Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 116

Zoe looked at the person in front of her with some amusement. She shook her head and directly pushed open the door that was blocked by Charlotte and walked in.

Charlotte had no choice but to slip back to her office. She kept taking deep breaths.

Fortunately, she had been smart just now. Otherwise, there was a real chance of her being forced to meet the old madam. She wondered what this rumored old woman of the Fuller family was like.

"Charlotte, what are you thinking about? Don't tell me you're going back on your word and go meet her?" Charlotte said to herself.

When Zoe walked past Charlotte again and saw her looking distressed, Zoe was resisting laughter.

The next afternoon, when Charlotte watched Shane leave the office through the glass door, she suddenly felt a little fortunate.

"What are you giggling about?"

Zoe asked. She had knocked the door gently before habitually putting a stack of documents on the desk and laying both hands on it.

"It's... It's nothing."

Charlotte shook her head. She reflexively turned her gaze towards another spot.

Zoe did not continue to ask questions, but turned and left directly.

At the largest airport in River City, Cole looked nervously at the people coming and going, for fear of missing the figure of Mrs. Fuller Senior.

After more than ten minutes had passed, Cole finally saw a person walking slowly out from the departure gate. Due to her excellent maintenance, he couldn't tell that this was a woman in her eighties at all.

"Mrs. Fuller Senior, Mr. Fuller is waiting for you in the car."

"Shane is here?"

Mrs. Fuller Senior looked at Cole with a puzzled look on her face. "Had Shane had a change of heart?" she wondered.

Without wasting too much time, they walked straight to the car parked by the side of the road.

Even through the car window, Shane could still see the person walking towards him. The rage on his body instantly dissipated as he opened the door and said, "Grandma."

"Ah, you've come."

As she looked at the increasingly handsome young man in front of her, the old woman suddenly felt a little gratified.

After Theodore Fuller passed away, she had left River City and went abroad to relieve her boredom. Once she left, she had not returned for many years. Nevertheless, she still could not let go of everything that happened in River City.

"Mm." Shane was still taciturn.

Mrs. Fuller Senior didn't blame him. She simply looked at the constantly moving scenery outside the window and couldn't help sighing with emotion, "River City has changed a lot. Maybe I really have left for too long."

"Mrs. Fuller Senior, River City has not only developed very fast in the past few years, but the Fuller Group has also developed very fast."

When he noticed that the atmosphere inside the car was rather tense, Cole couldn't help replying.

If Mrs. Fuller Senior knew that Mr. Fuller had already gotten a wife and a child, she would be even more shocked, wouldn't she?

But in order to live a good life, he did not dare to talk about this.

"Not bad, not bad.'

Mrs. Fuller Senior was laughing, but she was stopped by a voice beside her.

"Cole, park at the entrance to the office and send Grandma to the old house."

Shane gave simple instructions and didn't give anyone a chance to disagree.

"Yes, Mr. Fuller."

Cole only glanced quickly at Mrs. Fuller Senior. She didn't look very satisfied with this, but he could only agree glumly.

He didn't want to be stuck between them...

At the entrance to the Fuller Group.

After the car stopped, Shane directly opened the door and his long legs strode out.

As she watched the figure enter into the building, Mrs. Fuller Senior's weathered voice came from inside the car. "Is Shane very busy?"

"Yes, Mr. Fuller is very busy every day. The Fuller Group has expanded a lot compared to a few years ago, and correspondingly, there are more responsibilities to handle."

Cole could only shake his head helplessly and explain patiently.

"Why is this child as eager to prove himself as his father?"

Mrs. Fuller Senior's heart ached as she frowned. Once again, she stared at the expansive building of the Fuller Group.

Outside the CEO's office, Zoe knocked on the door. After the person inside replied, she walked in.

"Mr. Fuller, this our opponent in the public auction next week. Please have a look."

Zoe quietly handed over a pile of neatly arranged documents in her hand, waiting for a reply.

When he saw the words "Lin's Company" on the file, Shane raised his eyebrows when he saw the words "Emerson Corporation". He lifted his face with its ice-cold expression and asked, "Does Miss Emerson know about this?"

"Ms. Emerson still doesn't know yet. Should I tell her?"

"There's no need," Shane said expressionlessly.

As he watched Zoe's retreating back, Shane continued to read the background information of the company on the desk.

A few minutes later, he picked up the landline on the office table. At that same moment, the phone beside Charlotte also rang.

"Hello, this is the Fuller Group."

'Come here.'

After Charlotte spoke, she heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the line. Her entire body trembled, but she maintained a smile on her face.

"Mr. Fuller, what can I do for you?"

"I won't say it a second time."

The arrogant words boomed in Charlotte's ears. Listening to the busy tips from the other end of the phone, she had to obediently walk to the office.

Standing at the door to the CEO's office, Charlotte took a deep breath, then another, before knocking on the door.

"Come in."

"Mr. Fuller, you were looking for me?"

Charlotte looked at the diligently working man in confusion. Suddenly, she thought of the phrase "The most attractive man is a hardworking man."

"Look at this document."

Shane didn't even raise his head as he pushed over the document at the corner of the table.

"This is..."

The list of contenders in the public auction!

As she looked at the familiar line of words, a flash of something indescribable came across Charlotte's eyes. When she looked down, as expected, she saw the Emerson Corporation's name.

The Emerson Corporation...

"Are you showing this to me on purpose?"

Charlotte asked in response. There wasn't the slightest bit of emotion in her eyes.

"Yes." Shane suddenly got up and stood less than a meter away from Charlotte. He asked in a condescending tone, "Charlotte, can you win the auction?"

Charlotte's fair fingers tightened their grip on the document.

"I believe I chose the right person. What the company lacks now isn't capable designers, but strong- willed and tenacious designers."

Shane looked at the woman in front of him with a reserved expression.

"Yes, I can."

Charlotte nodded her head. With a bitter smile on her face, she looked at Shane and continued, "I will win the public auction this time. I won't make the same mistake as I did before. It was enough for me to make the same mistake once." "Good." As he saw the determination in that pair of dark eyes, Shane slowly felt a touch of appreciation for her. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

He believed that he had made the right choice. This woman might give him a pleasant surprise.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"No... I don't."

Charlotte shook her head. Right now, her mind was filled with a series of thoughts regarding the auction this time.

She had already learned some superficial information from Zoe, but she didn't know that Emerson Corporation would also be participating.

"I'm flying to W Country later." When he saw that Charlotte was speechless, Shane raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Charlotte looked into the man's eyes and said, "Ah? Oh."

Why was he in such a rush to go to W Country?
