“Joe, send Lottie over,” Fae quickly instructed. “You're still young. Do your best to get along with the others in the association. If anyone dares to bully you, remember to tell me and Joseph. Understand?”
Charlotte broke into a gentle smile. “No one will bully me.”
Joseph left the ward with her, and soon, they arrived at the underground parking.
As the car headed toward the Piano Association, Charlotte hung her head low throughout the ride, seemingly not in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
Joseph could sense the change in her emotions. “What's wrong? Did Mrs. Taylor bully you? Or did she try to make things difficult for you?”
Since their unsuccessful attempt to ask Andrea to use her connections to save James, she had been mocking and ridiculing Charlotte. She had shown dissatisfaction toward the latter, whether openly or in the dark. Moreover, the people in the Piano Association, being the opportunists they had always been, had always buttered up to Andrea a lot.
She sighed under her breath. Given Joseph's temper, if he finds out, he'll definitely confront Mrs. Taylor and try to stand up for me.
The Taylor family's influence in Jadeborough was deeply-rooted. Recognizing how well the Field family had treated her, Charlotte did not want to implicate them because of her problems.
So, she forced out a smile and responded, “I'm fine. I'm only an insignificant member. I hardly get to see her.”
Charlotte was originally a member of the Lake City Piano Association. A while ago, when she came to Jadeborough, the Lake City Piano Association was preparing to work with Jadeborough Piano Association to host a concert.
Coincidentally, since she was coming to Jadeborough, the president of the Lake City Piano Association decided to entrust her to coordinate with the Jadeborough Piano Association.
She had thus been acting as the go-between for the two parties. Though it was not physically tiring, it was mentally exhausting for her. Almost all of the collaboration proposals and recommendations she submitted were rejected by Andrea.
Soon, they arrived outside the Piano Association. Charlotte got out of the car and waved her hand at Joseph. “Drive safely, Joseph. I'm gonna go in now.”
“Give me a call if you need anything.” Staring at Charlotte's retreating figure, Joseph somehow felt that something was weighing on her mind.
Entering the elevator, Charlotte pressed the thirteenth-floor number, the level where the Piano Association was located.
