Charlotte had been standing in the parking lot for a while, leaning on her car. Moments after meeting Brandon, he did not go home and chose to stand in the parking lot, near his car.
To be honest, only this time Charlotte felt so upset at someone like this that she could not resist her behavior in public. Usually if angry, he will hold back when in front of many people.
"Brandon almost made me look bad in people's eyes. Good image is important." he closed his eyes while shaking.
Charlotte sighed then grabbed her cell phone from inside the bag to contact someone. Not long after, the call was finally connected.
"Hello Xander, where are you now ?" ask Charlotte without saying anything.
"I'm at home. Why?" the young man named Xander replied in a nonchalant tone from across the phone.
"Which house. Mansion or apartment?"
"Apartments."
"It's close to me."
"Then, why is it so close?"
"I just had a meeting at a cafe near your apartment. And now I want to go home, but I don't want to drive a car. So I want you to come pick me up "
There was a pause for a few seconds before the young man replied. "What did you say?" abugn.
"I said get me, you idiot!" reset Charlotte again in a resentful tone.
"Pick you up?"
"Yes." Yeah."
There was a whirling sound from across the phone, "You're asking me to pick you up?"
"Are you deaf or something?"
The young man went back into silence for a while before then returning to talk. "I'm busy right now. I hung up. See you soon."
"Wait a minute!" charlotte said, "You can't just hang up."
"Of course you can. Whynot? I can even close it this second if I want to."
"Come on," Charlotte protested. "Why rush to hang up the phone anyway."
"I told you, I'm busy."
"What are you working on now?"
"Sleep."
Charlotte gritted her teeth. He closed his eyes, his breathing sounding trembling as he held back his emotions.
Charlotte shook her head trying to control herself, "Don't try to provoke my emotions, Xander. My mood is bad right now. Get up and pick me up now."
"Sorry girl, but I think you're forgetting one important thing."
Charlotte raised her eyebrows. "Forgetting something important? Forgetting what?"
"Looks like you completely forgot." Xander sounded bitterly. "Okay, let me remind you. You've asked me not to appear in front of you again."
"Huh?"
"Still not remember the looks of it." Xander screeced. "You may forget. But you've asked me to stop being your assistant or errand boy, ah. You fired me. You refused to give me any more pay because my work wasn't good. I woke up late and picked you up for work this morning! How, are you ingetting now, huh?"
This time it was Charlotte who was silent for a while before then she patted her own forehead. Okay, Charlotte remember now! He remembered that he had fired this young man this morning.
But wait a minute. So, this young man agreed with the dismissal? Does that mean this time Xander was really mad at him?
So if Xander is willing to be fired, it means there will be no reason for the young man to accompany Charlotte anywhere else.
Charlotte shook her head. His body stiffened for a moment. That was impossible because all this time he had completely hung his entire life on the young man.
Xander, that young man isn't just someone Charlotte can use. For Charlotte, taking Xander away with her was just an excuse for the young man to be relieved of office business by his grandfather.
In fact, Alexander is his foster brother. He was the one that Mr. Romanov brought along to accompany Charlotte as a child. Xander became a friend and best friend to Charlotte during the years she lived
Charlotte couldn't imagine living without that young man. Yes, even though Xander was only an adopted brother, but he really needed that young man to continue to be by his side. He and Xander are like twins who can't be separated.
Charlotte nodded wryly as she sighed softly and then replied. "Hey, I wasn't serious at the time. I'm just kidding."
"You fired me yesterday, two days ago, five days ago. Ah, you also fired me a week ago, just because I didn't wake you up to exercise in the morning."
"Xander, listen to me."
"And one more thing, last month you fired me for-"
"Wow.wow..wait first! Therehewas. Shouldn't that be my word. You, Charlotte! Stop being such a bitch. You know, you really make me sick."
"Xander! You-"
"Sound Charlotte! I was asked by my grandfather to take care of you instead of being your maid or errand boy, remember?" Xander. "I refused at that time. But you tried to convince me to accept the offer because you didn't want to be lonely. You even offered me money."
"Yes, it's true."
"But you fired me. I've stopped now. It means I'm free to go anywhere without having to be with you anymore" said Xander sharply. "If you hadn't given me the money back then, I might have bothered to drop off and pick up a girl like you. Miss is chatty!"
Charlotte scrunched her forehead. He was silent at Xander's words. Charlotte raised both hands, peeking at the base of her nose. Can only be for her who always loses if arguing with her brother. Well, whatever the debate, the young man must have always managed to silence him.
There was a sound coming from across the phone.
"Honestly, the money given from you is indeed large. But because of your good treatment, I decided from now on I just quit! Yes, the monthly money from grandfather is also enough to sustain my life."
"Xander, I told you that I was just-"
"You shut up first. Listen to me talk!" Xander continued his sentence without letting Charlotte say anything more. "Listen yes, this time I will completely ignore anything about you! You hear that? I'm not going to pick you up again, whether today or in the future. I quit!"
Charlotte was shocked by Xander's words. He was confused after hearing his brother's words and tried to find other ideas. Charlotte then smiled as she got a better idea to make the older brother go down.
"Emm..heard Xander! I don't mind if you decide to quit, but we're brothers, remember?"
"Now you're using the word 'brother' to suppress me. Very clever, yes."
"of course. Oh yeah, like you said, Grandpa left me to you, too. So if you stop taking care of me and keep me company, grandpa can be sad."
Charlotte then resumed her sentence. "And grandfather will also have trouble finding your replacement to take care of me later. You know what kind of woman I am. No one will understand me like you. There's no way you're gonna bother our old grandfather, Xander?"
Xander screeches.
"Not really. I think that grandfather was an amazing and very great person. If it's just to find my replacement, it's a very easy thing for him, just point it!" Xander paused his sentence. "But your words have a point too. I also agreed when you said grandpa would have a hard time finding someone who could deal with this crazy woman like you."
Charlotte glared in disbelief. He stared at the screen of his phone.
"Xander, you-"
"What?" challenge Xander. "That's exactly what I said. You're a crazy woman!"
Charlotte scratched her cheek off guard. Had Xander been in front of him at this moment, the man would have been exhausted in his hands.
"Denger Xander's. I don't want to know, the point is you have to pick me up at FJ cafe, now! I'll give you the money. Ah no. I'll raise your pay if you come. But, if you don't come in ten minutes, I'll complain about your behavior to Grandpa. I'd say that yesterday you were busy flirting with girls in the nightclub!"
"You're threatening me with something else now?"
"Come here!"
Xander's voice sighed. "OK, okay. But promise me, you won't do anything to me anymore, let alone say you want to fire me!"
"Hm!"
"My watch will rightly double!"
"Hm. I'll raise your pay!"
"And I promise you that you'll also buy me steak at the most luxurious restaurant." pinta Xander again.
Charlotte rolled her lazy eyeballs "Why is your request going so far?"
"Quick promise."
"Yes, yes, I promise!"
Xander was silent for a while. The young man seemed to be thinking. A few seconds later, a long sound came from across the phone.
"Yes, okay if that's it, wait! I'll pick you up there sometime"
"Bye!" Charlotte disconnects her phone before Xander finishes talking.
He rushed into his car. Sitting in the driver's seat, throw his original phone into the car seat next to it and rest his back on the seat back.
Waiting Xander.
