He unconsciously swallowed and began to explain, "It's because I don't want to sit next to you. You know what you're like, in a moment you'll start saying something's wrong and hit me."
"Ha," Ivy River snorted coldly, "So you know I have a bad temper, yet you still dare to provoke me?"
"I don't dare, which is why I'm sitting next to President Yeaton. I haven't done anything inappropriate, right Charlotte? You don't mind, do you?"
Gale Wiles looked at Charlotte Yeaton with a smile on his face.
Charlotte Yeaton nodded awkwardly, "It's fine, you can just sit here."
At the same time, she discreetly pinched Gale Wiles under the table.
Gale Wiles withdrew his hand in pain, "You heard her, she doesn't mind, so stop nagging me already."
