Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125 My Sister-in-Law
Justin Battleson pressed both hands on Charlotte Thompson’s waist and began to tickle her.
Charlotte’s waist was always a sensitive spot, and one tease from Justin had her laughing uncontrollably.
She pushed against Justin trying to break free, but Justin pinned her down firmly, allowing Charlotte to flail about in his arms.
"Stop it, Justin..."
Charlotte laughed so hard she was gasping for air, her skin flushing a delicate pink, and her eyes misting over.
She pressed down on Justin’s hands that were still on her waist and leaned softly into his embrace, breathing.
Justin’s gaze was tender, as he bowed his head and kissed the top of Charlotte’s hair.
After leaning in Justin’s arms for a while, Charlotte regained her strength, then stood up from his lap, and this time, Justin did not stop her.
Once the playfulness had passed, they returned to their original discussion.
"I’ve communicated multiple times with XTZ, and the few design drafts I’ve sent over were well received; I think this collaboration should go smoothly."
If this collaboration succeeded, it could solidify Riley Group’s standing in the fashion industry.
This clearly illustrated just how crucial this collaboration was for the Riley Group.
"You’ve worked hard, busy for so long." Justin nodded towards Charlotte.
"It’s not hard; this is what I should be doing," Charlotte said with a smile to Justin.
At that moment, the voice of the assistant came from the doorway of the office.
"Come in."
Justin responded, and after the assistant entered, he spoke.
"Mr. Battleson, there is someone claiming to be Leon Battleson asking to see you."
Hearing the name Leon Battleson, Justin looked startled.
Charlotte was naturally familiar with that name too; wasn’t that Justin’s brother?
"Is he downstairs in the company now?" Justin stood up, his voice tinged with a hint of coldness.
The assistant nodded.
"Let him come up then."
Charlotte also turned her gaze towards Justin at this point.
"Didn’t I tell you before that I wanted you to meet Leon one day? I didn’t expect the opportunity would come so soon, but he’s a bit odd, try not to mind him too much," Justin spoke coldly.
Charlotte composed her expression; she had always heard about Justin’s brother Leon from him and didn’t expect to meet him so soon.
Before long, the assistant led the person up.
"Brother, seeing you is really not easy."
A voice tinged with a smile came from the doorway, and naturally, Charlotte’s gaze shifted immediately toward it.
She saw a young man in a red shirt enter, his hair somewhat long, contrasting with his pale, slightly brooding face.
From the contours of his brow and eyes, one could make out some resemblance to Justin, but his features were not as refined as Justin’s, and even bore an aura that made him somewhat difficult to approach.
When Leon stepped into the office, his gaze was fixed on Justin, but unexpectedly, there was another person in the office.
His eyes flicked to the side, and seeing Charlotte standing not too far away, a spark flickered in his pupils, and his steps initially directed towards Justin abruptly shifted towards Charlotte.
"So you’re Miss Charlotte Thompson, my sister-in-law?"
Leon directed a brilliant smile towards Charlotte, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth.
