Charlotte turned around. It was Sharon in a white suit, and she exuded a chilly presence. Her lips curled into a smirk as she stared down at Charlotte.
“Good day, Ms. Blackwood!” Charlotte lowered her head to greet Sharon and was about to leave.
“Get me a cup of coffee,” Sharon ordered pompously. “A black Americano, to be exact!”
“Ms. Blackwood,” Charlotte responded. “I’m working in the filing office now.”
“So what?” Sharon raised an eyebrow and sneered. “I can’t order you around anymore?
“The filing office doesn’t need to serve… “
“Silence!” A roar interrupted Charlotte before she could finish.
At that moment, Lucy was hurrying over to them. “If Ms. Blackwood asked you to get coffee for her, you go get her coffee. What’s with the nonsense?”
Charlotte looked towards Lucy, stumped by the change in her attitude. She was extremely reluctant but lowered her head in the end as she walked to the pantry.
“I want them freshly ground!” Sharon demanded. “I don’t drink instant coffee!”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Blackwood. I’ll personally see to it,” Lucy spoke to her respectfully.
“With you there, Ms. Wright, I can rest assured.” Sharon smiled with satisfaction and waltzed off into the president’s office.
At the pantry, Charlotte started grinding the coffee beans. She was very much confused.
She did not know why Lucy would suddenly have a change of heart like that. Even though Lucy did reprimand her in the past for the greater good, it felt different this time.
“Did you hear us?” Lucy’s voice came from behind.
Charlotte snapped back into reality and replied softly, “It was hard not to. You two were loud.”
“Don’t take too long then. Get it done and bring it to Ms. Blackwood,” Lucy ordered before leaving.
Charlotte looked at Lucy’s leaving silhouette and let out a sigh.
Soon after, Charlotte was holding the cup of coffee that she just made as she knocked on the door to the president’s office.
“Come in!’ Ben instructed.
