Charlotte Thompson didn’t say anything, just glanced back nonchalantly at the people who were talking, her eyes calm and unaffected.
It was as if the people they were talking about just now wasn’t her.
Sensing her gaze, the people finally toned down a bit and dejectedly closed their mouths, hailed a taxi, and left.
Those who work in the business world should have a bit of discernment.
They would gossip behind the back, but would never offend in person.
In a company where everyone has to face each other often, no one would be stupid enough to cause trouble for themselves.
Not a while later, a black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up in front of Charlotte Thompson. The car window on the driver’s side rolled down, revealing Jack Bryant with a cool pair of sunglasses that finally gave him a slightly stern bodyguard look.
Liam Bryant sat in the back seat, his black suit immaculate. He got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door, respectfully saying, "Miss, please get in the car."
Charlotte Thompson nodded and got into the car in her high heels.
Not far away, a man stood at the entrance, watching the Rolls-Royce slowly drive away with his deeply dark eyes.
A few seconds later, he lifted his eyes, strode to a car parked not far away, quickly pulled open the driver’s door, started the car, and followed the Rolls-Royce.
In less than half an hour, the black Rolls-Royce stopped outside the BK Hotel.
Twilight had begun to set in, the hotel lights were bright, creating an inexplicably comforting atmosphere.
To avoid trouble, she had been staying at the Thompson residence during this time. Now that she was back at the hotel, there was a sense of nostalgia.
Jack Bryant led the way, pushing open the door, and looked back at Charlotte Thompson to speak.
"By the way, Miss, Mr. Thompson called today. Not wanting to disturb your work, he called the hotel directly. The six young masters and the young lady miss you. They hope you can call them back later."
Charlotte Thompson responded indifferently.
Since she arrived in Druarus, she had been fully devoted to the jewelry design competition and hadn’t had time to spare.
This was the first time in five years that she had left her children.
Although the children were sensible and obedient, who knows if they miss her. Follow current novels on noⅴelfire.net
Thinking of the children’s innocent faces, a relaxed and happy smile finally appeared on Charlotte Thompson’s lips.
Outside the hotel, a black luxury car pulled up right after, Justin Battleson got out of the car. He leaned against the car, somewhat agitated, and lit a cigarette.
In the darkness, the light of the cigarette flickered on and off.
After entering their rooms, Jack Bryant and Liam Bryant as usual, went to their own rooms. Charlotte Thompson comfortably took a bath, changed into her pajamas, then only did she turn on her computer and sent a video call request to her eldest brother.
Due to the time difference, it took about ten seconds for the video call abroad to connect.
The children knew their mother would call tonight, so they sat by the computer as soon as it got dark.
However, unaware of the time difference between the two countries, the children had been waiting by the computer for a few hours, waiting for the call, until late at night.
As soon as the video call connected, Charlotte saw Grace Thompson’s chubby little hands tampering with the screen, and her face looked puzzled.
Grace, who has big watery eyes, now looked somewhat dull, it seemed the little girl couldn’t withstand her sleepiness.
Charlotte looked at the time, indeed, it should be early morning in Ashton now.
She blamed herself for not keeping track of the time.
These days, busy with the contest and dealing with Justin Battleson, she was a bit overwhelmed and completely forgot about the time difference between Druarus and Ashton.
