Cognizant that Danrique was upset, Robert changed his tact. “Danrique, don’t misunderstand. I did not intend to threaten at all. I just want to convey that Donald’s daughter likes Louis very much and has pursued him for years.
Of course, Louis doesn’t like her and we don’t intend to collaborate with Donald. There’s no way I would consider his proposal as he is nothing compared to you. It’s just that I am desperate for an answer from Charlotte and hope that she doesn’t continue to string us along.”
“You have a point.” Danrique frowned at Charlotte. “Regardless of whether you agree or not, you owe them an answer. So stop dragging your feet!”
“I…” Just when Charlotte was about to reply, an anxious knock was heard on the door.
As the servant by the door opened it, Lupine’s voice rang out. “Ms. Lindberg, we have a problem. Ms. Elisa has thrown up again.”
“What?” Turning pale, Charlotte dashed out.
“Charlotte, calm down. I brought a doctor with me.” Louis followed her out.
“It seems we won’t be getting an answer tonight,” Danrique remarked cordially. “Sir Robert, you must be tired from your long journey. Why don’t you retire to the guest room first? In the meantime, I’ll make sure Charlotte gives you an answer within three days.”
“All right then.” Robert frowned. Despite the displeasure in his eyes, he didn’t dare complain.
“Take Sir Robert to his room.”
“Yes.”
By the time Charlotte rushed out, she saw Ellie lying on the sofa. She was puking into the garbage can non-stop while her face had lost all color.
Robbie was beside her, patting her back to comfort her.
At the same time, a few female subordinates were standing by the side, not knowing what to do.
“Ellie!” Charlotte quickly picked her up. “What’s going on? Weren’t you doing fine a while ago?”
“Perhaps she is suffering from jet lag and isn’t used to the place yet,” Louis comforted. “Don’t worry, I’ll get my doctor to give her a check-up immediately.”
“It’s fine. I brought Dr. Felch with me.” Charlotte picked up Ellie and headed out at once. “Let’s go back and see Dr. Felch.”
“Right away.” Lupine arranged for their ride at once.
Just as they hurriedly left, Louis was about to follow until Robert called out to him, “Stop!”
