Second Marriage novel Chapter 299

“He hasn't come yet. Sit down, let’s order some food first.”

Yanis beckoned her to sit down and Charlotte had to sit down. She took a look at the time and it was half past six, one and a half hours before 8 o’clock. She thought there was enough time.

Yanis couldn't help but ask, “Are you in a hurry? Is there anything else you need to do?”

Charlotte told Yanis what happened.

“Why didn't you tell me? If I know, you can go ahead, and I'll do it.”

“I am here now. There's no use talking about it now.”

“Why don't you go change your dress now and head straight back? Otherwise, it would be bad for your relationship.”

“It is ok. I told him I'd make it. The party doesn't begin until eight. I'll dine here with you until seven. So I still have time.”

Hearing that, Yanis felt relieved, “All right, let’s order food first. Mr. Manfred said he will be here in ten minutes and asked us to order first.”

“Ok.” Charlotte nodded and ordered two dishes. She was anxious and now she kept thinking of Kennedy and was not so concerned about this matter.

The words that Kennedy said before she went out made a deep impression on her.

Ten minutes later, Manfred finally got there. He seemed to have dressed up, wearing a white suit with a clean and tidy tie, which attracted many women's eyes.

Then Charlotte and Yanis heard the discussion of the women at the next table.

“Who is this man? He is so handsome.”

“Come on, this kind of high-quality man has a girlfriend already.”

“Which one the two women is his girlfriend?”

“I think it's the younger one, young and beautiful.”

“Stupid, I think that one in blue, they look matched.”

Charlotte, “......”

These gossips even talked about this, if possible, she would like to say none of them were Manfred's girlfriend.

Yanis whispered in her ear, “Don't those people keep their voice down when they were gossiping? We heard it.”

Yes, they had heard it, and Manfred must have heard it, too.

Manfred sat opposite them. He glanced at Yanis and Charlotte, “Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I am late.”

“It is ok, it is ok.” Yanis smiled and waved her hand. Charlotte was still calm.

The women at the next table began to talk again.

“See, that little girl waved to the man, I said she is his girlfriend.”

“Are you an idiot? The man was looking at the woman in the blue skirt. It is normal to wave hands. If they were in relationship, it has no need to wave hands.”

Charlotte pretended that she had not heard that, she could not control it after all.

There was silence for a while, then Charlotte said, “Manfred, what's the result of the investigation? Is it out?”

Manfred looked at her gently and said in a soft voice, “Let’s eat first.”

“But...” Charlotte was worried and when she was about to speak, Yanis pulled her under the table. She took a look at Yanis and realized that she was in hurry. He was here to help. Since she got time, she could wait. He had a traffic jam, so he must have not had food yet.

Just have dinner first.

Charlotte did not say anything more, but accompanied the two of them to eat quietly, and the women at the next table occasionally discussed.

Manfred suddenly reached for a piece of meat to her bowl. Charlotte was stunned before she realized what to do, the women said again, “See? He helped the woman in the blue dress with food. They are boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Another woman disagreed, “Helping her with food does not mean that they are boyfriend and girlfriend, maybe it is the way of hospitality.”

“You are talkative!”

Charlotte looked at the piece of meat in front of her and had an evil idea. She always felt like Manfred deliberately to confirm what they said. He heard the conversation of the women at the next table and he did it deliberately.

Although Charlotte knew she was thinking too much, she just subconsciously felt that he did it on purpose to make people misunderstand.

So Charlotte did not touch that piece of meat, but ate what was in front of her.

Manfred did not feel embarrassed but still calm. Charlotte did not pay more attention to the next table.

After the dinner, Yanis looked at the time and felt anxious for Charlotte, and then she asked, “Mr. Manfred, how is the investigation going?”

Manfred raised his hand to look at his watch and then feel his eyes on Charlotte's face. She seemed to be very worried since the time of coming in.

He could probably guess the reason.

Thinking of this, Manfred smiled slightly and said softly, “Don't worry, I have got the result, but my secretary is sorting it out before I came, so you may have to wait for a while. Do you have plans for tonight?”

Hearing that, Yanis’ face changed. She looked at Charlotte. Before she said anything, Charlotte spoke, “No, but it is late, we don’t want to bother you.”

“Never mind, I have been off work, the evening is my free time.” Manfred said, “If it is too late and unsafe, I can send you back.”

Yanis, “...Mr. Manfred, Charlotte is far from here. If you know the result, would you please tell us?”

“It's complicated and difficult to translate verbally, but...wait until my secretary gets here.”

“Well... what about Charlotte leave first and I'll wait here?”

At this point, Manfred probably understood. He looked at Charlotte and said, “Do you have anything to do at night?”

Charlotte did not deny it and nodded directly, “Yes, I have something to do at eight, so...I'm sorry.”

“Eight o’clock?” Manfred was thoughtful and then he said, “You mean the party?”

Charlotte was surprised, “You know it?”

“Yes, I was invited to that party too, but I forgot --”

“Wow! Then you can go together.”

Yanis got excited. Charlotte would not be late them, because they would go to the party together, so Manfred would not delay time.
