Chapter 120 A Little Toy That Was Kept for Fun
Charlotte was afraid that Nelson might change his mind if he got upset, so she quickly tucked the little puppy into her arms. In an instant, a dirty paw print appeared on her clean white t-shirt.
Nelson's face got darkened and said, "Throw it in the trunk."
Charlotte hurriedly objected, "No, it's still so young. It will be scary if we put it in the trunk."
The little puppy seemed to understand what they said. As soon as it heard Nelson's words, it immediately growled twice.
The man's profile was sharp and indifferent. He glanced at the puppy with disdain. "I advise you not to oppose me, or I'll toss you in the trash can right away."
The little puppy whimpered in fear.
Charlotte quickly reached out and patted its head to comfort it, whispering, "Mr. Clark, please don't be so harsh on it..."
Nelson's gaze got darkened and replied, "You didn't intervene when it was aggressive toward me."
Charlotte didn't know how to respond. It was unexpected for her to hear a subtle hint of jealousy in Mr. Clark's words, as if two children were competing and feeling jealous.
Charlotte helplessly said, "It doesn't understand anything... As an adult, you should be more magnanimous and not be bothered by it."
Nelson snorted indifferently but still ordered someone to send some things needed for the little puppy to Oswye Community.
When they arrived, those items were already delivered. Charlotte didn't have time to open them, she took the puppy to the bathroom to bathe it. Since Paisley was busy, Cora went into the bathroom to help her. Fortunately, the little fellow seemed to like water and didn't resist the bath like a cat. It obediently stayed still in the basin.
However, it was too dirty, and after the cleaning process, both Charlotte and Cora were exhausted. Cora asked, "Ms. Lopez, where did you pick up this puppy?"
Charlotte told Cora about the origin of the little puppy, and Cora sighed. She patted the puppy's head and said, "It's lucky to have encountered you."
"But..." Cora glanced outside, "Is Mr. Clark allowing you to keep it?"
Charlotte recalled the brief and restrained kiss and blushed slightly. Then, she whispered, "Initially, he didn't allow it, but I... I begged him."
Cora smiled and said, "Mr. Clark likes you so much... He doesn't like furry things at all. When Mr. Matthew was little and wanted to raise a cat, he cried for a long time, but Mr. Clark never agreed."
Charlotte was taken aback and murmured, "Is it..."
But she had only kissed Nelson once, and he already let her keep the puppy.
Cora whispered, "Mr. Clark is treating you so well. You haven't seen how he treats others."
Charlotte lowered her head and replied softly, "I... I know."
......
Initially, Charlotte thought the puppy was a mixed breed or a stray dog, but after cleaning it up and blowing its fur, it turned out to be a beautiful Samoyed.
It seemed to be only one or two months old, with untrimmed and messy fur that looked like a fluffy ball from a distance. However, its eyes were particularly beautiful, with a warm and lively black color that appeared exceptionally gorgeous.
The puppy was fond of Charlotte, and after it was dried, it immediately rubbed against her. Its barking sounded sweet and clingy.
Cora couldn't help but laugh, "Even though it's a little male puppy, but it's so affectionate."
Charlotte liked the puppy very much. She happily carried it and ran upstairs, wanting to show it to Nelson.
When she arrived at the door of the study, she saw Nelson in the middle of a video conference. Charlotte quietly entered the room with the worry that she might be disturbing him. Nelson glanced at her, immediately covered the camera, and said, "Come here."
Charlotte walked over with the furry puppy in her arms and asked softly, "Are you busy?"
Nelson replied with a poker face, "Not really."
Charlotte immediately lifted the puppy in her hands and shook its two pink paws, saying, "It's a Samoyed! Isn't it adorable?"
Nelson wasn't interested in the furry things. He glanced at Charlotte but found the faint pink blush on her fair cheeks even more charming. Memories of the kiss they shared on the street today flashed through his mind, causing his Adam's apple to move involuntarily. His voice carried a hint of huskiness, "Come closer and let me take a look."
Charlotte didn't suspect the sinister intentions of that older man at all. She stepped forward a few steps with the puppy in her arms, but before she knew it, the cunning old rascal pulled her onto his lap. Charlotte was surprised, "You..."
The puppy in her arms also let out a soft growl and made itself look fierce.
Nelson whispered, "There are people who can hear you."
Charlotte immediately covered her mouth, using her eyes to complain, "If you know that people can hear me, why would you do this?"
Unfortunately, her soft and gentle gaze had no intimidating effect at all. It even made the older man's heart wander more. He looked serious on the outside and said, "It's fine. They don't know who you are."
The executives of the company whose view was blocked by Nelson's hand were wondering, "Then, you should let us see who she is!"
Just a minute ago, when the executives saw Nelson's expression soften, they already knew something was fishy. Later, they heard him teasing the young girl in a gentle voice, making them even more keen to see the face of that soft-spoken girl.
One of them, with particularly bold courage, coughed and said, "Mr. Clark, you can pretend that we don't hear anything and continue, please..."
Charlotte was so embarrassed. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
She just wanted to bury herself in a hole and hide herself.
Why did things develop into that situation? She was just holding the puppy to show it to Mr. Clark!
Nelson watched Charlotte close her eyes as if she had given up everything, he couldn't help but chuckle. That scared the company executives, making their backs drenched in cold sweat. They had seen Mr. Clark smile before, but his smiles were either cold or mocking, the former deadly and the latter maddening.
However, they had never heard Nelson laugh so genuinely.
Nelson lowered his head and kissed Charlotte's cheek, his voice filled with laughter, "Alright, ask Cora to take the puppy to get vaccinated first."
Charlotte quickly climbed off him and said, "Okay... Then I'll leave now."
Nelson responded with an "Mm."
After Charlotte left, Nelson removed the paper covering the camera. Although the executives maintained a serious demeanor, they were secretly observing whether their boss's clothes were disheveled or not. However, to their disappointment, Mr. Clark still looked as dignified as ever, without a trace of embarrassment.
"What was that just now, Mr. Clark...?" Someone asked cautiously.
Nelson's gaze flickered and answered in a cold tone, "Just a little toy that is kept for fun."
Those people exchanged glances, and they all understood as that was his lover.
Thus, they all tacitly decided not to inquire further.
Charlotte, who had come back to pick up the hairband, stood frozen in place.
