Trapped in Love Miss Arogan
106.

Charlotte doesn't know how long she's been sleeping. He only remembered after he finished eating he immediately took a bath and laid his body on the mattress. Looks like he overslept.

While writhing, Charlotte rolled her eyeballs to check the clock on the wall of her room which is now showing at two o'clock in the evening.

Just two o'clock at night? Doesn't that mean he only slept for three hours.

Charlotte stretched her body and groped the bed, trying to find her phone which turned out to be overstressed by a pillow.

He looked at the screen to check the calls and messages his friends were sending. He read only one of those messages. And there was not the slightest intention in his heart to reply to those messages let alone want to call back his friends.

"They're boring." he muttered lazily.

He threw back his phone and let out a tired breath. Somehow he no longer feels the same happiness as before when with his friends.

His friends always accompany him for fun, partying. But for Charlotte they were boring, just a fleeting feeling of joy with them, no happiness.

Only Xander and Laurent became his closest friends who could really comfort him. But the two humans even started to move away from his life. Xander several times had to be busy taking care of other things with his grandfather, while Laurent was a young businessman. He has a lot of nightclubs to watch. Can't always be with Charlotte.

Charlotte's really lonely now. He never felt this alone. Heart's empty. Blank. He has no life force anymore.

Does Charlotte no longer have any reason to be happy? Is there nothing that can be a life booster for him?

Suddenly a shadow of someone appeared in Charlotte's head. That young man, Justin Kim. Charlotte remembered that the young man was the only one who managed to bring out the passion in her chest.

Ah, all this time he met a lot of people, but none of them managed to raise Charlotte's spirit. It was different to meet Justin. Simply imagining her face can make Charlotte's cheeks heat up. The shadow of the young man's face even managed to make the smile on Charlotte's face appear easily at this moment.

Charlotte did not understand why she felt this strange feeling. Honestly, for as long as she lived Charlotte never once felt the desire to constantly see someone's face like this. The handsome young man's face was more like having opium, to make it like he wanted to and always wanted to see it.

"What's doing? I'm thinking about Justin Kim?" charlotte said as if she didn't believe in herself.

Charlotte's forehead frowned when she realized something. He remembered. Before entering the room, he told his grandfather that Justin stopped from the cafe.

Isn't he so stupid. Why would he tell his grandfather about Justin like that? After all, in the end, his grandfather will know by himself.

By the way, just by thinking about the young man's departure from his grandfather's cafe, Charlotte's heart became irritated again. He felt unacceptable. Charlotte couldn't let that young man leave so easily like this.

"Grandfather has made that stupid boy come into our lives. Doesn't that mean he can't just leave. Yeah, he obviously can't just leave."

Charlotte blinked and chuckled at her own words. Why does Charlotte seem to say that she wants Justin to always be around her now. It was as if he was starting to worry if the young man left. Is that the only thing to worry about here?

Might as well.

And still about Justin. After meeting her yesterday afternoon, Charlotte still felt so uneasy about the news Justin had stopped working. He's confused. For some reason, his current feelings are really uncomfortable knowing Justin is out of his grandfather's cafe.

Charlotte felt like she lost that young man. He had not even found any way to get close to the young man before. And now he's just staying.

Yes, even though they are still in the same campus, still their faculty is even located at a distance. Different building.

They had met on campus, but it was just a coincidence.

Somehow Charlotte felt sad when she found out that they were really going to stay away. Charlotte's not a good person to know what her heart feels. He never fell in love with anyone. Even once in his life is filled with lust and relationship games. Not love.

"So what is this thing called being in love?" charlotte's mumbling held her own chest.

No one could tell him this feeling for sure. But clearly Charlotte is not willing to be away from the young man.

Charlotte blinked and removed her hand from the chest, frowning in confusion.

"Why do I even care about that rancid boy anyway? He wants to quit or what, it's none of my business at all. And why should I tell grandpa." he muttered.

"Ah, I must have done it because I was disappointed with the cessation that she made my desire to date her a complete failure."

Charlotte nodded steadily. "Surely because of that." he murmured.

After thinking about what she thought was very unclear, Charlotte decided to close her eyes, trying to go back to sleep. But failed completely. I don't know why his eyes won't close again.

Charlotte thought maybe because she was feeling unsettled by thinking about Justin. Yeah, Charlotte's mood is kind of messed up thinking about that young man right now. Charlotte took a deep breath. He felt increasingly uneasy at this time because he kept thinking about it.

Charlotte then got up to sit on the edge of the bed. He stood up and walked towards the door of his room. He opened the door wide and went out to the balcony of his room.

Charlotte could see the garden of her grandfather's mansion which she thought looked so beautiful when seen with the lights of the garden, as she saw today.

"My grandfather's taste is too fancy to keep in this mansion. He should have put on an exhibition here." he murmured and chuckled.

He then turned his gaze to another corner, where several guards were chatting with each other. It is common to see some guards who have not slept, because they do have a schedule to stay up at night.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she saw a man sitting cross-legged on a park chair, alone.

"What a stupid kid there is" murmured Charlotte cynically.

Who else if not Xander. The young man looked so relaxed, leaning on the back of a chair while enjoying the night breeze, smoking.

Charlotte grieves.

"She wouldn't dare to just pull out a cigarette if Elena was here." Charlotte smiled at Elena, Xander's ex-girlfriend who would probably nag the young man if she saw him.

Charlotte's faint smile faded a moment after she stared at the elder sister from a distance like this. He realized one thing.

So far no one has understood him better than Xander. Even her own grandfather doesn't understand what Charlotte wants. His grandfather was not an indifferent person, even always giving anything to Charlotte. But the old man couldn't understand Charlotte's way of thinking. Their opinions are always contradictory.

Charlotte turned her gaze the other way. Yes, at the end he still felt angry and upset at the words of the grandfather who said as if he was a spoiled child.

Yeah, it's true he can't do anything without Xander. But he's not a spoiled child. He was just too dependent on his brother.

Isn't that two different things. He'll only feel lonely if there's no Xander around. Even his friends could not cover up his loneliness. For Charlotte, hundreds of her friends are also useless when compared to one Xander.

Like you've been married but still need your mother's help and presence. You'll be happy if you're near your mother. That spoiled, presence-needing child was clearly two very different things for Charlotte.

Then, how can the grandfather say that Charlotte is a spoiled child while he can even make a lot of money in just one month, alone. She is a famous artist and model. Don't forget about it. He can make his own money. What is the immature part of him?

But Charlotte knew whatever she was going to do, it wouldn't change any facts right now. His grandfather was selfish. Just like her. This is the nature of the legacy of the grandfather. Who can pass on selfish traits other than his grandfather.

Selfishness that makes the two of them so always fight opinion with each other. Nobody wants to give up. Thats problem.

Charlotte sighed slowly.

"Then..I have to how? What should I do…." Said lirih.

'Is letting Xander go and get away from him the best way?'
