When Charlotte heard Coco’s question, her cheeks instantly turned red.
"Who wouldn’t be enthusiastic about clocking out?" Coco said.
However, Charlotte smelled something unusual; she propped up her arm and leaned in a bit closer to Coco.
"If it’s just about clocking out, why the blushing? Let me guess, has something good happened to you recently?"
Coco immediately objected, but she met Charlotte’s inquiring and curious gaze.
Finally, Coco gave in, she twirled her long hair and said a bit embarrassed, "Actually, someone has been pursuing me lately."
"Really?" Charlotte’s eyes lit up.
No one is uninterested in gossip, not even Charlotte.
"Confess generously, or resist firmly. When did you meet him?"
"Oh, Sister Charlotte, don’t ask anymore, nothing is set in stone yet." Under Charlotte’s curious questioning, Coco was really embarrassed.
Seeing Coco’s face flushed unusally, Charlotte couldn’t help but curve her lips.
"Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Since it’s time to leave, let’s hurry on. In case I interrupt your date, that would be my fault."
"Then Sister Charlotte, I’ll go ahead!"
As she spoke, Coco was already eager to grab her small bag and walk out the door.
Charlotte nodded her head, then stealthily walked to the office’s floor-to-ceiling window, very curious to look downstairs.
She seemed to be looking for the person pursuing Coco.
Perhaps because her attention was all on the downstairs, Charlotte didn’t notice someone entering the office.
Not until her waist was embraced and her back leaned against a warm chest, did Charlotte snap back to her senses.
"What are you so engrossed in watching?" Justin Battleson rested his chin on Charlotte’s shoulder and also looked downstairs following her gaze. Googlᴇ search NovelHub(.)net
"Gossip." Charlotte chuckled.
"Hmm?" Justin listened, his tone slightly puzzled.
Laughing, Charlotte started, "Coco has a boyfriend."
"Instead of caring about your subordinate’s gossip, why don’t you pay some attention to me?" Justin said softly.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte turned around and wrapped her arms around Justin’s neck, "What does CEO Justin need caring for?"
"There are many aspects of me that need caring for, like whether my work is exhausting, who I am thinking about right now, and..."
As he spoke, a meaningful look flashed in Justin’s eyes and slowly brushed past Charlotte’s ear, whispering something that made her cheeks instantly flush with red.
"Justin Battleson! What are you saying?"
Charlotte glared at Justin, her eyes soft and tender, but just one look had half paralyzed Justin’s heart.
Justin leaned down and pressed a kiss on Charlotte’s lips.
But this touch made it somewhat difficult for Justin to restrain himself, who could blame him when everything about Charlotte was soft and sweet.
Noticing Justin’s deepening gaze, Charlotte quickly placed her hand on Justin’s chest and moved her body back a bit, trying to create some distance between them.
"Alright, stop it, we should head back now."
Justin affectionately kissed the top of Charlotte’s head, then grabbed her hand as they walked out of the office together.
The pair still returned to Stardust Garden, joining the children and Jasmine Clarkson for dinner.
