Olivia wished she could slap herself in the face.
She took a deep breath. Instantly, her insolent attitude was nowhere to be found and had been replaced by an inferior look. “Ms. Saunders, I’m very sorry. I didn’t know that these two ladies here are your family. Please forgive my ignorance. I didn’t do it on purpose. Silly me...”
“Now that’s a skill that I’d like to learn. You can change your expression at the speed of light in front of my sister,” Fae mocked Olivia in a cold tone before holding Charlotte’s hand.
Then Charlotte instinctively lowered her head to avoid making eye contact with anyone.
I’m so ugly that I startle the people around me.
I shouldn’t have come out. The outside world is intimidating.
But I haven’t seen Ashlyn for so long. Listening to her voice makes me feel warm.
I shouldn’t be so weak that I have to rely on others for warmth and care.
This is too much.
Fae’s mockery caused Olivia to blush in embarrassment.
“Fae, is the girl beside you Charlotte?” Ashlyn averted her gaze from Olivia to the girl standing next to Fae. However, Charlotte kept her head bowed all the time, and her fringe covered her face, so Ashlyn could barely see her appearance.
At that moment, Charlotte wished the ground would swallow her up when she heard Ashlyn mention her name.
Perhaps Ms. Berry will hate this ugly face of mine too. I guess I should get going soon.
“Do you know Lottie?” Fae asked in surprise.
“I’ve been looking for her.” Ashlyn nodded. “But I couldn’t get in touch with her for a long time, so I’m worried about her.”
“Ms. Berry...” Charlotte’s head jerked up. Is she looking for me? Ashlyn’s words stopped Charlotte in her tracks when she was about to escape from here.
When Charlotte raised her head, Ashlyn caught a glimpse of the scars on her face, and her eyes glinted with shock. Immediately, she gave Charlotte a warm smile. “Lottie, it’s you.”
She reached out to hold Charlotte’s hand and said, “Come on, let’s go to the private room.”
Meanwhile, Olivia was gawking at their interactions. She gulped nervously and wanted to follow them, but a security guard blocked her.
“No outsider is allowed in Mrs. Field and Ms. Saunders’ private room.”
