"Justin, I wanted to discuss sothing with you regarding this brand launch."
Charlotte Thompson turned around and positioned herself between Justin Battleson and the table, smiling warmly at him.
Justin Battleson glanced at her with a sowhat inexplicable look. After hearing Charlotte’s words, he stepped aside.
"I’ve already inford the company. I can hold a new product launch, and by then we can announce the brand launch. I haven’t asked you yet, how’s the preparation going?"
"No problem at all, and it’s not just working hard; many people are helping too." Charlotte extended her hand, grasping Justin’s palm, and looked up at him with a smile:
"Thank you for supporting like this. This should be my own brand’s press conference, yet now..."
"What are you saying? Besides, the company already had plans to launch a new brand series. Now with it being your brand, I intentionally took advantage of Miss Thompson’s shine."
Hearing the teasing in Justin’s words, Charlotte’s eyes twinkled. She wrapped her arms around his waist and joked deliberately:
"Yes, indeed. The Joy designer is a renowned figure in the industry, yet you managed to recruit them into Riley Group. I bet many people are secretly envious."
Justin raised an eyebrow, pulling Charlotte into his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Let them envy then. You’ll always be mine."
However, as he spoke these words, there was a slight flicker in Justin’s eyes.
...
The moonlight was like a wash, and Justin Battleson stood on the balcony as the thick moonlight clung to his face, dividing the large shadow behind him.
At this mont, Justin heard approaching footsteps. He turned back warily, only to find Grace Thompson standing a short distance away, still sleepy-eyed.
"Daddy? Why are you here?" Grace’s voice still carried a hint of a sleepy nasal tone.
Justin raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, then walked over to Grace, picked her up, and took her slightly cold hand.
"It’s so late, why are you up?"
Leaning against Justin’s chest, Grace saw the worry on his face and imdiately explained:
"I just went to the bathroom and saw Daddy standing here."
Saying this, Grace withdrew her hand and slowly pressed her fingertips against Justin’s furrowed brows.
"Daddy, why are you always frowning? You’ve been in a bad mood since you returned. Did sothing upset you?"
Grace’s words gave Justin a slight pause: "You..."
Justin thought he had hidden his emotions well enough that even Charlotte hadn’t noticed, but Grace spoke directly about it.
"I can tell Dad doesn’t want us to worry. But if Dad is unhappy, it makes feel sad too."
"Daddy just t soone, and seeing him always reminds of so unpleasant experiences," Justin said softly.
"Is it soone you have to et?"
Grace blinked her eyes as so drowsiness crept in. After rubbing her eyes, Grace wrapped her arms around Justin’s neck and rested her head on his shoulder.
Justin responded with a light ’mm.’"
"When Daddy sees them... just think about Mommy, think about us... wouldn’t that help? When Daddy sees us will..."
