Chapter 40:.
Charlotte lay down on the bed and pulled out her phone to check the time.
It was almost time for Kennedy to go to sleep. She would wait a little longer.
But in the end she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already the next morning.
When she got up, Kennedy was not in bed. She picked up her phone and saw that it was almost time to go to work.
She quickly got out of bed and lay down on the edge of Kennedy’s bed.
Fortunately, the delicate button was still there.
Charlotte reached out and tried to grab the button, but it was too far away. When her fingertips touched it, instead of grabbing the button, she pushed it.
She almost fainted when she saw the button move away from her.
Her position was now so limited that she could no longer reach it.
Charlotte could only reach across to try to grab it, but she was farther away from the other side.
“What are you doing?”

A cold voice was suddenly heard.
Charlotte was scared out of her wits.
It was Kennedy’s voice – wasn’t it time to go to work? How had she suddenly come back? Charlotte froze, for she still didn’t know how to react. What if she stood up and gave herself away?
But the fact that she was standing there motionless made Kennedy suspicious. Kennedy squinted and slid the wheelchair toward her. When she was close, Charlotte reached up and grabbed an earring in her hand.
“I’ve lost my earring here.”
Kennedy looked at her and found a shiny earring in her hand.
“Do you look nervous?”
Charlotte was stifled. “No.”
“No?” Kennedy raised an eyebrow and pulled the wheelchair closer. The powerful male breath slowly approached her, “Why are you looking around and there’s sweat on your forehead?”
Charlotte took a big step back and stepped out of the circle of Kennedy’s powerful aura. “I tried to get a cue put in my ear. It’s so hot. And I’ve been looking for it for a while, so I got sweaty.”
With that, Charlotte turned and headed for the bathroom. She needed to wash up.
The reason she wasn’t worried about being discovered was that Kennedy was in a wheelchair, and if no one helped her, she wouldn’t have had a chance to see what was under the bed, so the button would be safe there.
So she was able to go to work in peace.
Before going to work, Mr. Reynold invited her to the studio and allowed her to meet Gerald Carter to discuss cooperation. He also told her not to tell Kennedy about this matter.
Charlotte did not know what to do when she arrived at the company.
Mr. Reynold and Kennedy had different ideas. It was very difficult for her to be caught in the middle.
She did not dare to disobey Mr. Reynold’s order.
So Charlotte stood there thinking for a while. She got up and went outside. After getting into the cab, she said to the driver, “Hello, this address, please.”
Charlotte told the driver the address of the Carter Group.
After arriving at the Carter Group, Charlotte went straight to the front desk and discovered that she had no appointment.
“I’m sorry, miss, you can’t meet with Mr. Gerald without an appointment, what can I do for you?” The receptionist looked at her suspiciously, fixing her eyes on what she was wearing.
Charlotte blushed as she was watched. She thought about Kennedy’s words from the night before and what had happened the first time she went to the Moore Group.
It looked like she had to change her clothes.
“I’ll be back this afternoon after the appointment.”
With that, Charlotte left the Carter Group. She didn’t ask Kennedy’s permission. These days, Kennedy didn’t need her help. Besides, Mr. Reynold asked her not to tell Kennedy about this, so she said nothing.
So Charlotte went back to her post in secret and sat for a while. She was relieved that nothing had happened.
After calming down, Charlotte called the Carter Group, telling them her purpose and identity, but the other party hung up the phone directly. Charlotte was perplexed and had to call back.
The other party rudely told her, “Miss, if you call back to harass us, don’t blame us for being unkind.”
Then the other party hung up the phone.
Charlotte hung up the phone in frustration.
The other party’s attitude seemed to be harsh. Gerald could have said something to them.
The appointment didn’t work out. She could only tell Mr. Reynold not to work.
As it was getting close to time to leave work, Diana phoned Charlotte to ask her out on a date.
Charlotte accepted.
When Charlotte was at the elevator door, Nathan pushed Kennedy out of the office. At the sight of him, Charlotte looked away, guilty.
She hadn’t been paying attention to him lately, so she must not have known he was out this morning.
“Assistant Wilson.”
Nathan called her Assistant Wilson instead of Miss Wilson, naturally.
Charlotte was grateful to Nathan, after all, he was the one who had sent her the little bed.
Charlotte looked at Nathan and nodded with a slight smile.
The smile was so dazzling that Kennedy’s deep-set eyes became uncomfortable and his eyebrows furrowed.
Nathan had been with Kennedy for many years, so he knew what Kennedy wanted, even if he lifted a finger. Now the breath in his body was a little cold, Nathan reacted immediately.
Lately… Was something wrong with Mr. Kennedy?
The elevator arrived. When Kennedy and Nathan entered, Charlotte didn’t move.
“Assistant Wilson, won’t you come in?” asked Nathan.
Charlotte came to and smiled, “I forgot to turn off the computer. I’ll check it again. You go first.”
Then Charlotte was about to leave, but at that moment Kennedy said, “Come in.”
Charlotte looked at him again. “But Mr. Kennedy, my computer…”
“The computer is off.”
“How do you know?”
“I checked.”
Charlotte, “……”
What else could she say, she could only go inside.
The door slowly closed.
The small elevator filled with Kennedy’s cold aura that Charlotte had nowhere to hide.
“Did you go out this morning?”
A pang gripped Charlotte’s heart.
“No, no.”
Mr. Reynold said he could not be known to Kennedy.
“No?” Kennedy raised his eyebrows and his voice became seemingly fierce.
Charlotte’s eyes jumped.
“You’re not telling the truth?”
“I…I did go out in the morning.”
“Why?”
