Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 122

"Are you asleep?"

Charlotte suddenly closed her eyes tightly. After thinking for a while, she sent the text message before putting down her mobile phone. Her heart suddenly started beating faster.

At that moment, Shane heard his phone ring with the text message notification. He slowly slid his fingers across the phone, and the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.

"Yes," he answered.

A few minutes later, Charlotte received a text message with only one word. She was still a little unhappy.

Couldn't he reply with more than one word?

Wasn't it a waste of money to just send a one-word text message?

Charlotte stared at the text message with Shane's name on it and muttered angrily. But in the next second-

"Retreat! Charlotte, what exactly are you doing she thought.

Her fingers unconsciously sent a heart emoji.

Charlotte's heart was almost beating out of her chest. She wanted to unsend her message, but she couldn't do that. She could only blush and hide under the blanket.

In the guest room, Shane glanced at the heart emoji he received, and his face was completely overtaken with tenderness. He slowly put down the phone and turned off the lamp beside him.

Early the next morning, Charlotte walked down the stairs with dark bags under her eyes. When she saw the man sitting indifferently in front of the computer in the living room, her drowsiness instantly was instantly reduced in half.

"When did you get back?"

"Just now." Shane slightly raised the corner of his mouth and replied lightly.

Upon hearing Shane's words, Charlotte recalled last night's text message and felt another wave of awkwardness. "Then you came back for..."

"To take Sheryl to school."

Shane said it naturally, as if this was one of his responsibilities.

"I can also..."

As Charlotte's voice trailed off, Shane immediately said, "Charlotte, did you forget that it's only a few more days to the auction?" "Does this man have mood swings? He was so gentle before, and now he's acting like this?" Charlotte wondered.

"I didn't forget."

In the past few days, she had been learning about this action. She was sure that she could win it.

"Alright."

Shane nodded, but he didn't say anything else.

After going to work, Charlotte shut herself in her office the whole time and refused to come out. Even her lunch was brought over by Zoe.

"You're really being so serious about this?"

Zoe walked over with a smile and looked at the draft in Charlotte's hand. She put her hands on her desk and stared at Charlotte.

"There are only two days left." Charlotte couldn't help but mumble. She didn't pay much attention to her tone.

In fact, after working in the Fuller Group for so long, she had begun to become familiar with Zoe, and she could even joke with her sometimes.

"Maybe Mr. Gibson can help you. After all, everyone in the design department must know about this project, so..."

Zoe maintained a smile on her face, which made Charlotte agree without hesitation.

"You're right, I was being too stupid."

Charlotte looked Zoe up and down and asked suspiciously, "Zoe, do you like Mr. Gibson?"

"Why do you ask?" Zoe pretended to be calm and looked directly at Charlotte.

"I'm just asking casually. I'm very curious about what kind of person you would like. In my opinion, in the company, only Mr. Gibson and the CEO are good enough, unless..."

Charlotte deliberately kept her guessing and paused for a few seconds.

"Unless what?"

Zoe missed Lottie's meaningful gaze. Zoe indeed liked Christopher Gibson. She herself didn't know how long she had liked him. It was as if a seed had already taken root and sprouted, and it couldn't be uprooted from her heart.

"Unless the person you like is someone from outside the company," Charlotte suddenly said with a smile.

"That's right, you guessed it all right." Zoe heaved a sigh of relief. With a smile, she looked at Charlotte in front of her and quickly said, "Ms. Emerson, you should concentrate on your own work. Don't let your imagination run wild. After you win this auction, the CEO will reward you greatly."

Charlotte looked at Zoe and couldn't help but grumble a bit.

She did not want that cold man to throw her a celebration.

As she watched Zoe, Charlotte quietly took out her phone. After saying a few simple words, she took her bag and left.

In a cafe near the company.

"Welcome."

The waiter looked at the person walking in with a smile.

"I'm looking for someone."

Charlotte smiled, pursing her lips. When she saw the man waving at her from the French window, she immediately walked over happily. "Mr. Gibson, why are you here so early? I thought..."

"Since this is near to the company, is it possible for me to arrive later than you?"

Christopher said with a smile, causing Charlotte to be a little stunned.

"What are you thinking about?"

When he saw the dazed expression on Charlotte's face, Christopher meaningfully raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"No... nothing." Charlotte awkwardly coughed a few times. She scratched her hair in embarrassment and continued, "Mr. Gibson, you and Mr. Fuller are friends, but why are your personalities so different?"

"Oh? Please tell me we are different."

Christopher became suddenly interested. There was a faint smile on his mouth.

"Mr. Fuller is a handsome but cold man, but your smile makes people feel warm. You make people's moods better." This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Charlotte used the simplest words to explain it. She didn't know why she felt so relaxed when she was with the man in front of her. Maybe it was just because of his warm smile.

"Haven't you heard that, behind a warm smile, there are many scars?"

"What do you mean?"

Charlotte frowned in confusion. She felt that Christopher didn't seem to be as happy as he looked.

"Nothing. Tell me, what did you come to see me for?"

Christopher simply folded his long legs together and casually put his hands on the coffee table. He looked like a gentleman from a well-bred family.

"I just wanted to ask you about the details of the auciton." Charlotte went straight to the point.

"Has Shane given this project over to you?" He sounded almost completely sure of himself.

"Well, I just tentatively confirmed the draft. You can have a look at it, but I always feel that it's still not perfect. Now I need the opinion of an industry professional. No one is more suitable than you."

Charlotte spoke with absolute certainty. Her eyes remained fixed on Christopher's body the entire time.

"Since you trust me so much, then I'll do my best."

When Charlotte heard Christopher's teasing voice, she felt that the man in front of her was very warm. Her opinion of him rose once again.

Since the coffee table was square, after Charlotte handed over the first draft in her hand, she leaned across the table.

She felt a coldness behind her. Without thinking too much about it, Charlotte continued to stare at Christopher as he drew on the draft.

"What do you think of this?" Before long, Christopher put down his pencil and raised his head. When he did, he saw a pair of gems-like eyes, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
