Peter's neck was stiff so he moved his head around. Only then did he look at Zoe.

Her hair was loose over her shoulders. She was wearing pajamas and slippers. In her hand was a dry plastic bag.

"Thank you for buying the things." Zoe put the plastic bag at the door of the bedroom and took out her phone to transfer money to him. With a ding, she smiled and shook her phone. "The money has been sent to you, please accept it."

"Okay." Peter felt very thirsty.

Zoe got under the sheets and turned off the bedside lamp.

Peter looked at the computer screen, but his fingers could no longer tap on the keyboard nimbly.

No wonder Zoe liked this shampoo and shower gel set so much. The combination was really fragrant. Peter couldn't help sniffing that sweet scent in the air.

As a man, he could not help but fantasize about her.

Peter clenched his fists and kept suppressing the desire in his heart to focus his attention on his work.

He had to concentrate and withstand it. Only when he was not affected by his desire could he stay with Zoe.

Peter kept trying to convince himself. Finally, he raised his hands and started to work.

Work, endless work. With it, he must be able to divert his attention.

Charlotte received a report from Peter when she woke up. He had sent the email at five o'clock in the morning.

Obviously, he had stayed up all night yesterday.

After Charlotte read just the two first lines of the email, her expression changed into something unfathomable. She immediately sent the documents to Avery.

After that, Charlotte got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She intended to go to the office today.

As soon as they got downstairs, Shane was standing at the bottom of the stairs. He was leaning against the stairs and wearing a Bluetooth headset, listening to the caller's words with a serious expression. Charlotte walked towards him and determined that Shane was on the phone with a foreigner.

Charlotte's footsteps sounded in Shane's ears. He turned around to look at her and opened his mouth to say, "Let's keep investigating this matter first. I want results."

He hung up the phone and took the laptop from her hand. "Why are you up so early?"

"I slept rather early yesterday." Charlotte went downstairs and said, "Peter sent me a report."
