Second Marriage novel Chapter 145

“Since when are subordinates allowed to negotiate with their superiors?” Kennedy was impatient.

Charlotte held her bag tightly, and said gnashing teeth, “Even if I work overtime, I could not finish sorting out those materials. Can I take them home?”

She had backed down.

“No.”

However, Kennedy did not budge at all posture.

What could Charlotte say? She thought she could meet Diana tomorrow.

Thinking of this, she said nothing, but walk toward her post.

She could work overtime, and she did not need to convince anyone.

Charlotte sat back on her post, and Nathan had pushed Kennedy to leave.

After he left, Charlotte took out her mobile phone to send messages to Diana, saying she may not leave today and they could meet in the other day.

Two minutes after the message was sent, Diana called her.

“What’s going on? We had an appointment today. Why suddenly change?”

Diana’s voice sounded anxious with uneasy.

She made up her mind to tell Charlotte the answer, for fear that after today, she could not tell the truth, but she did not expect that Charlotte would not come.

So Diana became suddenly panic.

She wondered if Charlotte was on to something.

Looking at the mountains of documents in front of her, Charlotte felt a bit headache. “I’m sorry, Diana, I don’t mean to stand you up, but I just have something to do today and can’t keep the appointment.”

Diana, “How about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow, we will see.”

“What on earth are you so busy with?”

Charlotte, “I have to stay and work overtime in the company.”

There was a silence at the other end, and then she said, “Are you alone?”

Charlotte looked around and nodded, “Yes.”

“I’ll come and bring you dinner. What do you want?”

Hearing this, Charlotte was warm in heart, “I am not picky, but if you come, will it waste your time?”

“Never mind. Wait for me, I’ll be there in an hour.”

After hanging up the phone, Charlotte looked at Diana’s photo.

Her best friend, Diana.

She was so good to her, how could she be the kind of person Yanis said?

No way.

Charlotte put away her cell phone and threw her thoughts into her work.

Then, the elevator suddenly opened. Diana carrying two food boxes appeared in the corridor, shouting, “Ouch, it is heavy. Charlotte, hurry to help me.” Hearing that, Charlotte found that it had passed an hour.

She quickly got up to pick up Diana, took the bag in her hands.

Diana followed her to the table, looking at the mountains of materials. There even had no room to place the food box on the table.

“Damn it, what’s going on? Why there is so much materials?”

Charlotte darkened her eyes and said in a soft voice, “It is ok, I will tidy up, and then there will be room to place the box, give me ten minutes.”

When Charlotte tidied up, Diana looked around and subconsciously looked toward the direction of the office. She asked, “Does Mr. Kennedy work overtime?”

“No.” Charlotte shook her head, “I’m probably the only one working overtime in the whole company.”

Diana widened her eyes, “Why? You are the only one working overtime in the whole company? Are you going to support the business on your own?”

“It has nothing to do with that. I have not finished the work myself.”

“With this much work, you can’t finish it in three days.” Diana angrily complained, “your company is too inhumane to you.”

Charlotte had put things away, took a seat to Diana and then opened the box.

“You like the vegetarian food of this shop? I took two boxes and drove there for twenty minutes to get them.”

“Thank you, Diana.”

“You are welcome, we are friends.”

After two people took chopsticks to eat for a while, Diana suddenly asked, “You haven’t told me why the company let you work overtime alone? What’s going on?”

Charlotte had no secrets to Diana.

So she told Diana the truth.

After listening, Diana’s expression changed slightly.

“You mean he got mad about the pictures and gave you all this work on purpose?”

Charlotte smiled and whispered, “Who knows? Perhaps it is because he doesn’t like me.”

Charlotte suddenly sighed, “Diana, who do you thing framed me in my back and took those pictures?”

Diana turned pale on face and her heart beat wildly. She covered her nervousness, bowed her head and replied, “I don’t know.”

She picked up a piece of meat and dropped her chopsticks, probably out of nervousness.

Diana’s face changed greatly. When she bent over to pick them up, she accidentally knocked down the chair.

Charlotte, “...Diana, what’s wrong with you?”

Diana lowered her head to pick up chopsticks, but could not help closing her eyes to cheer herself up.

Don’t panic!

“Nothing...” Diana showed an embarrassing smile. Got up and want to use that pair of chopsticks to take food. Charlotte frowned and took her chopsticks, “They are already dirty, you can’t use them. I go to wash for you.”

Then she took the chopsticks and went to wash.

After she left, Diana covered her heart, and right now her face had become pale and terrible.

She didn’t expect her to make such a faux pas in front of Charlotte.

After Charlotte went for a while, Diana had adjusted her own state of mind.

“Charlotte, I did not eat lunch today and drove a long way, so I am hungry and my hands trembled. Thank you for that.”

Hearing that, Charlotte was stunned and looked at her, moved.

“Diana, you are very good to me.”

Diana smiled, “Yeah, you only have me as your friend, and I only have you as my friend, so sure I am good to you.”

After they sat down, Diana did not want to eat but asked her in a low voice, “Charlotte, so you and Mr. Kenned have been disturbed by these photos? Is your relationship this bad? Or is it because of the photos?”

Charlotte silently looked at the food in front of her. In fact, she did not know whether the relationship had been peaceful for a while. It seemed that they had been peaceful and harmonious for a period of time since they had sex because of the drug.

But that kind of peace and harmony for Charlotte was a kind of humiliation.

She couldn’t think of anything good for a man who hated her had sex with her.

“Probably.” She nodded.

Diana’s eyes became bright.

It seemed to be a good idea to divide them with photos.
