“E-Er... She's going to give you a hard time if you show up in her room. I'll make something up and brush it off. Perhaps she'll nag at me, but she will never mistreat me,” Lucy replied with her face puckered.
“It's fine! I'll tag along with you!” Charlotte put on her shoes immediately and said, “I have witnessed Ms. Blackwood's temperament before. There's no way I'll allow you to go through such a tormenting experience alone when I'm the one she's coming after.”
In the end, Charlotte departed with Lucy and made their way to Sharon's room with the USB drive and a few documents.
To their surprise, Zachary was nowhere to be seen in Sharon's room.
Meanwhile, Sharon, who had changed into a nightgown, slouched against the couch and enjoyed the glass of wine she had served herself. She placed her slender pair of legs on the coffee table, exuding a noble presence, superior to those present.
“Ms. Blackwood, here are the documents and the USB drive that has the proposal and the business plan of the project.” Lucy handed over the things to Sharon courteously.
“Thanks, please put it on the table...” Sharon instructed Lucy while she had her eyes glued to Charlotte.
“Y-Yes, Ms. Blackwood.” Lucy placed it on the coffee table. “Since there isn't anything else, we'll—”
“You're free to leave, but I have something to talk about with Charlotte.” Sharon beckoned Charlotte over in a courteous manner as though she couldn't wait to get Charlotte to join her.
Lucy looked at Charlotte with a frown because she was afraid of the upcoming session between the duo.
“Thanks!” Charlotte took a seat as suggested as though it wasn't a big deal at all.
“If that's the case, I'll take my leave.” Prior to her departure, Lucy told Charlotte, “I want you to take note of Ms. Blackwood's words, okay? If you need my help, feel free to give me a call.”
Charlotte beamed her reply and assured Lucy, “Yes, Ms. Wright. I'll keep that in mind.”
After Lucy departed, the maid showed up and brought Charlotte a cup of coffee.
Once the coffee was served, Sharon beckoned the maid to leave them alone.
“Look at you—you seem to be having a great time, huh?”
Sharon finished her rhetorical question with an odd grin while staring at Charlotte indifferently.
“Ms. Blackwood, may I know what you wish to talk about?” Charlotte cut the small talk and got to the point immediately.
Similarly, Sharon sat upright and handed over the check she had prepared beforehand to Charlotte after she filled in the details and the amount.
