Chapter 194:
“Manfred …
Charlotte was so scared that she backed up a few steps to avoid the touch of Manfred’s hands, “What… what are you talking about?”.
Manfred did not avoid her eyes, but stared at her. Suddenly he flashed a wry smile, “You’re smart, you understand what I’m talking about.” Charlotte’s face was pale with fear.
Was he trying to steal her brother’s wife?
Charlotte was in a state of confusion. She shook her head and stepped back, but Manfred grabbed her by the shoulder. “You saw that he didn’t care about you last night. I care about you and I don’t want you to suffer anymore.”
“Let me go!” Charlotte’s lips trembled and she struggled hard. “Even if Kennedy doesn’t care, it’s none of your business. You’re her big brother.”
“Because I am her brother, I’ve put up with it for a long time!” Manfred’s tone grew serious. He narrowed his eyes and his breath suddenly turned ice cold, “If it wasn’t for the sake of the family, for what he did to you, I would have done something.” Charlotte stiffened, staring into his eyes in disbelief.
What was going on, did Manfred like her? Or because she was leading a miserable life, did he find her pitiful?
“I don’t want you to get hurt anymore, do you understand?”
“No!” Charlotte seemed to think of something important and suddenly pushed Manfred away. “It can’t be like this. You’re Manfred’s brother, so you’re my brother. There’s no chance between us. I’ve come to tell you that I’m fine in my apartment and that I’m not going to accept the transfer.”
With that, Charlotte turned and ran out of the office directly.
Georgia was waiting outside. Suddenly, Charlotte came running out and almost collided with her. Charlotte apologized and ran away. Confused, Georgia looked at Manfred in the office.
“Mr. Manfred, what…what’s wrong with you?”
Manfred looked at Charlotte’s figure, lowering his gaze and flashing a wry smile.
“Perhaps I have frightened her.”
“Mr. Manfred…”
“Get on with your work. If she doesn’t show up later, go to her apartment and pick her up.”
Georgia, “……” Damn it!
I had to pick Charlotte up in person. It looked like Manfred had feelings for this girl. Georgia slowly figured it out.
Charlotte went and came back, many people in the department were confused.
“Why are you back, shouldn’t you be a secretary?”
“Yes, why did you come back?”
Charlotte was not close to them and had no plans to befriend them.
After all, these people didn’t intervene when Ivy and Mandy harassed her.
So she shook her head and sat down without another word.
“Oh, I heard that in addition to firing the supervisor, they also fired Ivy and Mandy, what happened? Charlotte, they always bullied you. They got fired and you got transferred, does this have anything to do with you?”
“Yes, Charlotte, if you know something, tell us, we’re very curious.”
“Tell us.”
Charlotte had been annoyed, and on being questioned, she became more irritated and said.
She suddenly lost her temper. The others didn’t know why she had lost her temper so suddenly, then one of them snorted.
“What, we just asked you a question, if you don’t want to answer it, you can choose to shut up. why are you behaving like this?”
“Who does he think he is? You’ve gotten a promotion and you’ve taken to criticizing others. How arrogant she is. She’s been demoted anyway! She might even be fired later!”
“Yes, she was Mr. Kennedy’s assistant. And now, even if she gets promoted, she’s only Mr. Manfred’s secretary, who does she think she is?”
Hearing these comments, Charlotte could only grimace and sat down to continue her work.
Ivy, Mandy and Arthur were dismissed.
She didn’t know if Manfred had done that or if Kennedy had done that.
Thinking about these two people gave Charlotte a headache.
She hadn’t expected Manfred to say those things to her one day. She had always had so many things to do, and now he?
Charlotte spent the day in chaos.
Until, at noon, when Charlotte came out of the apartment, she saw Yanis. Yanis walked over to hold her arm as soon as he saw Charlotte.
“I thought you weren’t going to work today.”
With that, Yanis looked her up and down, “Can you stand up now?”.
Charlotte, “…Why not?”
“Last night… Weren’t you supposed to have a wild night with Mr. Kennedy?”
Charlotte was speechless. “What are you thinking?”
“Last night you were drugged. In the face of a woman like you, how can he….. ” Yanis suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, which caught the attention of the others.
“Is Mr. Kennedy really impotent?”
Charlotte’s face changed and she quickly put her hand over Yanis’ mouth.
“Stop that!”
Yanis blinked, shook her head and then Charlotte released her, “Don’t ask about that. It has nothing to do with Kennedy. Let’s eat first.”
With that, Charlotte moved forward, and Yanis quickly caught up with her.
“I can’t, I need to know. Answer me honestly, why are you Mr. Kennedy’s wife? I had no idea.”
Yanis spent an evening thinking about it.
At the mention of this, Charlotte felt a headache. Yanis always had a way of asking her, she said, “I’m confused too. And it’s a long story, I…”
“Then make it short!” Yanis patted the table, “Wait here and organize your words. I’ll help you with the food and you tell me about it when I get back.”
Before Charlotte could turn her down, Yanis stood up and ran out. Looking at his hurried figure, Charlotte felt helpless, this girl was really straightforward.
But she had to thank him. Last night she called Kennedy. She was supposed to have gone to Kennedy for help after discovering she had disappeared.
If Kennedy hadn’t shown up in time last night, she might have been saved by Manfred. That way, it would be hard to explain.
