Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 104

Charlotte looked at Sheryl, who was playing with Anne happily, and shook her head helplessly.

"Anne, how are you and Braden doing?"

"Why do you mention him?"

Anne paused. Then she pretended to be angry and snorted at Charlotte. Still, anyone could seethe happiness on Anne's face.

Charlotte really felt happy for Anne for being able to find the right person.

"Mommy, don't worry. I will love you instead."

Sheryl was used to observing Charlotte's expression since she was a child. She suddenly raised her delicate little face and gave Lottie a heart-shaped gesture.

In an instant, Charlotte's heart was softened. She gazed at her daughter and her friend adoringly.

The next morning, after Charlotte sent Sheryl to the kindergarten, she received a call from Shane and went straight to Fuller Group.

Standing outside the Fuller Group's building, Charlotte was in awe.

The majestic skyscraper and the prestige of Fuller Group were what attracted countless university graduates to try their luck at this multinational corporation.

It turned out that even someone at Charlotte's age would feel the same thing that most fresh graduates had felt when she stood before this building.

"Ms. Emerson, please come with me."

A gentle voice successfully attracted Charlotte's attention.

"Ms. Watson, why are you here?"

Just as she finished speaking, Charlotte suddenly felt stupid. Shane had probably asked this secretary to greet her in the lobby in person.

"You can just call me Zoe."

Unlike the solemn facade Zoe had put up when Charlotte first met her, the former currently had a soft smile on her face. Zoe dressed in a professional business suit, and Charlotte immediately grew fond of her.

Charlotte thought, 'If Zoe could be Shane's secretary, she must be very incompetent, unlike me...'

"Ms. Watson."

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, but she still did not call the secretary by her first name.

Zoe smiled and did not continue to correct her. She simply turned around and said gently, "Ms. Emerson, let me take you to the president."

"All right."

Charlotte nodded and followed Zoe all the way to the president's office on the top floor.

"Mr. Fuller, Ms. Emerson has arrived."

"Got it."

Charlotte stood behind Zoe and heard Shane's joyful voice. She thought that she had misheard things. Did something happen to her ears?

An ice prince like Shane was... happy?

"Ms. Emerson, please go in."

"Don't you want to come in as well?"

Charlotte looked at Zoe in confusion. She didn't want to stay in a confined space alone with Shane.

"The president doesn't let me in."

There was no trace of anger in Zoe's voice at all. After Charlotte walked in, Zoe closed the door respectfully.

Charlotte looked blankly at the man sitting in the office chair. He was carefully flipping through the documents. Charlotte didn't notice that she kept staring.

"Mrs. Fuller, are you ogling at your husband?"

Shane's lips curled up in a playful manner. His long fingers tapped on the table rhythmically and messed up Charlotte's train of thoughts.

"Mrs. Fuller?"

Charlotte bit her thin lip tightly, and her pink lips turned red.

Shane could feel his cold heart melting away bit by bit. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down unconsciously.

"Am I right about that?"

He smiled slightly, placed his hands on the armrests of his chair, and crossed his long legs. His movements were graceful and regal. He stared at Charlotte like a hawk.

"Mr. Fuller, I've suddenly become your secretary. What if someone asks why?" Charlotte tried her best to change the topic. She really didn't want to look at that man's hawk- like eyes. It felt as if he could see through her.

"I've already handed over your information to the HR department. Honestly, making you a secretary is an overkill."

As Shane spoke, his thin lips parted and shut.

His sculptured features softened instantly. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Charlotte immediately looked at him. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Shane's phone buzz on the desk.

The tenderness on Shane's face still lingered. He pressed the answer button. After listening to the person on the other end of the line, he said, "I'll head over right away."

Charlotte pointed to herself and said to Shane, who had casually picked up his suit jacket, "I..."

"I will ask Zoe to show you around and tell you what to do."

After speaking with an expressionless face, Shane hurriedly left the office, leaving Charlotte standing in front of the office table in a state of utter chaos.

"Ms. Emerson, please come with me."

A moment later, Zoe walked into the office. Charlotte suddenly felt immensely relieved and followed her right away.

"Ms. Watson, how long have you been working here?"

"Since I graduated from the university."

Zoe said meaningfully, and a hint of inscrutable sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Then Sh... Mr. Fuller has been your mentor?"

Charlotte's face was full of curiosity.

"Sort of."

Zoe smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she stopped and pointed to a small compartment not far away, still maintaining the gentle smile on her face. "Mrs. Fuller, this is your desk from now on. Later on, I'll show you around so that you can familiarize yourself with the work environment."

"Do you know the relationship between me and Shane?"

Charlotte asked in confusion.

"Well, there are some things related to Mr. Fuller's private life that we have to deal with, so we know a little about his personal relationships. But you can rest assured that we can keep secrets."

The smile on Zoe's face remained throughout the conversation. When she looked at Charlotte, who was frowning, Zoe continued, "If you encounter any issue, you can come to me."

"Th... Thank you."

Charlotte took in a deep breath and looked at Zoe as the latter walked away. She did not bother the secretary with more questions.

She didn't want to trouble the woman. After all, as the secretary of the president of Fuller Group, Zoe must have been busy. Even with her outstanding ability and patience, she would be overwhelmed by work.

At this time, at the entrance of Sea Park, a pompous red Maserati attracted the attention of passers- by. The driver, Braden, held his mobile phone in his hand. He was on a call.

Anne didn't know that Braden was outside her apartment, and she had no idea whom she was going to face next.

When she heard the doorbell ringing, she opened the door without thinking.

She had initially thought that Charlotte had returned, but she saw two strange women at the door instead.

"Uh, who are you?"

"I'm Shane's mother."

Raina revealed her identity right away as she looked Anne up and down.

Anne was uncomfortable under Raina's scrutinizing gaze. But out of respect for elderly people, she invited Raina and her companion into the house.

"May I know the purpose of your visit?"

Anne asked curiously as she whined internally, "Oh my god, lady, I'm not the one who has married your son!"

"Charlotte Emerson is your friend, right?"

"Yes."

Anne answered readily.

"Miss Jane, if you really care about your friend, please ask her to stay away from my son. The Fuller family will not allow him to marry a single mother."

Raina stated her intention in a domineering manner, meeting Anne's undaunted gaze.

"Lady, my friend has a name. Her name is Charlotte Emerson. Also, she isn't the one who's unwilling to stay away from your son. It's the other way round."

Anne could sense that Raina's gaze was gradually turning cold, yet she continued, "After meeting Charlotte, your proud son decided to get a marriage certificate with her."

"You're really sharp- tongued, just like Charlotte Emerson!" Raina said.
