Until Charlotte gently touched her arm, Annie Anne was brought back from her daze.
"Annie, what's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable with your body? Why do you look so pale?"
Charlotte noticed Annie had been somewhat absent-minded all along, thinking about her current situation, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"I..."
Annie opened her mouth, but her voice was too quiet for Charlotte to hear.
Clenching her fist at her side, Annie seemed as if she had made some kind of resolution.
When she looked up, she saw Charlotte had already opened the door to the lounge. Annie finally spoke:
"Charlotte, I'm sorry."
"What?"
Unexpectedly, Annie apologized to her, leaving Charlotte looking even more puzzled.
The action of taking off the ring on her finger came to a halt.
Annie slowly hugged her arms and said, "If it weren't for me, the rumors online wouldn't have spread."
Yesterday at the hotel, Annie witnessed the entire event, she had never seen Charlotte look so bad.
