Star boss she is beautiful and sassy

Chapter 905. Yearning and Lingering Affection? Unable to Let Go! He awaits her reply!

One of them was on the fourth floor, and the other was on the first floor, gazing at each other across the night.

His red eyes became exceptionally deep in the night, fixed on Charlotte standing on the balcony.

Charlotte quickly said into the personal terminal, "Wait a moment, I'll be right down."

After saying that, she hurriedly hung up the call and turned to walk outside.

They hurried down to the first floor, where Charlotte quickly came to his side.

"What's the matter? Why did you come all this way to find me?" Charlotte asked as soon as she stopped.

She was in such a hurry to come down that she didn't ask him what was going on over the phone; she just wanted to talk about it when they met.

What could possibly have caused him, the highest-ranking leader of the 8th Strategic Support Force, to personally come to her dormitory late at night to find her?
Ares watched as Charlotte adjusted her breathing slightly, knowing that she had descended the stairs at an extremely fast pace.

"No need to rush." ​​That was the first thing he said.

Charlotte quickly composed herself and looked at him with a questioning expression.

Under her gaze, Ares then said, "You're leaving tomorrow, and your internship will officially be over."

Charlotte continued to look at him: So what? Big brother, what exactly are you trying to say?
Ares said calmly, "I have something to do and can't get away, so I won't see you off."

Hearing this, Charlotte still didn't understand—"Hmm...you came all this way just to say goodbye and exchange pleasantries?"
Wouldn't it have been better to just attend the farewell party and say goodbye directly? It would have saved both time and effort.

However, Charlotte thought again that the farewell party did not require the participation of the highest leader, which was always the custom.

If he were to appear at the scene, it would make others feel constrained and inconvenient.

Originally, she didn't think he would see the interns off.

As a major general, he didn't need to go to such lengths; that's usually how it is.

But now that it's time to say goodbye, why did you only contact her alone?

Why... did you only say goodbye to her?

Charlotte was very puzzled, feeling that his appearance at this moment was somewhat strange.

However, she didn't say much, only replying, "You're too kind, Major General. Colonel Brown has made all the arrangements for my departure, so there won't be any problems."

Charlotte was referring to Owen Brown, Ares's chief aide.

The intern leaving was a minor matter, and with Irving personally overseeing it, everything was naturally handled smoothly.

Charlotte waited patiently for Ares to continue.

Surely he wouldn't have made a special trip just to say those things.

Why not just send her a text message?
After that, Ares fell into a long silence.

He didn't say anything more, but he didn't leave on his own initiative.

On the surface, he had no expression and appeared completely calm.

However, despite his composed expression, his right palm slightly clenched.

Beside him, Charlotte was also observing him discreetly.

For some reason, she felt that... he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

She wasn't sure if she had seen correctly, after all, he had always been reserved.

So, does he really have something he wants to say to her?
A night breeze blew by, carrying a hint of chill.

The stars shone brightly, spreading across the earth along with the moonlight.

The chirping of insects further accentuated the unique tranquility of the night.

It was a quiet and peaceful night.

Charlotte looked at Ares, who was also looking at her.

Unwittingly, their eyes met and their gazes became intertwined.

Red eyes and black eyes gaze at each other, looking directly into each other's eyes.

His eyes were so deep, like dark flames burning with an intense emotion that should never have existed in the darkness.

Charlotte felt herself being drawn to those eyes once again.

Just like several times before, it felt as if my gaze was being pulled tightly, unable to be separated.

Everything around them seemed to disappear, leaving only each other.

The streetlights cast a soft, warm glow, illuminating only the area where they were.

Finally, Ares spoke slowly, "I'll wait for your reply after the holiday." He looked at her, his expression serious.

At this moment, Charlotte finally understood; so that's how it was.

He met with her alone because he hadn't received a response before.

Charlotte nodded: "Yes, I will seriously consider it."

Just as they had agreed, this holiday period would be the limit.

Ares seemed to want to say something more, but just like before, he fell silent again.

His gaze shifted, and he suddenly looked elsewhere.

Without realizing it, the fingers on his right hand twitched slightly again.

Secret, obscure, almost imperceptible.

He lightly rubbed his fingertips together, and it seemed as if there was something faintly in his palm.

Charlotte didn't notice the movement in his hands, only feeling that his appearance... well, how should I put it? seemed a little awkward?
Finally, she decided to ask.

Since he won't tell her, then she should ask him directly.

"Is there anything else?" she asked, getting straight to the point.

Ares paused slightly, then instinctively looked at her.

Charlotte looked at him with a puzzled expression, waiting for his answer.

His right hand clenched unconsciously, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he looked away somewhat awkwardly.

"It's nothing, you should get some rest." His voice was low, but not as calm as usual.

It was as if something was shaking his heart.

Charlotte was even more puzzled; his behavior only made her more concerned.

She suddenly realized that perhaps he wanted to say more than just what he had just said.

Besides saying goodbye and reminding her to give him an answer, he probably had other things to say.

But why did they choose to remain silent at the last minute?

Surely there must be some hidden reason behind it?

Or is there something she doesn't know?

Charlotte was completely baffled.

However, she chose to respect the other party's decision regardless.

Since he chose not to say, there was no need for her to keep asking.

That would just seem very impolite.

Charlotte replied, "Okay, you should get some rest too."

The two said their goodbyes, and she turned and left first.

But after taking only a few steps, Charlotte suddenly stopped.

She turned to look at him, her expression earnest: "Major General, thank you so much for everything these past few days. Really, thank you so much."

She thanked him for his care, in every sense of the word.

The night was hazy, and a cool breeze was blowing.

Ares gazed at her silently, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

The deep emotions in those red eyes were blurred by the night, making them impossible to discern.

He realized that she had noticed all the special care he had given her during this time.

Charlotte always faced things head-on, openly and honestly.

But when their eyes met, they became somewhat locked in a stalemate.

As if pulled by invisible threads, they intertwined and merged, frozen in this brief moment.

It was just a fleeting glance, yet it inexplicably carried a sense of longing and tenderness.

Even the night, which should have been cool, inexplicably felt scorching hot.

Thank you for your company and support, my darlings! (^з^)-☆
