Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 361 Was Charlotte going out on a date? The little white rabbit who had been pretending to be innocent in front of him... was actually a little wildcat? Ethan had been in a low mood for days. Repeatedly thwarted by Khloe, now even Clarice was giving him the cold shoulder. Important tasks were no longer entrusted to him, and at the company, he had almost become a nominal vice president, a figurehead in all but name. On top of that, the things Khloe had told him still lingered in his mind, and over the past few days, he had secretly been investigating his parents' past.

But too much time had passed, and the leftover official clues were practically useless. Maybe it was human nature to hide when in a slump, but suddenly, he felt an unprecedented confusion about his life. Then Charlotte appeared, shifting his attention. He recalled Winnie's figure from earlier in the morning and Charlotte's expression, and a flush of heat rose to him. Half an hour later, the private car carrying Charlotte pulled up to a lavish hotel in the city center. She strode quickly in high heels, her petite yet firm, perfectly proportioned figure swaying naturally with a graceful allure.

Ethan had parked on the side of the road. From where he stood, Charlotte seemed like a completely different person. At the office, she was always in casual hoodies with a long ponytail, or sometimes her hair cut shoulder-length. Her youthful, simple elegance, paired with a cute face, gave her the air of a naïve young woman just stepping into adulthood. Ethan had never imagined she could transform into such a vision. Sexy yet innocent, stubborn in spirit but ultimately a gentle little bunny-what man could resist this type of woman?

He touched the corner of his mouth, loosened his tie, paid for parking, and strode after her. Seeing Charlotte enter a private business suite, Ethan could reasonably assume she was here on business. He recalled passing the project department that morning and overhearing her mention a dinner tonight with a certain government department manager-likely follow-up business for the pharmaceutical project. But wasn't Khloe known for never letting her female subordinates attend these kinds of dinners? Why was Charlotte here alone? Ethan pulled out his phone and made a call.

Inside the suite, Charlotte found only two people waiting: a middle-aged man in his fifties across the table, and 1/2 Chapter 381 +25 Bonus his assistant. "Leonard? Just the three of us today?" Charlotte's eyelid twitched. She knew the man's intentions in advance, but seeing him approach so directly still surprised her. Leonard Burns was a minor manager responsible for reviewing the pharmaceutical project's packaging line, and Charlotte had dealt with him before. He had even given her a business card. During the approval process, he had messaged her almost every night, inviting her to dinner.

Charlotte had always politely refused. Now the project was complete, and Leonard was claiming to have influential contacts and promised to deliver a major performance boost to her department-hence the invitation to dinner today. Charlotte knew Leonard wasn't serious-his "contacts" were just an excuse; what he really wanted was her. At that moment, Ethan happened to walk past the project department, his eyes fixed on Charlotte. Charlotte had been busy with work and hadn't interacted with Ethan much in recent days.

Their last encounter had been when she tried to extract information from him that might help Khloe. Ethan, wary of her, had resisted, yet somehow managed to flirt and tease her for a while. In the end, he left a small but useful clue for Charlotte, so she could warn Khloe to watch out for Oscar.
