Chapter 247


    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


    nk.


    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 nk. He didn’t know why he had toe 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 reallye 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 hade, she felt a little


    strange. They had no business. to discuss during this period of time. Why did he suddenlye.


    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 thepany with Mr. Lake.


    Before Frank could react, they had disappeared from his sight.


    Frank had no choice but to bite the bullet ande 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 toe


    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 nce.


    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 almostte 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. ording 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 particrly


    panicked.


    The current Joe could almost be described as bedraggled.
