Chapter 293: Chapter 293: The Closed-Door Soup
"This is the report for tomorrow’s meeting. You’ll arrange it. And follow up on the design plan recently too."
"By the way, I may not want to attend tonight, you should go with another team to the banquet."
Charlotte gathered up some reports in her hands and handed them to Coco next to her, prompting Coco to look surprised.
"What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well? I can tell that you’re off today. Why don’t we go see a doctor after work? Don’t wear yourself out."
Coco has always been concerned for Charlotte, but Charlotte simply shook her head.
Although she didn’t say anything in front of Justin today, their interactions were just too odd.
It seemed that it would take her a while to sort out her feelings.
During this time, it was best not to see him. Thinking of this, Charlotte started drafting a leave request.
She thought it would be best to take a leave of absence for a while, step away from the company, and seriously consider her feelings.
Plus, she also needed to investigate Adam’s relationship with the child at the hospital immediately.
She had given hair samples to Jack this morning and asked him to investigate at the hospital first.
But after all, it was better to handle it herself.
"It’s not necessary. I’m just a little dizzy, I didn’t sleep well last night. You go and take care of your things. Could you give this letter to the CEO’s office later? I’m going to leave now, I have something else to deal with."
She finished speaking, packed up her things, and prepared to leave.
She only came to the office today to deliver this leave request properly.
Coco glanced at the letter in her hands, and then at Charlotte, who was tidying up. She wanted to say something, but after seeing Charlotte’s somewhat unhealthy complexion, she chose to keep silent.
In the evening, Justin apparently was looking for someone among the bustling crowd at the banquet.
Michael, standing next to him, perceived Justin’s thoughts and immediately went forward to inform him.
"Miss Thompson took leave and left the office this afternoon, but since you were in a video meeting at the time, I didn’t bring it up."
Upon hearing these words, Justin frowned and made an excuse to leave Michael early.
Following that, Justin quickly made his way to the hotel where Charlotte was staying.
"Why are you here?"
When Charlotte opened the door to find Justin, she was somewhat impatient and instinctively tried to close the door.
However, Justin stopped the door with his hand. His face revealed a rarely-seen solemnity as he asked the same awkward question as last night.
Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh, her voice filled with annoyance. She responded casually,
"Mr. Battleson, I’ve thought it over. I don’t want to be your mistress. Please leave."
As she spoke, Charlotte tried to close the door again while Justin was trying to explain.
However, before he could get the words out, the door was slammed shut, leaving him standing awkwardly outside reflecting on his own face, his heart filled with bitterness.
This was the most he had ever been snubbed in his life. This woman really misunderstood him.
Thinking about this, Justin couldn’t help but frown, for once he couldn’t find the words to say.
