Charlotte barely had time to shut the door behind her when a loud, excited scream erupted from the living room.
"Congratulations, future Mrs. Grayson!" Lena shouted, her voice echoing through the small apartment.
She was practically bouncing on her feet, a wide grin plastered on her face.
Charlotte flinched at the sudden outburst, pressing a hand to her chest. "Lena! You scared the life out of me!"
But Lena wasn't fazed. She rushed to Charlotte, grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her gently.
"Do you even realize what just happened? Your face—your face—is everywhere! You and Ethan Grayson! I mean, CEO Ethan Grayson!"
Charlotte rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.
"You're unbelievable," she muttered under her breath, walking past Lena and sinking into the couch.
Her frown was as prominent as ever, her body slumping with exhaustion.
