[She shakes her head. She loves her sister, but she can't confide in her. Charlotte takes a deep breath and shifts her weight from Bruce to Harley. The collar coming off is a relief; Charlotte's tears are drying, but she's still shaking from anger and upset.]
Hey though - don't lose that fucking thing. I'm gonna use it in this stupid apology. I know what you're saying but... if you go after him, you'll have Ignacio after you. And what better way to get at youth to go after me or Cass? And no one will care if we're slammed in the people zoo or whatever and they won't let you help. Harls, help me make this apology bloody brilliant. We'll have a laugh but make it look serious?
[A plan's starting to form in her mind - a vague one, because it's Charlotte and all she can see is Huaisang taking her fake apology completely seriously on the network. She goes back to stroking Bruce.]
He reminds me of a Lord I knew back in London. He were Lucy's cull as well. Couldn't stand me because I knew. I knew he were a snake, and not just his dick. He was evil. Turns out he was even worse - fucking murderer what sent my Ma to the gallows and countless girls to their graves. Lucy won't see it - but I need my damn job back to make sure she's safe. He had her kneeling like a damn dog at his feet.
[Harley's hand in her hair is so soothing, and Charlotte can feel the upset dissipating at least a little.] You're so... So brilliant. If I have to have a dominant, I am glad you are she.
