Chapter 344 Still Crazy About Him
Charlotte's POV
"Thank you so much, Hunter; I really enjoyed our time together. And thank you for coming here and for being my first guest." I said after he helped me climb out of the car.
"You are welcome, and it was my pleasure. I had a great time with you, Charlotte. And this would not be the last, since I will be coming back." My brother replied as he smiled at me.
"Next time, I plan to bring Madeline," he added, and I was speechless.
"Are you okay? Why did you suddenly fall silent, and you looked pale." Hunter asked as he looked at me.
"Do you think she will accompany you knowing I am running this place?" I asked, and he nodded.
"Of course, you don't need to feel worried about meeting my wife again, Charlotte." My brother responded.
"Aren't you afraid I will do something evil to her?" I asked, and he shook his head.
"I know you cannot hurt anyone, Charlotte; what you have done in the past does not matter. You regretted them, and like me, my wife is willing to give you another chance to prove your worth." He replied.
"I am sure Madeline will be thrilled to visit you here," Hunted added as I weakly smiled at him.
"Good night, it is getting late. I know you are now an early riser. It shocked me initially, but when I witnessed how dedicated you are to your work, I felt proud of you." My brother said, and I blushed with his compliments.
"Thanks, good night, big brother," I shyly replied.
Hunter sent me to my room, and we bid good night to each other again. I got inside my room with a broad smile on my face, and I admit I felt better after spending time with him.
He made me forget the pain I felt before I left the manor, but after I took a shower and put on my nightdress, I couldn't stop feeling alone again, and I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Jack no matter how I tried to forget about him and Cecily.
It would be hard on my part to work with them every day, and I don't know if I will learn to accept the reality that I could never have Jack.n-(0VelbIn
The loud knocking on my door made me wake up from my deep slumber, and I wondered who it could be. I looked at the clock on the wall and realized it was still 4.00 a.m., and I suddenly felt nervous about what was happening.
"Hunter? Are you okay?" I asked after I opened my door and found my brother standing at my doorstep, and he was already fresh from the shower. He was wearing a gray suit.
"I am sorry to wake you up this early. I got a call last night, and I didn't want to disturb your sleep; I need to leave now, Char." He declared as he towered over me, and my eyes widened as I stared at him.
"I can take care of myself, Hunter. I am an adult, and I don't need a babysitter," I said, feeling irritated, and my brother only laughed as he turned to face me.
"Of course, you don't need to remind me about that, Charlotte. I am aware you are an independent young woman, and you can surely take care of yourself, but it would be different if a man would take care of you." He replied with a wink, and I blushed.
He didn't know Jack had a change of heart, and I couldn't tell him about it in front of Jack.

"You are welcome. Keep safe," I responded, and my brother leaned down and kissed my cheeks.
I was watching Hunter's figure until he was lost in the crowd, and I didn't have a choice but to turn around and face Jack.
"Are you hungry?" He asked.
"No," I responded as I walked past him, but Jack had long legs, and he was able to keep up with me.
"I know a place that serves delicious breakfast," he declared as he looked at me.
"I am not hungry, and I am not planning to eat breakfast with you," I responded, and I walked as fast as I could.
"Please, I am hungry," he begged as he tried to block my way. I tried to move to my right, but he was fast and moved to his left.
"What are you doing, Jack?" I asked with a stern tone.
"I just want to have breakfast with you. It is still early. Besides, our next guest will be arriving this afternoon, and we have plenty of time to prepare." He responded.
"Do you think Cecily would feel happy if she found out we had breakfast together?" I asked, and he laughed.
"What is so funny, Mr. Morigan? Cecily and I are friends, and I don't like what you are doing." I added.
"Nothing is wrong if I have breakfast with you. I am not taking you on a date." He replied, which made me furious that I stomped on his feet, and he was groaning as I walked away from him with a wide smile on my face.
"Are you a kid?" He asked behind me, and I didn't answer him as I continued to walk towards the parking lot. And before I could open the car door, he held my wrist and spun me around.
My heart raced as I inhaled his intoxicating scent, and when Jack pulled me closer to him, I had to close my eyes since I didn't want to look like a fool in front of him, and I felt scared if I would do something stupid that would lead him to find out I am still crazy about him.
