Cooper had a strong sense of crisis after watching what had happened on Florence’s press conference and learning the wide-spreading news about Florence and Ernest’s romantic affairs, their date and engagement.
It was just a fake engagement, but now it was known by everyone and they were even making preparations for their wedding.
Could it be that Ernest and Florence would have a fake marriage?
Cooper couldn’t accept it even if he knew that it was fake.
Therefore, he could not be patient any longer. He found out Ernest’s domicile and came to visit Florence in person.
“It may be inconvenient for my sister to come to see you now. How about this? Let me bring you over and I will ask my sister to go out.”
Charlotte said politely with a smile and pretended like she was in a dilemma.
Cooper felt more upset when seeing her reaction.
It was inconvenient for Florence to meet him because she was worried that Ernest would misunderstand their relationship.
He couldn’t figure out the relationship between Florence and Ernest and he didn’t know whether Florence was happy when living together with Ernest.
Charlotte took Cooper to the villa and asked him to wait outside. She then walked into the villa.
When she entered the villa, she happed to see Florence who was about to go upstairs with a cup of coffee at hand.
“Sister, what are you doing?”
Florence stooped and replied, “Send a cup of coffee to Ernest.”
Florence complained inwardly that she had become more proficient in serving people. If it went on like this, she would be accustomed to it. Alas.
Charlotte walked towards Florence, “But someone is for you outside. It seems that he has something important.”
Florence was confused, “Who’s that?”
Few people knew where she was living recently? Who would come to find her?
“Cooper. We met him in the mall last time.”
“Cooper? Why don’t you ask him to come in? Don’t let him wait outside.”
A touch of scheming flashed across Charlotte’s eyes as she deliberately stole a glance at the study.
“I’m afraid that Ernest would not like it.”
It was hard to get along with Ernest and few people can approach him. Cooper was not his acquaintance, so if he entered Ernest’s villa casually, it might anger him.
Florence pondered and then nodded her head, “Then I’ll go out to find him.”
When speaking, she walked towards upstairs with the coffee.
Charlotte hurriedly stopped her, “Sister, just go find him. I will send the coffee to Ernest.”
Florence hesitated for a while. When thinking that it was just a cup of coffee and that Ernest would not be annoyed no matter who was about to send it to him, she handed the cup of coffee to Charlotte and then headed towards the door.
Charlotte took the coffee from Florence and felt quite joyful as if it was a treasure.
During these days, as Florence had been staying with Ernest all the time, she didn’t even have the chance to serve Ernest a cup of tea. Now, she finally got the opportunity to come to his study and get along with him alone for a while.
With such a pleasant thought in mind, Charlotte went upstairs.
“Knock, knock, knock.” She knocked on the door gently and rhythmically.
It was as the same as the rhythm when Florence was knocking the door. Thinking that it was Florence, a touch of smile flashed across Ernest’s eyes.
He said in a low voice, “Come in.”
When the door was opened, he saw Charlotte who was holding a cup of coffee.
The smile in his eyes suddenly turned into coldness. Ernest’s gaze towards Charlotte was like thorn.
Her rhythm of knocking at the door was as the same as that of Florence’s every time?
When her gaze met with Ernest’s in the air, Charlotte felt both scared and throbbing. She only experienced such a powerful aura from Ernest in her life.
It was so dangerous, but she was addicted to it.
