Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: Charlotte, I’m Sorry
"Justin Battleson, let go."
Charlotte Thompson gritted her teeth to make her voice sound less pitiful, but her eyes had already quietly begun to redden.
However, Justin didn’t listen to Charlotte’s words. He only tightened his arms, not allowing Charlotte any room to struggle.
"Charlotte, I’m sorry, I really didn’t touch that woman. She said you told her to bring in the papers," Justin immediately explained.
But Justin’s words only made Charlotte even more furious.
"I never asked Florienna Ellis to bring you any papers."
Justin was taken aback, suspecting it was probably Florienna Ellis who had made up the excuse to come in.
No wonder Michael Richard hadn’t stopped him.
How could he be so foolish.
Justin clenched his teeth but felt a dampness on his shoulder.
This made Justin’s body stiffen slightly, and when he loosened his arms a little, he saw tears streaming from Charlotte’s eyes.
Charlotte bit her lower lip and looked at herself. Even without speaking, Justin could already feel the grievance and sadness in her eyes.
Charlotte’s tears fell onto the back of Justin’s hand, scalding and painfully stinging his heart.
"Charlotte, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. It won’t happen again."
Justin clutched Charlotte’s palm and pressed it against his face, "You can hit me, yell at me, anything, just please don’t cry, okay?"
Charlotte didn’t speak. She pressed against Justin’s palm, biting her teeth unable to speak, and eventually she leaned her head softly on Justin’s shoulder.
Justin hugged Charlotte tightly, apologizing constantly in her ear.
The hands that Charlotte had been using to pound Justin’s chest gradually clenched his shirt.
Justin’s palm rested on the back of Charlotte’s head, making himself her support.
But Charlotte’s emotions soon calmed down. She pushed hard with her hands, directly pushing Justin away, creating distance between them.
Justin hadn’t expected Charlotte to suddenly make such a move. He had relaxed his arms earlier, and now the entire man was pushed backwards staggeringly by Charlotte’s gentle force.
"Charlotte," Justin called out.
"Don’t call me that," Charlotte bluntly refused, "Get out."
"I won’t go, Charlotte, listen to me explain, you really mustn’t misunderstand, I didn’t do anything..."
There was an added tinge of anxiety in Justin’s tone; the usually meticulous man was suddenly flustered in explaining such a matter.
"Get out, this is the ladies’ restroom," Charlotte glanced at Justin.
Having known Justin for so long, Charlotte naturally knew what kind of person he was; she also believed that Justin would not have anything to do with that woman, Florienna Ellis.
"What?" Charlotte’s words made Justin taken aback.
Justin turned his head, only to see several female employees standing at the entrance of the restroom with embarrassed expressions. Upon realizing that Justin had turned their way, they quickly ducked out of sight.
For a moment, Justin’s complexion changed unpredictably. He took a deep breath, forcibly pulling his face into a stern look, and then stepped out of the restroom.
Michael Richard and Coco, who had hurried over, only saw Justin coming out of the ladies’ restroom.
A look of surprise flashed in both of their eyes as they stared at each other in horror.
Michael couldn’t help covering his eyes.
That was it, by tomorrow the whole company would probably know about their boss running into the ladies’ restroom.
"Stop looking; go back to work."
Michael coughed to signal the employees gathered outside to disperse and approached Justin, not knowing quite what to say.
Meanwhile, Justin turned his head and glared fiercely at Michael.
If it wasn’t for him letting that crazy woman into his office willy-nilly, how could such a situation have arisen?
And Coco, the bystander enjoying the drama, rolled her eyes.
Just then, Charlotte came out of the restroom.
