Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game-Chapter 499: Did I owe him something in my past life?
"Liar, you little liar..." Atlas Hallow’s palm slowly moved up from her waist, at the position of her heart there was a familiar heartbeat rhythm, only a bit faster, a bit anxious and somewhat flustered.
"If you weren’t worried, how would your heartbeat be this fast?" Atlas Hallow asked quietly.
"Talking is talking, don’t take advantage of me." Charlotte Miller bit her lip, the slight sting keeping her clear-headed.
"This isn’t taking advantage, it’s called being unable to resist." Atlas Hallow laughed softly.
"Being unable to resist is just an excuse to take advantage." Charlotte Miller pulled Atlas Hallow’s hand away from her chest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Atlas Hallow looked at Charlotte Miller’s office, not as big as his but enough, he pointed to a corner of her office: "Prepare me a desk here, and also prepare an office for Daniel Parker."
Charlotte Miller glared at Atlas Hallow, a look of disbelief: "What are you talking about?"
Did she just hear wrong, Atlas Hallow said to prepare a desk for him in her office, and also an office for Daniel Parker.
Was his intention to work in the same office with her and also bring Daniel Parker along?
"This is my office, Atlas Hallow are you out of your mind?" If his face didn’t look normal, Charlotte Miller would want to touch his forehead to see whether he had a high fever.
"That’s why I’m coming." She always gave him too little time, so he had to fight for more, letting Charlotte know more about what kind of man he is, he’s not as bad as she imagined, right?
Atlas Hallow happily gave Charlotte Miller a soft kiss on her face, his brows relaxed, like a breeze passing by...
Charlotte Miller stood there, truly a bit unable to react.
What to do if you meet a rogue?
Days that seemed calm actually hid many waves.
XX network’s stock price was cut in half, then continued to fall, never rising again. Every website that reported about Mia posted apology letters with their largest layouts and paid full compensation, Charlotte Miller donated all these compensations to a children’s charity fund.
But the person who took the photos and leaked Mia’s and Atlas Hallow’s relationship to the media remained hidden, quietly evading this disaster.
It seemed all websites and media were protecting this person, but who could it be?
Atlas Hallow was likely to dig it out, he was now quietly, imperceptibly, not like his usual character.
"Charlotte, even I’ve heard some news, Eleanor Davis has a strong backing, probably someone behind her spoke up." Charlotte was very curious if it was Eleanor Davis who leaked the information, but it should be her, nine out of ten times.
Could it really be because Eleanor Davis has a solid backing that makes Atlas Hallow hold back, Charlotte truly didn’t understand this time.
Because at that time Mia was photographed, making Mia extra cautious when going out, no matter how good Foster Manor was, Atlas Hallow sent over many fun things, but couldn’t always keep Mia in that courtyard. Just thinking someone exposed Mia’s identity, Charlotte wished she could bite a chunk off the culprit.
Moreover, if the wrongdoer doesn’t receive a lesson, doesn’t suffer enough, trouble will arise again, because she would think there’s nothing to it, someone would pay for her actions.
"Let’s not talk about this now, have you chosen your honeymoon location?" Charlotte asked Annie Gray, who was about to get married, but couldn’t see the shy joy a new bride should have on her face, but there was more serene stability than before.
Perhaps women really don’t need a man who looks excellent on the outside.
Like Joseph Shaw, appearing handsome, successful in career, impeccable family background, highly educated with high intelligence to outsiders, nothing amiss but he just wasn’t good to Annie Gray.
Keeping such a seemingly perfect yet indifferent man, it would be better as Annie Gray said, marry a reliable man, have a lovely child, and live out what would have been a lonely life.
She truly envied Charlotte Miller because during their breaks from work, they were almost always talking about her daughter Mia, Charlotte radiates a calm and loving glow when speaking about her daughter, surpassing any charm she exudes when she’s spirited and decisive at work.
