In the second half of the night, Charlotte did not sleep. She had been waiting.
She had been waiting for Kennedy to come back.
But she had been waiting for vain. Kennedy didn’t come back till 5 o’clock in the morning. She kept her original post in the bed, motionless.
After a while, she sat up from the bed, walked to the wardrobe, took a sleep dress and put it on. And then she returned to her bed on the floor, lied down and feel asleep.
She seemed to have made a decision. She lied down, closed her eyes and soon she fell asleep.
Whatever woman he was looking for was none one her business.
She woke up in the next day, but she only had been in asleep for three hours, and now she felt headache. She covered her head, walked to the bathroom to wash her face and then went downstairs.
At breakfast, Manfred felt her face pale, so he asked with concern, “What is wrong with you? Didn’t you have a sound sleep last night?”
It stunned Charlotte, she shook her head, “I am fine.”
Reynold was not there, so Manfred said.
“I heard that Kennedy went out last night and did not come back until now.”
Charlotte was to drink milk. When she heard this, she froze and the milk almost spit out. She put down the milk and took a piece of sushi.
“Is Kennedy looking for someone?”
Charlotte opened her mouth and the put the sushi in. She felt upset to hear that, and felt the food disgusting in mouth. She did not answer him, but he continued.
“Do you know who he is looking for?”
Charlotte took a sip if milk and shook her head, “I don’t know. I gotta go, Manfred.”
With that, Charlotte walked toward outside. She moved fast as if she was fleeing.
In a while, Manfred caught up with her, “I go to the company too, let me send you.”
“No need.” Without turning her head, she stepped forward.
Her hand was grabbed. She turned in surprise and found Manfred held her wrist, “Charlotte, I take you to the company.”
Charlotte frowned and wanted to shake off his hand, but Manfred held her more tightly, “Wait for me here. Don’t go away, understand?”
Charlotte, “Manfred, I…”
“I go get the car.”
Manfred went to get the car. Charlotte wanted to walk away, but Manfred’s words were cold, so she had to stand still.
In a while, Manfred stopped the car in front of her and asked her to get into the car.
She had to get into the car. When Manfred was to tie the safety belt for her, she said, “I can do it by myself.”
“Let me do it.” Manfred held her hand and had to tie it for her. The male breath covered her. It was easy to tie safety belt, but Manfred deliberately do it slowing and his cool breath was on her face.
