Second Marriage

Chapter 41 You Like Him

Why? Charlotte was tongue-tied. “I...”

No, Kennedy only knew she went out, but it did not mean he know what she did, she should be calm.

Charlotte took a deep breath to calm herself and said, “I went out to do some shopping.”

“How should you be fined since you left the company to buy something during working hours?”

Charlotte wanted to say something.

Nathan took a look at her and explained, “The Moore Group has a rule that employee must not leave

during working hours without permission from your superior. Assistant Wilson, your superior is Mr.

Kennedy. If you leave the company without permission from him, you must deduct a month's salary as

a warning.”

Charlotte could not help staring at him.

“Deduct a month's salary?” But she had only been working for a few days.

It meant that she could not have the salary for a long time.

“Yes, Assistant Wilson, it's company policy.”

Charlotte looked at Kennedy and said. “Sorry, I don't know it. Can you...”

“No!” Kennedy was decisive and resolute, not giving her any chance.

Well, it was her fault. She left the company without permission. And it was the company's policy that

employees were treated equally, so she had nothing to complain about.

After thinking this over, Charlotte lowered her eyes and looked at her toes without defending herself.

In a sealed space, when they were quiet, even each other's breathing sound could be heard. That she

did not explain let Kennedy surprised, but later he thought he understood.

How could such a peacockish woman care about a month's salary?

If she didn't tell the truth, there would be always a time to tell the truth.

When they were out of the elevator, Charlotte saw Nathan and Kennedy leave, and then went to the

door of the company. Diana was waiting for her in her car. She walked to her happily.

She opened the door to get in the car. When Charlotte fastened seat belt, Diana asked, “Is that your

husband's car?”

Charlotte looked up and saw Kennedy’s car coming out of the parking lot. “Well, he's not my husband,”

she nodded.

“You have been married.”

“You know the half-year agreement. It's just a trade marriage.”

Diana supported her cheek with hands, “Trade marriage works, but I heard Mr. Kennedy seems to

be....”

Charlotte paused and looked at Diana.

“Why? You understand what I mean, don't you?”

Charlotte, “......”

Diana gathered together mysteriously, “Do you have sex since you got married with him?”

Charlotte blushed and bit her lower lip. “No.”

“I told you, the rumors should be true.”

“Dian, don't be nonsense. It is impossible.”

“Why? There's no smoke without fire. You're married. Would he have kept you till now if he had no

problem?”

“There's a reason.” Charlotte lowered her eyes, so that people could not see clearly the emotion under

her eyes. “He does not like me, and it is normal not to touch me. We cannot judge that he has a

problem.”

“Why do you speak for him?” Diana showed her hand, “do you like him?”

Charlotte's eyes widened in an instant. “No!”

How could she like a man who spoke so wickedly and mocked her at every opportunity!

“Then why do you speak for him? And besides, it is good for you if he has a problem, so that you

wouldn't have to worry about losing yourself to him. Oh, the button has clue now.”

“So soon?” Charlotte was surprised.

Diana showed a proud smile, “What do you think the Nelson family is? Grapevine is a piece of cake.”

“What did you get?”

“In fact, buttons are common. At first, my brother scolded me severely when he heard that I wanted to

check about buttons. He felt that finding people by this clue was totally unreliable. But after seeing the

button, he found the quality of the button is super good and it would not be used in the ordinary

clothes.”

Diana gave a mysterious smile to Charlotte, and then fell her eyes on her abdomen.

“The father of your baby must be a rich man.”

Charlotte's eyelids twitched.

“That's all I've heard so far, and the rest... My brother said, you have to bring the button for him to make

sure, after all, the photo is not real. He needs to see the button to find out more details. Do you have it

with you?”

Charlotte shook her head.

That button was still under Kennedy’s bed.

“No? You don't take something this important with you?”

“I found it last night. I'll go back and get it for you tomorrow.”

“Well, then, remember to bring it out tomorrow. When I find the father of your baby, you can dump

Kenney.”

“Actually Kennedy is not a bad man, you...” Charlotte paused, but she did not go on.

“I know he's not a bad man, but he's not a good man to you. He knows that you're not Christina and

that you have an ex-husband, as well as that you have a baby in your belly. To you, he's a dangerous

man, okay?”

Charlotte nodded. “Yes.”

“Be careful and protect yourself and your baby. I will get the news for you as soon as possible and let

you know in time.”

“Diana, thank you.”

Charlotte bit her lower lip. “Nice to have you.”

Diana snorted, “Don’t be melodramatic!” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Charlotte hugged her.

“I'll take you back first.”

“Ok.”

So Diana sent Charlotte to the door of the Moore family. Charlotte got off and went upstairs directly.

On the way back she had been thinking of Diana's words, so she was absent-minded. She found a

maid was cleaning when she was reached the door.

Charlotte did not pay attention to her. When she walked into the room, she found that Kennedy had not

come back, so she quickly put down her bag and lay down beside the bed.

It almost frightened Charlotte out of her wits.

The button was missing!

Charlotte suddenly thought of the maid who was cleaning. Could she have taken it?

With this in mind, Charlotte jumped up and walked quickly toward the door.

Not far away were two maids talking.

“This button is found in Mr. Kennedy’s room. Please ask him if it is his.”
