Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: The Love between the Gentleman and His Lady
"Haha..."
Charlotte curled herself into a ball, with both hands protecting her stomach, her eyes slightly reddened, a sight that could not help but inspire feelings of tenderness.
Justin Battleson lowered his head to kiss Charlotte’s brows and eyes, his movements gentle and affectionate.
"Childish."
Charlotte pushed Justin’s cheek away with her hand, her fingertips playfully poking at his soft skin.
"It seems someone still hasn’t learned their lesson."
Justin tilted his head slightly to catch Charlotte’s fingertip in his mouth, not biting hard, yet it made Charlotte quickly withdraw her hand with a ticklish sensation.
"You just know how to bully me!" Charlotte looked up at the face of Justin, which was inches away from hers, and muttered under her breath.
"I couldn’t bear to."
Justin’s voice grew even deeper, as he gazed downwards, his eyes sliding from Charlotte’s eyes to her brows and then finally resting on her bright red, juicy lips.
Justin’s throat moved up and down, he propped himself up on both sides of Charlotte’s body, slowly leaning closer.
Just as their lips were about to meet, Charlotte’s cellphone lying on the table suddenly rang.
Startled, Charlotte raised her head unconsciously and bumped into Justin’s forehead.
"Ouch."
Charlotte winced in pain, she pushed on Justin’s chest to signal him to rise, and she climbed up from the couch and picked up the phone from the table to answer it.
"Wow, you two are really going all out showing off your love on the company’s dime, making sure all the single dogs in the world don’t have a good day, huh?"
The voice on the phone was none other than Zara Ward, teasingly reminding Charlotte of the scene that had just occurred in the live broadcast, which made Charlotte feel a bit embarrassed.
"You always make fun of me every single day," Charlotte couldn’t help but retort.
"The outfits have all been finished, and Elijah Walker and I are so free now we’ve started brewing tea. If I don’t tease you, what else can I do? Tell me, big-shot designer Charlotte, when do you plan to come over and check the final products? Didn’t you say you would come right after the live broadcast? Why are you still lost in lovey-dovey land?"
After hearing Zara’s words, Charlotte suddenly realized that she had indeed said she would go to Melissa Tanner’s studio right after the interview to look at the final results but then completely forgot about it.
Charlotte gave a glare to Justin, the culprit sitting next to her, promised Zara that she would be there soon, and hurriedly prepared to head to Melissa Tanner’s studio.
"I’m going to Melissa’s place now."
Charlotte stood up and instructed Justin, but Justin looked at her with raised eyebrows and his voice began to sound forlorn.
"You’re leaving so soon? I haven’t had much time with you yet..."
Seeing this, Charlotte quickly stepped in front of Justin and left a kiss on his cheek.
But how could the big bad wolf let the little white rabbit go so easily once she approached willingly?
He hooked Charlotte’s chin directly and captured her lips in a kiss, only letting her go after a long while, satisfied.
"Be careful," Justin said with a smile brimming on his face.
With her lips slightly reddened, Charlotte glared at Justin, but it was more coquettish than anything.
Then, she walked out of Justin’s office.
The distance between Riley Group and Melissa Tanner’s studio wasn’t too far; Charlotte didn’t take long to reach her destination by car.
As Charlotte arrived upstairs, just as Zara had said on the phone, she and Elijah Walker were indeed facing each other, savoring tea and playing chess.
