“Charlotte, I-I…”
Louis wanted to explain, but droplets of sweat were rolling down his cheeks from his forehead, and he could not manage to speak a proper sentence.
“Who brought you here?”
Charlotte was not angry and her tone was calm. After her question, she began giving the place a once-over. That’s strange. Why does this place look so familiar?
“About that…” Louis was about to reveal Zachary’s name, but he realized that would mean he was a bad friend. Hence, he said instead, “Charlotte, I didn’t do anything just now. I was holding my ground, and I’ve yet to… You know.”
“Oh?”
Charlotte glanced at his pants. His belt was unbuckled, but his pants were still on.
So, despite all her efforts earlier, that pretty girl in red hasn’t gotten her way yet.
How pitiful.
“Don’t be angry.” Louis moved forward, about to tug Charlotte’s sleeve.
However, she took a step back and avoided his hands. “I’m not.”
“Then why are you…” Louis trailed off, feeling hurt by her apathetic demeanor.
“You touched someone else earlier,” Charlotte muttered as she maintained a distance from him. “I’m going to leave first. We’ll meet another day.”
“Charlotte—” Louis was about to speak, but Charlotte had already turned and left.
Looking at her retreating figure, Louis felt his heart sink in disappointment. At the same time, he felt remorseful for what he had done earlier.
Just then, two bodyguards entered and quietly consoled, “Sir, don’t be upset. Ms. Lindberg’s reaction means that she’s concerned about you.”
“Really?” Louis’ eyes lit up with hope.
“Yes, that’s right. She’s clearly jealous,” the other bodyguard added.
“Right. She’s jealous.” Recalling Charlotte’s reaction from a moment ago, delight entered Louis’ heart. “She must be jealous!”
“Maybe this is good news,” the bodyguard continued. “She used to swing between being enthusiastic and aloof back then. That means she was unsure of her feelings toward you. After this incident, she’s starting to think of her feelings for you as something important.”
“So, I guess this is… How do you say this in C Nation’s language? Something is disguise?”
“A blessing in disguise.”
