359 From the start
Johan chuckled. “I know that you have liked Christian since you were a child, Miss.”
“Who told you this? Who was the one to speak presumptuously to you?” shrieked Charlotte panicked, her pride disturbed when soone found out that she had been after Christian since childhood and had not been able to get him. “Tell who dares to speak like that, I’ll tear his mouth to pieces!!”
Seeing Charlotte’s drastic change in emotion made Johan smile with satisfaction, Johan managed to read one of Charlotte’s aces. Besides being so arrogant, apparently Charlotte has a very high self-esteem. Charlotte will be so angry when her pride is disturbed. Unknowingly Charlotte has shown one more weakness to Johan.
“Suri Mireya Clarke.” Johan said Suri’s na so slowly, deliberately igniting the fire of hatred inside Charlotte even more. “I found out that you loved Christian from Suri’s childhood.”
“S.. Suri,” Charlotte hissed with emotion.
“Yes, Suri told everything. If it wasn’t from Suri then where would I know? anwhile, the only one who knows your feelings since childhood is Suri,” said Johan again.
Silence..
Charlotte who was so angry was dissolved in her anger, she locked her lips tightly. In her heart, Charlotte threw her curse at Suri who had dared to divulge her secret to others.
“Do I just need to stay by Christian’s side without doing anything?” asked Charlotte suddenly.
.....
Johan who was busy feeding the fish in the lake imdiately turned to Charlotte quickly, he almost dropped the box containing fish food from his hand because he was too shocked.
“Is that all I need to do?” asked Charlotte again impatiently.
Johan swallowed. “So you are willing to accept the cooperation I gave?”
“Charlotte, from now on just call by my na. I feel uncomfortable with the formal nickna you give .” Instead of answering Johan’s question, Charlotte actually said sothing else.
“Eh?”
“Shouldn’t we as co-workers eliminate social strata, huh?” Charlotte said again full of arrogance, even though she asked Johan to ntion her na directly, Charlotte still showed her higher social status. “That’s why I want you to call by my na directly.”
Johan clenched his fists, holding back his anger. The subtle sarcasm Charlotte gave him was so painful. If he wasn’t on an important mission, Johan might have thrown a slap in the face of Charlotte’s scathing mouth.
Johan extended his hand towards Charlotte. “Then from now on we have officially beco partners.”
Charlotte didn’t move, her gaze fixed on Johan’s right hand that was stretched out to her.
“Ok, we’re officially working together,” Charlotte answered quickly, as quickly as her hand moved Johan’s hand down from the air. Charlotte blatantly refuses to shake hands with Johan. “Your hands are dirty, you just fed the fish. I don’t want the germs from the fish food to pass to my hands.”
Johan smiled a little, trying to hold himself back a little longer. Right now he needs Charlotte’s help and Johan must not fail.
“Sorry, I forgot,” said Johan with a smile.
Charlotte tossed her long hair elegantly. “Okay I’m going into the house now, I don’t want anyone to see our togetherness like this. I don’t want people to think bad things about us.”
After saying that, Charlotte then hurriedly left the lake. Charlotte who keeps her good na in front of the Clarke family doesn’t want anyone to see her with another man, before getting Christian who is currently infatuated with another girl, Charlotte wants to show her image as a good girl to all Clarke family mbers . Especially to Anne and Jack.
After learning about Anne and Jack’s love story from her father, Charlotte tries hard to beco the sa person as Anne. That innocent yet kind girl who was so sincere to everyone when she was young tens of years ago, that’s why Charlotte tried to avoid Johan.
“Only I deserve to be Mrs. Clarke, only ,” Charlotte said in her heart, Charlotte stopped in her tracks when she accidentally saw Suri and Areez hugging. “You have to pay for all the stupid things you have done, Suri. Wait for my revenge, when I succeed in becoming your brother’s wife, I will make your life a living hell.”

Seeing Zwetta wipe her lips with a handkerchief makes Christian smile, after not easy coercion Zwetta finally finishes all her food.
“Can you talk already?”
Christian raises both hands in the air. “I haven’t finished my al, Zee”
“Tsk, it’s been so long!”
“We’ll talk in five minutes, now I’ll finish your dessert first,” Christian says quietly, his smile widening when he sees a waiter serving dessert.
Knowing Zwetta’s appetite, Christian deliberately ordered his favorite foods today. Christian is absolutely determined to right all his wrongs with Zwetta and it will all start today.
“I don’t like sweets full of fat like this.” Zwetta shoved the dessert the waitress had just given her towards Christian. “I don’t like sweets like this.”
“Don’t like it, why don’t you like it?”
“Besides being able to make my weight go up quickly, eating sweet foods like this makes sleepy,” answered Zwetta honestly, one of the disciplinary rules that Robin applies is forbidding everyone to eat sweet foods such as desserts that the waiter just served a mont ago. that.
Christian who had finished eating then pushed his empty plate to the side and imdiately grabbed the plate containing the dessert in front of him.
“This is the best dessert in this restaurant, the lava cake is a best seller. Not too sweet and fatty like you said earlier,” Christian said softly, explaining the dessert in front of him patiently. “Try a little, you’ll like it.”
“No thanks.”
Christian pursed his lips, seeing the refusal given by Zwetta at this ti made Christian rember how excited Elena was when she was enjoying the dessert with real lted chocolate.
Not at his wits end, Christian decided to split the lava cake in front of him. Christian does it on purpose very slowly, giving a dramatic impression to seduce Zwetta. And Christian’s plan worked, because several tis Zwetta was seen stealing glances at Christian. Seeing the way Christian enjoyed the cake with lted chocolate made Zwetta tempted, but because her self-esteem was still too high, Zwetta decided not to touch her dessert. Zwetta doesn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Christian.
Christian smiles amused at the defense Zwetta is showing him. “Eat it, Zee. It’s really really delicious, you’ll like it.”
Zwetta glanced at her dessert with great curiosity, but even so she did not imdiately do what Christian ordered.
Can’t wait to see Zwetta’s adorable behavior, Christian then acts. “Open your mouth,” he said firmly. “Try a little, take it easy trying food that only half a spoon like this won’t make you fat.”
Zwetta swallowed, more tempted to see the lted chocolate on the piece of cake that Christian is currently trying to prepare for her.
“My hand hurts, Zee.”
In a swift motion, Zwetta grabs the spoon in Christian’s hand and imdiately pops the piece of lava cake into her mouth. Zwetta eyes opened wide as the real Belgian chocolate lted in her mouth.
“How does it feel?” Christian asks purposely.
Instead of answering Christian’s question, Zwetta grabbed the plate of her dessert that she had previously put away and began to enjoy the extraordinarily delicious al with gusto. Several tis Zwetta moved her head left and right while enjoying her food, just like Elena did when she was enjoying her favorite food.
Christian’s hope to win Zwetta’s heart is getting bigger at this ti, he is sure Zwetta will soon open her heart to him.
“Wanna order another one to take ho?”
Zwetta, who was enjoying the last remnants of chocolate on the plate, imdiately looked down in sha, her cheeks and ears reddened.
“It’s ok, you can enjoy the lava cake again at ho,” Christian said again giving Zwetta a tempting offer, even though Zwetta was still so rude but she was still a girl. A girl who likes that kind of sweet food.
“Is it okay if I have one more serving?” Zwetta asked shyly, Zwetta didn’t realize that she had beco more and more attached to Christian.
Christian smiles. “Of course it’s fine.”
After saying that Christian then called the waiter back and ordered two servings of lava cake to take ho, while talking to the waiter who was taking his order, Christian glanced at Zwetta. Christian studied the expression on Zwetta’s face that was so happy when he ordered two servings of lava cake, it seems Zwetta really misses her favorite sweet food. Rembering how much Zwetta craved the sweet treat, Christian’s expression suddenly darkened. Christian hate on Robin Jones is getting bigger.
“What kind of an asshole would stop a girl from enjoying sothing sweet like this,” Christian blurts out.
“What are you talking about, Christ?” Zwetta asked quietly, because Christian spoke in a small whisper, Zwetta couldn’t hear the man’s words clearly.
Christian purses his lips. “No, I didn’t say anything.”
“But...”
“I was just thinking about where to take you ho, to my house to et my family in person or to an apartnt where...”
“Wait!!” Zwetta stopped Christian’s words. “W..what do you an by wanting to ‘take ho’. You’re not planning on living alone with , are you?”
Christian leans back against the back of the chair with his best smile. “What do you think?”
“Keep dreaming!! I won’t want to live under the sa roof anymore with an unfaithful person like you!”
“Unfaithful?” Christian repeats Zwetta’s words in a deep voice, he is a little offended by Zwetta’s words who have called him unfaithful.
Zwetta nodded her head. “Yeah, you’re unfaithful! You ntioned Elena’s na several tis while you were with in your sleep, no loyal man does that!”
“Really? So I said Elena’s na a few tis?”
“Yes! You ntion Elena’s na almost every night when we...” Zwetta who realized her mistake imdiately covered her mouth with her palms, how could she discuss their intimate activities at a ti like this. When she wanted to forget and stay away from the playboy man.
“You’ll thank for just saying that na, Zee,” Christian says quietly.
Zwetta almost exploded if no maids ca back to the room they are currently sitting in, you survived this ti damn Christian Clarke!
“Thank you,” Christian says quietly to the waiter who just told him his credit card and his special order for Zwetta.
The young maid smiled kindly. “It’s my job, sir.”
Christian nodded slowly, after putting his credit card back Christian then turned his gaze to Zwetta who was still staring at him without blinking.
“Co with , I will explain the aning of what I said earlier,” Christian said quietly as he extended his hand towards Zwetta.
Zwetta didn’t flinch, not responding to Christian’s words. Her hazel eyes stare at Christian suspiciously.
“I’m not going to touch you, Zee. I just want us to talk, talk about all the sources of our problems. Honestly I’m tired of playing cat and mouse with you, I want us to go back to how we used to be...”
