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."

    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

    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?

    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
