Charlotte was cut off by Nikolai kissing her. He was more overjoyed from her answer to his question. That is what he wanted to hear. They all exit the car and go into the warehouse. Charlotte sees many men around desks, a few couches. The biggest man she has ever seen. They walk upstairs and head into the only office that was above the others. Charlotte could see it was just a simple office, but really was an 2 office in one. 

When they walked in further there were more men in the second part of the office. They also had a female with them. Charlotte saw the woman giving the men some pleasure. Charlotte moved her eyes away from it. You could hear Anton in the background running into his office. 

" fucking hell! In my office! You 2 get the f#ck out of my office. Those two men left but the woman stayed behind. She saw Nikolai at his desk. She was moving her way to him but she was stopped by one of the men in the room. 

" If you want more. Go downstairs". 

The woman left. The man who told the woman leave was looking at Charlotte intensely. Charlotte felt strange around him, but she stayed calm. 

Eventually the man stopped. The men went to work. Charlotte stood the entire time, she was regretting wearing heels. 

They spent 4 hours at the warehouse then they left to head to a fundraiser. Charlotte was happy about that because food will be there. Nikolai was the first one to enter, holding the hand of Charlotte.  

The fundraiser had many people inside the building. There was art work on the walls which got the attention of Charlotte. Both of them walked around the place looking at the art and almost everything that was up for sale. Nikolai was not bidding on anything he had to show up, his presence was needed to raise more money if he was there. 

Things are going swimmingly. Charlotte saw a design that looked familiar, she knew who it belonged to. She wanted to leave and she wanted to leave now. 

Charlotte was trying to track down Nikolai but she saw that he was busy with the press, and Charlotte does not want to mess that up. Charlotte froze when she heard the sounds of heels, Vladimir could see the discomfort upon Charlotte's face. 

" Are you okay?". 

" Yes. Lets wait outside for Nikolai, before she sees me..."

" OMG! CHARLOTTE!". 

" Fuck". 

" I'm telling Nikolai you said that. Now what is going on?"

" Omg! It's so long, girl. It's good to see you". 

" likewise, Natalie". 

" so, how is it going? And who could let your ass in here?" 

" Well I am here with my husband". 

" yeah right". 

It got way worse from there between Charlotte and Natalie. Vladimir only met Natalie for a short moment and he already hates her.

" But for real, who would marry your ass? I mean look at you, you are a plan as hell. You are not very appealing to the eye unlike me. I mean look at me and then look at you, which man would go for the obvious here". 

Natalie opened her mouth again but was cut off by Vladimir. 

" I can see it".

" Well hello handsome, and thank you very much. What is your name?"

" Oh You want to know my name, sorry I don't give my name out to whores". 

That sentence made Natalie's face drop completely. 

" Who the hell do you..."

" I am more important than you, same for Charlotte as well. Now shut the hell up and listen. As you said " look at me and then look at you",  men will choose you only because you dress yourself low and you talk to people with no manners. And when others see Charlotte, well she is the marrying type like yourself. Because you have no value". 

Natalie left with anger and embarrassment. Charlotte looked at Vladimir and was very impressed on how he just handled it all. And plus that is the most he has ever talked. 

" wow. That was amazing. Thank you". 

" not a problem ma'am. It was all worth it".

" She used to bully me in high school, she comes from America and ever since she got to the school she has made everyone miserable. The entire time in high school she thought that she was better than everyone. There are more things that she has done back at high school but I will spare that, I don't think you want to here about high school drama". 

" you could not have been more right ma'am". 

" oh jokes, he has jokes". 

Charlotte's comment made a crack into Vladimir's face, making him smile. They waited outside for Nikolai. It was a peaceful night and everything was calm. Soon enough Nikolai came out and they went home. Nikolai went to the living room to talk with his friends.   

Nikolai took a seat on the chair, pulling Charlotte down in his lap while he talked with his men. All were just chilling together like a family. As time passed by Charlotte fell asleep on Nikolai and Nikolai took her to bed and went back down to his men. 

And all went down the basement, they had a few things to do before the night was done with. 

Nikolai and his men finished things from the basement and went to bed. Nikolai was the first to wake up. He took care of Charlotte when he came back into the room. 

Charlotte was showing signs that she was sick. Since she had a rough night he let her sleep in late. So he went downstairs and saw his men. Nikolai worked in his office for a few hours until moving to the water fountain room.   

Nikolai was sitting in the chair laughing along with his men. But in the back of his mind he was worried about Charlotte. He was thinking about taking her to the doctors. But as he was thinking about Charlotte, she was coming down looking for him.
