As Natalie left, Charlotte shut her door and went back to sleep. It was a cold early Sunday, and she didn't want to be disturbed.
At 1:00 PM sharp, her phone pierced the air. It was an alarm call titled "Meeting with Raymond."
Last week, she and Raymond decided to set up a meeting. Charlotte wanted to get more information about Sebastian and Grace, while Raymond wanted help getting Natalie to come to terms with her feelings.
"Get up, Charlotte," she pushed herself from the bed. She was tired due to overworking herself to get Sebastian off her mind.
She swiftly freshened up and dressed, then left her room.
Outside, Natalie stood, lost in thought, until Charlotte appeared before her.
"Where are you off to?" She asked, arms crossed, a hint of a smile on her face.
Charlotte's smile wavered, rubbing her neck nervously. "To see Mr. Sebastian," she replied, the words tasting like a lie.
