Chapter 102
The retail worker looked at Anne in a panic and realized that she wasn't joking.
"This store is under Jane's Corporation. My name is Anne Jane, which means I have the right to fire a staff member of a subsidiary company, right?"
Looking at Anne's smiling face, the retail worker felt a chill down her spine.
It took her a lot of effort to become a retail worker at a store managed by Jane's Corporation. She had long heard that the Jane family had a son and a daughter who studied abroad.
"I won't make the same mistake again."
The retail worker lowered her head weakly.
"All customers are God. I just want to give you a piece of advice. Do not serve only those who seem wealthy and powerful. Everyone is equal."
After that, Anne dragged Charlotte out of the clothing store, leaving Elaine, who seemed awfully embarrassed.
As the two young women wandered through the mall, Anne forced Charlotte to buy a retro-style dress that she had tried on in a boutique shop.
The chiffon long dress wrapped around Charlotte's long and fair legs. The dark green rope that tied around her waist perfectly outlined her good figure.
Walking out of the mall, Anne could clearly sense that people on the street kept looking at Charlotte. A smile slowly emerged on Anne's lips.
So, this was the real Charlotte!
Across the road, a Maybach limousine was parked under a tree. Cole was in the driver's seat, and his entire body shuddered because he clearly sensed an oppressive aura behind him.
"Mr. Fuller, are we leaving?"
Cole asked in a trembling voice.
They had stayed here for 20 minutes, and Shane had a very important meeting five minutes later.
As soon as he spoke, Cole suddenly heard the car door open and shut. He saw Shane's tall figure slipped out of the car, so he had no choice but to follow.
"Mrs... Mrs. Fuller."
Cole was a little shocked as he looked at Charlotte, who seemed completely different from her usual self.
Normally, she already looked quite sweet without dressing up or putting on any makeup. But now, with a brand new outfit and hairstyle, she was simply stunning.
"Shane."
When she saw the man in front of her, who suddenly blocked her line of sight, Charlotte called out to him in a reluctant manner. Then, she lowered her head timidly.
"Come with me."
His voice carried an air of authority that could not be defied.
Charlotte glanced at Anne, and then looked at Shane. She was about to say no, but Shane already grabbed her hand and dragged her away. Due to the disparity in their strengths, there was no way she could shake him off.
Anne looked at Shane with a smile, but she didn't intend to stop him. On the contrary, she was happy that he had come to see Charlotte.
Inside the car, Charlotte looked at the man beside her, who was obviously angry for some reason. She couldn't help but gulp nervously.
'I..."
'Get out."
Shane suddenly spoke in a cold voice.
"Oh, okay."
When Shane saw that Charlotte was about to open the car door, he nearly fainted. He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said word by word, "I'm not talking to you."
Cole, who was in the driver's seat, obediently opened the car door and got out. However, he didn't walk too far. Instead, he waited just outside the vehicle under the tree in a somewhat dejected manner.
The car was suddenly filled with silence, and the atmosphere became tenser than before.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Shane stared at Charlotte from the corner of his eye.
"No."
After thinking for a moment, Charlotte finally shook her head.
All of a sudden, Shane lifted her chin. Charlotte could only look straight into his hawk-like eyes.
"You left the Emerson Corporation."
Shane said in a certain tone. After he saw a flash of coldness in Charlotte's dark eyes, he immediately said, "I can help you get it back."
"There's no need forthat.'
Charlotte gave a bitter smile. In the end, she shook her head.
How could she not want to get Emerson Corporation back? It was her mother's life's work. But Charlotte just wanted to get it back by herself, instead of relying on the man before her.
Shane didn't ask why. Looking at Charlotte's serene but determined eyes, he knew that the woman in front of him wasn't a meek person.
"Do you want to work at Fuller Group?"
Shane suddenly made a kind offer. He was not in a hurry to get an answer from Charlotte now.
"Why not NC?"
Charlotte didn't answer the question. Instead, she stared at Shane's handsome face and asked another question.
"It doesn't suit you."
"May I ask, Mr. Fuller, what suits me more?"
All of a sudden, Charlotte gave a sly smile. Shane, who was sitting opposite her, was startled by her abrupt smile.
Shane suddenly leaned in, and Charlotte gasped. "Ahhh!"
Shane looked at her red lips, which parted and shut, and kissed them subconsciously When he saw Charlotte's face turn red, he slowly backed away.
The temperature in the car suddenly rose. Charlotte kept stroking her hot cheeks with her hands. She could not believe that she had given her first kiss to this man.
"You were a little tense and stiff. You should improve your kissing skill."
Shane's mood suddenly improved, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.
'What the f*ck—' Charlotte screamed internally.
'Son of a b*tch!'
'What a freak!'
Charlotte couldn't help but curse in her heart. She didn't even bother to look at Shane.
"Be my secretary."
"What?"
Charlotte looked over in confusion. When she realized what the question was, something dawned on her.
"You already have so many secretaries, why do you still need me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte sensed that her tone was a little inappropriate. But it was already too late for her to take it back.
"Fuller Group will continue to expand. Do you think we can't afford another secretary?"
Instead of getting angry, Shane was amused.
"Oh, I see."
The corner of Charlotte's mouth twitched as she glanced out of the window.
In the end, she agreed to go to work at Fuller Group.
She sat in the car in a daze. After a while, she realized that the car engine was started again and retracted her gaze. Charlotte furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
"I have a meeting, so I'll send you home first."
Shane looked at his phone expressionlessly and said.
At this moment, Cole, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was completely flustered. If he remembered correctly, the meeting had started half an hour ago...
Arriving at her destination, Charlotte got out of the car. As the vehicle drove off, she stared at the license plate. Suddenly, someone reached out a hand and blocked her line of sight.
"He has gone far. Why are you still staring?"
Anne couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Shane's car was tense and chilly. Shane said to Cole without any expression, "Take a look at the current projects we are working on with Emerson Corporation." This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yes, sir."
Cole suddenly felt sorry for Emerson Corporation.
They shouldn't have provoked the wrong person...
All of a sudden, someone's phone started buzzing in the quiet vehicle. Cole glanced at his phone reflexively and was relieved that it wasn't his own.
"Hello?"
Shane glanced at his cell phone and pressed the answer button.
No one knew this private number, except for...
"Daddy—"
A soft voice came from the speaker, which made Shane's heart instantly soften. However, what she said next sentence made his face turn grim.
"I'll be right there."
Cole tried to eavesdrop, but he could only hear bits of the conversation.
"Go to the kindergarten right now."
Shane ordered coldly as he slowly massaged his temple.
"But sir, that meeting..."
Cole bit the bullet and reminded his boss.
The purpose of the meeting was to sign a contract for two projects. The deal was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It might not be a big deal to Shane, but it was still important.
"Cancel it."
Hearing the chilly voice behind him, Cole's heart skipped a bit. He could only turn the steering wheel and drive in a different direction.
At this time, in the kindergarten, Sheryl was quietly standing in the office with her back against the wall. Next to her stood a fearless spoiled brat.
