Capítulo 24: The Only Help
The next day Charlotte had Gordon's coffee and daily itinerary and all the necessary documents waiting in his desk for him.
Gordon knew he had an appointment with a French owned business about having them carry Gordon's jewelry line in their stores. He remembered that Charlotte could speak French.
He immediately hit the speed dial button for her office.
"Hey!" Her voice was gentle and intimate.
"I need you to attend my ten o'clock meeting with me. I need to make use of your French skills." Gordon got straight to the point.
"I'll be happy to." She answered.
When the time came, she walked with him to the meeting on another floor. There was a long conference table and people from both companies were present. Gordon introduced her to the CEO of Beaux Bijoux (Beautiful Jewelry). He introduced her not as his secretary and not as a translator but rather as his girlfriend.
The older man's eyes widened.
"I'm impressed. You keep your woman close and she's willing to accompany your work even." Matias Blanca said in surprise.
It's a pleasure to meet you." Charlotte nodded.
Gordon took her aside and explained that he wanted her to translate the other companies presenters to the room. Not all of those presenting would speak Chinese. Most of them would only know French.
When the meeting began, she took her place beside the podium and waited for the speaker to start. Her clear voice rang out to the room, giving a perfect translation.
Gordon was stunned. She had said she only knew a little French. He didn't expect her to be fluent. She could cook, paint, play chess, and knew French. What other hidden talents did she possess? His curiosity was piqued.
When it came time for the Chinese side to speak, Charlotte started to take her seat. The words of Mr. Blanca boomed our, Miss Xia you can go ahead and translate from Chinese to French please." Again, she translated perfectly. Gordon was listening to the French words fall off of her tongue. Her voice was warm.
You don't hate me in The future. He watched.
"My office. Immediately." Gordon spoke up. Everyone in front of the jewelry meeting just now sucked in a breath collectively.
Charlotte obeyed. As soon as he slammed her against the wall his mouth covered hers, desperate to breathe her in.
She moaned, low and primal as his kiss moved to her neck and shoulders. "Tell me that you love me. In French." Gordon demanded. Charlotte complied in a shaky voice, for Gordon was still kissing her collarbone in that moment. Gordon lifted her legs and wrapped them around his waist. He carried her to his desk and sat her down on top of it, leaning over her.
"Do you have any idea what you were doing to me in that meeting?" Gordon whispered.
"Do you have any idea what you are doing to me now?" She whispered in response. Then she leaned forward and initiated a deep kiss with him. His toes curled and his mind went blank.
A few minutes later he told her there would be dinner that evening to further discuss the cooperation between the two companies.
"I want you to attend with me." Gordon said. Charlotte quickly agreed.

That evening Gordon and Charlotte arrived at an upscale restaurant and were led by the waitstaff to a private room. Others had already arrived and were chatting.
"I'll be right back." Gordon explained.
A few minutes later a man approached Charlotte.
"Hey there, Beauty. You did great today." He loudly praised her. He tried to put his arm around her but she shoved it away. In the next moment Gordon stood between Charlotte and the unknown man. Gordon possessively wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Get your hands off my woman!"
————————
The man eyed Charlotte. He had to get her alone somehow. His instructions were to put her in a compromising situation and take photos.
All evening he looked for an opportunity but Gordon guarded her well. Sudden he had an idea. He grabbed two glasses of wine. He added a drug to one glass and approached the happy couple. He placed the glasses in front of them and said, "I apologize for my behavior earlier tonight. I didn't realize Miss Xia was already with an excellent man. Please accept a toast in your honor." He said.
Gordon eyes him coldly.
"Charlotte doesn't drink but I'll compensate her and drink both." The man was horrified to see Gordon toss back both servings of wine.
He laughed nervously and found a reason to leave the dinner party soon. No amount of money was worth provoking Gordon Zhou.

Awhile later Gordon began to frown. It suddenly had turned very hot. He loosened his tie and took off his suit jacket. But nothing stopped the sweat from pouring off of him.
"Gordon, are you not feeling well?" Charlotte asked. Gordon mumbles something unintelligible and stroked Charlotte's cheek. She frowned. Something was going on and she was worried. She stood up and announced, "Everyone, Gordon and I are honored to be here tonight but suddenly Gordon has taken ill. We'll be going first but we wish you an enjoyable evening."
No one seemed to mind her speech. She grabbed Gordon's cellphone and called his driver making him aware of the situation and asked for help getting Gordon into the car.
She helped Gordon to his feet and the driver met them in the entrance of the restaurant.
"So hot. Help me. Help me, Charlotte." Gordon whispered.
"I'll help you, I promise. Let's get you home." She asked the driver to call the Zhou family doctor and have him meet them at Gordon's villa. On the way there Gordon was more and more restless. He thrashed about, pulling at his clothes. He fell into Charlotte's arms and began kissing her in desperation.
They arrived at the villa and the driver and the doctor half carried half led Gordon to his bedroom.
"Charlotte?! Charlotte, where are you? Why did you leave me?" Gordon bellowed.
"I'm coming up behind you." Charlotte soothed.
They finally settled him in the bed but he thrashed about, more agitated than ever.
"What did he eat and drink tonight?" The doctor asked.
"He had a steak and some sides. And wine." Charlotte recounted.
"I thought so." The doctor said.
"What is it, doctor?" Charlotte asked.
"Miss Xia, I believe he's been drugged and by the looks of it there's quite a bit in his system. Sometimes in these situations cold baths can help but I think he's been given something a bit stronger. There is another way, but it requires..." the doctor's voice trailed away looking at Charlotte helplessly.
Charlotte swallowed hard. She had heard of things like this before. This had to be an attempt to discredit Gordon in some way. She turned to his driver. "Investigate this matter fully. Inform Mark Rong and one of you pull surveillance video from the restaurant. Please hurry." Charlotte commanded.
"Yes, Miss Xia." The driver hurried out.
"Any other instructions, doctor?" Charlotte asked.
"It's pretty straightforward from here. Just do your best to alleviate his symptoms. You can call if you need me, but otherwise I leave him to you." The doctor took his leave, being led away by the butler.
Now only they two were left in the room and Charlotte felt mixed emotions for what she knew would no longer be able to be put off. She looked at Gordon who was ripping his clothes like a madman.
"Slow down. Let me help you." Charlotte said. When her soft hands touched his chest to to help him unbutton it he grabbed her hand and pulled. She fell down on top of him and immediately He started kissing her.
"Charlotte! I need your help. Please help me. I'm so hot. Your hands are so cool." Gordon cried out.
Charlotte swallowed hard. "I know. I promise to help you. Just relax."
She unzipped her evening gown and it fell to the floor.
She climbed onto the bed beside him. She sighed deeply and gathered all her courage.
She cuddled up beside him and whispered to him.
"Gordon, please make love to me."
————————
Gordon's mind was muddled and his body on fire. But he was having the most wonderful dream about Charlotte. She had just asked him to make love to him so he knew he must be dreaming. He rolled over and pressed her underneath himself and began kissing her with all his passion. His hands moved over her body and touched all the places he dare not touch when was awake.
Charlotte gasped and moaned. She trembled. Gordon showed no signs of stopping anything. He began kissing all over body and she felt something hard against her. Then it was inside her. There was a tearing pain that caused a few tears to slip down Charlotte's cheek as she gritted her teeth. After the pain passed she realized he was still not satisfied. He kept on touching and kissing her and she felt a fire in her belly. She trembled and moaned, finally shouting his name as waves as passion and ecstasy rolled through her body.
