Chapter 141 You Are So Cute

Charlotte grabbed her messy hair and sat on the bed, letting her mind wander for a while before getting up to wash up.

Eloise had made an appointment with Charlotte to attend Cecilia's birthday party at 4 p.m. Only Cecilia's friends and classmates were invited, without any elders present, so they didn't have to be too formal.

Magnolia followed Charlotte all the way, wagging its tail in a particularly ingratiating manner. Charlotte fed it some dog biscuits and started working on the test papers from school. Cora brought a bowl of fruit smoothie over and said, "Ms. Lopez, have some food."

Charlotte turned around and smiled, "Cora, you can just call me by my name. There's no need to be so formal."

Cora smiled and said, "Alright, then from now on, I'll call you Char."

Charlotte nodded and took a sip of the fruit smoothie. It was sweet and incredibly delicious.

Nelson wasn't at home today, and it was Waylon who escorted Charlotte out. When Eloise saw her cousin, Waylon, she immediately put on a well-behaved expression that she had never shown in front of her father. "Waylon."

Waylon responded with a grunt, "Take good care of Ms. Lopez."

Eloise nodded quickly, "Don't worry. I will! Char is my good friend!"

Waylon rarely patted Eloise's head, "Good girl."

Eloise hadn't fully savored the moment before Waylon continued with a smile, "If anything happens to Ms. Lopez, all your cards will be frozen."

Eloise: "..." No, how could Waylon treat her like this!

After Waylon left, Eloise suddenly grabbed Charlotte's hand, which startled Charlotte. "Eloise?"

Eloise looked at her with a serious expression, "Do you know what I'm holding in my hand?"

Charlotte replied, "... Well, it's my hand."

Eloise shook her head, "No! This is no longer your hand; it's all my cards and pocket money!"

Charlotte: "..."

Ms. Wesley attached great importance to the level of her birthday party. Her birthday was actually not today but tomorrow. As the 18th coming-of-age ceremony was a significant event, Ms. Wesley's family would undoubtedly host a grand celebration for her. Therefore, Ms. Wesley moved the date one day earlier and specifically invited her close friends. The venue was arranged in a recently opened PUB ROCK. And according to Eloise, the PUB ROCK belonged to the Wesley family, so Ms. Wesley booked the entire venue for the occasion.

Charlotte had never been to a place like PUB ROCK before, so she looked around curiously. However, she didn't have the chance to witness the wild scenes of people dancing and reveling, as Ms. Wesley had booked the entire venue for private use, making it look quite empty.

Eloise led Charlotte to the largest VIP room on the top floor directly. When the door opened, they were greeted with deafening music. Cecilia, wearing a birthday hat, was waiting for them at the entrance. She was in a good mood today, and her usually aloof face now carried a smile. She pinched Charlotte's cheek and said, "Hey."

Charlotte smiled back, "Happy birthday."

"Thanks." Cecilia led them to a small sofa and said, "There are quite a few people here. I might not be able to spend time with you all the time. There's food over there; help yourselves."

Eloise made an OK gesture and pushed Cecilia, "Go ahead. They are waiting for you."

"Cecilia might seem aloof and distant on regular days, but today, there were truly many people attending her birthday party. At a rough estimate, there were over a hundred guests." Charlotte remarked.

Eloise replied, "It is only natural. Although Cecilia can be a bit snobbish at times, she is very loyal and straightforward with people, which is why she is so well-liked. Moreover, she is Ms. Wesley, and countless people are eager to flatter her. I'm telling you, there are already many people who want to attend today's birthday party. Tomorrow, when the Wesley family hosts the coming-of-age ceremony for her, I can't imagine how many people will be scrambling for an invitation."

Charlotte responded with a grunt and asked, "So are these... Are these people here just to flatter her?"

"Not necessarily. Look at whom Cecilia talks to; those are the ones who genuinely care for her." Eloise replied.

As Eloise said that, her eyes suddenly lit up. She stood up and said to Charlotte, "Char, I just saw a classmate from junior high school. I'll go over there for a moment."

Charlotte nodded, "Sure."

Charlotte sat alone on the sofa, observing the hustle and bustle of the crowd. She felt that the noisy atmosphere was like fragile paper lanterns that could be torn apart with a single poke. She couldn't understand why so many people were endlessly enjoying themselves in the noisy environment.

"Hi." Suddenly, a male voice sounded.

Charlotte looked up and saw a man sitting next to her, smiling at her. "I'm Colin. What about you?"

Charlotte was puzzled. Why did this person suddenly sit next to her?

Out of politeness, she nodded and said, "Hello."

Charlotte didn't tell him her name, but Colin didn't seem discouraged and continued, "Are you also a friend of Ms. Wesley?"

Charlotte replied, "We're classmates."

"Oh, so you're still in school," Colin said, "I graduated from college last year and now I'm interning at my family's company."

Colin was dressed in a suit and looked handsome. He had a gentle smile, giving off the aura of a friendly older brother. However, Charlotte didn't like him inexplicably. And she didn't know how to chat with strangers. After a moment's silence, she managed to utter a simple "Oh."

Colin chuckled, "You're really adorable."

Charlotte felt speechless. Was there something wrong with this person?

Colin snapped his fingers, and a passing waiter immediately approached. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Colin took two glasses of wine from the tray and handed one to Charlotte, "Have a drink?"

Charlotte shook her head and said, "I... I don't drink."

Colin said, "Come on, you can learn. You'll need to drink in such situations in the future. It's better to practice now than regret it later." He nudged the glass forward, "Just give it a try. It's sweet

champagne."

Charlotte still shook her head, "No, I really don't drink."

Colin's smile froze for a moment, then he stood up and said, "Sorry, I'll go to the restroom."

Charlotte: "..." He could just go. There was no need to tell her.

As soon as Colin turned around, his expression darkened. A few playboys not far away were smoking, and when they saw Colin coming, they all laughed, "Eh? Mr. Derek actually failed?"

"Come on! That girl's dress is unbelievably tacky, and you can barely see her face clearly. Mr. Derek, what do you like about her?"

Someone teased, "Don't you know Mr. Derek? He's not just into pretty faces; he likes girls with flawless skin. That girl's skin is as smooth as ice and snow, isn't it?"

Colin felt irritated and lit a cigarette, "She's not falling for it."

"No way. She looks like a country bumpkin. How could she know these tricks?"

Colin glanced back at Charlotte, who was still sitting obediently on the couch like a little baby, not moving much. When he saw her flawless complexion, he became infatuated again, and he was determined not to let go of this gorgeous creature.

"Mr. Derek, why don't you play hardball with her? We'll help you drag her to the restroom," someone said, with a lecherous grin.
