Chapter 110
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
During lunch, Charlotte was still wondering whether Zachary and Gigolo In Debt were actually the same person.
If he was, why is he doing this sort of role play with me? He even promised to pick me up. Wouldnât that just expose himself? But if heâs not, why do the look so similar? Borderline identical!
While she was deep in thought, a soft voice suddenly startled her. âI heard that youâve been transferred to Level 68, Charlotte. Congratulations.â
âThank you.â Charlotte looked up. It was Yolanda.
Charlotte recalled the incident where Wesley attacked her. Even though she could not find anything, something still felt really off with Yolanda.
It had been quite a while since it happened so Charlotte could not recall the details, but seeing Yolanda still made her weary.
âReally sorry about last time.â Yolanda sat opposite of Charlotte with her food tray and said with an apologetic tone. âWhen Mr. Holt attacked you, I really wanted to rush to the rescue, but I froze up in fear!
Iâm so useless!â
âDonât say that. Itâs okay,â Charlotte comforted.
âAs long you forgive me. Weâre still friends right?â Yolanda asked.
âOf course.â Charlotte nodded in response. From an objective standpoint, Yolanda was totally in the clear. All Charlotte had was a gut feeling, and she did not want to label Yolanda with baseless accusations.
âGreat!â Yolanda smiled. âI got took two cups of fruit juice by the way. Have one!â She handed the cup to Charlotte, and even placed a straw for her.
âThanks.â Charlotte saw that Yolanda had a cup as well so she did not think too much about it. She took a few sips and continued with her meal, not noticing the flash of contempt from Yolandaâs gaze.
For the whole afternoon, Charlotte was occupied with work. After what happened with Mr. Sterk, Melody was laid off.
Lucy had replaced her as the new executive secretary, so they had to redistribute the workload in the afternoon.
Charlotte was diligently learning everything she could in order to get accustomed to her work as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work so she sorted out her things and got ready.
For some reason, Charlotte felt really hot and thirsty the whole afternoon so she drank a lot of water. She kept going to the pantry for more.
In the elevator, a few past colleagues walked in when it stopped at the thirteenth floor. They all congratulated Charlotte on her promotion to Level 68.
She thanked them with a smile. No one besides Yolanda looked me in the eyes back when I was demoted to the security department. Now weâre suddenly friends again? How realistic.
While she was in her head, Charlotteâs phone suddenly rang and she immediately picked it up. âHi, are you here?â
âIâm just around the corner.â
âIâm in the elevator right now.â Charlotte wanted to show off her relationship to the colleagues present, so she used a cute voice. âBe careful while youâre driving, okay? Iâll be right there.â
âOkay.â
After the phone call, the female colleagues immediately surrounded her. âCharlotte, whoâs that?
Boyfriend?â
âYeah, his coming to pick me up,â Charlotte said in a bashful manner.
âOh! Then we definitely have to take a look. With your looks, the man must definitely be rich and handsome!â The females started gossiping.
Yolanda looked profoundly at Charlotte in the corner. âCharlotte, since when did you get a boyfriend?â
she asked all of a sudden.
âQuite a while ago,â Charlotte replied cheerily.
âYou should treat everyone then! You all agree?â Yolanda teased.
âYeah! You should!â A few of them chimed in. âLast time, Sydneyâs boyfriend got everyone a bunch of good food.â
âMy boyfriend got everyone chocolate too!â
âHahaha, Charlotte. Thereâs no escaping this!â
