Charlotte was stunned but allowed Kennedy to bury his head in her neck, feeling that his chin leaning on her shoulder. She thought he would do something, but he had been quietly lying there.
It confused Charlotte, because Kennedy suddenly looked sad and she sensed that.
Sad?
There was a moment Charlotte thought that she had made a mistake.
How could Kennedy be sad?
“What’s the matter with you?” Charlotte asked with doubt. Did her thing remind him of something?
Seeing that Kennedy had no move but still quietly lied there, Charlotte tried to move. He held her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move, let me hug you for a while.”
His voice was deep with sadness.
Charlotte was stunned and felt a burst of stomp in her heart. So she was right that he was sad?
Then she was motionless and allowed him to stay there. She raised her hand and rest on the back of Kennedy.
As she touched his back, she felt his back quivered but he did not move.
They sat there quietly. Kennedy had been leaning on her shoulder, then his breath became steady.
Charlotte, “??”
Was he asleep? She secretly lowered her head to take a look at him and found that he had black circles under his eyes. It seemed that he recently did not have a sound sleep.
Therefore, Charlotte dared not move and allowed him to be in asleep.
A long while later, the office’s door was suddenly opened. Nathan and Manfred walked in together. Seeing that, the two people did not say a word. Nathan looked at that with his eyes widened in disbelief, pointing at her.
“Mrs. Moore, what is going on...”
“SHH.” Charlotte put her finger onto her lips, indicating Nathan to hush.
Nathan had to shut up. Charlotte took a breath of relief. And then she noticed a pair of burning eyes fell on her face. Only then she found Manfred was with Nathan.
He stared at them and then he fixed his eyes on Charlotte. There was anger revealing on his gentle face.
Nathan coughed, “Since you are busy, we will go out first.”
Manfred stood motionless and said in a cold voice, “I have something important to talk to Kennedy.”
Nathan, “...Mr. Manfred, but...”
“It is the office hours, what are you doing?” Manfred said unpleasantly. His was not big or small, but it reached to every corner of the office.
Nathan, “Mr. Manfred, this is Mr. Kennedy’s office, he can do whatever he wants.”
“Although this is his office, it is the company of the Moore family!”
He became angry suddenly, which surprised Charlotte. Stupefied, she looked at Manfred. He was gentle in usual time, why did he was angry today?
She swallowed unconsciously. Before she had said a word, Kennedy moved and said, leaning on her shoulder.
“Mr. Manfred, you are mad, did you got provoked?”
