Charlotte was still blushing when she walked into the office building. She soon noticed all her colleagues lined up neatly in two rows. They bowed toward her and greeted, “Mr. Nacht!”
She was taken aback and froze on the spot.
It was not until Lily, who stood beside her, kept winking at her that she reacted with hindsight and turned around…
Zachary’s tall and slender figure walked in with rays of sunshine behind him, exuding a commanding presence.
Charlotte hurriedly retreated aside; she bowed her head nervously while holding her breath.
Zachary stared straight ahead and strode forward. As he walked by her, he suddenly stopped and coldly reminded, “Since you’re late for thirty-five seconds, your punishment is to clean the swimming pool!”
“I…” Charlotte wanted to explain but then nodded humbly instead. “Yes, Mr. Nacht!”
Charlotte slowly lifted her head when his steps were farther away and stared angrily at his domineering back. Although he looked like her boyfriend, she loathed him.
I just want to kick him! !!
When Zachary was entering the elevator, he turned around and glanced in her direction…
Her bitter and hateful expression instantly became a fake and respectful smile.
When the elevator door closed slowly, Charlotte sighed in relief…
“Charlotte, Charlotte…”
A voice came and interrupted her thoughts.
Recovering her senses, Charlotte smiled and greeted, “Lily!”
“Are you all right?” Lily tagged her along to ride the elevator. “You don’t look good.”
“No big deal.” Charlotte shook her head. “Maybe I didn’t sleep well last night.”
“No wonder you are so out of it today. You didn’t even realize that you were in Mr. Nacht’s way.” Lily smiled and teased, “Luckily, it was you. Mr. Nacht only punished you for cleaning the swimming pool. If it were someone else, that person would be doomed.”
“Stop kidding…” Charlotte clarified in a low voice, “There’s nothing between Mr. Nacht and me.”
“Impossible. Mr. Nacht hugged you so tightly that day…”
“Impossible, you’re mistaken…”
