Aidan's bodyguards received Aidan's laptop from Kate and walked toward the parking lot to take off.
As Kate started walking to where Charlotte was, Aidan called her back. Kate rolled her eyes.“What is it again? Hasn't he permitted me? Why is he calling me back?” Kate mumbled before turning around and walking to Aidan.Immediately she gets to him, he warned her. “Never should you by any chance take any drink that will make you tipsy. I don't want what happened the previous time to repeat itself.”“Yes, sir. I won't. That's a promise.” she assured him and Aidan nodded.“Alright, you can go now.”After saying that, Kate nodded and turned around. She began walking away. Again, Aidan called her back.‘What type of frustration is this? If he doesn't want me to go, then he should tell me, rather than turn me around like a dog.’ she grumbled inwardly.Kate turned around and walked up to him.“You called me, sThey got to Liam's father's mansion. The guards opened the car doors for them and they stepped out with smiling faces.“Wow!” Kate gasped after setting eyes on the mansion and everything in the compound. “ Your father is a billionaire and you work with us?”“My father? Nah...he is my uncle and I live with him.” Charlotte responded as she led Kate to the lounge.“Ohh, this mansion is dope. I can't hide that fact.” Kate praised the mansion as she kept scanning around with admiration.“You are welcome to my uncle's house. Feel free because it's your house as well.” Charlotte said to Kate with happiness because her mission was completed.The next thing she should be expecting is her freedom from her ruthless cousin's brother, Liam.“Thank you,” Kate appreciated as they stepped into the lounge.All the house servants who they came in contact with bowed and greeted them.Unfortunately, Liam's two puppets were eating dinner. Immediately they saw Kate, they began smiling as they gazed at her.
Charlotte eagerly waited for Liam's response for what seemed like ages, but he never replied to her text message.She was pacing up and down in Liam's room entrance. Charlotte wouldn't want Kate to go away without Liam seeing her.Her hard work to bring Kate here would be in vain. And she wouldn't let that happen.“This b*tch isn't replying to my text message,” Charlotte complained as she clenched her fist furiously.With anger, she exited that place and went back to the living room to meet Kate. She might have been expecting her.“Hey, Kate,” Charlotte called out with a fake smile plastered on her face as she walked up to them.Kate gazed at her as she watched Charlotte approaching them with continued smiles.“Are you not supposed to change your dress? Why are you still in that dress after the shower?” Kate demanded with her eyes fixed on Charlotte.“Oh, this?” Charlotte muttered and sat on one of the dining chairs close to Kate. “ Well, I was unable to shower,” she responded.“But w
Charlotte stared at the phone for a few minutes as she wondered who was calling her line.It might be Liam who uses a new phone number to call her. Maybe not. Because Charlotte was angry, she decided to ignore the call.“Madam, can we start going home?” her driver inquired after waiting for a long time for Charlotte to ask him to take her home.“Yes,” she nodded.Just after the driver had ignited the car key, another call from the stranger came in.Charlotte rolled her eyes before picking up the call.“Yes, who is this?” her angry voice echoed in the car, thinking that it was Liam.“Hey, this is Felix. Why are you angry? Is anything wrong?” Felix's calm voice echoed from the phone.“Felix?” Charlotte muttered after him. “ Pardon me, who is Felix and where do I know you?” “Gosh!” Felix exhaled. “To save time, I would tell you where you know me from. This is the guy you helped in the morning on your way to the office. The guy your driver almost claimed his life in the early hours of tod
The bodyguards gazed at them in surprise, knowing fully that if their boss gets to know about this friendship, he would hunt the young man.They were to report this to Liam, but it wasn't time yet to do that. If they do that in Charlotte's presence, she would be mad at them.The best thing to do was to hold on for the moment until they are chance to do so to avoid Liam's trouble. Because he won't spare them if he found out that Charlotte was in a relationship, and they failed to inform him.However, Felix gave in to her embrace. They remained in that position for a couple of minutes, as if they won't separate.After waiting for what seemed like ages for Charlotte to let go of him, Felix finally sighed and freed her.Charlotte smiled at him and calmly asked,“ How are you doing?”“Well, I'm fine. I just wanted to have a few words with you, and you also told me to call you, that's why I called,” he responded with a smile.Charlotte nodded and muttered,“ I can see.”“Let's go to the kiosk
Charlotte got to the mansion and found Liam pacing up and down in the lounge with his hands tucked behind.Immediately she set eyes on him, she froze and gazed at Liam. Her hands were shaking as stiffened in her position.Liam suddenly paused after noticing Charlotte's presence. He glared at her as though he wanted to tear her apart.“Where are you coming from, Charlotte?” his angry tone resonated in the room, making her shiver. “I-I…” she startled as she pressed her palms against her thighs with fear written over her face.“Speak out, Charlotte!” he roared. “ Where is she?” he inquired about Kate.“S-she had gone back.” she fearfully announced as she swallowed hard and remained at the entrance without moving an inch.“What!” Liam raised skeptical brows and furiously clenched his fist as he glared at her. “ How dare you take her back when I haven't arrived?” Upon seeing that Liam was getting angrier, she summoned the courage to speak out because he wasn't supposed to blame her.“If
That night, after Charlotte had met her uncle, she went to her room. She entered the bathroom and showered.Charlotte came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her waist after a few minutes of showering. She walked up to the mirror and sat on a chair opposite the mirror, and she watched herself on it.Charlotte smiled at herself because she had found a lover for herself. This feeling was driving her crazy, and she felt she could be with Felix every second.She quickly applied her skin cream and combed her hair, making it fall on her shoulder.Just after she was done combing her hair, she stood up and gestured toward her walk-in closet. Charlotte wore her nightwear and left for her bed. She jumped on it and took her phone to call Felix.With a smile curving her lips, she dialed Felix's contact. And dropped the phone on the pillow as she fixed her gaze on the phone screen.Shortly, Felix picked up the call and his low voice echoed from the phone.“Hey, Charlotte,” he called
“Hey, Kate,” Charlotte called out as she gestured toward Kate after greeting Aidan in unison as they always do.“Hi, Charlotte. Good morning,” Kate greeted and widened her arms as she invited Charlotte for a hug.“My night was spectacular,” Charlotte responded and embraced Kate. “ How was yours? I hope the CEO didn't fight you last night.” she let out.“No, he didn't.” Kate shocked her head and let go of Charlotte. “Great. So, I guess you had a wonderful night then.”“Yeah, I did,” Kate whispered and Charlotte nodded with a smile on her face.“Let's go to the office. I have some good news for you, Kate.” Charlotte conversed with her as she started walking towards one of the elevators that will take them to the floor where Charlotte's office was located.“Wow!” Kate gasped and began following Charlotte. “ Tell me what it is.”“I would tell you, but not here. Let's get to the office first. This is between you and me. I don't want any third party to be involved in this.” Charlotte explai
Felix was able to trace them until they arrived at the hotel. As soon as stopped at the hotel, Felix was dumbfounded. Although his mind was telling him that it was Kate and Aidan that were in the car, he found it hard to believe it.Of course, Felix knew that this was the hotel his sister and her boss stayed at.However, he was having the feeling that Charlotte might be related to Liam, the wicked young billionaire he had seen so far.Felix was lost and confused about what he would do if it turned out to be his sister, as his mind was telling him.He just had to wait patiently and see who would come out of the car the guards had surrounded.Felix and the cab driver stopped from afar as he watched to see who would step out of the car to cure his curiosity. His eyes remained fixed on the car with eagerness. Immediately his eyes fell on Kate, he quivered.It was as if someone was trying to harm him and not Kate because he cared so much more about her than his mother.His mouth was wide
