Charlotte was in grievance and followed Kennedy into the conference room.
Manfred was there too. When he made eye contact with Charlotte, he showed her a gentle and friendly smile. Although Charlotte was in a bad mood, facing such as smile, she felt much better and smiled at him too.
The small interaction was caught by Kennedy.
Therefore, his breath became colder.
Zain and Megan had arrived, who was picked up by vice president, Manfred, so when Charlotte saw Manfred, she had seen Zain and Megan sitting next to him.
As yesterday, Zain sat there coldly, as if he could not see anyone around.
He lowered his eyes, reading the materials. Until Charlotte came in, he noticed and raised his eyes to look toward Charlotte and nodded to her.
Charlotte, too, nodded to him and then to Megan.
Kennedy’s breath was with anger right this moment.
What a popular woman.
Wherever she was, people would greet with her. She must be proud.
After sitting down, Kennedy used his fingers to tug the table, “Coffee.”
Charlotte nodded, “I will get it.”
With that, she walked out. She had prepared the coffee for all the people in the conference room, with no one to help her. And it seemed to be a tough mission.
When she served the coffee, the meeting began. Someone was presenting in the conference room. She could not make a sound, so she put the coffee to the front of the directors and mangers lightly.
Seeing that she seemed to have difficulty, Manfred came to help her to hold the plate. Charlotte gave him a thankful look and then served a cup of coffee to Zain.
Zain found she had fair long fingers as good as jade.
In his memory, her mother had hands as the same as hers. She turned the book page by page to read various stories for him.
And she would use her hand to touch his head and said to him in a soft voice.
“Zain, if you found your sister, you must be good to her.”
After his mother died, Zain had take finding his sister as a goal of life.
Two years ago, he finally found his missing sister, but… he still felt empty in heart, feeling that he had not completed his mother’s expectation.
And the appearance of Charlotte manified his shortage in heart.
He felt Charlotte overlapped the person in his heard from time to time, posing him an illusion.
She was his sister he had been looking for.
After the meeting, he would ask Megan to check Charlotte’s identity.
Megan looked at Charlotte in surprise. She did not expect that Charlotte would have to do this much works. Seeing the indifferent look of Kennedy sitting in the main seat, Megan thought of what had happened in the restaurant yesterday.
She thought: man is a heartless creature.
When Charlotte served the coffee for the second time, Manfred could not stand it and was to help her. Zain gave a look to Megan.
Megan had worked for him for years, so she understood what his look meant. Before Manfred came to help Charlotte, she helped Charlotte hold the coffee plate and said in a low voice, “Let me help you.”
Charlotte looked at her in surprise, “Thank you.”
