Chapter 20 Did He Recognize Her ? Charlotte and Diana stepped into the elevator , just as the doors were about to close when a hand suddenly reached in .
The doors opened automatically .
Arthurs strikingly handsome yet aloof face appeared .
The receptionist greeted him respectfully , Mr.
Harrison , will you be joining us ? Arthur stepped in .
Although the elevator wasnt crowded , it felt uncomfortably tight and stifling .
Charlotte clenched her fists in horror , thinking , What is he doing here ? hapter 20 He Recognize Her ? She lifted her gaze and saw her reflection on the elevator wall .
The golden butterfly mask concealed her face , and she felt a bit calmer .
Thank goodness for the mask and the voice altering pill she had taken ; he wouldnt recognize her .
As the elevator doors slowly closed , Arthur turned toward Charlotte and said , Hello .
Charlotte maintained her distance , replying , Hello .
Her voice was soft and pleasant- definitely not one he was familiar with .
Arthur was all too familiar with Charlottes voice ; it had stirred his desires in bed .
Shes not Charlotte , just someone who resembles her , he thought , feeling an inexplicable irritation .
The elevator ascended slowly as Charlotte remained uneasy .
Suddenly , Arthur asked , Are you Ms.
Aroma ? Yes , Charlotte answered , keeping her aloof demeanor ; Ms.
Aroma never engaged in casual chatter .
I want to discuss a collaboration with you .
Do you have time later ? We can go over the details , Arthur said .
Sorry , Im busy , Charlotte refused decisively .
Internally , she rolled her eyes , thinking , He can discuss business anytime ; why wont he just divorce me ? Arthur was surprised by her direct refusal , curiosity flickering in his eyes .
Just then , the elevator doors opened .
Diana stepped out first , followed by Charlotte .
As she brushed past him , a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils , mingled with something familiar .
He stared at her retreating figure , lost in thought .
There was something about her that felt too familiar .
It was too coincidental and too unusual .
Once no longer feeling Arthurs gaze , Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief .
She whispered to Diana , I thought he recognized me .
Diana replied coolly , Dont worry .
He wont .
Hell just be confused about why you rejected him .
You shouldnt have turned him down .
Charlotte blinked .
Why ? Diana explained , Its a chance to make money .
That made sense .
She needed to consider Dianas suggestion seriously .
Charlotte went to see Edward first .
He was thrilled to see her and praised the remarkable effects of her aromatherapy .
Near the end of their conversation , Edward said , Ms.
Aroma , Ill be blunt .
Can you do me a favor ? My grandson is suffering from severe depression and cant sleep .

Is there any way you can help ? Can I meet him ? Charlotte asked .
Edward replied , Of course .
Ill arrange for someone to take you there .
Be careful ; hes emotionally fragile right now .
Yes , I will , said Charlotte .
Charlotte followed the servant to an upstairs room .
As she opened the door and stepped in , a sudden object flew toward her .
She couldnt dodge in time , and it hit her directly in the face .
Her mask tumbled to the floor .
From the corner of the stairs , Arthur slowly ascended and caught sight of Charlottes face .
