"I’m still in the office, stop it."
Although Charlotte Thompson knew she couldn’t resist Justin Battleson, this was still the office after all.
Though their relationship had been established, Charlotte still felt embarrassed being so intimately carried out by Justin Battleson.
But Justin was unfazed and carried Charlotte straight out.
Outside, Coco was just packing up her things to leave when she turned and witnessed the scene.
Coco was greatly shocked and angrily smashed her own bowl.
Sister Charlotte would secretly feed the dog food with Mr. Battleson on normal days, but now, how could they blatantly slaughter the dogs?
Noticing Coco’s stare, Charlotte felt even more embarrassed, but Justin didn’t show any intention of putting her down. Charlotte could only bury her head in Justin’s chest, clutching at his lapel.
A few employees who hadn’t left the company yet saw this scene and hid in corners, whispering to each other.
"Help! Our Mr. Battleson and Miss Thompson are being too sweet."
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, they are just so perfect together."
"Did you see today’s trending topics? Did Miss Thompson really do that?"
However, Charlotte didn’t hear the latter part of the conversation.
It wasn’t until Justin had driven her back to the car that Charlotte seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, although the blush on her face hadn’t completely faded away.
While she was buckling her seatbelt, she glared at Justin and chided, "Don’t do that again."
Justin paused his hand on the steering wheel, then spoke softly, "Sorry."
Although they had now made their relationship public, Justin sensed that Charlotte was still somewhat reluctant to reveal their closeness to others.
Justin well understood that if Charlotte’s identity hadn’t been exposed before, she might not have chosen to make their reunion public.
Although Justin had felt disappointed about this, he realized, after all, it was Charlotte’s choice, yet it might also represent a knot in her heart.
Justin knew Charlotte’s delicate and affectionate nature well; she was a person who valued relationships deeply, yet they had once had a failed marriage.
However, Charlotte noticed the subtle shift in Justin’s mood and quickly held his wrist, softly saying, "No, I’m not... "
She wasn’t rejecting Justin. She loved him deeply and wouldn’t oppose intimate gestures with him.
"It’s just... in front of your company employees... it’s a bit embarrassing..." Charlotte’s lip quivered slightly.
Justin took Charlotte’s fingertip, bringing it to his lips for a gentle kiss, "It’s all because Charlotte is too adorable."
Normally, she used the word adorable to describe her children, and now, being called that by Justin, Charlotte felt even more embarrassed, a nervous look in her eyes as she pushed him slightly.
"Alright, no more playing, let’s go home."
"As you wish." Justin curved the corners of his lips and started the car. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel-fire.net
Gentle, soothing music played from the speakers, the man narrating his own story in a steady, husky voice.
Charlotte looked out the car window at the sky gradually stained orange by the sunset, her gaze also becoming tender.
She had never dared to look up at such a scene before.
Now, she possessed everything she once dreamed of.
Charlotte kept thinking, if this were really just a dream, would she have the courage to wake up?
