Chapter 172 Attracted to Her Voice
Although its name might seem ordinary, the Lotus Hotel's design was very novel. Seen from a distance, the entire building looked like a blooming lotus, and it had a well-deserved reputation as a five-star dining spot.
Charlotte and Nelson stepped out of the car, and the receptionist quickly welcomed them.
Amanda and Helena had already arrived, and they were both nervous right now.
Though she appeared to be confident, in fact, she held a deep fear of the man who was said to be scary. Regardless of his looks, Nelson represented absolute power.
"Helena," Amanda held her daughter's hand and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Helena gritted her teeth and replied, "I've decided! I won't let Charlotte, that bitch, grind me down! Rest assured, and I've got everything prepared. This time, I'm going to ruin Charlotte's reputation!"
Amanda sighed and nodded, "As long as you're prepared."
Suddenly, when they heard footsteps approaching, Helena and Amanda turned their gaze towards the entrance nervously. They saw a man wearing a pair of long black pants and a deep blue shirt walk inside. He had long legs and an incredibly handsome yet serious face.
He seemed to come from another world.
Charlotte followed behind Nelson, her fingers tugging at his shirt sleeve. Since she was much shorter, she had to hop a bit to say to him, "You can't do this!"
Nelson replied with a smile, "Why can't I? You're mine... I'm just moving your closet to my room."
Charlotte was fuming, but she was tall enough to look down on him as she talked to him. She pouted and noticed a small step with a potted plant nearby. She stood on top of it and was finally taller than him. She said, "You can't do that!"
Nelson raised his eyes and said, "Little one, your cousin and your aunt are here."
Charlotte fell silent.
Charlotte froze for a second, then turned to find Amanda and Helena, both gripping their chairs and looking stunned in their direction.
This was so embarrassing.
She hadn't even realized they had arrived.
Nelson had scooped her up in his arms, which startled Charlotte. She clung to his neck and said with her cheeks burning, "Please put me down..."
Nelson asked, "You were quite angry just now, weren't you? Aren't you going to be naught again?"
Charlotte was not so cheeky as him and quickly agreed, "Alright, you win! Just put me down, please."
Nelson chuckled and put her down. She straightened her sleeves, coughed, and waved while greeting them, "Amanda... Helena, hi."
Amanda who didn't dare to talk to Nelson forced a polite smile and said, "You're here. Please, take a seat."
She nudged Helena, who had just come to her senses and was now gazing at Nelson in disbelief.
This man, who was said to be old and ugly... Could he look so attractive? If he looked like this, Helena would happily spend a night with him, even if he were homeless and penniless!
Charlotte frowned and looked at Helena and then at Nelson. She intentionally pulled a chair that was away from Helena for Nelson, but Helena quickly came to them and sat by Nelson's right hand. She said in a sweet voice, "You must be Mr. Clark, right? It's truly a pleasure to meet you. I'm Helena, Charlotte's cousin."
In the past, Nelson might just ignore her, but this time, he briefly glanced at Helena and said, "Charlotte has mentioned you before."
Helena looked flattered and asked, "Really?"
