Charlotte moved her legs reluctantly towards the dining room. When she got there, Charlotte could see the grandfather who was the head of the family was sitting at the end of the table. He doesn't seem to have eaten any food.
Meanwhile, in the chair on the right of the grandfather, Charlotte can see Justin sitting while lowering his head, staring at the fingers of the hand on his lap.
"Finally, you came too" said Mr. Romanov, welcoming his granddaughter's arrival. "Why did you suddenly disappear from the living room?"
Charlotte immediately turned her attention away from Justin, staring at the grandfather.
"I left something in the car," Charlotte replied with a small smile in response. Ah, he was sure that his smile must look awkward at this moment.
"Sit down first Charlotte" said Mr. Romanov again, pointing to an empty seat nearby.
Charlotte with a lazy look nodded but still obeyed and followed his grandfather's orders to him. He walked around the table and sat right in front of Justin.
Justin who saw Charlotte's arrival looked up. His pupils dilated, surprised by the girl's presence. His face turned nervous. He greeted her while bowing his head, seeing that he felt uncomfortable in their midst.
"Where's Xander?" ask Grandpa to Charlotte as soon as the girl secures her position on the chair she is sitting on.
"He's..."
"I'm here, cake!" exclaim someone.
Charlotte did not have time to answer, suddenly appeared a young man with a handsome face, very handsome with a high height towering.
The handsome young man then immediately sat next to Charlotte, precisely in an empty chair that was also in front of Justin who had provided his eating equipment.
Justin raised his head to look at the face of the man. Justin knows who he is. He was Alexander, the King of the college that Charlie had told him about at that time. He was the young man who came with Charlotte to the campus and got hysterical cheers from the students at his campus.
"Xander, meet Justin Kim. This is the young man that my grandfather told you about this morning." said Mr. Romanov introduced them, making the handsome young man look straight at Justin.
"Greetings, I'm Alexander Clinton" Xander said in a friendly manner that was immediately nodded at the head by Justin.
"I'm Justin Kim, greetings too." Justin replied with a stiff smile.
Xander who had just sat himself comfortably in the chair, nodded his head.
To be honest Xander himself had met this young man once before. He met this young man when he appeared in Charlotte's new home, precisely when this young man became a courier and delivered chickens to Charlotte's house at that time. And it was the first time Xander had met him at that time.
"Grandfather has told me so many good things about you. And I thank you for being willing to come here."
"Ah, yes. I also thank you for being invited here." Justin replied politely.
Hearing Xander's words, Charlotte suddenly raised her eyebrows. He glanced in surprise at Xander who was sitting next to him.
'What's this? Xander got the story from grandpa? But what story did Xander mean just now?' charlotte's mind squinted at Xander.
Meanwhile, Xander who was unconsciously stared at by Charlotte instead looked at Justin's face with a clingy. The young man was seen watching the grandfather who had since continued to invite himself to talk about various things.
'My grandfather must have liked this young man. Yes, grandfather will turn into a lot of talk to people he likes' Inner Xander shook his head with a smile.
Until finally the food came and the aroma of the food made Mr. Romanov divert the subject. He now seriously explained the kinds of food that was in front of them at this time to Justin who seemed to listen carefully.
On the table is now available a variety of luxurious menus that Justin does not really understand. Mr. Romanov said that the type of cuisine available in front of them today is the type of cuisine that comes from Turkey. Justin who had listened since could not remember the names of his dishes at all.
In addition, there are also Indonesian dishes that are served such as chicken opor, sweet sour lobster, and other Indonesian dishes.
"Where do you want to eat that cooking? Everything here is so good, grandfather guarantees it." said Mr. Romanov.
"I'm eating his chicken opor, sir." Justin smiled.
"Alright, but if you can try some other cooking. All of this is done just to welcome you. So you should taste it too."
"Ah, thank you, sir. I'll try." Justin nodded slowly.
Charlotte continued to watch her grandfather seem more excited than usual.
'Grandpa's never been like this. He looked so adoring to this young man.' his inner throbbing annoyed.
Xander quietly glanced next to her where Charlotte was currently sitting and focused on looking at Justin without blinking. Xander then chuckled. Seeing the young man in his own home, Xander thought this would be very confusing for the girl.
"Stop looking at him, you look like you want to eat that young man right now" whispered Xander.
They then continued the dinner with a very relaxed atmosphere. They enjoy eating while talking about things like Justin's work, Mr. Romanov's gardening hobbies, Xander's sports hobbies and various other relaxing topics.
Meanwhile, while everyone was busy talking and laughing, Charlotte did not speak at all. He just kept quiet and listened. Charlotte is obviously a very bored person in the current situation.
'What the hell, why am I the one who's left out here?" his gerrick.
Charlotte then glanced at the handsome young man in front of her who was also staring at her. Being caught staring at Charlotte, Justin hurriedly lowered his head. Charlotte somehow felt that the young man looked so awkward when he saw her.
Charlote glanced at Xander who was next to her and nudged the young man's arm with her elbow, making Xander who was busy scooping rice into her mouth immediately turn her head.
"What?" ask Xander.
"Why did grandfather bring this young man to this mansion? How did Grandpa get to know him? And... What kind of story did Grandpa tell you?" charlotte whispered softly but it seemed like her voice could still be caught in Xander's hearing.
"That's not me, it's me, but it's grandpa who has to tell you."
"Is that so?" Charlotte raised her next to her eyebrows, astonished. He whispered back to his brother. "And also, grandfather had never invited anyone else to dinner like this in the mansion, other than the person he liked!"
"Stop that..." Xander just shook his shoulders indifferently. "Maybe Grandpa really likes her."
Feeling Xander who was too indifferent when answering his question, made Charlotte upset and immediately stepped on Xander's shoes with the tip of the high heels he was wearing.
"Aw, sick! What the hell, use my foot stomp all, huh?" whispered Xander.
"Stop keeping anything from me! What did Grandpa tell you? Say it!" ask Charlotte impatiently.
"All right!" Xander sighed slowly. He glanced at the grandfather who was still busy talking to Justin. "It seems like grandfather wants to make amends for his mistake!"
"Error?" Charlotte turned her head quickly to Xander, looked at the older brother with slightly furrowed brows, and whispered. "What mistake do you mean?"
"As little as I know, grandfather had already bumped into this young man!" Xander explained in a serious tone of voice. "Grandfather told me this morning."
"Crashing?"
"Yes, some kind of accident caused by grandfather, which definitely made the young man hurt."
Charlotte nodded in understanding then stared fiercely at Justin sitting opposite her.
'So that's why Grandpa got to know him. But what exactly was the reason Grandpa asked her to come here? Ah, is the presence of this brat here because he wants to try asking grandfather for damages?' his inner.
Charlotte then closed her eyes while lowering her head. He shook his head while twitching his temple which was now beginning to twitch. Whatisthis? What kind of life story is this really? It was like a destiny for him. And why is the world really this small?
This young man before her was a 'victim' candidate for Charlotte. He had planned to play tricks on this man's heart, just like any other man and then hit him. But it won't be easy. It's just getting complicated. After all, why did his grandfather even know him like this?
To be honest, it's not that big of a deal for Charlotte that it's just about her grandfather knowing Justin. But this was because his grandfather looked so admiring of Justin. Charlotte had never experienced anything like this before. Her grandfather had never known a man close to Charlotte before.
But Justin Kim, he's a bit different here. One of them can be seen for himself if his grandfather looks like adoring him and that somehow makes him feel bad for his grandfather.
All of this really makes his head hurt.
Xander glanced at the young man who was sitting opposite Charlotte. What Xander knows, Justin several times also found secretly staring at Charlotte.
Xander doesn't know how the young man feels about Charlotte, but it's not good if it turns out that their grandfather knows Justin. Doesn't that mean Charlotte won't be able to do whatever she plans on the young man? Moreover, Mr. Romanov seemed to care so much about the young man.
'Grandfather can finish Charlotte if this is the story.' Xander's inner self.
Once again Xander glanced at Justin, then glanced at Charlotte, and chuckled to himself.
'It looks like this will be exciting.' Xander's inner self while smiling cynically.
