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
Too close!Charlotte stiffened completely. Just as she was about to turn her face away, Leandro, who had originally been facing her sideways, suddenly moved his face.She hadn't yet registered what had happened, only feeling a slight softness on her lips as they brushed against the man's cheek.Even though it was just a fleeting touch, it was enough to leave Charlotte disoriented.Was this something she could do?Her ears and face turned red almost instantly. Leandro glanced down at her, "Are you going to pick up your phone?""Picked up."The expression on the other person's face didn't change at all, as if nothing had happened.Charlotte also tried hard to ignore her slightly too fast heartbeat, waiting for Leandro to let her go.But Leandro didn't let her go, instead, he squatted down while still holding her.The man's lower body strength was astonishingly good, he held her and squatted without shaking at all.
"Hiss--"The intense pain forced tears from Charlotte's eyes before she could react, her cheek was suddenly pinched. Leandro had stood up at some point, his right hand gripping her cheek."First, spit out the ribs."Only then did Charlotte realize, and quickly spat out the ribs.The hand that had been pinching her cheek was withdrawn, and Leandro handed her a cup of warm water, "Where did you bite?""Tongue.""What were you thinking about so seriously?"She took a sip of water, retracted her tongue, and subconsciously responded, "A matter of a hundred million."As soon as the words were spoken, Charlotte was stunned.She's really not usually like this, she must have been blinded by that one hundred million today.She glanced at Leandro across from her, "That's not what I meant."He slightly lifted his gaze, took a glance, and said in a soft voice, "Understood, let's eat first.""Alright."Afte
Leandro and Charlotte were the only ones left in the living room.Charlotte felt guilty, and she didn't dare to look into Leandro's face.She hadn't figured out how to start the conversation when she heard the other person ask her, "Are you close with the aunt?""Not familiar."Leandro didn't speak, he sat down to the side, giving her a meaningful glance.Charlotte quickly pushed the watermelon and grapes over in a pleasing manner: "Eat the watermelon, it's very sweet."Leandro looked at Charlotte, who was trying hard to sell him watermelons. A hint of amusement flashed in his dark eyes, but in an instant, he returned to his usual cold demeanor: "I don't like sweet things."Of course, except for the "rabbit".Charlotte: "?"Could she repeat that this watermelon isn't that sweet?Charlotte took a bite of watermelon and suddenly realized a blind spot, "Mr. Romero, may I ask you a presumptuous question?"Leand
Just when Charlotte thought the male fairy wouldn't respond to her question, he spoke nonchalantly, "You're right, I'll have Melvin sort it out and give you the information later."Couldn't we just talk about it now?Was it necessary to be so serious?Of course, Charlotte didn't dare to say this."...Alright."She nodded with a smile, looking at the watermelon and grapes in front of her. After a moment of hesitation, she picked them up: "I'm going to the piano room to practice."Having eaten a bit too much, she needed to burn off some calories.Leandro's gaze swept over the plate of watermelon in her hand, only giving a slight nod.Charlotte, fearing that he would come to hug her again, hurried to the stairs and, grabbing the handrail, headed upstairs.Mr. Romero was too enthusiastic. She was a bit overwhelmed.Leandro stared at the figure on the stairs until his phone rang, only then did he look away.Seei
Charlotte had practiced the piano for two hours, her hands were a bit sore. She picked up her phone, intending to surf the internet and see what new trends were happening online recently.Just as she picked up her phone, Charlotte noticed that she had received a text message about her bank card:"Your card ending in 9987 received an income of 100000000.00 from Industrial and Commercial Bank on July 10th (transferred from another bank), the other party's account name is..."Ah!Was she dreaming?Charlotte's hand was trembling as she held her phone, it took her several attempts to successfully take a screenshot. It took her even more attempts to hit "send" when she was trying to send the screenshot to Elizabeth.Charlotte: Liz, quickly help me check, is this one hundred million?Elizabeth: Did Leandro transfer a billion to you? [ShockedFace.JPG]Elizabeth: Zero is too many, wait a moment, let me count again!Elizabeth: I'v
Fortunately, Leandro didn't say anything, he just picked up that high-heeled cup and finished the sip of red wine inside.Others drank red wine as if they were drinking red wine, but Leandro drank red wine as if he wasn't drinking red wine.As for what it specifically was, Charlotte couldn't come up with a similar description. If she had to express it vividly, it would probably be that while others drank red wine like monkeys on Mount Violetrock drinking water, Leandro drank red like a golden-snub-nosed monkey drinking water.To put it bluntly, the elegance of the nobility was all there."Is there something wrong?"He had poured nearly half a glass of wine, gently swaying it as he looked up at her.Charlotte quickly placed her phone in front of him: "I just received a billion in my account."Almost forgot the main thing!Leandro's gaze faltered slightly, "Is there a problem?""Did you turn?""Didn't you want to ge
Leandro quickly returned with a black card. Charlotte immediately logged into the mobile banking app on her phone and filled out all the information, only to be told in the end that for large transfers, she had to personally go to the counter to operate.Charlotte glanced at Leandro, "Large transfers need to be done at the counter, can I take a picture?""Take the card, the password is my birthday. Use it to book formal wear for parties, and you can also use it when shopping with friends."So, this card was exclusively for her use in the future, right?Then what was the significance of her transferring one hundred million into this card?"There were quite a few occasions I had to attend and quite a few formal suits you needed to order. This is what you should have taken."He glanced at her and added another sentence.What he said made sense, but Charlotte found herself unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.Leandro had said
Charlotte just cried, her tears dried up, feeling a bit uncomfortable on her face.Now Greyson woke up and lay on the hospital bed, staring at her.She didn't think she looked good, so she found an excuse to say she needed to go to the bathroom, and then went into the bathroom to wash her face.Cold water splashed onto her face, and this time, she was incredibly grateful.Looking at herself in the mirror, Charlotte closed her eyes and calmed down. She then opened her eyes again, and the redness in her eyes had already faded a lot.She smiled at herself in the mirror and then walked out of the bathroom.Charlotte walked out of the bathroom and saw Leandro, who had come back with oatmeal. He was chatting with Greyson, and she walked over to Leandro's side.Greyson was not feeling well and would wake up for half an hour before falling asleep again.Orion had to stay overnight and was unwilling to go back to the Bernard's villa.
Leandro said and then turned around and left the ward. Inside the ward, there were Orion and Charlotte, along with Greyson who was still unconscious lying on the bed.Charlotte looked at Greyson lying on the hospital bed, and she couldn't imagine what would have happened if, after the doors of the emergency room opened, the doctor had told her that he hadn't been saved. She would have been devastated.Her mother passed away when she was too young to remember, and Greyson raised her single-handedly.When she was very young, she had asked Greyson countless times why other children had mothers, but she didn't.Greyson would always tell her that because her mother had gone to heaven early, she would help buy her favorite toys and when she goes there in the future, she can have a house full of beloved toys.She later grew up a bit and then she found out that her mother was no longer in this world.She gradually stopped asking about her mother, bu
Charlotte had actually calmed down a lot, it was just because of fear that her fingers became cold.Leandro's warm palm conveyed strength, making her less overwhelmed.The hospital at night is much quieter than during the day, except for the emergency department, all other departments have already closed.Greyson was taken to the hospital by an ambulance, and Leandro immediately knew that he was being treated in the emergency room.He led Charlotte towards the emergency room, following the nurse's instructions just now.The two of them had not reached the entrance of the emergency room when Charlotte saw the butler Orion.Greyson suddenly fainted, and it was Jaylen at home who first noticed.Fortunately, Orion reacted quickly and immediately called an ambulance. Greyson was quickly taken to Cliff Hospital for treatment."Orion.""Ms. Bernard, Mr. Romero."Orion saw Charlotte, which could be considered finding the
The man's kiss initially only stayed on her lips, but slowly he became unsatisfied with just the lips.Charlotte felt hot all over her body, and the itchiness spread from her lips down her neck, finally invading her chest.In the room, almost all there was the sound of her and Leandro's breathing.Leandro kissed her and asked in a low, husky voice, "Mrs. Romero, would you like to do something you love?"The voice was deep and sexy, like a grain of sand falling into her heart, grinding her to the point of unbearable.She was like a fish pulled ashore, lacking water and oxygen. The instinct to survive made her open her mouth to breathe, and her mind was all jumbled up, unable to think at all.The unbearable pain in her body made her unable to help but hum, and this sound directly broke Leandro's last sanity.He had been enduring since the afternoon, and couldn't bear it any longer.The air conditioning in the room was turned up h
Charlotte was feeling flustered after being caught by the head teacher for reading a novel in class. In her panic, she loosened her grip and her phone fell directly onto the bedsheet.She instinctively picked up her phone, then exited the reading app and switched back to the home screen. Only then did she nervously glance at the person beside her and said, "Reading a novel.""Reading novels on a mobile phone is not good for the eyes, so I asked Melvin to prepare a Kindle."Charlotte was taken aback and reluctantly nodded, "Okay."Leandro looked at her and asked, "What novel is it? Is it good?""The romance novel that Liz sent me was just average, not very interesting, just to pass the time."I'm sorry, author. I lied, it was very good!Charlotte said, and she grabbed the thin blanket beside her.She really didn't know how to lie.Obviously, Leandro also noticed her little gesture: "Are you so engrossed that Mrs. Romero 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
