“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
Upon hearing Felix's tone, Charlotte became silent and dumbfounded. This notified her that something was wrong somewhere.“Hmm… Yeah. You seem to be terrified upon hearing his name. What's wrong?” Charlotte curiously asked, but Felix didn't reply to her.They were silent for what seemed like ages as both of them waited for the other person to speak.Felix was still in disbelief about how this came about. He never knew that Liam had a cousin's sister because since he lived in Mr. Sebastian's mansion for months, he never, for once, saw Charlotte.So, how can she claim to be Liam's cousin's sister? Even though he was always locked inside, she should have seen her at least once, if not all the time. Maybe, she doesn't stay in the mansion.The shocking thing was how Charlotte and his elder sister are working in the same company.This is nothing but fate that clips them in this way. But then this was a crucial issue for Felix, and he needed to deal with it.He now knows that he wasn't safe
After arriving at the Billstone Hotel, Felix secretly checked the parking lot where Liam's car was always parked.Well, it wasn't a surprise that his cars were accurately parked in the reserved parking space as usual.Upon seeing Liam's cars, anger took over Felix. He furiously clenched his fist as he hid in a dark spot to avoid the hotel lights being shunned on him.Felix remained there for a few minutes to avoid being recognized by anyone. Just after he could see only a few people moving around, he went out of his hiding place.Unfortunately, he didn't fail to get a hat for himself to cover his face. He lowered his head as he walked into the hotel. The security man at the entrance never bothered to question him, even though he appeared suspicious.Moreover, the man standing at the entrance was looking exhausted, as though he wasn't a trained security man. For this reason, he was too lazy to stop Felix.Upon getting to the elevators, Felix entered one of them, and it took him to flo
In the office, Charlotte was pacing up and down with her hands tucked behind her with an angry face.She was unsettled, and she couldn't tell how she felt at the moment. “I just hate disappointment. This b*tch had the guts to switch off his phone without sending the…” Charlotte's words hung in her throat after the office door suddenly opened.Immediately Charlotte set eyes on Kate, she plastered a fake smile on her face, as though she weren't angry earlier.But even at that, Kate still noticed her angry face, even though Charlotte tried harder to hide it from her.“Hey, Kate. Are you done with the short meeting the CEO called you for?” she nervously asked as she tried to maintain a smiling face, even though it was tough to do so.However, Kate didn't hesitate to show Charlotte that she noticed her sad face. Her gaze was fixed on Charlotte's face.“Why do you look sad, Charlotte?” Kate asked suspiciously, even though she was already aware of what they were told about Charlotte last nig
Charlotte's guilty conscience took control over her as Aidan stood an inch away from her with gritted teeth.She waited for him to speak out as her eyes were already shut, but only silence followed. Aidan didn't say a word, rather than staring intensely at her.After waiting for a long time and without hearing a word from Aidan, she slowly raised her head to see if Aidan was still standing before her.Unfortunately, she discovered that he was still standing before her after setting eyes on his legs, but she was still curious to see his entire body to be convinced.Immediately she had eye contact, she quickly fell on her knees and surrendered.“Forgive me, please. I never meant to do it. It was my cousin's brother who threatened to kill me if I didn't do it. Have mercy on me, please.” she pleaded as tears flowed down her cheeks.“What are you talking about, Charlotte? What have you done wrong to warrant this?” Aidan asked as he lowered his gaze to her.Charlotte was lost by his questio
Charlotte shoved off the thought and displayed a fake smile as she eagerly waited for Aidan to narrate the short story.After a few seconds, Aidan started. “ There was a certain time a lady went shopping alone. Along the way, she met another lady who was also shopping alone, while everyone else in the supermarket was with a partner.This lady decided to approach the second lady and asked her if they could be friends since both of them had no partners to gist with while shopping. The second lady accepted with pleasure.After shopping, the two ladies left the supermarket. On getting outside, the second lady discovered that the first lady who approached her had already planned an ambush against her.” Charlotte was lost as to why this story had to do with the surprise Aidan had for her. This made Charlotte unsettled and anxious to know how the short story is related to the surprise the CEO has for her.“Unknowingly by the first lady, the second lady's uncle was an army and he was close by
Despite being forgiven and comforted by Aidan, Charlotte found it hard to forgive herself because she was still feeling guilty.As soon as she entered the car that would drive her home, she burst into heavy tears, and her bodyguards had to ask what happened.Out of anger, she yelled at them to let her be. They obeyed and quietly drove her home as she continued weeping inside the car.She wasn't only crying because of what happened between her and Kate, but she was also convinced that she would never see Felix again.It would be hard for Felix to come back to her. The reason is that Felix was scared that Charlotte might harm him one day, considering that she was already aiming to harm his elder sister.He had already labeled her as an evil lady. Again, her cousin's brother was also hunting him, and he wouldn't want to fall into his hands the second time.Therefore, Felix found it the best option to stay away from Charlotte.<
