Chapter 464 A Pair Of Vultures (1/2)
Spencer gave a cold smile and kissed Charlotte on the lips. ”Don't worry. I know what to do.”
They kept drinking.
Charles was in no mood to drink again. He recognized Charlotte and Spencer. Charlotte was the capable general of the Mu Group, and Spencer always went against Max. When did they get involved? A question worth thinking.
Charles threw away the pile of money and stood up. He couldn't drink any more wine. He quickly walked out of the bar and called his assistant, ”help me investigate these two people.”
His voice echoed in the bar. Charles had already driven away.
When Leila went back to the old house left by Lillian, she found that the room was empty, which reminded her of a lot of things. She could not help sitting on the sofa, staring blankly. She wanted to figure out the relationship between her and Max, whether it was love or something else. Every time when she thought of that person, she could not calm down.
The depressing atmosphere came to her like the tide. Leila quietly fell into the sofa. She used to be afraid of darkness, but now she was also surrounded by darkness.
She missed the old days, though trivial as it was, every time she went back home, someone had prepared dinner for her, and Flower would play in the bedroom or the living room. She would feel uneasy if Flower was not around. Every time she saw Flower holding the toy bear in the bedroom, Leila would lean against the door frame in a daze. It seemed to no more the same scene as before.
After a sleepless night, Leila got up early in the morning. When she opened the door, she saw Charles standing at the door. He looked a little dispirited and haggard now. He had looked for her the whole night.
Leila had no place to go when she was at odds with Max. She could only come here, which was the only place that Lillian had left to her, and also the only place that had nothing to do with Max.
”Charles, you...”
Charles smiled awkwardly. When he saw that Charlotte and Spencer were in collusion in the bar, he immediately informed Leila. If he told Max, he would not believe that his brother would do something bad to him.
Leila welcomed Charles in with a smile. Seeing him, she was a little touched and nervous. She thought the man she expected would appear when she woke up, but she didn't expect Charles to appear.
Seeing that Leila was so nervous, Charles patted her on the back and asked, ”Leila, what's wrong with you? Why are you so nervous to see me?”
Leila gently shook her head. She could tell from his sunken eyes that Charles was staying up late again. She said, ”You've been busy with work recently. You don't look good!”
Charles smiled shyly. He was happier than anyone else that Leila cared about him.
”Charles, I want to take a break.” Leila's tone was full of exhaustion.
”What?”
”I mean I want to be quiet for a few days. Now I have almost finished my work. I think there are things that are not my concern. I don't want to continue working.”
