Win My Forsaken Ex-wife Back Novel

Chapter 20 Did He Recognize Her ? Charlotte and Diana stepped into the elevator , just as the doors were about to close when a hand suddenly reached in .

The doors opened automatically .

Arthurs strikingly handsome yet aloof face appeared .

The receptionist greeted him respectfully , Mr.

Harrison , will you be joining us ? Arthur stepped in .

Although the elevator wasnt crowded , it felt uncomfortably tight and stifling .

Charlotte clenched her fists in horror , thinking , What is he doing here ? hapter 20 He Recognize Her ? She lifted her gaze and saw her reflection on the elevator wall .

The golden butterfly mask concealed her face , and she felt a bit calmer .

Thank goodness for the mask and the voice altering pill she had taken ; he wouldnt recognize her .

As the elevator doors slowly closed , Arthur turned toward Charlotte and said , Hello .

Charlotte maintained her distance , replying , Hello .

Her voice was soft and pleasant- definitely not one he was familiar with .

Arthur was all too familiar with Charlottes voice ; it had stirred his desires in bed .

Shes not Charlotte , just someone who resembles her , he thought , feeling an inexplicable irritation .

The elevator ascended slowly as Charlotte remained uneasy .

Suddenly , Arthur asked , Are you Ms.

Aroma ? Yes , Charlotte answered , keeping her aloof demeanor ; Ms.

Aroma never engaged in casual chatter .

I want to discuss a collaboration with you .

Do you have time later ? We can go over the details , Arthur said .

Sorry , Im busy , Charlotte refused decisively .

Internally , she rolled her eyes , thinking , He can discuss business anytime ; why wont he just divorce me ? Arthur was surprised by her direct refusal , curiosity flickering in his eyes .

Just then , the elevator doors opened .

Diana stepped out first , followed by Charlotte .

As she brushed past him , a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils , mingled with something familiar .

He stared at her retreating figure , lost in thought .

There was something about her that felt too familiar .

It was too coincidental and too unusual .

Once no longer feeling Arthurs gaze , Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief .

She whispered to Diana , I thought he recognized me .

Diana replied coolly , Dont worry .

He wont .

Hell just be confused about why you rejected him .

You shouldnt have turned him down .

Charlotte blinked .

Why ? Diana explained , Its a chance to make money .

That made sense .

She needed to consider Dianas suggestion seriously .

Charlotte went to see Edward first .

He was thrilled to see her and praised the remarkable effects of her aromatherapy .

Near the end of their conversation , Edward said , Ms.

Aroma , Ill be blunt .

Can you do me a favor ? My grandson is suffering from severe depression and cant sleep .

Is there any way you can help ? Can I meet him ? Charlotte asked .

Edward replied , Of course .

Ill arrange for someone to take you there .

Be careful ; hes emotionally fragile right now .

Yes , I will , said Charlotte .

Charlotte followed the servant to an upstairs room .

As she opened the door and stepped in , a sudden object flew toward her .

She couldnt dodge in time , and it hit her directly in the face .

Her mask tumbled to the floor .

From the corner of the stairs , Arthur slowly ascended and caught sight of Charlottes face .
