Robert was confused. "Henry, where are you going?"
Henry sneered. "To find that shameless woman and settle the account!"
Robert stared after him.
...
In the staff cafeteria, Charlotte was eating in the corner.
They had stir-fried king oyster mushrooms today.
Charlotte stared at the king oyster mushrooms for a long time and sighed helplessly.
It seemed that she and king oyster mushrooms were fated to meet today.
At that moment, there was a commotion in the cafeteria.
The President was here.
The President usually ate in a special cafeteria. This was the first time he had come to the employees' cafeteria.
Everyone suddenly looked over at him.
Robert walked behind him.
The two handsome guys walking through the cafeteria were ridiculously eye-catching.
The female employees looked at them with starstruck expressions.
Charlotte was eating with her head lowered.
She had just been released from the police station yesterday. She hadn't slept well, and she hadn't had the appetite for breakfast this morning. She had gotten hungry after she came to work.
Plus, the king oyster mushrooms were delicious. They were fragrant and tender.
Suddenly, a tall figure stopped in front of Charlotte.
Henry stared at Charlotte and saw that she was chewing king oyster mushrooms.
A dark expression flashed across his face.
This shameless woman had described him as a rotten king oyster mushroom, but now, she was eating king oyster mushrooms!
Ha!
It seemed that when she was in the office, this woman was actually quite willing, but she kept running away to put on an act!
She was good at playing hard to get.
He bent over, and his tone was sulky as he said, "You didn't get enough of me, so you came here to eat this stuff and make up for your regret?"
Upon hearing the sudden voice in her ear, Charlotte was startled.
As soon as she looked up, she saw the face to which the voice belonged.
He was shockingly handsome. His face was flawless.
But what he had just said almost made Charlotte spit out her rice.
Charlotte laboriously swallowed the food in her mouth, then drank water to moisturize her throat and suppress her shock.
But the man went on. "I heard that you told people everywhere in this company that you were born with amazing beauty and that even I am attracted to you?"
Puff!
Charlotte couldn't hold it back anymore. The water in her mouth sprayed out.
It sprayed all over Henry's face.
Henry froze.
Robert, who was about to walk forward, stopped, and his black eyes suddenly widened.
He had known Henry for many years, but this was the first time he had seen him look so embarrassed.
A woman had sprayed water right in his face!
...
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat when she saw the man's face go stiff.
She was done for!
She didn't want to offend this powerful President.
If she did, she would be kicked out of the Stevens Corporation, and where else would she go to find such a high-paying job?
She still had eight children to support!
Charlotte quickly took out a tissue and wiped his face. "President Stevens, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Don't be angry."
After wiping his face, Charlotte noticed that there were drops of water on Henry's shirt, and without thinking, she wiped them with a tissue as well.
There were more drops of water below that.
Charlotte wiped those, too.
As she was wiping them up, Charlotte noticed that something was wrong.
She was rubbing the man's trousers, and the position was awkward...
Charlotte's hand paused.
Suddenly, a condescending gaze fell on her and made her tremble.
She raised her head without thinking and saw Henry staring at her.
His eyes were sullen and domineering.
Charlotte laughed awkwardly and explained, "President Stevens, your pants also gotwet."
Henry's thin lips parted slightly, and he said, word by word, "You are wet."
...
Charlotte was stunned for a moment.
Was she wet?
No!
When she had sprayed all that water, she hadn't seemed to spray any on herself.
While Charlotte was feeling confused, she heard a chuckle.
She instinctively glanced over to find the source.
The man standing behind Henry was laughing.
He was very attractive, and his facial features were as handsome as Henry's.
Henry was more masculine, but this man was so pretty that...
He looked even more delicate than a woman.
Still, this man...
He appeared a bit familiar.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes.
A childish face came to mind.
It was that of Segundo.
All eight children were good-looking, but Segundo was the best-looking one.
He had fair skin, big black eyes, and eyelashes longer and thicker than a girl's.
A thought suddenly passed through Charlotte's mind.
How could Segundo look like this unfamiliar man?
She felt dizzy.
What was wrong with her?
It had been one thing when she had looked at Octavia that night.
But now, whenever she saw an unfamiliar man, she felt like he was the father of her babies.
She must be delusional.
She truly must be delusional.
Too many things must have happened in the past two days. It must have made her hallucinate.
When Henry saw Charlotte staring straight at Robert, he suddenly felt unhappy.
This woman!
Did she have to act so lovesick every time she saw a handsome man?
Henry's expression was dark. "Woman, am I not enough for you?" he asked. "Do you still have to look at other men?"
Charlotte paused.
She returned to her senses and said without thinking, "He doesn't look as good as you."
She wasn't trying to flatter Henry, but she felt so as soon as she spoke.
The man behind Henry was pretty good-looking but too feminine.
She didn't like that type of look very much.
A man like Henry, who was full of masculinity, was more in line with her aesthetics.
Upon hearing this, Henry's lips curved up imperceptibly.
His facial expression became much gentler. "Really? So that's why you were lusting over me," he said. "Just eating king oyster mushrooms was not enough to satisfy your lust, so you had to try to wipe my body?"
Charlotte said nothing at first.
She suddenly thought of him saying "you are wet" just now.
She hadn't understood his meaning at the time, but now she did.
Charlotte wanted to cry.
She was at her wits' end.
Why was the man in front of her so narcissistic?
She looked dejected as she answered, "I simply accidentally sprayed water on you."
"No, you did it on purpose," Henry said with certainty.
Charlotte did not respond.
She pursed her lips tightly.
Forget it. She wouldn't bother explaining anymore.
Suddenly, Henry's phone rang.
His assistant was calling to remind him that there will be a meeting soon.
Before leaving, he said to Charlotte, "You are not allowed to spread rumors through the company in the future! If I hear that you have..."
He didn't elaborate further and just smiled mirthlessly.
Charlotte immediately nodded vigorously.
Henry was satisfied. When he turned to leave, Robert gave Charlotte a meaningful look and followed Henry closely.
"Henry, is that what you meant when you said you would find the woman and settle the account?" Robert asked.
"Yep."
"Then why do I feel that you didn't come to find her to settle the account with her, but to flirt with her?" Robert raised his eyes to look at Henry.
Robert's eyes were almond-shaped, and the ends of his eyes were very long, like those of a fox.
Henry's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He stared at Robert. "Are you kidding me?"
Robert spread his hands. "I have known you for a long time," he said. "I have never seen you talk so much to a woman, and..."
Robert smiled and continued, "If it were any other woman, you would just fire her.
How could you chat with her for so long and even let her continue working at the company?"
...
Henry's handsome face was tightly drawn. He said coldly, "I'm keeping her at the company to see how thick her skin is!"
Robert said nothing.
Was Henry truly that bored?
Robert was sure that he wasn't!
He didn't think Henry and that little employee had an ordinary relationship.
He just hadn't expected that...
So many women, even drop-dead gorgeous celebrities, wanted to seduce Henry, but he was never moved. He never even glanced at them.
Once, there had even been a celebrity famous for her sexiness who had gone topless and writhed in front of Henry. That kind of temptation would have been irresistible for an ordinary man.
However, Henry pushed her away, and the celebrity fell to the ground. She bumped into the corner of a table, and her forehead started bleeding.
Such a man who seemed to have no interest in women was now treating a lowly employee differently?
Robert's beautiful eyes flashed with interest.
How fascinating!
Someday, he would have to meet the little employee to see what was so special about her.
...
Today was an eventful day for Charlotte.
She was a low-level employee who had been at the Stevens Corporation for just a few days, but she had become infamous in the office on this day.
First, it was rumored that she thought she was beautiful and invincible and that the President was attracted to her.
Then, it was said that her shamelessness had shocked the President, and he had personally come to set her straight.
In the end, wanting to touch the President's perfect body and his eight-pack abs, she had even sprayed water on him in public. Disregarding the fact that they were in the cafeteria, a public place, she had tried to seduce the President on the spot.
The President, who had always been cold and aloof, was so afraid of this astonishingly shameless woman that he had turned around and left.
When Charlotte heard these comments, she felt helpless.
Common sense was a good thing, but unfortunately, many people didn't have it.
After she finally got off work, she thought her mind could be at peace for a while, but unexpectedly, Jack's wife Caroline came to the entrance.
She was waiting at the company just for Charlotte.
Upon seeing Charlotte, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Murderer! You killed my husband! You must pay for my husband's death with your life! You have to go to the police station and confess your sins!"
Charlotte said nothing.
Because of her husband's death, Charlotte didn't want to fuss with her.
But Caroline was overbearing and kept shouting. "You shameless b*tch!" she yelled.
"It was bad enough that you tried to seduce my husband! You even killed him! How can there be such a cruel b*tch like you in the world?"
Charlotte's face darkened.
"Who are you talking about?" she asked. "With your husband's flat, toadlike face and beady eyes, how could I want to seduce him? Wouldn't I be out of my mind?"
"Of course you seduced him!" Caroline said, glaring at Charlotte fiercely. "My husband is the younger brother of the President's cousin. You were interested in my husband's status as the President's relative, so you wanted to get close to him!"
Charlotte didn't respond.
Why did people have such vivid imaginations nowadays?
Hearing Caroline's yelling, the people who had just gotten off work didn't go home.
They gathered around to watch the drama.
"Oh my God, Jack died! No wonder he hasn't come to work in the past two days!"
"You're slow on the uptake. I heard on the news a long time ago that he died. He was killed in a hotel!"
"Did Charlotte really kill him? She has only been at the company for a few days. She couldn't possibly have anything to do with Jack, right?"
"If it wasn't her who killed him, why would the wife come here? Charlotte failed to seduce him, so she murdered him in cold blood!"
"What won't that kind of person do? She openly tried to seduce the President in the staff cafeteria! She is still spreading lies about her beauty everywhere as if she thinks that all the men in the company are interested in her!"
The discussion stopped suddenly.
A tall figure had appeared.
It was Henry.
The crowd of onlookers automatically made way for Hen
Upon seeing him, Caroline was also excited.
