Chapter 247 Waiting for Her
When Joe arrived, Charlotte was in a meeting.
Frank asked politely, “Is there anything urgent you want to talk to Miss Clinton about? Do you need…”
“No need.” Joe said in a hoarse voice. “I’ll wait for her in her office.”
Seeing this, Frank did not ask any more questions and just asked the secretary to serve him tea in time.
Joe sat in the empty office and looked at Charlotte’s chair not far away. For the first time, his mind went blank.
Since the death of his parents, he had been used to controlling the overall situation, kept thinking, and never stopped. This was the first time that his mind was blank. He didn’t know why he had to come to Charlotte and even didn’t know what to say after seeing her.
Now he was like a dried fish, and only when he saw Charlotte could he really come back to life.
After an unknown period of time, Charlotte ended the meeting.
When she heard from Frank at the door of the conference room that Joe had come, she felt a little strange. They had no business. to discuss during this period of time. Why did he suddenly come.
to her?
“Tell him I’m busy now.” Charlotte didn’t want to see him, so she simply left Frank some instructions and then left the company with Mr. Lake.
Before Frank could react, they had disappeared from his sight.
Frank had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to
Charlotte’s office. He cautiously said to Joc, “Mr. Smith… I’m really sorry. Miss Clinton has something urgent to deal with. I’m afraid…”
Joe looked at him indifferently, and the rest of his words were stuck in Frank’s throat, unable to come out.
Joe understood. Ever since the kidnapping, Charlotte had been trying her best to avoid him. She probably had the same thoughts now.
The expected burst of anger did not appear. Joe simply nodded casually and said, “I’ll wait for her here.”
“But…” Frank was stunned.
The person sitting in front of him was Joe! How could he waste so much time waiting for someone?
Thinking of Charlotte’s instructions, Frank had to say again, “But…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Joe shot him a cold glance.
Frank couldn’t force them to take him away, so he left with a sad
face.
It just so happened that there were some minor problems at work today. By the time Charlotte finished dealing with these things, it was almost late at night.
She touched her belly slowly, and at this moment, she felt hungry.
“Mr. Lake, why don’t we have supper together?” Charlotte asked her secretary to order supper for all the employees who worked overtime that day. Then she turned to look at Mr. Lake next to her.
Before Mr. Lake could reply, Frank rushed over and said, “Miss Clinton…”
Seeing his embarrassed look, Charlotte was a little surprised. “What happened?”
Frank looked a little weird. “It’s Mr. Smith… He’s waiting for you in your office.”
“What?” Charlotte was shocked. According to her understanding of him, it was impossible that he had not seen through her intention to dodge him, but he still waited until now.
She hesitated for a moment and was about to ask Frank to continue to send Joe away when he quickly said, “Mr. Smith has been waiting for you in your office for a day. Maybe there’s
another reason…”
If he didn’t take Joe out of the office, he was very suspicious that Joe would sleep on Charlotte’s sofa.
Charlotte had no choice but to follow Frank back to the office.
It wasn’t until the moment she saw Joe that she finally understood why Frank seemed to be particularly panicked.
The current Joe could almost be described as bedraggled.
