Reunion

This young lady was very familiar Ban. That was because, she used to play with him and Sophia back when they were kids. She used to be like Sophia back then, shy and timid. However, she now became cheerful and friendly after Ban saw her at the auction.

Ban felt nostagic after seeing his childhood friend again. She has a natural long curly brown hair. Her previous innocent look was replaced by confidence and possitivity.

"You know me?" Charlotte asked in confusion.

Even Nana glanced at Ban with puzzled look.

Ban read Charlotte's thought and raised his brow.

'No wonder why she was confused. I called her real name.'

"Of course. You are Charmaine, right? You're a popular celebrity known by everyone." Ban replied calmly.

"No. I heard you called me Charlotte." Charlotte said. She turned to Nana and asked, "Big sis, did you told him about my real name?"

Nana shifted her gaze from Charlotte to Ban from time to time. She gave Ban a profound smile and nodded, "I indeed told him about you, little sis. It's alright. He's a friend."

"Oh." Charlotte nodded.

'So he's a friend to my big sis. However, the way I saw their interactions to each other... they're like lovers.'

"Why are you naked again, big sis?" Charlotte asked as she saw Nana was covered by a Dark element. She knew it if this happens to her big sister. She turned to Ban and had an understanding look, "D-Did I come in a wrong time? I... Excuse me, I'll leave right away."

Nana changed her expression and blushed. She immediately held Charlotte's arm and childed, "What are you talking about, little sis? We were just talking about business."

Charlotte opened her mouth, but couldn't say more.

'Is flirting became a business nowadays? No, my sister is not that kind of person.'

Ban was somewhat amused and chuckled, "We are indeed talking about business just now. It's just that, you came in the wrong timing. You see, your big sister told me that her bottom are itching so I helped her out."

Nana blushed and gave Ban a death stare.

Charlotte rolled her eyes. She clearly saw them flirting with each other. She alrealy labled Ban as a pervert in her mind.

Ban almost choked when he read what's on her mind. His childhood friend labled him as a scum.

"I don't get to know your name yet." Charlotte asked Ban.

Ban squinted his eyes. He smiled, "People used to call me Whiss."

Charlotte twitched her eyes upon hearing the name. She suddenly recalled a young kid playing happily with her when she was a child. That kid used to call himself Whiss even though he doesn't have a nickname.

"M-May I know your real name?" Charlotte carefully asked. She stared at Ban and found his handsome face really familiar.

Ban smiled making Charlotte felt unease. He replied, "I have a surname Watson. And my name is Ban. I am Ban Watson."

In the future, he decided that this will be his private name, Ban Watson. His public name will be known as Thomas Watson. His alias will be called Whiss.

Charlotte's jaw dropped. She stared at Ban in a daze. She exclaimed, "You are Ban?!"

She only knew his name at that time, but the clues already told her that she found the right person.

"Long time no see you, Charlotte." Ban smiled gently. He patted her head.

"It's really you.." Charlotte muttered in a low voice as she approached Ban. Tears flowed out of her eyes in happiness.

Ban embraced her and the latter wrapped her arms on his back tightly.

Meanwhile, Nana glanced at the two like a curious cat.

'Turned out they really knew each other.'

...

Nana entered to her room leaving Ban and Charlotte have a private moment.

"It was a surprise when I saw you on the stage that night. I also didn't know that you've became a celebrity." Ban sat down. His childhood friend transformed into a beautiful maiden in just a blink of an eye.

'Time surely passed by very fast.'

"Mm. I'm only an internet celebrity. I'm mostly doing it out of hobby." Charlotte nodded. She asked, "What about you? You've changed a lot ever since the last time I saw you. How's your parents? How's Sohia? Are they doing well?" Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Ban with disbelief and awe.

"Sophia's fine. As for my parents, they died in a car accident two years ago." Ban nodded.

"What? They died two years ago?" Charlotte was shocked. She didn't think Ban was all alone in life. She said, "I'm sorry for asking. I didn't know that you are all by yourself all this time."

"Don't be. I am not alone. I found my real parents in the Capital." Ban shook his head.

"Oh? So you are adopted back then?" Charlotte asked. She continued, "Are you now living in the Capital?"

Ban shook his head, "No. I am still living in Angeles City. I will probably go back tomorrow." He paused and asked, "How's your parents? And how did you meet your big sister? Are you two blood related?"

Charlotte gave an awkward smile and replied, "My parents are fine. They are living in the Capital." She knew why Ban and her got separated. That was because her parents doesn't want her to play with him or any other kids that was poor in status. She continued, "As for big sis.. We've met when I arrived at the Capital with my parents a few years back. She liked me and made me her sworn sister. I was surprised at first at how she was being direct. Turned out that was really her attitude. Now, we are treating each other like real sisters. And I also learned a lot of things from her while I also helped her with her company. She's basically my sister and also my mentor."

Ban nodded. He thought how she acted normal when she say the term Divergents to the crowd at the auction.

"It's good that you are doing fine." He stood up and continued, "I should be going. Tell your big sis to give me a call if she wanted to inquire our business partnership more."

"You're leaving? I..." Charlotte reluctantly stood up and stared at Ban sadly. She still wanted chat with him a little more.

Ban shook his head. He patted her head, "We will meet again in the future. I'm sure we will have some private time then and I'll also visit your parents too."

"Okay." Charlotte nodded and escorted Ban out of the building.

Before Ban left, he gave her a ruby necklace which made her delighted.

...

"He left? Sigh.. I wanted to spend more time with him. I kind of like that guy." Nana squinted her eyes at Charlotte and smiled.

Charlotte pouted, "Stop saying nonsense, big sis. He's a minor just like me."

"Oh?" Nana was quite surprised. She mused for a second and continued, "I think he already had a lover though."

"He did?!" Charlotte was shocked. She sighed, "I..."

Nana giggled, "Don't worry, little sis. I have a plan for you. I will teach you how to seduce a man. Soon, he will never leave your side no matter how you push him away."

"What kind of nonsense are you saying, big sis?! I'm not into him!.. He's a.. a pervert!" Charlotte blushed furiously.

"Really?" Nana squinted her eyes and glanced at the necklace on Charlotte's chest. She asked, "I wonder why you accepted his gift though?"

"Ugh!" Charlotte choked. She wanted to find a hole to hide her embarrassment.

"Heh. You are too young to compete with me, little sis. I am more than 300 years old after all." Nana giggled and went back to her room to rest.
