Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 210

Elaine's face twisted with anger when she heard these words. She wasn't as good as Charlotte?

She's not as good as that b*tch?

Now that she had everything, she's still not as good as her?

"Christopher, I admit that I used to like you but that doesn't mean that you can trample on my dignity!" Elaine picked up the file, opened the door and left.

Zoe, who had been silent the whole time, walked over to close the door. Then, she made another cup of tea for Christopher.

"Come here," Christopher ordered Zoe with his eyes closed.

Zoe was stunned. She walked to his side and stood straight. "Yes, Mr. Gibson."

"Find out who received Rick's shares then go see if Shane is still here."

"Mr. Gibson, Mr. Jane transferred his shares to Mr. Fuller. He had left 15 minutes ago."

"Huh?" Christopher opened his eyes.

Zoe pursed her lips and said coldly, "I've checked in advance. Five minutes ago, I received information from our spy in the Jane Corporation.

Ms. Emerson had invited Mr. Fuller to attend a press conference. Mr. Fuller should be there soon."

Christopher nodded with satisfaction. He took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a card and handed it to Zoe. "As I said before, I will not mistreat you."

"Thank you, Mr. Gibson." Zoe took it without hesitation.

"This whole situation has nothing to do with us. Tidy up and get ready to have lunch with me."

"Lunch? With you?"

"Is there something wrong?" Christopher asked with a smile.

Zoe shook her head. "No..."

She just didn't expect that Christopher would invite her to lunch.

Christopher got up and walked to the table. He picked up the table mirror and adjusted his tie as he spoke, "Don't be stressed out. It's my mom, she wants to meet you."

"I see." Zoe breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did you think it was?"

"No, I just felt it might not be appropriate for us to have dinner alone." I

There was a glimmer in Christopher's eyes and he shook his head with a smile.

She was the first woman to say that she liked him but made no attempt to pursue him at all.

If her interest in him was more passionate, he could use her relentlessly without a care.

However, she always kept a distance from him. He trusted her to do a good job but at the same time, he's a little cautious of her.

Zoe Watson...

Christopher turned around and looked at Zoe. She had the same posture and facial expression from before.

"It's not easy for you to stay by my side."

Zoe shook her head.

"Perhaps, we can take our relationship one step further," Christopher suggested as he slowly walked towards her.

Zoe took a step back subconsciously with a confused look in her eyes.

Christopher smiled and stretched out one hand. He bent down slightly like a gentleman and said, "It seems you are very defensive against me."

"Did you use the same deceitful face to fool Shane into being your friend and Elaine into being so obsessed with you?" Zoe was extremely calm. She slapped away his hand with a cold gaze.

"Deceitful? Zoe, look into my eyes, you'll see I'm genuine."

"I have seen how you treat people genuinely, Mr. Gibson. I know you're being deceitful now." Zoe lowered her head. "I'm going back to my office to change my clothes so I can meet your mother later."

Zoe left.

Christopher froze on the spot.

Zoe always talked about numbers and solved tricky problems based on her experience.

She was calm and rational. She had a vision for the future and was loyal at the same time.

Christopher initially thought she longed for romance like any other woman. Based on his understanding of women, he wouldn't have misread Zoe.

Maybe he hadn't seen through her.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, the fish was already in the pond, there's no need to rush.

Christopher put down the mirror and put on his coat with a bright smile.

Deceitful.

It was the first time someone had said that about him.

There were many reporters and cameras on the scene of the press conference.

This was the first time Charlotte was present at such a big conference. She was more or less nervous. Her hands were trembling and she was constantly fiddling with the bracelet Rick gave her to calm herself down.

"Nervous?" Shane knew instantly she was under a lot of pressure when he noticed her blinking.

"I'm sorry." She took a deep breath. "I may drag you down."

Shane lowered his hand and grabbed her wrist.

His coat was over his shoulders so the sleeves covered his actions.

Charlotte was startled. She subconsciously tried to break free from him.

"Don't move." Shane tightened his grip on her hands. His palms were rough and his fingertips were as cold as ice.

"Let me go. There are people here. What's going on?"

Any physical touch with him made Charlotte feel guilty towards Rick.

Shane ignored her protests and traced something on her palm.

Charlotte was stunned. "Did you write

something?"

Shane repeated it again.

The word seemed to be quite complicated.

Charlotte tried her best to understand what he was tracing.

One time, two times, three times...

She finally figured out what he was writing!

It's...

Wait!

"What are we waiting for?" She whispered to Shane.

"No matter what happens, keep calm and wait for me to deal with it." Shane finished and let go of her hand. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Shane, I don't have any right to rely on you, I..."

Shane ignored her and strode off towards the stage.

Charlotte had no choice but to follow him helplessly.

It was strange but she was no longer shaking. Although she was still nervous, she felt nothing scary could happen as long as Shane was by her side.

There was a god standing beside her.

She was crazy enough to say the creator was standing beside her. There was nothing in the world that could hurt her.

As Charlotte thought about this, she was suddenly filled with power.

At this point, Shane had made a brief selfintroduction. He handed over the microphone to her, his eyebrows furrowed with worry.

"Hello everyone, I'm the vice president of the Jane Corporation, Charlotte Emerson. We are very sorry and regretful for the recent events in the company. So we arranged this press conference with Mr. Fuller to explain the details and clear up any rumours. At the same time, we will announce the release of our new product. Thank you for your support. Please enjoy this short film our company produced with the NC Company."

If Shane had to describe Charlotte in words, it would be confident and poised.

Most vice presidents are smart and sophisticated. They wouldn't offend the media or the customers. Whenever something goes wrong, the people on the bottom would be held accountable. Hence, only two types of people could stand firm. The first was the glib-tongued, the second was the ones with real capability.

Clearly, Charlotte had proved she was the latter through her actions.

"You did a good job," Shane assured her.

"Thank you, I'm not as nervous as before."

"Looks like I still have some effect."

"I was just thinking, what if I embarrassed the god next to me by acting nervous?" She pretended to be relaxed and said.

God.

Shane stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side. He tilted his head and asked, "What kind of person is a god in your heart?"

"You," Charlotte replied without thinking. "No feelings or emotions. We're neither friends nor foes. A real god may care about people's lives but you care more about finance and stocks."

No feelings or emotions?

She didn't have any feelings or emotions for him?

Shane felt that this was probably the funniest joke he had heard all year.

She probably didn't know that to him, she was an aphrodisiac.

"What I care about is more than the stock price."

"Shane, I couldn't care less about what you care about. All I know is this is the most secure I've been in these 5 years. So please... can you not destroy it?"

Charlotte looked at him pleadingly. "You're a god. You have everything but I only have Sheryl and Rick. If I lose them, I will have nothing."

Only Sheryl and Rick.

'Charlotte, have you forgotten that I've always been by your side?' Shane thought.
