"You will find out later. Now, you get ready first!" Shane said who again sounded mysterious to Charlotte's ears.

Shane shook his head

"Don't forget to double check, don't miss anything!" Shane added.

Charlotte wanted to ask again, but she tried to restrain herself and immediately organized her and her husband's equipment.

Shane himself was seen taking his cell phone and typing something on it. Charlotte did not ask and just rechecked their belongings.

After making sure everything was ready, Charlotte said, "Shane, I’m ready."

Shane nodded and smiled at his wife, "Come on, let's go straight to the terrace."

"Did we take an online taxi from the front of the house, Shane?" Charlotte asked with a surprised look.

"Yes, so you don't have to walk much," Shane replied who, before Charlotte could ask again, had already been grabbed by her husband to walk out of the room.

When they arrived at the front porch of the house, their two parents who were seen lounging in front stared at them in surp

    The driver turned around and replied after smiling, “That’s right, ma'am."Charlotte swallowed, for the first time somewhat surprised at being called "ma'am". She immediately turned to her husband who was staring at her with a furrowed brow. "Why, Charlotte?""I look old, don't I, Shane?" Charlotte asked in a whispered tone of voice.That made Shane even more surprised. He replied in an astonished tone, "So why did you say that?""Didn't you hear me, Shane? The driver called me 'ma'am'," Charlotte explained.The laughter was unavoidable. Shane even touched his wife's hair out of excitement. "How come you're laughing, Shane?" Charlotte said, again frowning.Shane shook his head and immediately touched his wife's hand and clasped it, "Thank you, Charlotte. Thank you.""Thank you for what?" It was now Charlotte who looked at her husband with her eyebrows raised in confusion.Shane gently rubbed the back of his wife's hand and said, "For accepting my proposal. I ... feel like a lucky m

    Charlotte was led to a room where for the first time in her life she received a brief salon treatment, and then she was taken to another room.There the dresses and accessories bought for her by her husband were already neatly arranged on the right. "Go ahead, Ma'am!" the female employee said, who was very young this time.However, during the time she was being dressed by her Charlotte was truly amazed. Besides being careful, the woman looked meticulous. About forty minutes later, just as Shane had predicted the treatment to be over, the employee said, "It's done, Ma'am."Charlotte, who had put on a soft pink long-sleeved dress, looked at herself in front of the large mirror. How surprised she was to see herself so much different.She even touched her long hair which was left loose but adorned with beautiful but not glamorous ornaments. The necklaces and bracelets she wore also made her look more charming but not overdone.The woman even smiled at her reflection.“You are so beautif

    Being stared at so intensely and a touch on the chin like that, of course, made Charlotte even more helpless. The husband's charm was no joke. The man seemed to transform into a very different man. His dominant aura was so strong that Charlotte almost thought he might have two personalities.However, when a smile was painted on Shane's thin lips so gently, Charlotte immediately dismissed the notion. Her husband's nature had not changed, still as warm as ever. It was just that now Shane looked different on the outside. His physique had changed but his eyes and smile were still the same as the Shane she knew. "Why are you staring at me like that?" Shane asked whose breath swept across Charlotte's face.Uh, she could not get close to that man in such close proximity. She felt it was not safe for her heart. In her eyes, Shane was too handsome like the dream man in dramas that women go crazy over."Am I too handsome to make you amazed like that? Are you mesmerized by your husband?" Sha

    Charlotte suddenly looked up, staring at her towering husband. She saw that her handsome husband again painted a warm smile until Kirana unconsciously returned it with a sweet smile."Well, you see. My wife is beautiful, you don't have to be nervous," the man said, who reflexively made Charlotte break their gaze.Shane understood it well that his wife was embarrassed. He, who was still embracing Charlotte with his left hand on her shoulder, invited his beautiful wife to walk closer to his coworkers. Shane nodded at them before asking his wife to sit on an empty chair, right next to Faye who had also arrived along with her husband."Faye," Charlotte greeted before sitting down.The stunned Faye stammered back, "Yeah, Charlotte."Someone else ventured to ask, “Charlotte. That's ... her husband?" The last part of the word 'Her husband' was uttered silently by the woman. Charlotte nodded, "Yes, this is my husband.""Shane," Charlotte called softly to her husband.Shane, who understood

    Instead of answering his wife's question, Shane said, "Later, dear. Uh, there... look!"Shane pointed at a small child who was about to dance. Charlotte immediately understood. Her husband still did not want to discuss it.It was obvious that Charlotte was very curious. But, she could not possibly force her husband to say what she did not want him to discuss.She was not a pushover. After all, after knowing Shane for more than a week, she felt that he was a good person. It was just that he had secrets.So she tried to tolerate it by not forcing her husband."You ... must be really beautiful in a wedding dress," Shane said suddenly.The sudden change of topic made Charlotte a little surprised. Moreover, she found Shane turning to her and saying with a sweet smile, "We'll have a party later."Charlotte glared in shock."Huh? Why? The money is right-""Hm, did you forget what I said earlier?" Shane said while squinting.Charlotte winked, not understanding. "Forgot about what?""You don't

    Charlotte flashed her beautiful smile and said, "It's real.""No way," Abby said.She shook her head as if in disbelief, "That's really expensive. It's as expensive as a motorcycle. How ... can you possibly afford it?"Charlotte sighed patiently and turned to her husband who was staring at her in amazement.She took her husband by the hand with a bright face and said without looking at Abby, "I didn't buy it. This is all my husband bought.""A shoe cobbler like him can buy such expensive jewelry? Do you think I believe you? He only charges fifteen thousand per shoe repair," Fildan mocked.The man wore an annoying expression to insult Shane, but Charlotte seemed unfazed."Oh, that's true. But, in fact, she can afford to buy them," Charlotte replied indifferently.Shane shook his head but smiled at his wife who he thought was very brave. "What a lie. You can't believe I'm real," Faye said who then suddenly walked closer to Charlotte.Shane frowned when Faye said, "Let me see, there's

    Before Charlotte could open her mouth to reply to Beatrice's words, Cecilia snapped back first, "Yes, there's no need to ask again, Beatrice. It looks like she doesn't have any money."The two women continued to stare down at their brother-in-law. Charlotte could no longer stand hearing her husband insulted, but Shane said, "Sorry, we'll go to the room first. Charlotte is tired, she wants to rest for a while."Shane took his wife's hand who was looking at him in confusion. The look in her eyes clearly showed her unwillingness to leave."Huh? Mom and Dad said you went by online taxi. How are you tired?" Beatrice said with narrowed eyes.Cecilia also looked at her sister and brother-in-law without blinking and then chuckled, "Oh, it must be because the online taxi wasn't full? Because money is tight?"Charlotte was still silent but her hand, which was being grasped by Shane, strengthened as if she was trying to overcome her anger through it."Ih, then there's no need to hesitate to tak

    "That's right, Sis. I know it by heart," Cecilia said.Beatrice was even more astonished, "Where did you get the money to buy such nice clothes?"Cecilia clucked her tongue, "I don't know, but I'm sure it couldn't have come from being a shoe repairman."Beatrice nodded, seemingly agreeing with Cecilia's statement. "I suspect that Shane got the money from other sources.""Let's pretend we don't know first, then we'll tell mom and dad when we find out. How about that?" Cecilia said.Beatrice nodded and looked at the contents of the bag again. But there was nothing else in it.Meanwhile, Shane, who had just taken a change of clothes, asked his wife, "Why don't you show your jewelry, dear?"Charlotte, who was cleaning up their dirty clothes, replied, "At first I wanted to show it off, Shane."Shane nodded, "So why didn't you?""Afraid they wouldn't believe that the jewelry was real?" Shane guessed.Charlotte shook her head quickly and grimaced before answering, "I wasn't afraid that they

    The girl did not stop there. She immediately stepped closer to Shane who was about to get into his car.Shane immediately stepped back. Unfortunately, Queen was one step ahead of the handsome man and she quickly blocked the door with her hand.Shane sighed in exasperation, not understanding the young girl's way of thinking. "Answer, Shane! Why are you still hiding your wife's identity?" Queen urged Shane who was now standing a few steps away from her with Ferry who was starting to look anxious."Why would I answer that?" Shane retorted through gritted teeth as he almost lost his self-control.Queen sneered, "Oh, come on. Don't go around in circles! All you have to do is answer why you didn't introduce her publicly.""In fact, Aric said he didn't know anything about the girl you married. Isn't that very strange?" Queen added with a furrowed brow.When that name was mentioned, of course Shane could no longer tolerate Queen's attitude which was still bothering him.So, with great restr

    "No," Shane said, who had taken one step forward.Agatha's lips trembled as she replied, "You didn't lie, Sir?"Shane sighed, "Have I ever lied?"Indeed not. Everyone knew that their boss always told the truth and never broke his word if he had promised something.Before leaving, Shane said, "And as for Agatha's replacement, we'll discuss it in three days. In the meantime, all of Agatha's duties will be handled by Ferry."Ferry, who seemed to have guessed that her boss would speak like that and pointed at her, only replied with a nod.After finishing his business at the French restaurant, Shane immediately went to Brokefield. The young man attended a meeting for almost two hours there. He did not feel bored at all, as if he was used to his routine as a young businessman.Indeed, he was the heir apparent of Lee Shoes, but he also had his own business to take care of. So, he also tried to divide his time so that all his affairs could run smoothly.Ferry, his personal assistant, played

    Agatha of course could not possibly argue. Especially with the cold and flat tone of voice that Shane had used earlier.She was forced to say, "Fair, sir.""I ... thank you for giving me a chance to make things right. I promise I will never repeat my actions again. Nor will I ever-""Wait a minute!" Shane said suddenly, making Agatha stop talking.Shane frowned, "I haven't reinstated your position yet. Your friends haven't even voted yet. So, you ... don't need to thank me."Agatha nodded in understanding.Then the girl moved her head and instantly she seemed to have a lot of confidence again. She did not even hesitate to stare at the employees one by one and put on her best smile. She also threw a look at them as if to say, "Choose me. I'm counting on you."Once she was sure that they would vote for her again, Agatha said to Shane, "I am ready, Sir. When will they be asked to vote?"Shane looked astonished at the girl's overconfident demeanor. But he couldn't comment on it and coul

    Agatha's beautiful gray contact lens-covered eyes widened perfectly at once, "You mean ... what? I don't understand, Sir."Shane sighed again, looking very tired.Ferry and some of the staff who knew Shane's character quite well realized that the super-handsome man was currently holding a great deal of resentment towards his employee.Shane was about to fire Agatha but he was the head of the European-style restaurant so he couldn't just dismiss people for flimsy reasons.Nor can he just walk away or ignore small problems that occur.Besides, Le Restaurant Jules Verne De S was the first restaurant he had built without his father's involvement so he would never willingly let the place have a bad image."Ferry," Shane called out.Ferry hurriedly handed Agatha a laptop.The girl quickly wiped away the tears that had fallen and looked confused at Shane."Just look at it!" Shane ordered again.Shane mo

    "What is it, Mr. Shane?" Miko asked in astonishment.Shane immediately asked while pointing at Bagas who seemed to be talking to two men, "He ... is he an employee of this company?"Of course for that matter Miko had absolutely no idea and he turned to the young man standing beside him, asking for help.So the one who answered was Ferry who was always in the company as Shane's assistant who would do any work according to his orders, "He should be, Sir. He's wearing the company's employee identification card here."Shane immediately looked at the dark blue object hanging around Percy's neck and understood.Ferry added, "The blue color indicates that he is an employee or staff, the green color indicates that he is an employee in the production department, while red is for visitors or guests."Shane nodded and replied with a bit of offense, "I know the explanation of the colors, I just didn't pay much attention to the sign."Ferry

    "Of course, Mr. Lee," Ferry replied obediently.In just a few seconds Ferry had prepared a file of the employee data referred to by Shane on a special tablet that Shane used for work.Shane immediately read the list without wasting time.However, just after he had read a few pages, Ferry said, "Sir, the meeting is about to start."Shane reluctantly handed the tablet back to his personal assistant and said, "I'll read it again later.""Yes, Sir. I will tell Mr. Damian later," Ferry replied.Shane got up from his chair and walked to the meeting room that was located only a few meters away from his room.The staff and employees who were not participating in the meeting looked up when they saw the handsome man who was the heir to Lee Shoes walking with his young assistant.A young girl staring at him without blinking said, "Why does he have to get married anyway? Being handsome and already owned by someone doesn't seem like s

    Miko could only shrug, "I can't confirm that either, Sir."It wasn't that he didn't want to say that, but he himself felt that there wasn't much."So what? You are the one who meets Mr. Lee the most. Don't you know, Sir?" Damian asked again.Miko shook his head. He looked around the office on that floor, as if to make sure that no one would hear what he was saying.It would be very dangerous if anyone was listening to their conversation. Moreover, it was the leader's personal matter which was of course very confidential.Damian himself was quite hopeful that Miko would provide useful information for him since he didn't know too much about the company's leader.Miko said quietly, "I actually don't meet Mr. Lee often. Only a few times, when he was with his wife."Hearing that explanation, Damian couldn't resist asking, “Uh, Sir. What is Mr. Lee's wife like? Pretty?"Miko smiled, "Beautiful for sure, but ...

    Charlotte was of course annoyed, but she knew that whatever she said now would not change anything so she simply said, "I take my leave for work first, Dad, Mom. And ... congratulations, Gas for the promotion. Cecilia, I go first. It's getting late."Cecilia nodded with a happy smile, as if she'd managed to get one step ahead of her sister, while Barbara and Charles didn't respond to their daughter's words, ignoring her as if she wasn't there.Percy said, "When it's official, I'll invite you and Shane for the celebration."Charlotte responded with a small nod and quickly left the house after saying her greetings.She was not jealous. Not at all. She just did not want to hear any more insults or ridicule from her own family about her or her husband.Because, if she heard any more, she would definitely not be able to bear it anymore and would probably come out with a defense that might make her family upset with her.Me

    However, Agatha could do nothing else. She knew that she could only wait for tomorrow in silence.Meanwhile, Charlotte and Shane were still on their way to their house. If they had previously walked to the French restaurant, now they were back in a car whose driver Charlotte had memorized.Charlotte observed her husband who had just turned off his cell phone and did not hesitate to ask, "Why, Shane? How come his face is so serious."Shane winked and reflexively touched his own face, "Is it?""Yes. From the moment we got out of the restaurant, you were silent, then you looked really serious while holding your cell phone," Charlotte explained.Shane suddenly changed his facial expression and smiled at his wife, "Oh, you were still a bit upset earlier. Then this is serious when you're contacting people for work.""Oh, I see," Charlotte replied while nodding, not suspicious at all.Shane then said, "Charlotte, about the money for father, shall we give it tomorrow?
