The Moment i let go my uncle 48

The Moment i let go my uncle 48

Chapter 48 

The bed stirred with sudden movement

Before Charlotte could straighten up, a large hand pressed against the back of her head

Her lips accidentally brushed against his jawline… 

Her pupils dilated in shock

The texture of his skin, the rich scent of his cologne, the warmth, the freshnessevery sensation registered with crystal clarity in her brain

Zarek froze momentarily

He released her, leaning his head back, then placed his hand on the back of her head again, gently pushing her 

away

Their eyes met

One face blank with shock, the other expressionless

After what felt like eternity, Charlotte snapped back to reality. She quickly removed his hand, stood up, and hastily smoothed her hair, struggling to control her breathing. It’s 5:30 already. You really need to get up now.” 

With that, she practically flew out of the room as if her feet had wheels

Zarek: ” 

He remained silent for a while, then covered his eyes with the back of his hand

Charlotte rushed back to her own room without stopping

She went to the bathroom and splashed water on her face. In the mirror, her reflection looked as flushed as if she’d 

been steamed

She’d simply been following protocol to wake her boss. How had that turned into her accidentally kissing him?? 

This was… 

Completely mortifying

At six o’clock, she reluctantly returned to Zarek’s suite

Rex was already there

They both stood in the living room area, waiting for Zarek to emerge

While waiting, she glanced at Rex, wondering if he’d had similar experiences. He’d worked for Zarek much longer than she had, so surely he must have handled this wake up duty too

Had he also

Experienced something like

Her brain unwillingly conjured an image of Rex leaning over Zarek, accidentally pressing his lips against his face… 

Ugh

Oh god, no

Miss Whitmore, why are you looking at me like that?Rex selfconsciously touched his face, unsettled by her alternating expressions of confusion and dismay

Nothing, I was justCharlotte pressed her hand against her chest, thinking our job isn’t exactly easy.” 

No job is easy. You just adapt.” 

You have a good attitude.” 

What choice do I have? It’s not like I can snap at the CEO.” 

Charlotte pressed her lips together

Words failed her

Everything he said made perfect sense, but stillshe couldn’t help feeling overwhelmed

From the direction of the dressing room

Zarek had been standing there for a full minute

He’d witnessed everything from Charlotte’s series of expressions while looking at Rex to her comment about their job not being easy

He touched his brow, smilinga smile of disbelief

He walked out

Sir,Rex said, turning around

Charlotte turned as well

Her eyes met Zarek’s for a second before darting away to focus on his shirt buttons, affecting an air of respectful attention

Zarek headed toward the door

Charlotte and Rex followed behind him

The car departed from the hotel toward the Marina de Belém yacht harbor

The interior was quiet

Charlotte sat rigidly in the back seat, tense from neck to toes. She wanted to relax, but kept remembering that 

accidental kiss

Heaven help her, could she just get amnesia

Miss Whitmore.” 

The deep, measured voice came from beside her

Charlotte responded immediately, as if by reflex, Yes? Did you need something, sir?” 

Get some water.” 

Of course.She took a bottle from the car’s minifridge, opened it, and handed it to him

Zarek pushed it back toward her. Here, take small sips, and relax. Don’t dwell on workplace mishaps.” 

Outside, city lights were beginning to shimmer while her face flushed with color

Charlotte turned forward and took a huge gulp of the mineral water as if it were hard liquor

In the front seat, Rex was completely confused

Mishap? What mishap

When had this happened

The car arrived at the marina

The driver stayed with the vehicle while Charlotte and Rex followed Zarek onto the yacht

It was a luxurious threedeck vessel, gleaming white

The first level contained business reception areas, the second was an entertainment deck with a large pool, and the 

third housed private suites. At the very top was an exclusive area with the best views, furnished with oversized 

circular sofas

Tiago Amaral personally welcomed them

He clasped Zarek’s arm, his wrinkled face beaming with a smile

His enthusiasm was almost unsettling

Inside, about a dozen local elites and wealthy figures had gathered

Among them was a petite, attractive young woman with honeytoned skin and an infectious smile

Chapter 48 

This is my granddaughter, Célia Amaral. She’s twentyone, just returned from studying in Londonan MSc in Media and Communications. She attended the same university as you, Mr. Weasley,Tiago announced proudly

Charlotte and Rex remained on deck, but they could see inside through the floortoceiling windows

Witnessing this scene, they exchanged knowing glancesSo this was a matchmaking attempt

Zarek greeted everyone with his usual polished courtesy

Célia couldn’t take her eyes off him, clearly captivated. Standing barely fivefootthree, she gazed up at the sixfootthree Zarek with barely contained excitement, her heart practically leaping from her chest

If we’d known Mr. Amaral had these intentions, the CEO would never have come,Rex said with resignation

What’s he supposed to sayI’m inviting you so I can introduce my granddaughter?Charlotte crossed her arms. Besides, maybe they’ll actually hit it off. Could be the beginning of a great romance.” 

She’s definitely not his type.” 

How would you know?” 

I certainly-Rex was saying when his eyes darted toward the dock. His voice suddenly cut off as he exclaimed, What is she doing here?!” 

Who?” 

Charlotte followed his gaze

A striking woman with shoulderlength hair was approaching. She was exceptionally slender with a long neck and delicate features, wearing a black satin slip dress and carrying a small black clutch. Her cool presence reminded 

Charlotte of a black swan

Olivia Waldorf, general manager of the local branch,Rex explained while hurrying toward her

So this was Olivia

Charlotte had seen her name in the briefing materials but hadn’t realized she would be such a stunning woman

Ms. Waldorf,Rex intercepted her as she began climbing the steps

Rex,Olivia acknowledged him with cool detachment. It’s been a while.” 

As she was about to move past him, she noticed Charlotte. Her expression hardened. And you are?” 

Charlotte extended her hand confidently. Hello, Ms. Waldorf. I’m Charlotte Whitmore, Mr. Weasley’s executive 

secretary.” 

Perhaps it was her imagination, but Olivia’s expression seemed to grow even colder, a flash of pain crossing her eyes. Secretary. How typical.”

Charlotte: ” 

Olivia didn’t shake her hand, instead brushing past them with an icy aura and heading inside

What’s her story?Charlotte asked Rex, confused

Rex sighed. She’s the daughter of a close friend of the Weasley family. She practically grew up in their household. She and the CEO have acomplicated history. A lovehate relationship, you might say.” 

Charlotte’s eyes widened in understanding. Ah, I see.” 

No wonder Zarek had prioritized Portugal. The person he’d been thinking about was here
