Second Marriage novel Chapter 43

“I just went out on a few errands.” When the chips were down, Charlotte told herself that she could not tell him! That was Mr. Reynold's command. If she told him, the relationship between Mr. Reynold and Kennedy would become even worse.

Thinking of this, Charlotte pursed her lips and denied.

“Oh.” Kennedy narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “I'll give you one last chance, say it!”

His voice was cold and harsh. Charlotte bit her lower lip. “I just went out to buy something,” she said. You have already deducted my salary of a month, I have objection. So you have no need to know what I have done.”

Kennedy narrowed his eyes, staring at her. “Say it again.”

“No!” she said as she backed out, clutching her cellphone.

Kennedy frowned, “Where are you goind?”

“Stay away from you!”

With that, Charlotte turned and ran out of the room.

She quickly ran out of the room and was ready to find maid. When she looked back and found Kennedy did not catch up, she was relieved. She took out the phone and found that Diana had sent her a message.

Diana: I am on my way, wait for my good news.

It seemed that Diana was sure she would get it, so Charlotte felt that she should not be worried.

She stayed outside for a long time, waiting for a call from Diana.

Then Diana called her, “Done, don’t worry.”

Charlotte was excited and asked in a low voice, “Have you got it?”

“Yes. Do you want me to take a picture for you?”

“No, but... How did you do that? Will you be discovered?”

“Don't worry. Take a rest. You know what to do when people ask you a question, right? That's it. I gotta go!”

Diana hung up the phone. Charlotte stood in situ. Diana had been always good at it, she thought it would come to an end.

The maid who had cleaned the room came up panting.

“Missus.”

Seeing her, Charlotte put away her phone and looked calmly.

“What's the matter?”

The maid's face was so flustered and she bit her lower lip. “Missus, I... I'm sorry! Lydia told me that she accidentally lost your button.”

Charlotte frowned. “What do you mean? It is lost?”

“She accidentally crashed with someone on the way back from shopping. Everything fell to the ground, but she got things back but the button.”

Crash...

With a sharp leap of his eyelids, Charlotte stepped forward. “Did she get hurt?”

The maid was so startled that she stammered, “No, no, it's just things dropped.”

Charlotte was relieved to hear this.

Diana scared her to death. How dare she make a crash? She was frenzied!

“Missus, Lydia didn't hurt, but she lost your button. What should we do?” The maid had not forgotten that one maid got fired because she spilled milk on Missus. When she left, she said a lot of bad things about Charlotte.

So now in the maid's eyes, Charlotte had a deterrent force.

“Never mind.” Charlotte frowned, thought for a long time, and then calmed down again, “It is just a button.”

“But... Isn't that button very important to you?”

“It is, but your safety is also important. I can’t punish you for a button. Forget it, but you are not allowed to mention it again. Or, I will think of it.”

The maid nodded, “Don't worry. I certainly won't mention it again. I will tell Lydia about it. Thank for sparing us, Missus.”

“Then I'll go first.”
