Second Marriage

Chapter 43 Caught in the Middle

“I just went out on a few errands.” When the chips were down, Charlotte told herself that she could not

tell him! That was Mr. Reynold's command. If she told him, the relationship between Mr. Reynold and

Kennedy would become even worse.

Thinking of this, Charlotte pursed her lips and denied.

“Oh.” Kennedy narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “I'll give you one last chance, say it!”

His voice was cold and harsh. Charlotte bit her lower lip. “I just went out to buy something,” she said.

You have already deducted my salary of a month, I have objection. So you have no need to know what

I have done.”

Kennedy narrowed his eyes, staring at her. “Say it again.”

“No!” she said as she backed out, clutching her cellphone.

Kennedy frowned, “Where are you goind?”

“Stay away from you!”

With that, Charlotte turned and ran out of the room.

She quickly ran out of the room and was ready to find maid. When she looked back and found Kennedy

did not catch up, she was relieved. She took out the phone and found that Diana had sent her a

message.

Diana: I am on my way, wait for my good news.

It seemed that Diana was sure she would get it, so Charlotte felt that she should not be worried.

She stayed outside for a long time, waiting for a call from Diana.

Then Diana called her, “Done, don’t worry.”

Charlotte was excited and asked in a low voice, “Have you got it?”

“Yes. Do you want me to take a picture for you?”

“No, but... How did you do that? Will you be discovered?”

“Don't worry. Take a rest. You know what to do when people ask you a question, right? That's it. I gotta

go!”

Diana hung up the phone. Charlotte stood in situ. Diana had been always good at it, she thought it

would come to an end.

The maid who had cleaned the room came up panting.

“Missus.”

Seeing her, Charlotte put away her phone and looked calmly.

“What's the matter?”

The maid's face was so flustered and she bit her lower lip. “Missus, I... I'm sorry! Lydia told me that she

accidentally lost your button.”

Charlotte frowned. “What do you mean? It is lost?”

“She accidentally crashed with someone on the way back from shopping. Everything fell to the ground,

but she got things back but the button.”

Crash...

With a sharp leap of his eyelids, Charlotte stepped forward. “Did she get hurt?”

The maid was so startled that she stammered, “No, no, it's just things dropped.”

Charlotte was relieved to hear this.

Diana scared her to death. How dare she make a crash? She was frenzied!

“Missus, Lydia didn't hurt, but she lost your button. What should we do?” The maid had not forgotten

that one maid got fired because she spilled milk on Missus. When she left, she said a lot of bad things

about Charlotte.

So now in the maid's eyes, Charlotte had a deterrent force.

“Never mind.” Charlotte frowned, thought for a long time, and then calmed down again, “It is just a

button.”

“But... Isn't that button very important to you?”

“It is, but your safety is also important. I can’t punish you for a button. Forget it, but you are not allowed

to mention it again. Or, I will think of it.”

The maid nodded, “Don't worry. I certainly won't mention it again. I will tell Lydia about it. Thank for

sparing us, Missus.”

The second day

Early in the morning, Charlotte was asked to go to Mr. Reynold's study.

“How are you getting on with what I asked you to do yesterday?”

Charlotte replied. “The other side refused to talk when they heard that I am from the Moore Group.”

Mr. Reynold frowned, “What? So Gerald Carter refuses to cooperate with Moore Group?”

Charlotte did not answer. Mr. Reynold thought for a moment, “It must be because the Moore Group

does not want to cooperate with then, so they are unpleased. Christina, send a gift to him and tell him,

Kennedy can’t call the shot.”

Charlotte bit her lower lip and said nothing.

“Do you hear me?”

The voice of Mr. Reynold suddenly became shrill, which made Charlotte jumped up and nodded her

head.

“Yes, Mr. Reynold.”

Because of the past experience, Charlotte did not dare to go out without asking for leave today, for fear

that she would be deducted one more month's salary again, and then she would really become a

pauper.

So Charlotte went to the office to find Kennedy’s approval.

But Kennedy refused her without even raising his eyelids.

“No.”

Hearing this, Charlotte was puzzled. “No? Why?”

Kennedy ignored her, with his eyes falling on the document.

Charlotte bit her lower lip and took two steps forward. “Mr. Kennedy, I really need to go out for a while

on something very important.”

“I said no.”

“Why?”

“Get out!”

“Kennedy Moore!”

Bang!

Kennedy was angry, put down the file in hand and pat on the desk, making a sound.

It stood out in a quiet office.

So Charlotte stopped speaking. They stared at each other.

Finally, Charlotte had to give in and walked out of the office.

After she left the office, Charlotte was so angry. It was difficult to be a human being between them.

Now what? Charlotte was distressed that Mr. Reynold asked her to send a gift? But she did not have

savings. Gerald was the president of the Carter Group, so the gift must be expensive.

If she failed to do so, she could not explain to Mr. Reynold.

Charlotte was upset to think of it.

The got up and went to the office again.

At the moment she knocked at the door, Kennedy’s angry roar was heard.

“Fuck off!!”

Another failure!

Forget it, it did not work. She could try to meet him in the Carter Group when she was off work.

Having made up her mind, Charlotte did not disturb Kennedy again.

When it was time to get off work, Charlotte packed her things and left the company quickly. Then she

took a bus to the Carter Group.

“Mr. Kennedy, Assistant Wilson left after work.”
