After hearing Charlotte’s account, Michael was shocked. “So, it turned out that your mom is Mr. Lindberg’s aunt? I once heard from my father that she used to be a legend in the business sphere.”
“Oh? Mr. Brown knows about my mom?” She was surprised to hear that. “No one told me that my mom was a businesswoman. I thought she wasn’t involved in the family business at all.”
“That’s not possible,” he replied with a look of admiration on his face. “Everyone in the Lindberg family is a business whiz.”
“Danrique hasn’t mentioned it before.” Charlotte’s heart sank at the thought of her cousin.
“Am I right to assume that the legendary Mr. Lindberg is your cousin?” Michael asked. “I’ve heard stories about him. The word is that he has a god-like presence, so I’m sure he’ll return safe and sound.”
“Mm.” Charlotte nodded before changing the topic. “Michael, how have you been for the past two years? Is your company doing well?”
“I’m all right. My business is doing well too,” he replied, smiling. “You know that I have zero interest in business, and I lack confidence in it. However, I had no choice but to try as I couldn’t bear to let the business, which my dad had painstakingly built up, tumble.”
“You’re too humble. Results have already proven that you’re a genius in business,” she joked. “Seems like you’ve inherited the talent of a businessman from your dad.”
Michael laughed heartily. “I’ve been hearing that a lot, but I’ve only taken it as flattery. But coming from you, it makes me really happy.”
“I’m just glad that you’re happy,” Charlotte replied sincerely. “I’m also happy to see that you’re doing so well.”
“Do you have any plans?” he asked, fixing his gentle gaze on the woman. “Are you planning to continue being involved in the corporate world? Or are you intending to lead a peaceful and quiet life?”
“I want to find Danrique first,” Charlotte said with a hint of sorrow in her voice. “I have a feeling he’s still alive…”
