Second Marriage novel Chapter 41

Why? Charlotte was tongue-tied. “I...”

No, Kennedy only knew she went out, but it did not mean he know what she did, she should be calm.

Charlotte took a deep breath to calm herself and said, “I went out to do some shopping.”

“How should you be fined since you left the company to buy something during working hours?”

Charlotte wanted to say something.

Nathan took a look at her and explained, “The Moore Group has a rule that employee must not leave during working hours without permission from your superior. Assistant Wilson, your superior is Mr. Kennedy. If you leave the company without permission from him, you must deduct a month's salary as a warning.”

Charlotte could not help staring at him.

“Deduct a month's salary?” But she had only been working for a few days.

It meant that she could not have the salary for a long time.

“Yes, Assistant Wilson, it's company policy.”

Charlotte looked at Kennedy and said. “Sorry, I don't know it. Can you...”

“No!” Kennedy was decisive and resolute, not giving her any chance.

Well, it was her fault. She left the company without permission. And it was the company's policy that employees were treated equally, so she had nothing to complain about.

After thinking this over, Charlotte lowered her eyes and looked at her toes without defending herself.

In a sealed space, when they were quiet, even each other's breathing sound could be heard. That she did not explain let Kennedy surprised, but later he thought he understood.

How could such a peacockish woman care about a month's salary?

If she didn't tell the truth, there would be always a time to tell the truth.

When they were out of the elevator, Charlotte saw Nathan and Kennedy leave, and then went to the door of the company. Diana was waiting for her in her car. She walked to her happily.

She opened the door to get in the car. When Charlotte fastened seat belt, Diana asked, “Is that your husband's car?”

Charlotte looked up and saw Kennedy’s car coming out of the parking lot. “Well, he's not my husband,” she nodded.

“You have been married.”

“You know the half-year agreement. It's just a trade marriage.”

Diana supported her cheek with hands, “Trade marriage works, but I heard Mr. Kennedy seems to be....”

Charlotte paused and looked at Diana.

“Why? You understand what I mean, don't you?”

Charlotte, “......”

Diana gathered together mysteriously, “Do you have sex since you got married with him?”

Charlotte blushed and bit her lower lip. “No.”

“I told you, the rumors should be true.”

“Dian, don't be nonsense. It is impossible.”

“Why? There's no smoke without fire. You're married. Would he have kept you till now if he had no problem?”

“There's a reason.” Charlotte lowered her eyes, so that people could not see clearly the emotion under her eyes. “He does not like me, and it is normal not to touch me. We cannot judge that he has a problem.”

“Why do you speak for him?” Diana showed her hand, “do you like him?”

Charlotte's eyes widened in an instant. “No!”
