Chapter 1836: Mutual Pursuit
Chapter 1836: Mutual Pursuit
Just then, Charlotte Thompson’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Charlotte’s eyes flickered slightly before she answered the call.
"Miss Thompson, it’s almost time for the appointment. Do you need us to send a car to pick you up?"
Charlotte stepped out of the bar and looked at the brilliant warm sun outside, shielding her eyes with her hand.
"No need, please cancel the reservation plan."
Clearly, Charlotte’s words were unexpected for the person on the other end of the line.
"But Mr. Battleson..."
"Just cancel all the arrangements as I said. I will still pay you the fees."
After hanging up the phone, Charlotte was already in the car, driving in one direction.
After the Leon Battleson incident, the management of Battleson Group returned to Justin Battleson’s hands.
Fortunately, Battleson Group already had its own operating system in place, so Justin didn’t have to devote too much energy to it.
Now, he was mainly managing Riley Group in his hands.
When Charlotte arrived at Riley Group, the receptionist was also taken aback.
"Miss Thompson."
The receptionist exclaimed, and she was about to dial the company’s internal line, but Charlotte stopped her just in time.
"It’s okay, I’ll go up by myself."
Charlotte shook her head at the receptionist and then fiddled with the bouquet in her hands, which she bought at a flower shop on her way to Riley Group.
Charlotte was somewhat anticipating what kind of expression Justin would show when he saw her?
Thinking about this, Charlotte turned and walked toward the elevator.
Watching Charlotte’s back, the receptionist’s face instantly showed a look of envy, whispering to her colleague.
"What a fairy-tale romance! It’s just so enviable!"
"When will I find a boyfriend as handsome and rich as Mr. Battleson?"
"Stop dreaming, you’re not Miss Thompson. Us working-class folks should just focus on our work."
While the two receptionists exchanged words, Charlotte had already taken the elevator to the floor of Justin Battleson’s office.
"At this time... Justin’s work should be over by now."
Charlotte glanced at the time on her wrist and pondered carefully.
For today’s events, both Justin and Charlotte had cleared their schedules for the afternoon.
Originally, Charlotte thought that arriving at Riley Group early would give Justin a surprise, but what she didn’t expect was that as soon as the elevator doors opened, she met Justin’s gaze.
Charlotte, holding the bouquet, was momentarily stunned. She had wanted to surprise Justin, but now she was slightly bewildered.
Justin’s reaction was quite similar to Charlotte’s, although he was still holding his phone, with the call still connected to Charlotte’s phone ringtone.
The two looked at each other and then, as if on cue, burst into laughter.
The mutual love was intense and passionate.
"I feel like... my surprise kind of failed."
Charlotte winked at Justin and then handed the bouquet in her hands to him.
"Excuse me, handsome, do you have time? Let’s go on a date."
Justin raised an eyebrow slightly, then strode into the elevator, wrapped his long arms around Charlotte, and leaned in for a kiss.
