Chapter 104
You Hit My Heart
Luther left his seat, picked up his suit, and put it on, striding out of the
president's exclusive office.
When he got to the door, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken
his gun permit and went back to get it and put it in his suit pocket.
Immediately after, he strode into the public elevator and presses the
12th-floor button.
When he reached the automotive R&D project team on the 12th floor,
he was slightly stunned when the elevator doors opened and Charlotte
was standing at the elevator door.
Charlotte was thinking about whether she should go to the 88th floor to
find Luther.
In the midst of the hesitation, she didn't expect Luther to come down on
his own.
Joyce hasn't seen Luther in days since her marriage license with him
was revealed.
Today was also her first day back to work in the automotive project
team after many days.
There was a lot of talk about her in the group, and because of her
status as the general's daughter, people didn't dare to say it to her face.
But behind her back, the rumor had long spread, and she was not
unaware of it. Her marriage contract, right now, was like a joke.
The moment Luther saw Charlotte, they both felt a bit awkward.
It was always difficult for him to approach this woman who saved his
life.
He smiled politely at her and didn't know what he could say.
Just as she was about to stagger away, Charlotte suddenly reached out
and timidly tugged on his arm, "Luther, can I talk to you for a minute?"
About the gossip in the group, the pressure Charlotte felt, and the fact
that their engagement had become a joke, Luther was naturally aware
of them all. With a guilty conscience, he nodded, "Good."
Charlotte pulled Luther around the corner, tears in her eyes before she
could speak.
âI'm sorry, did I cause you any trouble?" Taking a step back was what
Charlotte could do best.
âIf you don't think it's right, I can stop coming to the group.â She
choked, her crystal teardrops already falling all the way down her thin,
fragile shoulders.
With such a look on her face, Luther's heart felt even worse, and
promised, âI will forbid the staff to talk about it privately, so you can go
to work without worry.â
He handed her a handkerchief, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect such an
accident. Now you can only bear it for a while longer.â
Charlotte nodded, "I can wait, Luther, I'm, I'm just worried you'll get
further and further away from me."
She lifted her head, looked shy, and held out one hand, biting her lip,
"Can I touch you?"
Luther's long eyebrows furrowed lightly. He felt surprised, but he did not
refuse.
Charlotte pretended to be inexperienced and reached out to gently
stroke the side of his handsome face before she quickly withdrew her
hand.
She said shyly, "Thanks, that gives me a touch of reality. Luther, you
are like a dream to me, unreachable and unattainable.â
The more she spoke, the more she choked up, almost sobbing.
âDon't think too much about it, take care of yourself.â
At that moment, Luther caught a glimpse of Joyce from the corner of
his eyes. She was dressed in blue casual clothes today. She looked
refreshing, coming around the corner and was only a few more steps
away from them.
When he saw how relaxed and happy Joyce was, he was instantly in a
bad mood.
Was he the only one who could not sleep at night?
Suddenly, he reached up to Charlotte's tear-stained cheek and wiped
her tears with his thumb.
And Joyce saw them.
He leaned down, lowered his head, and wanted to kiss Charlotte ...
