Chapter 447
Sean had his back to Charlotte and hadn’t noticed her arrival.
The woman approaching him had flawless makeup, a tall figure, and striking features. She was objectively attractive.
“Hey, handsome,” she said with a flirtatious smile, flashing her phone. “Want to exchange numbers?”
Sean was still on the phone. Without looking at her, he waved her off.
“Oh, come on, don’t be so cold,” she pouted, her voice trailing off a sweet, teasing lift.
Sean stepped to the side, putting more distance between them, still focused on his call.
She stood there, a bit annoyed, but waited anyway.
When he finally hung up, he glanced back and saw she was still there.
“You’re honestly too good–looking,” she said boldly, lips curving into a grin. “I’ve never seen a guy like you in real life. You’re not from around here, right? Visiting? I could show you around–totally free, of course.”
Charlotte couldn’t see Sean’s expression from where she stood behind him, but she was close enough to hear his response- cool and indifferent.
“No thanks. I’m here to pick up my girlfriend.”
The woman’s smile faltered. “Oh. Already taken.”
She followed his gaze and spotted Charlotte standing a few steps away. Tilting her chin, she asked, “Is that her?”
At that, Sean turned around. The moment he saw Charlotte, the chill in his eyes melted away, replaced by warmth.
“Hey, Lottie.”
He walked toward her.
Charlotte’s expression was calm. “What are you doing here?”
“I’ve got a little free time. Thought I’d come keep you company,” Sean said gently, a stark contrast to how he’d just spoken to the woman earlier.
“I stopped by your firm yesterday afternoon. That’s when I found out you were out here for work.”
He naturally took the stack of case files from her arms.
“This place is known for its scenery. July’s the perfect time to visit. Since I had some time off, I figured I’d come and spend a few days with you.”
Green City was a popular tourist city in the northwest, and the small county they were in sat right below the snowcapped mountains. Not far away was a famous lake, known for its beauty year–round. Every year, travelers came from all over to see it.
Charlotte had only planned to stay for one night and return after court the next day. But now that the case was over and her schedule was flexible, she had time to extend her trip.
It hadn’t been part of her plan but seeing Sean here made her hesitate.
He had come all this way. She didn’t want to ruin the mood.
And truthfully, the place was breathtaking, peaceful and healing.
She couldn’t work nonstop forever. Maybe it really was time to slow down and take a break.
She looked up at him and said softly, “Okay. Let’s stay a few more days.‘

A smile tugged at his lips. “Alright. Which hotel are you staying at? I’ll take you back.”
She gave him the name.
“I’m staying there too. Let’s go together.”
Charlotte nodded.
It was the best hotel in town. She had already guessed he had booked the same one.
