Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 37. What Are Your Rights?
Charlotte was indeed annoyed at her coworker who was always pestering her, but she was currently in a situation where she had to remain professional. Hence, the not-so-light-skinned woman only replied in a low tone, "Faye, do you want to help me or not?"Charlotte did not wait for Faye's reply and immediately went back to greeting the customer who had begun to put down her groceries.Faye could only smile wryly while helping Charlotte to pack the customer's goods without being able to bother Charlotte anymore.She was forced to hold her tongue until the end of their working hours. "Wow! Charlotte, who was that handsome guy?" One of Charlotte’s coworkers asked when Charlotte took her small backpack from the locker.Charlotte closed her eyes for a moment to make herself much calmer while facing those people who might intend to hurt her heart.It was Faye who replied, "Charlotte's ex-boyfriend. Isn't he cool? I don't think he's just a random person."Abby, who happened to have just ent

Charlotte shook her head and muttered again, "Uh, there's no way Shane would be angry. He would never think negatively of me.""Yes, that's right." Charlotte added, reassuring herself.But, unfortunately, she remained restless as she waited for her husband to come pick her up there. However, she was greatly relieved when some of her coworkers seemed indifferent when they found out she was still there, not yet out of the minimarket.About two minutes later, her cell phone vibrated. Charlotte quickly picked up the call."I'm already in front of your bake shop, Charlotte. You can come out now," Shane said in the call.Charlotte replied with relief, "Yes, Shane."As soon as she hung up the call, she walked outside and she was immediately greeted with a warm smile by Shane who was standing at the edge near the highway.Shane was standing not far from Jonathan who was looking at Charlotte with astonishment.He had thought she was walking towards him, but instead she continued to walk past

"Enough, Jonathan!" Charlotte shouted who couldn't take it anymore."Why is that? You ... probably feel the most hurt because of that incident. Like that, Charlotte?" Jonathan replied sarcastically.The man looked happy to see Charlotte's current reaction, but Charlotte could not hold back her irritation so she said, "I don't care what you think of me. I just want to say, you don't need to show up in front of me anymore."Shane immediately grabbed his wife's shoulder gently, "Honey."Jonathan snorted in exasperation. He was about to reply again, but Shane was much faster than her, "I'm warning you. If you still dare to speak again or still try to disturb my wife, then I will not remain silent."Jonathan laughed dismissively. "What kind of a hobo can you be?""Don't you see who your opponent is?" Jonathan added while still looking at Rayan with a condescending gaze.Shane simply replied, "I am a husband who is disturbed by your behavior."After saying that, Shane actually took Charlott

Shane smiled even wider, showing his white and neat teeth, "Yes, it's even good, admiring your husband is even encouraged."After saying that, Shane stroked Charlotte's hair affectionately. Of course that little action instantly made the sweet lady's cheeks blush."Shane, it's not nice to be seen by people," Charlotte said, still blushing.Shane chuckled at his wife's response and said, "You're even more beautiful when you're so shy."Charlotte gritted her teeth, "Stop it please!”The woman immediately turned her gaze back to her husband again.“Let’s have dinner! I know this area.”Charlotte swallowed, feeling uncomfortable but still asking curiously, "When you go around?"Shane smiled as he heard his wife's words and said softly, "My struggle is not unbearable but yes ... thank God, right? Now the results are visible."Charlotte looked at her husband with a twinkling gaze full of adm

Shane nodded and let Charlotte continue the story."At that time, I was surprised because it was suddenly raining. I didn't have an umbrella with me so I could only use my bag to block the rain so it wouldn't get too wet."Charlotte sighed and saw that her husband seemed to be listening to her story carefully.She said, "When I was going to take shelter, I suddenly bumped into a guy. I slipped at that time. And ... the next incident was just like what you said. I ... will continue where you started repairing the shoes."Charlotte let out a sigh of relief.The young man smiled at her briefly and returned his attention to the black and white shoes he needed to repair.While waiting for the rain to stop, she watched him repair his shoes.The man looked serious and often did not even look in any direction while doing his work.In her heart, Charlotte began to wonder.How can there be such a handsome s

Shane chuckled at that. That of course immediately made Kirana even more confused, "Shane. How come?"Although she was a bit annoyed to hear her husband's response which she thought was very annoying, Charlotte still tried to keep her facial expression relaxed.Shane immediately restored his calm expression again and said, "Charlotte, I often had to say that because I was too mesmerized by your beauty."Charlotte gaped.Was her husband myopic? Or perhaps Shane was visually impaired? Charlottedid not know which was much closer. She was clearly an unattractive girl. Otherwise, Jonathan would not have had the heart to cheat on her and leave her without any guilt.In fact, even now he was laying the blame fully on her. Yet, her husband said as if she had succeeded in luring the handsome man. Charlotte hesitated, "Are you joking or what?""Why are you joking? You really look beautiful. Uh, really beautiful," Shane said with a meaningful smile.Charlotte snorted, maybe her husband was j

Shane stared at his wife whose forehead suddenly puckered. He knew very well that she was holding a big question.Not wanting to make his wife wonder anymore, Shane did not delay in answering, "From books. You know that books are the window to the world. Anything can be learned from there."Charlotte relaxed a little at that answer, but she was still not satisfied. "But how come you're so fluent like that, Shane? Like you're already a pro."Shane smiled softly in response to his wife's response, who still had an unsure look in her eyes, "Yes, because I like to learn, so I don't half-ass it."Charlotte let out a long sigh. She knew her husband was no fool. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get clients or customers from the upper class.Her husband had excellent communication skills and she could see it in the way Shane spoke to the waitress earlier."Do you still have questions about the French?" Shane asked with a calm expression.Charlotte shook her head. Even if she asked ag

As soon as Shane and his wife left the French restaurant, the woman who had insulted Kirana earlier seemed to faint and fell to the floor.Some of the diners looked at her strangely, but she didn't seem to care."Oh, shit. What did I just do?" the woman ruffled her hair, feeling so frustrated.A female waitress approached her and said timidly, "Ms. Agatha, are you alright?"Two male waiters, including the one who served Shane and Charlotte, stood awkwardly with their faces already looking deathly pale.Agatha swatted away the servants' hands and snapped, "It's your fault. Why didn't you tell me that Mr. Shane was here?"The maidservant was immediately frightened while the male servant turned even paler.Exasperated, the woman in the fiery red suit said, "Come to my room right now. All of you!"Agatha got up and pointed with her index finger at the three maids as well as the two other staff who were already trembling in fear.In a fit of rage, Agatha walked to the room on the second fl

Hearing the horrifying accusation, Charlotte immediately widened her eyes, "You can make it like that?"Meanwhile, shocked, Shane said, "Mom, I don't understand how you can think like that."Charles clucked his tongue in defeat at the words of his daughter and son-in-law. Instead, the old man said, "Shane. You are also a man."He stood up from his chair and looked at Shane as if assessing what his son-in-law was thinking. "And that's why I can also tell that you must be thinking of a foul plan to bring another woman into your household. Right?" Charles said with a slight glare.Barbara said again before the couple could argue, "You are, Charlotte. Wives, don't be so stupid and don't obey your husbands too much. Didn't you know you were being cheated on?"Mita was truly shocked by the drama that was usually presented on the television station. Unfortunately, now the drama was happening in front of her eyes and involving her. Oh, the young girl felt like she was on the set. She let o

Charlotte became increasingly uncomfortable and she then said to her husband, "Just a moment, Shane. Let Mita stop by for a moment. Earlier ... she was vomiting. When she's picked up, it's okay to go home." Shane was surprised to hear his wife's words so he asked, "Why did you vomit?""Well, Mita took the bus with me and it turns out she's never taken the bus before. So ... maybe because she was not used to it and was shocked that she vomited," Charlotte explained.Shane gaped and looked at his younger cousin with a shocked gaze. In his gaze, it was as if he was asking, 'Are you taking the bus? Isn't that wrong?'However, Mita casually answered her cousin's gaze by saying, "Look, Shane. I ... feel close to Charlotte and like being friends with her. So, even though I almost couldn't make it on the bus, I still wanted to come here."Then, the young girl again gave a look like a little kitten and said again, "I've been struggling to vomit like this, how come I wasn't given permission t

"Wait a minute, Wina. Why is this going everywhere?" Charlotte replied with irritation.Mita also knew and could sense that her sister-in-law was very annoyed with the person they were talking to.Wina clucked her tongue and responded, "Yes, since you got married, you really rarely go out. You never join our neighborhood activities. Well, if your husband doesn't forbid you, who does?"Charlotte exhaled and tried to be more patient again, "Gosh, Wina. Can you not guess about anything including the reason why I never go out anymore or participate in neighborhood events?"Wina rolled her eyes as if reluctant to listen but Charlotte continued to explain, "Just so you know, I can't participate in neighborhood events around here because I don't have time.""Ih, you're really busy, Charlotte. You've never changed, being the best and feeling better than everyone else," Charlotte said, sounding sarcastic.Mita was quite surprised by the words that so clearly said that Charlotte had always had

As if she had forgotten that she was with Charlotte, Mita focused only on enduring the nausea that began to attack her.Charlotte herself who was watching the girl out of concern immediately took a plastic bag from her pocket."Are you nauseous, Mit?" Charlotte asked in a tone that sounded very worried.Mita swallowed her saliva with difficulty. She seemed to know that she was not well due to the constant shaking that had caused her stomach to churn.So when she heard Charlotte's question, she quickly nodded her head.Charlotte immediately offered a black plastic bag which made Mita even more nauseous. The girl subtly refused the object offered by her sister-in-law.Charlotte understood that and did not take offense. She then looked outside, "It's okay, we're about to arrive. Just hold on!"Mita nodded her head weakly this time because she really could barely hold back her nausea.The girl held her stomach as if commanding her body not to vomit before she reached their destination bus
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 83. A Big Secret
Before Faye could reply to Charlotte, the young woman suddenly heard one of her close friends at the minimarket speak, "Never mind, Faye. When we debate with Charlotte, we lose."Faye clucked her tongue but then she nodded in agreement, "Oh, that's true. It feels like we never win when we argue with her.""Yeah, that's why it's useless so whatever Charlotte and her allies want to say," Abby said, who then pulled Faye's hand away from the area. Mita just shook her head at the behavior of her two coworkers and let out a long breath.The girl commented, "I wonder! They don't like you that much, Sister. How strange!" Charlotte just chuckled in response and instead asked Mita to help her with something else so that they would no longer discuss the matter. The day of preparation for the event held by the big company ended smoothly. Charlotte was quite exhausted when she said goodbye to her coworkers before she left the minimarket. Her husband could not pick her up so she walked alone t
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 82. Feeling the Most Senior?
Cecilia and Percy were silent when they heard Charlotte's words as if they realized that even though they knew Charlotte was laughing at them, they could not argue anymore. Therefore, Charlotte casually said, "Well, I guess we have to excuse ourselves first, Dad, Mom."However, before Charlotte could pull her husband's hand away, he gently said, "Honey, wait a minute. I have something to give to mom and dad."Charles and Barbara looked at each other in confusion but they didn't respond and remained silent. Shane reached into his backpack and pulled out a white envelope and placed it next to his father-in-law's plate. "Dad, this is the money you asked for yesterday," Shane said.Barbara glared in shock, while Charles glanced at the envelope with a surprised look. Cecilia and Percy, meanwhile, only glanced at it. However, Shane didn't wait for his in-laws' reactions and instead got up from his chair. The young man said, "Excuse me, Dad. Charlotte seems to be tired and needs to rest
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 81. You Freak!
"Why should I be ashamed of my profession? Everything I do is halal and without cheating others," Shane said.Charlotte looked at her husband whose calmness was worth two thumbs up. "You freak! Having such a lowly profession, how come you still look proud," Cecilia said, openly insulting her brother-in-law. Shane smiled faintly and responded, "I am of course proud because even though my position is only that of a shoe repairman but ... I never bother others and I am independent."Surprisingly, Shane's words made Percy angry. In fact, Cecilia looked at Shane with an angry glare. "Independent? What can be considered independent? You and Charlotte are still staying at mom and dad's house." Cecilia said with a dismissive look. She then turned to her husband, "Look at me and Percy. We ... can be called independent because we have our own house and ... the house is in both of our names."But after saying that, Cecilia heard Charlotte laugh suddenly. "What the hell? Why are you laughing
Not an Ordinary Shoe Sole Maker 80. Percy's Company
"Why are you asking about Percy's company? You wouldn't know where his company is either," Barbara said in a mocking tone. Charles, who was not looking at Shane, also said, "Yes, even if you were told by Percy about the company where Percy works, you wouldn't know. So, why would you know?"Charlotte, who was beginning to see that her parents were beginning to act unfavorably toward her husband, let out a long sigh.She also looked at Percy and Cecilia who looked proud of themselves. In fact, she now understood why only she and Shane were invited to the event. Her sister Beatrice and her husband were not invited. Actually, she already felt strange when the thanksgiving celebration was held at her parents' house instead of Cecilia and Percy's own house. It turned out that it was because Cecilia and Percy were probably not sure if she and Shane would want to come to their house. The reason is that their purpose in inviting the couple was just to show off and that is now very clear i

"Brother, do you have amnesia or something?" Mita replied in a tone that sounded annoyed. The impatient Shane massaged his temples from dizziness but still responded, "There, hurry up. Tell me what you want, Mita. There's some work I need to get done right away."Mita clucked her tongue, "Oh, you're really busy being a person, Shane.""It's busy, not pretentious," Shane replied, whose patience was already running thin with his younger cousin who was really testing his patience. The young man gritted his teeth and held back his irritation and said, "If you don't speak within five seconds, I'll hang up the phone."Hearing a threat that sounded serious, Mita quickly said, "You know, Shane. How can you just hang up. I want to talk too.""Well, hurry up and don't take too long," Shane said.Shane took a deep breath and had even started smoothing his hair to overcome his irritation. "Shane, there's no way you wouldn't know about our company anniversary, right?" Mita suddenly said in a to
