Chapter 145:
“Since when are subordinates allowed to negotiate with their superiors?” Kennedy was impatient.
Charlotte clutched her bag tightly and said, grinding her teeth: “Even if I worked overtime, I couldn’t finish sorting through those materials. Can I take them home?” She backed down.
“No.”
Kennedy didn’t budge in his stance, however.
What could Charlotte say? She thought she could meet with Diana tomorrow.
Thinking about this, she said nothing, but walked to her post.
She could work overtime, and she didn’t need to convince anyone.
Charlotte sat back down at her post, and Nathan pushed Kennedy away.
As he left, Charlotte pulled out her phone to text Diana, telling her that she might not be leaving today and that they could meet the other day.
Two minutes after texting, Diana called her.
“What’s up? We had an appointment today-why change all of a sudden?” Diana’s voice sounded anxious and uncomfortable.
She made up her mind to tell Charlotte the answer, afraid that after today she might not be able to tell the truth, but she didn’t expect Charlotte not to come.
So Diana suddenly panicked.
She wondered if Charlotte was up to something.
Looking at the mountains of documents in front of her, Charlotte felt a little headache. “I’m sorry, Diana, I don’t mean to stand you up, but I just have something to do today and I can’t keep the appointment.”
Diana, “How about tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow, we’ll see.”
“What the hell are you so busy with?”
Charlotte, “I have to stay and work overtime at the company.”
There was silence on the other end and then she said, “Are you alone?”
Charlotte looked around and nodded, “Yes.”
“I’ll go get you dinner, what do you want?”
Hearing this, Charlotte’s heart warmed, “I’m not fussy, but if you come, will it waste your time?”
“Never mind. Wait for me, I’ll be there in an hour.”
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte looked at Diana’s picture.
Her best friend, Diana.
She was so good to her, how could she be the kind of person Yanis said?
No way.
Charlotte put the phone away and went to work.
Then the elevator suddenly opened. Diana, who was carrying two boxes of food, appeared in the hallway, shouting, “Oh, what a pain in the ass he is. Charlotte, hurry up and help me.” Hearing that, Charlotte realized that an hour had passed.
She quickly got up to pick Diana up and took the bag in her hands.
Diana followed her to the table, looking at the mountains of materials. There wasn’t even room to place the box of food on the table.
“Damn it, what’s going on, why are there so many materials?”
Charlotte darkened her eyes and said in a soft voice, “Okay, I’ll tidy up and then there will be room to place the box, give me ten minutes.”
As Charlotte ordered, Diana looked around and unconsciously glanced in the direction of the office. She asked, “Is Mr. Kennedy working overtime?”
“No.” Charlotte shook her head, “I’m probably the only one working overtime in the entire company.”
Diana’s eyes widened, “Why, are you the only one working overtime in the whole company? Are you going to keep the business going all by yourself?”
“It has nothing to do with that. I haven’t finished the job on my own.”
“With so much work, you won’t be able to finish it in three days.” Diana complained angrily, “your company is too inhuman to you.”
Charlotte had put things away, took a seat next to Diana and then opened the box.
“Do you like the vegetarian food in this store? I took two boxes and drove there for twenty minutes to get them.”
“Thank you, Diana.”
“You’re welcome, we’re friends.”
After the two people picked up chopsticks to eat for a while, Diana suddenly asked, “You didn’t tell me why the company let you work overtime alone? What’s wrong?” Charlotte had no secrets from Diana.
So she told Diana the truth.
After listening, Diana’s expression changed slightly.
“You mean he got angry about the photos and gave you all this work on purpose?”.
Charlotte smiled and whispered, “Who knows? Maybe it’s because he doesn’t like me.”
Charlotte suddenly sighed, “Diana, who do you think set me up treacherously and took those pictures of me?”
Diana turned pale and her heart was pounding. She covered her nervousness, ducked her head and replied, “I don’t know.”
She picked up a piece of meat and dropped the chopsticks, probably out of nervousness.
Diana’s face changed greatly. When she bent down to pick them up, she accidentally knocked over the chair.
Charlotte, “…Diana, what’s wrong with you?”
Diana lowered her head to pick up the chopsticks, but couldn’t help but close her eyes to cheer herself up.
Let’s not panic.
“Nothing…” Diana flashed a sheepish smile. She stood up and wanted to use that pair of chopsticks to pick up the food.
Charlotte frowned and took the chopsticks, “They’re already dirty, you can’t use them. I’m going to wash them for you.”
Then she took the chopsticks and went to wash up.
When she left, Diana touched her chest, her face looked pale and terrible.
He hadn’t expected her to put on such a charade in front of Charlotte.
After Charlotte was gone for a while, Diana pulled herself together.
“Charlotte, I haven’t had lunch today and I’ve been driving a lot, so I’m hungry and my hands are shaking. Thanks for that.”
Hearing that, Charlotte was stunned and looked at her, touched.
“Diana, you’re so good to me.”
Diana smiled, “Yes, you only have me as a friend, and I only have you as a friend, so I’m sure I’m good to you.”
When they sat down, Diana didn’t want to eat, but asked quietly, “Charlotte, so you and Mr. Kennedy have been arguing over these photos? Is your relationship that bad? Or is it because of the photos?”
Charlotte looked silently at the food in front of her. In fact, she didn’t know if the relationship had been peaceful for a while. It seemed like they had been peaceful and harmonious for a while since they had sex because of the drug.
But that kind of peace and harmony for Charlotte was kind of humiliating.
She couldn’t think of anything good for a man who hated her to have sex with her.
“Probably.” She nodded.
Diana’s eyes grew bright.
It seemed like a good idea to separate them with pictures .
