Chapter 31:.
Charlotte felt a little embarrassed because Gerald looked at her with a slight smile. And she always thought about what had happened between Gerald and the young woman in the lobby.
“No, thank you. Mr. Gerald.”
Charlotte politely turned him down.
Gerald demurred, “Do you know me?”
“Well…… the Carter Group is very famous in B-town, so I think everyone knows you.”
Suddenly, Gerald looked at her carefully leaning against the car window, “Are you crying?”.
Charlotte felt surprised by his question, then immediately shook her head,
“No!”
Gerald smiled, “Women will only be loved when they’re effeminate, did you hide behind the tree just now?”
Charlotte’s expression changed, but she did not respond.
Her eyes were red-rimmed and she looked very stubborn. She looked like she didn’t know how to tell a lie.
So she kept quiet because she didn’t know how to lie?
It was interesting.
“I saw Kennedy left you behind. How about you get in my car?” as he spoke, he slowly put his hands on her shoulders.
Charlotte reflexively took a step back to avoid his touch. Gerald failed to grasp her shoulder successfully, and her hands paused in the air for a while. And then, he smiled, “Why do you think so much? I can take you home.”
And then he took a few steps forward, and Charlotte was afraid to keep stepping back.
“There are many young women who want to be with me. Based on your dress and Kennedy’s attitude toward you, I don’t think you’re that important to him. So it’s good that you’re with me.”
No matter what he said, Charlotte wouldn’t let him touch her.
She really knew about Gerald. So, if she thought about his request with a little hesitation, he would take the opportunity to offend her.
“Please think about it. I know you’re different from any other girl.”
After speaking, he took a step forward and held her by the shoulders tightly. Charlotte couldn’t get away from him and was surprised, “Mr. Gerald, please be respectful!”
“Why, Kennedy didn’t care about you, so it’s okay for you to be with me.”
There were many women who wanted to make love to him. However, Charlotte turned him down, so he wanted to have a chance. He wanted to see if she would like him, even though he worked for Kennedy.
Actually, he was comparing himself to Kennedy.
“Let me go!”
Charlotte was so scared she made a face. She pushed his chest away and said, “I think Mr. Gerald always likes debutantes. But I’m just an assistant to Mr. Kennedy. Please let me go.”
Since the Moore Group wanted to cooperate with him, he didn’t dare hit him.
“Really? I think you really know about me. Have you checked me out? Are you interested in me?” said Gerald in a low voice and approached her slowly.
Charlotte glared at him and pushed him away forcefully. But she couldn’t fight him at all. Finally, Gerald became annoyed. He said sternly, “I don’t like anyone to stand up to me. Do you want to think about it again? If so, I could be nicer to you.”
“Mr. Gerald, please be respectful. If you don’t let me go, I’ll do something rude to you.”
Charlotte was very lenient with him, but that didn’t mean she could stand it since he treated her that way.
Gerald looked at her with a smile, “You dare to bother me? Don’t forget that the Moore Group is going to negotiate cooperation for a project with the Carter Group in a few days.”
After hearing that, Charlotte hesitated, “Are you serious? This project is also beneficial to your company.”
“No!” Gerald held her by the shoulders more tightly, “It’s about your benefit. If I refuse to cooperate with the Moore Group and get you in trouble, what will happen? Do you think your company will blame you for it?”
“How can you do that?” Charlotte bit her lower lip, “You are so despicable!”
“Then you can think about having dinner with me.”
“Impossible!”
“If you turn me down, then…”
Suddenly, he was kicked and knelt in front of Charlotte on one knee as he was speaking.
Charlotte covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief.
“Mr. Gerald, why are you kneeling, do you want to beg my assistant to promise to cooperate with your company?”
Someone said coldly, and then Charlotte looked at the man who was speaking.
She discovered that Kennedy had returned. He sat down in the wheelchair and looked at Gerald, who was kneeling on the floor indifferently. Nathan stood behind him and looked at Gerald seriously and angrily.
Why did they come back?
Did they leave a moment ago?
Kennedy scoffed loudly, “But I’m so sorry. Even if you get down on your knees to beg my assistant, the Moore Group doesn’t want to cooperate with the Carter Group either, because you are so despicable.”
What Kennedy said made Gerald feel bad.
Although Kennedy seemed ruthless, everything he did was to protect Charlotte.
At least, he always protected her in front of the others.
He didn’t know why he wanted to cry again.
Over the years, no one had protected her as often as Kennedy.
When Gerald knelt down and was satirized by Kennedy, he was very angry. When he wanted to get up, he found that he was in a lot of pain and could not get up at all.
Gerald did not see who had kicked him. Then he thought it must have been Nathan, because Kennedy was sitting in the wheelchair.
After a long while, Gerald finally got up. He scoffed and wiped the sweat from his forehead: “Mr. Kennedy is really stubborn. As we all know, this project is very important. I don’t think Mr. Reynold will allow him to mess it up.”
Kennedy became annoyed, “Then you can try.”
“How can you beat me up just for a maid? Kennedy, you’ll apologize to me later.”
Gerald glared at him, then climbed limply into the car and drove off.
Only Charlotte, Kennedy and Nathan were left standing there.
Charlotte stood there, thinking about why they had come back.
Nathan pushed Kennedy and walked in the other direction. After a while, he stopped, and then Kennedy asked him a cold question, which made him look like a man from hell.
And then Charlotte quickly followed.
When they got into the car, Charlotte thought she had done something wrong, so she kept her head down.
She felt cold in the car, as if she had been left at the South Pole. No one dared say anything, not even the driver and Nathan, and they tried their best not to make any noise so they wouldn’t be noticed.
“Were you silly, why didn’t you run away?”
Charlotte bit her lower lip and sweat broke out on her forehead, “I…”
“Or did you just want to make love to him in a hotel?”
What?
Charlotte was annoyed and looked at Kennedy with her head raised quickly when she heard what he said. And then she looked into his deep eyes. Kennedy saw that she was biting her lower lip with a pale look, and thought about what she had just seen.
She was hugging Gerald, and they seemed very close.
“Kennedy, you can’t…”
Kennedy held her head and kissed her, not giving her a chance to refuse.
