197 Charlotte’s arrival
Even though he has decided to try to come to terms with the fact that Elena was involved in the events of three years ago, Christian still can’t treat Elena like before. He still kept his distance from the woman who was carrying his baby, a baby whose presence was completely unexpected.
Realizing that his father still wants to teach Elena a lesson, Christian finally gives instructions to his men to keep a secret about the whereabouts of Elena and his baby in the villa. None of them are allowed to discuss about Elena, Christian does not want to take the slightest risk that could threaten the safety of his child.
“Sir...”
Christian who was focusing on several screens of his laptop instantly lifted his face and looked towards the door where Kainer was standing.
“Yes.”
“You have a guest, sir,” Kainer said quietly.
Christian raises one eyebrow. “Guest? Don’t I have a meeting with anyone today, huh?”
“Hi friends! My arrival didn’t bother you, did it?!”
“Charlotte,” Christian murmurs quietly, looking surprised at the sudden appearance of his childhood friend in his office.
.....
Charlotte smiled broadly, after thanking Kainer, Charlotte rushed into Christian’s study gracefully.
“I’m not bothering you, am I?” asked Charlotte again when she sat down in front of Christian, even though Christian had not yet invited the daughter of the former UN secretary general to sit down. His mother’s closeness to Chester Lloyd decades ago made Christian finally befriend Charlotte, a beautiful blue-eyed girl who speaks more than seven languages.
Christian smiles. “Actually I still haven’t finished work, there are still some things I need to take care of. If you don’t mind can I finish my work first?”
Charlotte’s face immediately changed. “I..I’m disturbing, huh?”
“No, not at all bothersome,” Christian replies quickly. “Besides, you’ve come all this way, there’s no way I’d let a girl as beautiful as you go without being greeted properly. Where would you like to put my face if that were to happen?”
Charlotte chuckled. “You sweet-mouthed don Juan, okay I’ll wait for you to finish work. I’ll just wait on the sofa, okay.”
“Sure.”
Charlotte immediately got up from her chair and moved to sit on the sofa which was not far from Christian’s desk. After Charlotte sat down, Christian then ordered Kainer to ask to provide drinks and snacks for Charlotte. Not long after, an office girl came into Christian’s room with a tray of food and drinks for Charlotte. Since Kainer had also known Charlotte for quite some time, she knew the girl’s taste. That’s why the office girl can bring food and drinks that Charlotte likes.
Feeling that Charlotte has been served well, Christian then returns his attention to a few files that must be checked before being handed over to cloth to be passed on to several business partners. Even though she was eating strawberries, Charlotte glanced at Christian several times. The girl who has been single for almost six months after breaking up with a top formula one racer a few months ago looks to give Christian a different look, since her reunion with Christian two weeks ago in New York, Charlotte’s desire to be closer to Christian became the greater it is.
After twenty minutes, Christian finally closes his laptop and gives the files he’s been working on to Kainer to give to the people who have been ordered to deliver the important documents to the five offices of Clarke Enterprise’s business partners, some of which are overseas.
“Ok, I’m done,” Christian says quietly. “So when did you arrive?”
Charlotte doesn’t immediately answer Christian’s words, instead she pats the empty side of the sofa next to her. Codes Christian to sit down. Understanding the non-verbal code that Charlotte had just given, Christian finally sat on a different sofa from the one Charlotte was sitting on.
“You still haven’t changed, you’re still the same as before. That sucks!” said Charlotte curtly, commenting on what Christian had just done.
Christian frowns. “It hasn’t changed? What do I have to change?”
Charlotte waved her hand in the air. “Never mind, let’s not talk about it anymore. It doesn’t matter.”
Christian chuckles. “You’re just like my sister, love to get angry over trivial matters.”
“That’s because we are both women and that woman on average has almost the same attitude and habits, that’s why I can be similar to Suri,” replied Charlotte quickly. “Oh yeah, how is Suri condition? I haven’t seen her for a long time, I haven’t communicated with her in almost four years.”
Charlotte’s last words were not heard by Christian who was already thinking about Elena, the words Charlotte mentioned earlier regarding almost the same attitude and behavior of women made Christian think of Elena whom he had not visited in two weeks. Elena that Christian knows is very different from other girls out there, her work ethic and demeanor are very different from other girls her age out there.
Meanwhile, Charlotte, who was not aware that Christian was thinking about another woman, continued to speak. Charlotte, who has been Christian’s friend since they were little, doesn’t keep her attitude in front of Christian at all.
“And you guys look exactly the same, both annoying and like ignoring people,” Charlotte chirped softly as she vented her frustration on Suri who had ignored her messages for the past few years.
Charlotte, who doesn’t know what happened to Suri, thinks that Suri is deliberately ignoring her messages. That’s why at this time Charlotte is expressing her disappointment to Christian, but because Christian just kept quiet and didn’t respond to any of her words, Charlotte finally realized that Christian was not listening to her words.
Charlotte then snaps her fingers several times in front of Christian, trying to bring the dreamy man back to consciousness.
“Are you daydreaming, Christ?” Charlotte said quietly when she had managed to bring Christian back to his senses. “What are you thinking about?”
“N..no, how can I daydream. I’m just remembering the work I just finished earlier, I’m afraid if there’s still something left behind,” Christian replied lying, he couldn’t possibly tell Charlotte about Elena. Christian doesn’t want things to get more complicated the more people find out about the problem, Christian just once told Charlotte about the woman he was close to.
