Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Because It’s About You.
"Charlotte."
Justin Battleson brought Charlotte Thompson to the bed and then knelt on one knee in front of the bed, looking up at her.
"Thank you."
Justin whispered softly, "Thank you for staying by my side, and thank you for bringing these lovely children into my life."
Even after many years, Justin Battleson felt an added sense of gratitude when he looked at Charlotte Thompson beside him.
Thankfully, he had not chosen to let go of Charlotte’s hand back then.
And thankfully, his dreadful self had not tired Charlotte out.
Justin Battleson realized he was a greedy person.
He did not want to miss a thing about Charlotte.
"When did Mr. Battleson become so sentimental?" Upon hearing Justin’s words, Charlotte’s eyes sparkled as her fingertips glided slowly across the palm of his hand.
"Because it’s about you."
Justin lifted Charlotte’s hand and pressed it against his cheek, his eyes sincere and clear.
"Charlotte, it was only after meeting you that I realized life could be so beautiful."
Charlotte was like a rich, vibrant color, adding brightness to his originally dark and gloomy world.
It was something Justin Battleson longed for deeply yet was cautious not to touch.
"I am also grateful to have met you."
Charlotte’s lips moved gently as she uttered these words tranquilly.
If it weren’t for that marriage replacement back then, her life might never have crossed with Justin Battleson’s.
Would she have always been the somber Sophie Allen of the Allen family?
Justin leaned over and gently kissed Charlotte’s lips, reverently as if touching a treasure.
A night of charm.
...
The next day, upon arriving at the company, Charlotte Thompson immediately submitted all her design drafts and called a meeting to summarize the work, even praising the designers of Group A.
Elijah Walker, who had been extremely worried, finally felt relieved when Charlotte didn’t bring up anything about yesterday.
But it wasn’t long before Charlotte opened a slide presentation with an image of a design draft.
"By the way, whose design draft is this?" Charlotte asked, prompting everyone present to turn their attention to Florienna Ellis.
Instantly, all expressions involuntarily paused on Florienna Ellis’s face.
Florienna shifted her eyes and immediately spoke, "Designer Walker, I remember this is your draft, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, Elijah Walker straightened up immediately, "Florienna, you..."
"Miss Thompson, is there a problem with this draft?"
A designer, who was usually on good terms with Florienna, asked, "Could there be some sort of mistake?"
"There’s no problem at all. I brought out this draft because I thought it was exceptionally good. I was planning to give a reward but wasn’t sure which designer it was from," Charlotte explained.
However, as soon as Charlotte finished speaking, Florienna raised her hand swiftly, fearing someone else might claim it first.
"Miss Thompson, this design draft is mine," Florienna stated cheerfully as she stood up.
Initially, when Florienna saw this design draft, she noticed that the pattern on it hadn’t been altered according to Charlotte’s requirements, so when Charlotte asked about it, Florienna thought she was looking for trouble. However, it turned out Charlotte was actually impressed with the draft.
"But I thought I heard you say earlier that this draft was Mr. Walker’s," Charlotte couldn’t help but turn her gaze toward Elijah Walker.
"Miss Thompson, you must have heard wrong. This design draft is indeed in my style and completely different from Team Leader Walker’s," Florienna quickly added.
However, such an act made others around them even more despise Florienna.
