"Where are you?" ask Charlotte.
Charlotte talks to Laurent on the phone when he is carrying his car, driving out of the giant iron gate of the luxury mansion.
"I've arrived at the restaurant" Laurent replied from across the phone.
"alright. Wait for me there."
"Where are you now?"
"I'm already on my way. Looks like I'll be a little late getting there. I just got out of the mansion." replied Charlotte calmly, her eyes checking the clock on her wrist.
"Not a big deal. After all, you're not the kind of person who likes to be late. Always arrive on time. Sometimes late is no problem."
Charlotte chuckles. "Yes, but I'm just afraid that you'll get bored if you wait too long for me there."
"Look, I probably won't die bored here because there are so many beautiful girls. Some of them were wearing tight-fitting sports clothes, quite comforting to my eyes. Looks like they just finished exercising and having breakfast."
"Geez, I'm so sorry I worried about you." Charlotte made Laurent laugh.
"You know what, Charlotte? The waiters here even have bok*ng which is mont*k."
Charlotte grunts.
"You're having breakfast with your eyes, huh?"
"Sort of like that."
Laurent's reply made Charlotte again chuckle. Charlotte just shook her head knowing Laurent's behavior at the restaurant. Remind him to tell Laurent how big the young man's basket was.
"You're more perverted than my brother, you know." Charlotte said.
"Who? Xander, you mean? Oh hey, don't equate me with that stupid guy, okay!" laurent's protest didn't take. "I'm even better than him in terms of women."
"Ck, maybe better in terms of perverted you mean?"
"Anything, of course." said Laurent still do not want to lose as well
Charlotte just shook her head while smiling at her best friend's answer.
"Alright, you wait for me there, okay."
"Just calm. I'm a loyal friend. I'll wait even if you're a full day late." Laurent replied, beginning to sound far-fetched. He remained silent for three seconds and then continued. "But maybe I'll order first. A cup of coffee, maybe."
"okay."
"You want to too?"
"No, I don't want to. Yeah, well, then I'll close it" Charlotte said, turning off her phone after receiving a farewell answer from Laurent.
Charlotte then stepped on her car's accelerator to make it even faster, she drove her car to the restaurant where Laurent was currently.
This morning, Charlotte and Laurent did make an appointment for breakfast together. Yeah, well, that was before he knew this morning that he was going to have breakfast at the mansion with his grandfather and Xander.
But Charlotte is the one who keeps her word. That's why he's going to see his best friend.
***
After a half-hour drive from her grandfather's mansion, Charlotte stops her car in the parking area of a luxury restaurant.
The girl immediately got out of her car and went straight in to meet Laurent who was currently sitting at a table in the corner of the room. The handsome young man looked to relax enjoying the black coffee he had in his hand.
"Have you ordered?" ask Charlotte.
Laurent shakes. "Yet. You ordered it. I'll just come along."
Charlotte nodded and immediately called the waiter to order. After ordering food, the two enjoyed each other's meals while chatting with each other.
Laurent asks why Charlotte is late and Charlotte answers about her breakfast with grandfather and Xander. Then things ended with Charlotte telling me what happened to her last night.
"When are you going to act like this?" laurent asked as he feed the food into his mouth casually.
Charlotte raised her next to an eyebrow, "Like this how do you mean?"
"Just like you're doing right now" Laurent explained. "It's like ignoring Xander. Angry at your grandfather. Everything."
Charlotte let out a tired sigh while stirring up the food before her.
"Come." she replied limply.
"Actually, for Xander I've been feeling better now. But my grandfather, it seems he's a bit difficult. Grandfather's reckless attitude was quite disturbing to me."
Laurent grabbed her glass and pointed at Charlotte with his index finger.
Charlotte grunts.
"Oh, come on, Laurent, I don't like being too organized. You know how I am, don't you? I'm a free man."
"That's the main reason your grandfather finally likes to manage you. Because you're too wild."
"And about Xander taking care of the company. I'm sure he definitely doesn't want Xander to step up when he replaces him, which is why he has to teach Xander everything. That must be for Xander's good, too, right?"
"Yes, but the way is wrong. He just took Xander from me. Made Xander have to cancel all the plans and promises we made."
"For that matter, I can understand why you're angry." Laurent nodded. "But Charlotte, even if you think it's wrong but still, everything she's done is definitely for her granddaughter to get the best."
Charlotte sneered, "Your talking reminds me of Xander."
"Because our opinions are the same."
"Yes, it could be." Charlotte stared lazily. "Just it's starting to sound a little annoying in my ears."
"Well, I'm just giving you my opinion." Laurent flicked his shoulders relaxed.
Xander then continued.
"I'll tell you, taking care of the company also needs adjustments, right? Xander obviously needs that. He'll be the leader there."
"I can't disagree." Charlotte nodded. "But still, I don't like the way. He's too cool. Seizing Xander is like that."
Laurent chuckles.
"If you call your grandfather to do so at will then what do you call yourself? How do I call you, huh?" jeered Laurent, looking at his girlfriend with a slanted smile. "Your attitude can sometimes exceed that of your own grandfather. You're even more terrible than him."
Charlotte was chuckling. He then raised his hand, making a gesture as if he wanted to stab Laurent with the fork he was holding.
"What a terrible thing, huh? Whatchu mean. Who you call terrible. Fuck*n!"
"I'm just telling the truth." Laurent smiled in anguish.
Charlotte put down her fork as she looked at her phone screen that seemed to be on. He immediately checked his phone. There were some missed calls from his friends. However, his brows furrowed at the sight of the ten calls from Xander. The young man even sent some short messages for her.
'Why is he calling me this way too much?' inner Charlotte.
Unable to stand his curiosity, Charlotte finally opened the contents of the message from her brother.
'Are you okay? Why don't I see your car in the campus parking lot?'
'It's nine o'clock, why haven't you arrived yet?'
'Your car didn't leak, did it?'
'If there's a problem, call me quickly.'
And also another message that contains a sentence of concern that is almost the same sent by his brother.
The content of the message secretly made Charlotte snort. It's funny too. Seeing Xander who was so worried that he had to send a lot of messages to her.
Previously the young man had not paid much attention like this to her. Xander was pretty funny. And today the young man was like turning a hundred and eighty degrees. So, like this if Xander becomes a figure of attention. Cute also imagines her this kind of attention while still in a relationship with Elena, her ex.
Charlotte stared at her phone screen while chuckling.
"What's wrong?" ask Laurent.
"Ah, huh?"
"You have another appointment?" laurent asked as he pointed at the phone in Charlotte's hand with his chin.
"No, it's okay" Charlotte answered quickly with a smile, then hung up the phone and put it back in the bag.
Laurent just piqued indifferently. After all, he is not a person who always wants to know the affairs of others and ask things deeply.
"You're not in college?" ask Laurent again.
"Lecture." replied Charlotte briefly.
Laurent raised his wrist to look at the clock. "This hour you haven't been to college. Doesn't matter."
"Estall hours. The lecturer at my first hour was absent. And the second lecturer, I just need to drop off my paper assignments and go straight home after that."
Charlotte's not really going home. It has to work. This afternoon he will go to the shooting studio to take pictures of a cosmetic product.
