Early the next morning, only Charlotte Thompson headed to the office.
Soon, news of Justin Battleson’s injury spread throughout the company.
On her way to the office, Charlotte overheard several employees quietly discussing the current state of the company.
"Have you heard? A lot of brands collaborating with our company have already refused to renew contracts."
"How did sothing like this happen all of a sudden?"
"I heard it might have to do with so problems at the higher levels of the company."
"What’s going on these days? Even Mr. Battleson is injured and hospitalized."
"No way, is the company really down to relying solely on the deal with Worsen? If things keep up like this, won’t we be heading for bankruptcy?"
Listening to the murmured speculations, Charlotte curled her lips into a faint, chilly smile and stepped into the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hurried voice called out, prompting Charlotte to extend a hand and press the door-open button.
The next second, Teddy Carter and Florienna Ellis walked in side by side.
"Thanks."
When Teddy looked up, his gaze t Charlotte’s, and he gave a slight, amused smile.
Florienna, however, didn’t seem to notice Charlotte nearby and instead opened her mouth to grumble at Teddy.
"Why are you rushing? We could’ve just waited for the next elevator."
While speaking, Florienna smoothed her previously styled long hair, while Teddy had already nodded in acknowledgnt toward Charlotte.
"What a coincidence, Miss Thompson."
When Teddy spoke, Florienna turned around in surprise, and Charlotte returned a polite smile toward the two of them.
Florienna’s expression, however, turned sowhat odd. She didn’t greet Charlotte, instead silently standing beside Teddy.
But Charlotte noticed that the hands the two had been holding were now released, with Florienna flinging hers away.
This left Charlotte mildly surprised. She’d heard bits and pieces about the relationship between Florienna and Teddy, but when did they even start seeing each other?
Of course, Charlotte held little interest in workplace gossip. Soon enough, the elevator reached the floor where Teddy and Florienna were getting off.
Just as the elevator doors were about to open, Charlotte called out to Teddy:
"By the way, Group Leader Teddy, please inform the design departnt’s entire team to et on the hour. There are a few projects I need to assign."
"Understood, Miss Thompson." Teddy nodded at Charlotte and replied before stepping out of the elevator.
But before the elevator doors fully closed, Charlotte overheard Florienna’s voice.
"What luck, running into Charlotte this early in the morning."
Withdrawing her hand from the close door button, Charlotte couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.
Your luck is only just beginning.
When Charlotte arrived at her office, Coco imdiately stood up from her desk outside and walked over to her.
"Why are you here so early today?"
Charlotte glanced at the files on Coco’s desk. It was clear she’d been organizing them for quite a while already.
"Woke up early this morning, and since I had so unfinished matters from yesterday, I decided to co in and sort through everything ahead of ti." Noticing Charlotte’s gaze, Coco answered sowhat sheepishly.
"Sister Charlotte, I heard Mr. Battleson suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. What happened?"
"Even you’ve heard? The news sure spreads fast, doesn’t it?" Charlotte replied knowingly.
