Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Unbelievable
Facing Charlotte Thompson’s somewhat shocked expression, Justin Battleson assumed that she didn’t know about what happened earlier, so he patiently explained much to her.
But he didn’t expect her next words to totally confuse him.
"Mr. Battleson, are you telling me all this to build an image of a man deeply in love in front of me?"
Despite Justin’s seemingly clear explanation, Charlotte still had doubts, believing he wasn’t telling the truth.
She thought all his actions were just a drama he put on with Evelyn Curtis.
"What do you mean by that?"
A chill was detected in Justin’s tone. He thought he had made everything clear, but he hadn’t expected her to think that way.
"What do I mean, how could a smart man like Mr. Battleson not know?"
"If all Mr. Battleson wanted to do today was to explain this incident, let me tell you, I am not interested in your matters. If Mr. Battleson is extremely bored, I wouldn’t mind suggesting that you tell your story under the bridge."
Charlotte said indifferently as she turned her back, a fleeting look of panic crossing her face.
To say she wasn’t shocked would be a lie.
Justin seemed so serious while speaking, almost as if, she’d been mistaken for his loved one since the beginning, and that’s why he’d been so concerned about Evelyn Curtis.
However, can she make clear what’s true and what’s not through his belly?
Evelyn Curtis is cunning and full of tricks while Justin comes off as dark and brooding.
Perhaps the two of them were together just to tease her. The thought brought a sarcastic smirk to Charlotte’s face.
These two were indeed putting a lot of effort into it, but what did they want from her?
Charlotte squinted her eyes at the man before her.
"Mr. Battleson, you’ve said so much about Miss Curtis. Is your purpose just to make me believe that, you’re interested in Miss Curtis?"
Justin Battleson has always been the one to dominate the business world, speaking decisively without leaving people room to rebut.
He didn’t think that he’d be at a disadvantage in front of Charlotte today.
His thin lips twitched, a fleeting look of displeasure on his handsome face.
He seldom talked about his private affairs with others.
But in front of Charlotte, things were different.
Would the outcome be different now if he had realized his feelings sooner?
"The only reason I’m telling you all this is to let you know one thing."
Justin looked at the woman before him, he tried to reach out and touch her shoulder. She looked much like the woman from five years ago.
Her features were striking, her eyes shining, she looked extraordinarily beautiful under the light.
If he hadn’t seen himself waking up in Evelyn’s bed, he would instinctively believe it was her that night.
"What a pity," Charlotte dodged his touch, leaning back against the wooden table.
"Unfortunately, I don’t believe a word Mr. Battleson said today. What does your love and hate with Evelyn Curtis have to do with me? If there’s nothing else, Mr. Battleson, you may leave. I still have work to do."
A cold light flashed in Justin’s eyes. His mood was subdued. He had conscientiously explained his feelings to Charlotte according to his original intentions.
But this woman did not believe it.
