Second Marriage

Chapter 36 Are You Pretending to Care about Me

The maidservant was surprised.

"Mr. Kennedy, I just tell you the truth. Missus really seduced Mr. Manfred just now. Don’t you believe

me?"

Kennedy looked at her, "In addition to you, were there any other people?"

The maidservant thought that Kennedy believed what she said, so she shook her head and said again,

"There was only me who saw them. But I swear I did see her seduce Mr. Manfred."

Kennedy sneered at her, "In another word, there was only you who saw them, and no one can prove

that what you said is the truth."

The maidservant understood what he wanted to say, "Mr. Kennedy, I..."

"Do you envy her so you calumniate her on purpose?"

Kennedy looked at her with his deep eyes, and it seemed that he could look into her heart and see how

ugly she was. The maidservant was a little panicked as he saw what she thought.

"Mr. Kennedy, I don’t lie to you. Please believe me."

"Well. " Kennedy sneered loudly, "Why should I trust a maidservant and don’t trust my wife instead?"

"I..."

When the maidservant saw him sneer indifferently, she regretted it. She saw that Kennedy did not care

about Charlotte but ignored her, so she dared to hurt Charlotte and scolded her, and she even thought

that Mr. Kennedy would agree with what she did.

However, she did not expect that Kennedy would behave like this after he knew about it.

"You made her clothes wet." He said to her in a positive tone.

The maidservant was panicked, because she did not know why he would know that.

"Mr. Kennedy, I..."

"We don’t need a servant who is foxy like you in our Moore family." Kennedy looked up at her, as if he

was looking at the dead, "If you slander her in front of other people, you should know what will happen

to you."

At this time, the door of the elevator opened. Kennedy left by moving the wheelchair. And the

maidservant was so scared that she fell down on the floor.

Charlotte changed her clothes after she came back to the room. And then she saw the suit.

She wanted to return it to Manfred, but when she took it, she found that it was dirty because of her. So

she could not return it to him right now.

Therefore, she put it into a bag, so that she could take it for dry cleaning when she had time.

After fixing it, she went outside.

Recently, she had been going to work by bus. When she entered the company as usual, she cleaned

the office and then went back to her own desk for work.

When it was time for work, Kennedy and Nathan appeared in the company on time. She looked up at

Kennedy as she heard his voice.

Kennedy also looked indifferent, and he ignored her again.

Charlotte did not look at him anymore, but she held the pen tightly in her hands.

Did she get it wrong?

Why did she feel that Kennedy was mad at her?

Was it because of what happened in the bedroom? Or was it because of Manfred?

She could not help but think about it, so she could not pay attention to her work.

She took the files to Kennedy’s office one time, and offered a cup of coffee to Kennedy twice, but he

still ignored her.

At noon, Charlotte had lunch in the canteen, and she heard other people discussing it.

"Did you get the news? I heard that the Moore Group canceled cooperation with the Carter Group."

"Oh, really? But the cooperation was important, wasn’t it?"

"I heard that the decision was made by Mr. Kennedy. And he made the decision at the meeting this

morning."

After hearing that, Charlotte felt amazed. Did he make the decision at the meeting this morning? When

was there a meeting this morning? How could she not know about it?

"Mr. Kennedy made the decision by himself? Do you think Mr. Reynold will agree with it?"

"I don’t know. Mr. Kennedy would not behave like this before. How could he cancel it? I think it was

unbelievable."

Charlotte took a piece of vegetable to her mouth. However, she was occupied with mixed feelings and

could not eat it down.

She felt bad and thought about what Kennedy said when he made Gerald Carter kneel down last night.

"Mr. Gerald, why are you kneeling down? Do you want to beg my assistant to promise to cooperate

with your company?"

"But I’m so sorry. Even so, the Moore Group doesn’t want to cooperate with the Carter Group either,

because you are so contemptible."

She remembered that he asked her to contact Gerald before he attended the banquet. It was obvious

that he really paid a lot of attention to this project. Why did he cancel the cooperation with the Carter

Group?

Could it be...because...

Charlotte dared not to think about it anymore. But the news had spoiled her appetite, so she took the

plate and went upstairs.

It was quiet in the office. Charlotte knocked at the door.

"Please come in."

Kennedy’s voice also sounded indifferent.

Charlotte took a deep breath and then opened the door and entered the office.

Kennedy did not raise his head. He just focused on his notebook. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

He was handling his work, and the cup of coffee on his desk was empty. It was obvious that he did not

have lunch. Charlotte thought about it for a while and wanted to remind him to have lunch. At this time,

Kennedy raised his head and saw Charlotte, and then he knocked at the desk with his fingers, "Another

cup of coffee."

"Yes." Charlotte walked forward and took up the cup. When she was about to make coffee for him, she

couldn’t help but turn back and said to him, "It’s time for lunch. You should have lunch first."

‘It will be bad for your stomach if you don’t have lunch but keep working hard with coffee.’

Charlotte said to herself in her mind.

But Kennedy did not reply, as if he did not hear what she said.

"Mr. Kennedy, please..."

"Didn’t you get my words? Who’s the boss now?"

Charlotte held the cup tightly as he said that. She was angry but she had to make another cup of coffee

for him.

She put down a cup of coffee on his desk and then she couldn’t help but say to him again, "Mr.

Kennedy, it is bad for your stomach if you drink coffee without eating any food."

Kennedy stopped working and looked at Charlotte seriously.

Charlotte felt panicked as he looked at her like this. She explained, "As...... your assistant, I should

remind you to pay attention to your health."

"Are you pretending to care about me? Is it one of your methods to seduce me? " Kennedy said to her

with sarcasm, and he was really unkind to her.

It made Charlotte very angry. She bit her lower lip and intended to refute him. However, when she

thought about cooperation with the Carter Group, she thought that she had to figure it out.

"I heard that there was a meeting this morning."

Kennedy did not reply.

"It was said that cooperation with the Carter Group..."

"What are you thinking about? Do you think that I terminated the cooperation because of you?"

Charlotte said, "I..."

"It’s impossible." Kennedy sneered, "I don’t want to cooperate with the Carter Group just because I

think Gerald never pays attention to work. This is a long-term project, and he is unqualified to be in

charge of this project."

So it was not because of her.

She finally felt relaxed.

If it was because of her, she would feel really guilty.

"So it’s none of your business. You are just an assistant in the Moore Group. " Kennedy sneered loudly

and looked at her with sarcasm, "Do you think you are important to me?"

"Charlotte bit her lower lip, "No, I don’t think so."

"Really? As you’ve shilly-shallied since you came in, I could tell that you wanted to talk about the

cooperation."
