his emotions unreadable.Charlotte bit into the sandwich, finding it tasteless in her mouth.He had almost finished eating, took a sip of his American coffee, glanced at her, and asked, "Do you have plans today?""No."My leg was still lame, what could have been arranged?"I came back for lunch at noon."Charlotte was pondering the meaning behind Leandro's words. Could he be asking her to make lunch?She looked at Leandro, tentatively asking, "Should I make lunch and wait for your return?"As soon as these words were spoken, Charlotte's ears turned red instantly.Why did this statement sound so much like something a wife would say to her hus
The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Charlotte stiffened for half a second before she shakily put away her powder puff, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Romero. This is setting powder, it's not poisonous. I, I'll clean it up for you!"She didn't do it on purpose!Charlotte had been wiping for a while before she realized there were no tissues on the table.She averted her gaze, meeting those dark pupils, not caring about tissues or no tissues, she directly used her hand to brush off the loose powder on those thin lips.To speak or not to speak, Leandro's lips were quite soft. Kissing them would probably be very comfortable, right?Realizing what she was thinking, Charlotte's ears suddenly turned bright red, the color spreading to her cheeks.It seemed as if Charlotte's fingertips had suddenly caught fire, and she was having a bit of trouble continuing.Leandro was no better off than her. The soft fingertips brushed past his lips, yet that person
After Leandro went to the company, Charlotte had intended to practice the piano, but when she thought of the "stupid things" she had done, she found it hard to calm down.She picked up her phone, hesitated for a long time, but still sent a message to Elizabeth."Liz, are you up yet? [Doggy_cowering.JPG]."True to her reputation as the fastest replier, Elizabeth had barely sent her message when she received a reply within a second: "Waking up so early on a beautiful weekend, something's not right with you, Lottie!"Charlotte was very guilty, "No, I went to bed early last night.""Tsk, did Lottie have to send me dog food so early in the morning?""? It seemed like I didn't say anything...""You didn't have to say anything, I understood!"Charlotte touched her ear, remembering that she had "serious business" with Elizabeth, and quickly stopped this inappropriate topic direction: "Liz, you said last time that I like to hug people w
Seeing Charlotte's embarrassment, Joyce remarked, "This villa is really big."Charlotte quickly nodded, "It is a bit big. You can familiarize yourself first, and you can ask me if you have any questions."Although she didn't quite understand either.Joyce glanced at the refrigerator, finding it full of fresh vegetables. "Madam, is Mr. Romero coming home for lunch today? Is there anything you would like to eat?""Leandro was supposed to come back for dinner today."Saying this, Charlotte blinked, "Does Auntie know how to make pine nut fish? I haven't made pine nut fish in a long time."Joyce saw her bright and adorable almond eyes, and his fondness for Charlotte increased: "Yes, I will make it for you if you like it. I'll do it for you this afternoon.""Thank you, Joyce. I don't have anything specific in mind for now, just make whatever you think is best!"Charlotte was not a picky eater."Alright, what about Mr. Romero t
Charlotte smirked, stepped aside, and followed the fuming Marissa into the villa.Marissa had come specifically to see Charlotte today and had also deliberately come when Leandro was not around.Just now at the door, she had thought Charlotte was a fool, but every word from the other party was laced with barbs.Marissa was extremely upset and started ordering Charlotte to serve her tea as soon as she sat down.Charlotte immediately grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the fridge and placed it in front of Marissa: "Don't be shy, there's plenty of water."Marissa looked at Charlotte and slammed the table directly, "Do you even understand what hospitality means?""I understood, but you were not my guest."Charlotte hooked her lips, her almond eyes curved, smiling with a face full of sweetness.Marissa had realized that Charlotte never really cared about her at all.Given that, she didn't want to waste any more time: "Ms.
Meanwhile, on the 25th floor of the Splendid Group building.Melvin saw Leandro coming out of the conference room and hurriedly approached him: "Mr. Romero--"Leandro glanced at him, signaling him to continue.Melvin's gaze fell on the red mark on the left side of Leandro's neck, causing him to pause for a moment.It seemed as if he had discovered something extraordinary...But how come he didn't notice this red mark in the morning?"Melvin?"A deep male voice sounded from the side, Melvin quickly came back to his senses: "I'm sorry, Mr. Romero, I was lost in thought."Leandro glanced at him, "What's the matter?""It seemed that Ms. Kemp had gone to find her wife."Hearing Melvin's words, the dark pupils noticeably sank. Leandro looked at Melvin, "I understand."After speaking, he went straight to the elevator.Melvin thought he was going back to the CEO's office, and subconsciously pressed the butto
Leandro's hand had already loosened the second button, the dark red scratch marks on his alabaster-like skin appeared particularly conspicuous.Charlotte averted her gaze, trying hard to force herself not to care about this "detail". But the thought of Leandro's scratch being exposed, and that she was the culprit behind it, made it impossible for her to ignore.When Leandro was unbuttoning the second button, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Romero, didn't you cover the scratch on your neck this morning?"Leandro glanced down at the scratch on his left neck, lifting his eyes nonchalantly, "Sweated this morning, it's smudged.""Was it blurred?"The concealer she used was both waterproof and sweatproof, the foundation she applied afterward was also waterproof and sweatproof, and finally, the setting makeup was also waterproof and sweatproof!It was burnt!To be honest, Charlotte was a bit skeptical.At that moment, the man
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
The car had just pulled out of the parking lot when there was a loud bang in the sky, and pea-sized raindrops started falling pitter-patter.Charlotte stood by the window, holding a cup, and looked at the distant dark and silent scene. She couldn't help but click her tongue.It seems that the rain will probably last for half a day today.She stood and watched the rain for a while, drank the water in her cup, went to the water dispenser at kitchen island to get another cup of water, and planned to go upstairs to continue practicing the piano.At that moment, a sound came from the entrance hall.Charlotte was startled and looked up to see a man walking in expressionlessly.She instinctively called out, "Mr. Romero."Leandro glanced at her and then crossed the kitchen island, heading towards the basement level.Charlotte blinked her eyes and felt that Leandro was a bit strange today.At this moment, Joyce came out of the ki
Leandro said he wouldn't smile if he didn't want to, the smile at the corner of his thin lips disappeared, his black eyes fixed on her, his whole demeanor serious and earnest, making Charlotte feel like she was sitting at a negotiation table.Under the gaze of her black eyes, it took only five seconds for her to surrender. She raised her hand and placed the phone on the table in front of him.Seeing Leandro reaching out to take the phone, Charlotte quickly raised her hand and held onto it, saying, "Mr. Romero, promise me you won't laugh after I finish watching."As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a warmth on the back of her hand.Charlotte was startled for a moment, and then her gaze dropped down to see the man's hand resting on top of hers.Her ears turned red, and she instinctively withdrew her hand.Leandro glanced at her and said, "I wouldn't smile."She was already feeling embarrassed, and when he said that, Charlotte fel
Charlotte worked diligently in the piano room all afternoon. After finishing the last piece, her fingers were sore.Holding her phone, she didn't really want to open it.But there were just too many unread messages, so she had to put her phone on the table and, while rubbing her fingers, open the message box.Caroline: "How is your leg recovering? Are you able to work again? The Sounnes Concert abroad has invited you to play the opening piece."Elizabeth: "How was it? Did Ms. Clements look for you today?"Believe it or not, Daisy is right below Elizabeth.Daisy: "Lottie, are you angry? I'm sorry, but can you please make it clear to me? Like, how did I make you dislike me?" She sent a sad cat emoji.Daisy sent this message at around three in the morning. Charlotte originally didn't want to reply, but when she saw her pitiful expression, her damn soft heart gave in!Charlotte pondered for a moment and sent a tactful reply: "I was
Charlotte woke up the next day close to eleven o'clock, got up and realized she was still wearing a dress. The events of last night slowly came back to her mind.She was sober and rational when the incident happened, but she couldn't help but hug and kiss Leandro.Obviously, alcohol gave him courage.After realizing that she had done something absurd again, Charlotte felt extremely embarrassed but did not feel the slightest bit of regret.She was indeed influenced by Elizabeth!She raised her hand and rubbed her face, and her stomach made a grumbling sound, expressing its emptiness.Charlotte quickly got out of bed and, while changing her clothes, she realized that the zipper of her skirt was open!Did she not zip up when she went to the party last night?It's impossible. She checked it carefully before going out, and the zipper was closed properly. Now, after waking up from a nap, the zipper is open!Last night, there w
Leandro looked at her for a moment, "Was it really that painful?""..."Is this a difficult question to answer?Charlotte turned her head to the other side, closed her eyes, and pretended to be dead.The man just sat closer, and the refreshing scent of wood on his body occasionally wafted over, always enticing her to lean towards him.Charlotte was struggling between reason and morality, and finally welcomed the dawn of victory. Her blood test report finally came out!All indicators in the report were normal.Charlotte quickly stood up from her chair and said, "Mr. Romero, let's go home!"Go home, worst case scenario, she can count ten thousand sheep to fall asleep."Better go see a doctor."Charlotte remembered the doctor's ghostly gaze and had no courage to go back and see him."Go back, go back!"She couldn't care about being reserved at the moment, and instinctively she grabbed Leandro's arm and
"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"The doctor began to ask questions.Charlotte instinctively looked at Leandro. "She had a few drinks, so someone might have spiked her drink."The doctor furrowed his brow and asked, "What symptoms do you have?""Let your wife speak."This time, Leandro didn't speak, so the doctor spoke first.The culprit Charlotte quickly spoke up, "It's a bit hot, always feeling thirsty and unable to sleep.""What else?"The doctor listened to the heartbeat and breathing while asking.Some things were difficult for Charlotte to speak about. Under the doctor's gaze, she clenched her hands and trembled as she spoke in a quivering voice, "There's this strange feeling in my body, I don't know how to describe it, it's just not quite normal..."You understand, right, doctor?"There shouldn't be any major issues. Go get an electrocardiogram, measure your blood pressure, and have a
