She just sighed, nodded, and said, "Right, well then you focus on the necklace design. I'll turn down the show right away."
With that, she got up, sneaked a glance at the door like a thief, confirmed that Justin wasn't back yet, and tiptoed towards the exit.
"So you're leaving just like that?" Charlotte arched an eyebrow, handed her the folder, and said, "The documents are still here."
But Coco just waved it off, saying, "Just leave it here. It's no use to me. I'll get going first, Charlotte."
Her voice hushed, Coco met Charlotte's amused gaze, and asked in confusion, "Charlotte, why are you laughing?"
The latter gave a sly glance behind Coco and said, "Turn around and see for yourself."
As if anticipating something, Coco felt a twinge in her heart. She turned around nervously, her worst fears confirmed when she saw Justin Battleson stepping in through the door.
Nervously, she took a step towards the door, swallowed hard, and said, "Hello, Mr. Battleson."
