Second Marriage novel Chapter 155

In the room

After all the staff arrived, the supervisor arrived late with Charlotte.

When Charlotte followed the supervisor into the room, everyone cast eyes to her. After several events, all the senior executives knew Charlotte.

If they inquired about her, they would know what happened between Charlotte and Kennedy since she came to the company.

In addition, they had met Charlotte many times in the conference room. Although the president did bother her at the beginning, they were not blind. How could they not understand the ups and downs of people's emotions if they were in the top position?

Last time when Zain came to talk about cooperation, as long as they were not blind, they would be able to see Kennedy’s attitude to her.

But...... he cared and hated her

Otherwise, how could he demote her in front of the whole company?

The supervisor of the department was a man in his forties, thin, with a long face and long eyes and a pointed chin. Wearing glasses, he looked gentle, but his face did not look very good.

"You are late, Arthur! Don't you know the president hates being late?"

When someone reminded him, Arthur's eyes changed and he immediately said, "I don't want to be late. It's just that I haven't sorted out all the materials I need for this meeting yet!"

Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.

"What's going on? I told you to sort out the materials yesterday, didn't I? How come it hasn't been finished yet?"

"Yes, the materials of our department were also sent yesterday. What's the matter with you?"

Arthur held back his breath, and then looked at the man in the main position with indifferent face and cold breath -- Kennedy. Suddenly he pulled out Charlotte behind him!

"She messed up all the materials."

Ah? Was it related to her again? They didn't understand, looking at Charlotte who had been pushed out.

Kennedy's face was expressionless. He took a bleak eye at the supervisor’s hand touched Charlotte's slender arm.

She had fair skin and was wearing a sleeveless skirt. When she was tugged by her supervisor, there were red marks on her fair arm.

This woman had delicate and tender skin and did not cover it up.

"She is new in our department. I wanted to see what her ability has, and she asked to sort out the materials for this meeting. She was so confident that I agreed to let her do it, but she failed to do so. Mr. Kennedy, sorry, I didn’t teach her well!"

He said it was Charlotte’s fault and then said it was his mistake that he did not teach her well. How hypocritical.

As the words fell for a long time, no one said a word for they did not know what they should say and did not know what was in the president’s mind.

Charlotte was calm, carrying her bag. Her beautiful face was expressionless.

She didn’t seem to be worried about the situation at all.

"You did not teach her well." Suddenly, a soft but stern voice rang out.

A man in a white shirt stood up and his calm eyes fell on Arthur's face.

Arthur immediately felt a power pressure, involuntarily bent down his waist, "Mr. Manfred."

Manfred’s voice was smooth, “You said she is a newcomer, and this project materials is very important and you know it is for the meeting. Even if you want to see what she's capable of, you need to find a replacement to avoid such a thing happen, but you blindly entrusted something to a new comer. Now there is a failure, you blamed on others. Arthur, are you not comfortable enough in this position?"

What he said was justified. Arthur was pale on face. He suddenly realized what he had done and looked at Manfred with fear, but the man on the main seat did not pay attention to it and seemed that he was indifferent about this matter.

So Arthur had confidence again and then said, “Mr. Manfred, you are right, I didn’t give a fully consideration, but..."

"What? Do you want to avoid the responsibility?"

Arthur lowered his head and said, "No, I dare not!"

"Where's the materials?" All of a sudden, a voice with an infinite chill was sounded, which startled all the theatre-goers and made them sit up straight.

Kennedy fixed his eyes on Charlotte’s fair face and said in a bad tone, “On the first day of demotion, you did not work hard but caused trouble, how do you plan to make up for it?"

Hearing that, Charlotte who said nothing finally looked toward Kennedy.

The way he looked at her was very cold compared to the last few days. When she met his eyes, she felt like she was in an ice cave.

Charlotte knew that her words had hurt him. She did not beg him to forgive her, but she was looking for a chance to explain.

They stared at each other in the air for a long time before Charlotte said aloud, "I'm trying to make progress."

Kennedy’s complexion was cold and he stared at her with no words.

Charlotte said, "I didn't cause trouble either."

They did not know what she meant. Charlotte put her bag on the table, turned her palm, where a small and delicate U disk was lying in there.

"I have sorted out the materials, but the computer was so old that it suddenly turned off automatically."

"Fortunately, I have a habit of saving it on a U disk."

Charlotte raised the U disk for everyone to see, moved forward, inserted it into the interface, and then began to play for everyone.

"Here's what I sorted out. Please give me a moment, I will print it out right now, and then I will send it to you."

All the executives, “......"

What? Wasn’t it said that the materials had not been sorted out? What was going on here?

When Arthur, who pushed Charlotte out, found that the materials had been arranged, suddenly changed his face, went to Charlotte and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a backup but made a fool of myself."

Charlotte’s complexion was indifferent, “Supervisor, you did not ask me about it."

Arthur, “......"

"You just asked me to come with you to the office. You didn't say why. I didn't have a chance to explain it to you from the moment I got there." Charlotte said, blinking in an innocent way.

Arthur was angry.

The high level was speechless to Arthur. Nathan standing behind Kennedy was pleased and applauded for Charlotte in his heart.

Good for you!

Nice counterattack!

Show the true face of Arthur!

Of course Charlotte knew that those people were waiting to see her make a fool of herself. And Kennedy wanted to see her make a fool of herself too.

She, however, did not allow that happen!

She was not a person to be bully by others easily. Even if she would get bullied even more, she would fight back!
