I sighed as I looked at Charlotte's figure walking away from me. I wanted to stop her, but I was speechless, and I didn't want to upset her more. I didn't intend to offend her since I wished she would stay and talk with me, but it seemed my plan had failed.
I lost interest in having a night swim since I felt so guilty, and I walked towards the nearest chaise lounge and lay down while I was still thinking about Charlotte. I couldn't believe she would make me feel this way.
I didn't expect I would worry about how she felt since all I wanted was to follow her brother's request, and I could tell I would be doing all of this because I started to care about her and not because of that stupid contract I signed.
