Chapter 960

“Taking leave? Is Ethan feeling unwell?” Charlotte asked instinctively.

With Ethan absent, the process could only be put on hold for now.

Back at her desk, Charlotte considered sending him a message to check on his condition.

But even after typing the message, she deleted it.

Charlotte had already drawn a clear line between them, yet from yesterday’s events, it was obvious Ethan hadn’t completely let go of his feelings for her.

At a time like this, the only thing she could do was keep her distance.
