Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Miss Curtis Wouldn’t Mind, Right?
However, seeing that it was Justin Battleson, his chilly demeanor made the gazes of those people consciously retreat.
Nobody even dared to greet him, they lowered their heads and quickly left without making eye contact.
Just at that moment, Charlotte Thompson had packed her things and opened the door to the lounge, pulling her suitcase behind her.
The picture froze at this moment, and Evelyn Curtis’s low-voiced and obsequious behavior was truly ridiculous.
It seemed that over the years, Evelyn Curtis was not as successful as the outside world thought.
This submissive demeanor reminded Charlotte of the time when she was part-time, Evelyn Curtis was her supervisor, and she was always polite and eager to please her customers.
Charlotte stood confidently in front of the two, her gaze traveled from top to bottom, scanning the other two.
The three confronted each other in silence, with a strange atmosphere spreading in the narrow corridor.
"What a coincidence, Mr. Battleson, Miss Curtis." Charlotte greeted them calmly, with a slight smile.
Charlotte had replaced her extravagant dress with a relaxed casual outfit, making her look even more vibrant and lively without the restrictions.
Her small face without makeup was beautiful with a healthy glow, her naturally reddish lips were charming.
Her face was pristine without a single flaw.
She was plainly appealing, with delicate features. She was not stunning, but there was an indescribable pleasing quality about her.
Charlotte looked at them with a smiling face, treating them as if they had just met, her politeness combined with a sense of distance, but without awkwardness.
She was not as domineering as she was on stage, and at this moment, Charlotte was more like Sophie Allen in temperament.
The only difference was Charlotte’s self-confidence and cheerfulness.
This was a quality never seen in Sophie Allen.
Evelyn Curtis and Justin Battleson both stood still, their movements frozen, their gaze fixed on Charlotte.
Evelyn Curtis’s face was becoming harder to look at, and she felt as if Sophie Allen had come back for revenge.
Thinking of this, she felt guilty, and her heart started to beat faster.
After all, it was she who had stolen Sophie Allen’s necklace, which gave her the opportunity to get close to Justin Battleson and lead a life of luxury for the past five years.
If Sophie Allen suddenly returned, how would she handle herself?
Coming back to his senses, Justin Battleson withdrew his gaze from her face.
After all, staring at a girl for too long is impolite.
"Can we have a private talk?" Without paying attention to the sudden change in Evelyn Curtis’s face, Justin Battleson looked at Charlotte and asked quietly.
Tired in both mind and body, all Charlotte wanted was to roll into her warm bed and sleep. She wasn’t very interested in his sudden invitation.
She was about to decline and propose to do it another day when she caught sight of Evelyn Curtis’s pale face out of the corner of her eye.
This is interesting, why should she choose another day?
Charlotte thought to herself, feeling a hint of joy.
Then looked at Evelyn Curtis: "Miss Curtis, you won’t mind, right?"
This seemingly unintentional question was meant to provoke Evelyn Curtis.
Charlotte’s eyes met Evelyn Curtis’s briefly before she hooked her lips into a slight smile.
Her sincere attitude made it seem like she was really asking for her opinion.
Especially the way Charlotte acted as though she could keep a distance from Justin Battleson, made Evelyn Curtis even more uncomfortable.
Already very dissatisfied with Charlotte, now she acted so arrogantly.
Evelyn Curtis was itching with hatred, wishing she could go over and scratch her.
"It’s me who wants to talk to you, so what has it to do with her?" Justin Battleson interjected at the right moment, seemingly distancing himself from Evelyn Curtis.
The tone of his voice lingered in her ear, eyes distanced, and combined with his gloomy expression, Evelyn Curtis shivered.
There was an indescribable discomfort and jealousy in her heart.
