Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen-Chapter 777: Have you figured out how to please me?
She hoped that Robert Stephens and Ryan’s relationship could improve, and then Ryan would continue his friendship with Edward Stephens.
But the situation wasn’t looking great now.
Robert Stephens was somehow acting like a lit firecracker, targeting Ryan; while Edward also showed no interest in Ryan.
When taking Ryan to the hospital, they rode in separate cars, she and Robert were in one, and Ryan in the other.
The man refused to go to work today, instead taking a Mac to work in the car, staying silent all the way.
Watching Robert Stephens going through page after page of documents without pausing to rest, Charlotte Smith hesitated and softly called him, "Robert."
Robert Stephens’ eyebrows were narrow and delicate, his dark eyes focused on the screen, after hearing, he did not look up, only responded faintly.
"Edward needs a study companion."
Robert Stephens raised his head, glancing at her.
Charlotte Smith lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Could you let..."
Robert Stephens interrupted her: "Do you know how many people from renowned families want to accompany Edward in his studies now?"
Charlotte Smith, hearing his tone, understood what he meant.
He wouldn’t let Ryan into the Stephens family.
She murmured softly, lowered her head, and stayed silent.
A faint "click" sound came from beside her, as the man closed his laptop.
A cold pale hand reached over, gently pinching her delicate chin, lifting her face.
"What are you thinking?"
Charlotte Smith shook her head.
"Are you angry?"
"No."
Robert Stephens slowly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Charlotte for a while before saying: "If you want to use connections to get your brother into my family, you need to show your sincerity."
Charlotte Smith couldn’t help but look at him upon hearing this.
The man said: "If you sweet-talk me well enough, I might make an exception."
Charlotte Smith gradually widened her eyes, understanding a bit from Robert Stephens’ tone.
"Have you thought about how to sweet-talk me?"
"Robert..." Charlotte Smith softly called him, bit her lower lip, and extended her hand, gently placing it on the man’s slender fingers resting on his knee.
His fingers were white and slender, radiating an air of refined elegance from years of privilege; she carefully grasped them, then leaned in to kiss his gracefully shaped, pale lips.
As her lips met his, a small blush appeared on Charlotte’s cheek, her dense eyelashes fluttered, she opened her eyes to observe the man’s expression before her.
Leaning back in the leather seat, the man showed no particular reaction; his eyes open, watched her expression, leisurely raising his hand to gently stroke the back of her neck, like petting a tamed animal.
"What’s with your expression?" he asked, "You wouldn’t think that just a kiss would allow your brother to come in, right? Your brother seems not very bright, being with Edward would only hold him back; if you want to abuse your position, then show some sincerity."
Charlotte suddenly lifted her head, "Ryan is very smart!"
Otherwise, Edward wouldn’t trust him to manage the company in the future.
Robert Stephens scoffed, disdainfully turning his head to look out the window.
Charlotte bit her lip staring at him, she really wanted to tell Robert that she wanted Ryan to connect with Edward for Edward’s future benefit, not because of any selfish "abuse of position" as he said.
"What exactly do you want before letting Ryan study with Edward?"
Robert Stephens slowly retracted his gaze, resting it on her face, supported his face with one hand, said seriously: "Wait till your period is over, I want to do it once in the car."
