Appreciation and Love (Charlotte POV)

"Y-yes, ma'am. S-so some of the leaders wanted to build a few clothing factories here… A-And I just wanted to get your permission before I proceed with it," I said. 

"So it's not a question?" 

"Y-yes… I-I guess so,"

"*sigh*... If it's from the leaders, there is no need to ask me for permission," 

"Really? But I thought since you're basically the king of this city, I would have to ask permission from you and stuff… is that not right?" 

"Of course, you'll have to ask permission, but just like I said, there is no need if it is from the leaders. Just if I ask, later on, tell me it's from the leaders… Also, don't try and use that as an excuse because I know what they want and need," She responded, and the confidence in her voice made me a bit jealous. 

I was jealous of how closely she knew the leaders and how basically none of the other executives knew anything about them.
