"Help out, Miss Thompson."
Charlotte Thompson had not expected such a sudden move from Justin Battleson, causing her cheeks to flush. She reached up and removed Justin’s tie from around his neck.
Then, without hesitation, Charlotte pushed Justin into the bathroom and shut the door firmly behind him.
"In your dreams!"
She directed the words toward the bathroom.
Monts later, a voice tinged with mock grievance drifted from inside. "Miss Thompson, why have you suddenly beco so ruthless?"
This ti, Charlotte couldn’t be bothered to respond to Justin’s well-rehearsed pitiful tactics. Instead, she headed straight to the desk and began reviewing the partnership docunts Justin had brought back.
worsen was a trendy fashion brand that had gained imnse popularity among young people in recent years. Typically, Charlotte’s designs were tailored for high-end luxury runway shows, so this particular style was new territory for her.
Still, as a designer, Charlotte relished challenges like this.
Streetwear, in particular, was an area Charlotte hadn’t explored much, so it would require a great deal of preparation on her part.
When Justin finally erged from the bathroom, he saw Charlotte organizing the docunts at the desk. His expression softened as he walked over to her.
By the ti Charlotte realized soone was approaching, she was already wrapped in a damp embrace.
"Is it difficult?" Justin asked softly by her ear.
"Though I haven’t dealt with this type much before, it’s nothing too challenging," Charlotte responded,
"Besides, this isn’t just about adhering to worsen’s style—many of the pieces are actually ant for future runway showcases."
"You’ve worked hard," Justin murmured, tilting his head to press a kiss against her temple.
Charlotte’s body instinctively leaned back, as if to rest her head on Justin’s shoulder, but then she rembered his injuries and stopped herself.
After glancing at Justin beside her, she stood up. "What’s your plan regarding the company?"
"At the shareholders’ eting today, I discovered George Robbins has already contacted a number of board mbers. They were all speaking in his favor."
Justin paused here, leaning partially against the edge of the desk while resting his arm around Charlotte’s waist.
"If this collaboration with worsen has any hiccups, I can guarantee they’ll seize the opportunity to target ."
"How dare they be so brazen? The Riley Group was built entirely by you. Are they planning to push you out of the board?"
Charlotte blinked at him in shock.
"If that wasn’t his goal, then why else would he have hung around my company for so many years?"
Justin let out a low chuckle at the re thought, his tone cool. "Really, every shareholder just wants more shares in their own hands."
"Planning is one thing, but executing it properly is a whole different story."
"So, in your opinion, Leon Battleson will definitely interfere with our collaboration this ti?"
"This isn’t just my opinion," Justin said, resting his chin on Charlotte’s shoulder and speaking lazily. "Knowing Leon as I do, he’s bound to make a move."
"Perfect. We can use this chance to weed out so of those lingering problems in the company."
"I understand," Charlotte replied softly.
