Second Marriage novel Chapter 213

Charlotte was stunned but allowed Kennedy to bury his head in her neck, feeling that his chin leaning on her shoulder. She thought he would do something, but he had been quietly lying there.

It confused Charlotte, because Kennedy suddenly looked sad and she sensed that.

Sad?

There was a moment Charlotte thought that she had made a mistake.

How could Kennedy be sad?

“What’s the matter with you?” Charlotte asked with doubt. Did her thing remind him of something?

Seeing that Kennedy had no move but still quietly lied there, Charlotte tried to move. He held her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move, let me hug you for a while.”

His voice was deep with sadness.

Charlotte was stunned and felt a burst of stomp in her heart. So she was right that he was sad?

Then she was motionless and allowed him to stay there. She raised her hand and rest on the back of Kennedy.

As she touched his back, she felt his back quivered but he did not move.

They sat there quietly. Kennedy had been leaning on her shoulder, then his breath became steady.

Charlotte, “??”

Was he asleep? She secretly lowered her head to take a look at him and found that he had black circles under his eyes. It seemed that he recently did not have a sound sleep.

Therefore, Charlotte dared not move and allowed him to be in asleep.

A long while later, the office’s door was suddenly opened. Nathan and Manfred walked in together. Seeing that, the two people did not say a word. Nathan looked at that with his eyes widened in disbelief, pointing at her.

“Mrs. Moore, what is going on...”

“SHH.” Charlotte put her finger onto her lips, indicating Nathan to hush.

Nathan had to shut up. Charlotte took a breath of relief. And then she noticed a pair of burning eyes fell on her face. Only then she found Manfred was with Nathan.

He stared at them and then he fixed his eyes on Charlotte. There was anger revealing on his gentle face.

Nathan coughed, “Since you are busy, we will go out first.”

Manfred stood motionless and said in a cold voice, “I have something important to talk to Kennedy.”

Nathan, “...Mr. Manfred, but...”

“It is the office hours, what are you doing?” Manfred said unpleasantly. His was not big or small, but it reached to every corner of the office.

Nathan, “Mr. Manfred, this is Mr. Kennedy’s office, he can do whatever he wants.”

“Although this is his office, it is the company of the Moore family!”

He became angry suddenly, which surprised Charlotte. Stupefied, she looked at Manfred. He was gentle in usual time, why did he was angry today?

She swallowed unconsciously. Before she had said a word, Kennedy moved and said, leaning on her shoulder.

“Mr. Manfred, you are mad, did you got provoked?”

Kennedy woke up. His low voice was charming, which made Charlotte’s heart itching.

He moved finally, slowly raised his head, and fixed his sharp black eyes on Manfred.

Manfred did not fear that. They both looked at each other coldly.

“Grandpa gave the company to you, but he didn’t say you can do anything.” Manfred went to the desk and sat down. His voice was different.

Kennedy curled his lips, “What do you mean? Every decision I make is for the sake of the Moore Group.”

“It’s office time. What are you doing?”

Kennedy raised his eyebrows, “You saw that.”

As his words fall, he put his hand around Charlotte’s waist and pinched heavily. Charlotte did not expect that and exclaimed.

Manfred clenched his hands seeing that.

“You...”

“What are you so angry about, brother? I got tired from work and slept on her shoulder. Is there a problem?”

Manfred pursed his lips and endured his anger, “Ridiculous! What if others see that?”

“Ridiculous? I was just sleeping on her shoulder. If we do something more intimate, what will you think?” When saying that, Kennedy deliberately got close to Charlotte and got his thin lips close to her face.

Manfred was shocked about that. He looked at Charlotte and thought she would be humiliated. But she was calm with no other expressions.

“Here is the file. Read it by yourself.”

He said and turned away.

After Manfred left, Nathan hurriedly left the office, leaving them in the office. Charlotte had other moves. But only she knew that she was not calm at all in the heart.

Kennedy deliberately treated her in that way in face of Manfred to anger him.

After he left, he would treated her as usual.

At this thought, Charlotte did not speak but waited quietly.

Kennedy helped her to stand up, “Go to work, wait for me and go home together after work.”

Charlotte was stunned for a while and then nodded her head, “Ok.”

Then she got up and walked out numbly, went back to her desk and sat down. Suddenly a man came out, grabbed her arm and walked out.

Charlotte came to her senses and saw that it was no other but Manfred, then her face changed. “What are you doing? Let me go!”

Manfred pulled her into the elevator and then pressed the button to his floor, without saying a word. Seeing that, Charlotte calmed herself down, “Manfred, what do you want?”

Manfred was angry, “I want to help you and transferred your position, but you don’t agree. Why do you have to stay with him? Don’t you feel mortified?”

“Mortified?”

“He’s obviously using you to make me angry. Do you feel it is ok for you? If a man does not know how to cherish a woman, you won’t be happy even if you stay with him!”

Charlotte was stunned, and then she calmly pulled her hand back.

“This is my business, not yours.”
