Charlotte saw that her eyes kept staring straight ahead. She asked, "Charlotte, do you know that man?"
"Who is he? I really want to sign him."
Charlotte said calmly, "Manager Qin, I don't know him. Let's go."
She then turned and walked toward the private room inside.
When Charlotte entered the private room, she saw two people already sitting there. One was Andrew, and the other girl she did not know.
Andrew stood up immediately when he saw them come in. "Miss Su, Manager Qin, you are here."
"Please have a seat."
Manager Qin noticed the other girl and showed a trace of displeasure in her eyes but did not show it on her face.
She asked, "President He, did you arrange to meet someone else?"
The "someone else" Manager Qin mentioned was Vivi.
Vivi had also come today to sign a contract with Andrew.
Manager Qin looked at Vivi and asked Andrew, "President He, who is she?"
Andrew quickly smiled and introduced, "Manager Qin, this is a new artist recently signed by Fengxing, a newcomer."
Charlotte did not see Vivi as a threat. A newcomer was nothing to her since she already had her own place in the entertainment industry.
Manager Qin frowned when she heard it was a newcomer. "President He, what do you mean by this?"
Vivi felt embarrassed hearing that and sat uncomfortably in her seat.
Charlotte knew about Vivi's ambition. Vivi once vowed to take Charlotte's place. She did not expect to see her here today.
Andrew smiled and said, "Manager Qin, I mean no disrespect. Vivi is a newcomer. I just want Charlotte to know her, so she can help guide her in the future."
Charlotte did not like working with newcomers, especially those she disliked at first sight.
But since Andrew was under Andrew's influence, she did not want to make things difficult. She smiled and said, "Of course, since we are all part of the Fengxing family now, we need to help each other more."
Charlotte acted very generous. She took the initiative and held out her hand to Vivi. "Hello, Charlotte."
Vivi was a bit surprised by the gesture and quickly shook her hand. "Hello, Vivi."
When Charlotte heard the surname Shen, a trace of dislike flashed in her eyes. It was the same surname as that hateful person.
The moment their hands touched, Charlotte quickly pulled her hand back.
Before the meal, Andrew took out a contract and pushed it toward Charlotte. "Miss Su, please take a look. Are the terms satisfactory?"
"President Andrew said, if you are not satisfied with anything, feel free to speak up."
Manager Qin leaned her head and looked at the contract with Charlotte. They were both very satisfied.
The contract terms were even better than what they had proposed earlier.
Charlotte and Manager Qin exchanged glances and then said, "No problem. We can sign now."
Once she signed her name, she would openly receive Andrew's protection.
...
On the other side, Katherine finished her meal and headed to the restroom.
When she came out of the restroom, she unexpectedly ran into the person she least wanted to see, Charlotte.
Charlotte was standing in front of the washbasin, with a posture and expression as if she was deliberately waiting there.
Katherine walked to the sink without expression, turned on the tap, and let the water wash her hands, as if everything around her did not matter.
After washing her hands, Katherine turned to leave. Charlotte curled a mocking smile, "Didn't expect to see Dr. Katherine here too!"
Her tone was full of sarcasm and teasing, showing off her sense of superiority.
Katherine bit her lower lip slightly, took a deep breath to steady herself, then met Charlotte's gaze with a look of stubbornness and unwillingness.
"Oh, it's Miss Charlotte. I thought it was someone with bad eyesight standing here. Sorry, I really didn't recognize you."
Charlotte's face instantly turned pale, as if Katherine had hit a sore spot, and she shouted angrily, "Katherine, who are you calling someone with bad eyesight?"
Her voice echoed loudly in the restroom, filled with anger and loss of control.
Katherine stayed calm, glanced around the room, and said innocently, "Is anyone else here? Of course, I mean the person still wearing sunglasses in the bathroom!"
Her expression was peaceful but her tone held a subtle sharpness.
Charlotte scoffed, trying to regain the upper hand, "Katherine, does Andrew know you're seeing other men behind his back?"
"If he knew, do you think he wouldn't divorce you?"
Her words were full of threat and provocation, trying to shake Katherine's mind.
Katherine felt confused. Didn't Andrew tell Charlotte they were already divorced?
Wasn't he supposed to be eager to bring Charlotte home?
Why hadn't he told her?
Seeing Charlotte so arrogant in front of her, Katherine felt very annoyed.
"That's between Andrew and me. What does it have to do with you?"
"Are you his mistress outside?"
Her words hit Charlotte like a bomb. Charlotte snapped, "What are you talking about, Katherine?"
"Take it however you want. And don't try to seek attention in front of me. It's useless."
Charlotte laughed instead of getting angry. "What are you proud of, Katherine?"
"Do you know Andrew set up a media company just for me?"
"Do you know how much money he spent to sign me over?"
Katherine cursed Charlotte's whole family in her mind. How much money he spent was none of Charlotte's business.
She smiled and said, "Since he's willing to spend so much, maybe he thinks you can make him more money. Work hard!"
"Oh, and don't forget, half of his money is mine too."
After saying this, Katherine gave Charlotte no chance to reply and turned to leave.
Charlotte could make things difficult for her, but Katherine wouldn't let that happen.
Charlotte was so angry she gritted her teeth. Katherine, we'll see if you can still smile later.
Katherine returned to her seat and left the restaurant with Joshua.
Joshua glanced at the time, "It's only one o'clock. Isn't it too early to go to the hospital?"
"Want to come to my office to rest for a bit?"
Katherine: "You still need your lunch break. I won't disturb you. I'll drive around nearby and buy some things."
Joshua didn't insist, "Okay, send me a message when you get to the hospital."
"Okay."
Joshua went back to his office and immediately called Secretary Jin, who was preparing for a nap, "Secretary Jin, get the equipment ready. Come with me to Xiehe Hospital later."
