“You’ve already asked this so many times.” Charlotte knitted her eyebrows.
“Answer the question,” Zachary demanded.
“No, they’re not.” Charlotte looked away deliberately. She would never allow him to take the kids away from her. After all, she could not let the children live with a temperamental monster like him.
“Good.”
This time, Zachary took it very calmly, snickering as he nodded. Then, he finished the remainder of his drink and told Charlotte, “You can get out now.”
With that, Charlotte immediately stood up and left without the slightest hesitation.
After the door closed behind Charlotte, Zachary raised his head and looked at the door. His lips curled as he sneered.
He was actually glad.
Outside the office, there was nobody there besides Dani at the reception.
The press conference would be starting in about another half an hour, so there was a high chance that the others all headed over to help out.
Meanwhile, Charlotte did not have any appetite, so she opted for a glass of warm milk. However, while she was at the pantry, she accidentally scalded her injured palm on the hot mug. Hence, she retracted her hand subconsciously…
Thump! The mug fell to the ground and shattered.
Looking at those bits and pieces of porcelain made Charlotte feel even more terrible than she already was.
“Are you okay?” She heard a soft and gentle voice and looked up to find Dani, an entry-level Administrative Assistant just like her.
“I grabbed a bun just now as an afternoon snack after lunch. But then I remembered that I was on a diet, so I can’t eat it anymore. It’s a waste, though. Do you want it?” Dani said as she handed Charlotte a bun.
“Thank you.” Charlotte smiled and accepted it from her.
