Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 29

After the weekend, on Wednesday, Stanley, the insignificant celebrity who used to be my client, contacted me all of a sudden, which was a surprise to me. After all, the decoration of her wedding room was about to come to an end.

She said that she came up with a new idea regarding the design of her backyard.

Previously, according to her request, the backyard, which was not spacious, was built into a Japanese-styled courtyard. Now it was almost finished. And she had a new idea.

I was going to have a headache.

In line with the principle that clients are God, I patiently advised her, "Miss Lance, it's like this. You approved the previous development plan. And the construction of the backyard is almost completed. If we change it now, the previous budget will..."

"What? Are you afraid that I can't afford it?"

Before I could finish my words, Stanley shouted at me over the phone.

She acted as if she feared that I would think that she was poor.

When I heard that she was willing to pay, which would make the issue less tricky, I quickly said, "Well, then I'll make an appointment with you. Let's meet and talk it out."

Stanley was indeed not someone approachable.

She said that she had been filming in an ancient courtyard near the outskirts of City Y recently. Thinking that the garden inside was good, she wanted to change her backyard into one like that.

When I heard her words, I felt a headache. There was some distance between the mountain and downtown. It would take one or two hours to get there by bus alone.

Even so, the customers mattered the most.

So I had to agree.

The meeting between her and me was scheduled for 12 p.m. the next day. Because she happened to be free at that time.

Early in the morning, I went to the mountain by car. Finally, I arrived at the place where we had agreed to meet at 12 p.m.

Stanley's assistant found me and said that because the previous shootings were filmed late and her show was changed into being filmed at noon, asking me to wait for a moment.

Because of the shooting, I couldn't go into the yard. So I could only wander outside. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The scenery on the mountain was very good. So was the air.

I sat on a stone in a daze, feeling relaxed.

In less than half an hour, Stanley's assistant came to me again and said that they needed a long wilted branch for shooting, asking me to get one on the mountain and give it to them later.

Stanley indeed wasn't polite to me.

But I dared not to refuse her as well. After all, Stanley was a tough person to deal with. If she made things difficult for me in terms of the design plan, I would be busy.

Along the way up the mountain, I found that the mountain seemed to have been cleared up. Not to mention the wilted branches, there was not even a big rock.

I had been walking on the mountain for about half an hour and simply couldn't find any withered branches. I was about to go back...

I turned around and saw Caroline!

"Why is she here?"

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart! I wanted to bypass her. But Caroline came over at me.

I asked her, "Why are you here?"

Caroline looked at me and said with a faint smile, "Charlotte, didn't you ask me to come to the mountain and worship Buddha, saying that the Buddha could bless the baby come to this world safe and sound?"

I didn't even know what she was talking about!

All of a sudden, I felt somewhat frightened.

There was no one around. If she pushed me down from here, even if someone could find me, my child would definitely die!

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became! I turned around and ran away!

Caroline grabbed me. And I was so scared that I pulled her hand away and ran desperately!

I wanted to keep my child alive!

After running for a while, I looked back and found that Caroline didn't catch up with me. Then I was relieved.

I went back to the place where Stanley was filming. Her assistant found me and said that Stanley was tired from filming and she didn't want to change the courtyard and would like to keep its current look.

As soon as I heard this, I was so angry!

Stanley wasted a whole day of mine. And my child probably would have been killed because of her!

I went down the mountain in anger and began to work overtime after I went back to the company.

Although I still wanted to go on working at

11 PM., I was afraid that the child couldn't bear it. So I had to put away the work and go home.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, several policemen came over and said, "Charlotte Archer, there is evidence showing that you have something to do with an intentional murder case. Please come with us."

Then they handcuffed me on my wrist.
