Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 143

Chapter 143:.

The next morning, as I was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, the doorbell rang.

Who would come so early?

Confused, I went to open the door. I was dumbfounded to see the person standing at the door.

It was Charlene. She was wearing a white shirt and suit pants. She looked very capable and professional.

Then, she turned a smile to me.

“Is Mr. Sullivan in? I have a document here that I need him to sign.

It’s urgent.”

Sure enough, he had a folder in his hand. Not long after, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs behind me. I turned and saw Derek.

I thought I should behave accordingly, so I offered Charlene a pair of slippers.

“Come in, please!” I said.

Then I went back to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Derek sat on the couch in the living room, reading the document she had brought.

I could hear their conversation. I didn’t really understand most of what they were saying, but from what Charlene was saying, I could tell she was a competent person.

After a while, Aaron went to the kitchen to help me prepare breakfast.

Once we got breakfast out, I saw Derek signing the document with a pen. After picking up the signed document, Charlene looked down at the table, stood up and walked over to me with a smile on her face.

“This smells wonderful. I haven’t had breakfast yet,” she said.

I didn’t like how nonchalant she was with me.

“I had no idea you’d be here, nor did I know you hadn’t had breakfast yet, so I didn’t fix you anything,” I said, trying to keep my smile.

Derek got up from the couch and came over to our side.

So, I smiled at Charlene and pushed my plate of food towards her.

“Here, take mine. It wouldn’t do to let you starve to death at your brother’s house.” When I told her I hadn’t made her breakfast, I could tell she was embarrassed, but now she was delighted.

She looked at the food on the table, folded her arms and smiled, “No, it’s okay! I was just kidding.”

Since she declined my offer, I didn’t want to waste any more time playing with her, so I sat down, ready to eat breakfast.

Derek and Aaron also took a seat.

Suddenly, Charlene commented, “I prefer not to eat too much in the morning. Usually, a glass of milk and an apple is enough. Otherwise, I will put on weight more easily. I make a point of weighing myself every day. When I notice that I suddenly gain a little weight, I panic”.

Hearing her say that, I unconsciously touched my belly.

I wasn’t necessarily fat, but I rarely exercised, so my muscles were a little soft.

Judging from her comment, it was easy to deduce that she paid special attention to her figure.

I couldn’t resist the temptation to look at her body.

There was no flab on her body, and her waist was curvy. She had large breasts, a sexy ass, as well as slender, shapely limbs. No doubt, men would fall head over heels for her, and women would be jealous of her figure.

I deduced that she had to follow a strict diet and exercise routine.

It was then that I stared at her ass.

Her well-tailored suit pants enveloped her ass.

She had a body well suited for giving birth to children.

Just as I was in a daze, Derek handed me a jam sandwich. “You need to eat more. You’re too skinny. You’d better gain some weight.”

Shocked, I accepted the sandwich from him. When he finished breakfast, he and Charlene left. I walked up to the door and saw their cars leaving one after the other.

Charlene was driving the car that Gifford had given her. The car window was open and her hair was blowing in the wind.

It was certainly a beautiful sight to see a woman driving a car.

So I decided to hire a private instructor to teach me. I was determined to learn to drive.

When I passed by Dere International, I saw many balloons hanging on the door of the company. There was also a banner that said Happy 6th Anniversary, Dere International!

It turns out that it had only been six years since the company was founded, and its achievements could be considered monumental.

I suddenly felt like seeing Derek, so I got out of the car and walked into the building.

When I arrived at his office, his assistant told me he was in a meeting and instructed me to wait for Derek in his office.

I looked at the nearby meeting room, gently made my way to it and peeked through the gap in the blinds.

The meeting room was large and there were a lot of people inside. They were probably the top executives of Dere International.

Meanwhile, Charlene was standing by the big screen, playing the slide show and explaining her plans.

The way she moved and carried herself was so elegant and full of confidence.

Everyone was listening intently to his speech, including Derek.

As much as I disliked her, I was still in love with Charlene’s charms and capabilities; what else could a man feel?

I wondered if Derek would be attracted to her.
