Charlotte immediately suppressed all her emotions and greeted Lucy with a smile, "I didn't wait long. You came at just the right time, Lucy. Please, have a seat. The refreshments the helpers prepared today are delicious."

Charlotte gestured for Lucy to sit down, and without dilly-dallying, Lucy naturally took a seat.
