Chapter 48
When they ran into the unreasonable old man, Alexander and Sabrina had no choice but to flee in embarrassment.
Back in the car, Alexander's face turned dark with anger.
Sabrina was also unhappy, but seeing Alexander's expression, she thoughtfully held his hand gently: "It seems Charlotte is still very angry."
Alexander's head shot up: "Are you saying Charlotte secretly told that old man to kick us out?"
Sabrina sighed softly: "Isn't it obvious? He has no grudge against us, yet he turned down money. Isn't that strange?"
Alexander's eyes darkened, but he said nothing.
Sabrina glanced at him: "Alexander, why don't I go find Charlotte right now and apologize properly... Maybe once she calms down, she'll get back together with you."
As she expected, Alexander immediately stopped her: "Don't overthink it. This is between Charlotte and me, it has nothing to do with you."
Sabrina lowered her head slightly, looking a bit sad: "But when I see you and Charlotte like this, my heart can't help but ache..."
Alexander paused, then reached out to stroke her hair: "Silly girl, don't always blame yourself for everything."
"Things between Charlotte and me got this bad mostly because she's too petty, in the past and even now."
"So don't think about it, don't do anything, just focus on getting better."
"Oh, the day after tomorrow is your first day at the Forbes Group. Remember to dress up nicely."
Sabrina smiled through her tears: "But what about Calvin and your mother's medicine..."
"I'll figure it out, don't worry."
Gently patting Sabrina's back to comfort her, Alexander's eyes flashed with anger.
Calvin's situation wasn't resolved yet, and now Cynthia's insomnia had become another piece in his power struggle with Charlotte.
Charlotte must be feeling pretty pleased with herself right now.
But did she even realize that once things got to Cynthia, a simple apology wouldn't make everything go away?
He hoped Charlotte wouldn't regret this later.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the Forbes Group.
Since she was officially starting at the Forbes Group in two days, Sabrina used the excuse of wanting to familiarize herself with the work environment and went straight to the Forbes Group with Alexander.
Then, claiming her new office wasn't ready yet, she simply stayed in Alexander's office looking at company documents.
At this moment, she sneaked another glance at Alexander...
As soon as he got back to the company, Alexander called Cynthia and temporarily calmed her down with an excuse.
Then he got busy with various things.
Company decisions, Sabrina's onboarding, and the exhibition all needed his approval.
During this time, Nicole didn't call Alexander again.
It seemed the fake identity incident had been covered up.
But who knew how things were going on Calvin's end?
This time, even if Charlotte could escape disaster, she needed to learn her lesson!
That evening, at the small pharmacy.
After closing the door, the old man slowly took out his phone and made a call: "What you asked me to do is done."
"Next time, don't come to me with things that have no benefit."
In a blink, it was the weekend, and today was Lynn's death anniversary.
Usually Charlotte would bring Alexander and Owen to pay respects to Lynn, but this time, Charlotte thought it would be nice to go alone so she could have a heart-to-heart talk with Lynn.
So after getting ready, she made an excuse to have the driver take Philip back to Landon, then set off alone for the cemetery.
The cemetery was in the suburbs, not too far away, about an hour's drive.
But in the past, to take care of Alexander and Owen, even this short one-hour trip was a luxury for her.
She could only come to pay respects once a year on the anniversary.
After getting out of the taxi, Charlotte walked slowly until she finally reached Lynn's grave.
After carefully clearing the weeds and placing Lynn's favorite snacks and fresh flowers, Charlotte found a spot to sit down and started talking.
When she mentioned she was preparing to reopen her studio, Charlotte suddenly felt a gentle breeze brush past... soft, just like how Lynn used to caress her cheek when she was alive.
While Charlotte was talking to herself in front of the tombstone, the Forbes Group was bustling with activity.
Because today was the big day of Sabrina's official start at the Forbes Group.
To make it grand, Alexander not only gave all company employees the day off but also invited many industry elites to witness Sabrina's growth together.
At this moment, Sabrina, surrounded by everyone, was like the most blessed person in the world.
At the cemetery.
Charlotte had talked a lot and suddenly felt her throat getting dry. Just as she stopped to drink some water, her phone rang urgently...
"Jenna, what's up?"
But Jenna didn't say anything and just fired off several questions.
"Are you at the cemetery? Where's Alexander? Isn't he with you?"
"And Owen, is he there with you?"
Charlotte felt dizzy from all the questions and quickly called for a stop: "Wait! Why are you asking all these questions?"
Jenna seemed to curse on the other end: "Hold on, I'm sending you a link right now."
With that, Jenna hung up without further explanation.
Right after, Charlotte received a link she forwarded...
