Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 244

Peter was stunned. She bit her lip with some unhappiness and said, "Did my confession affect you?"

"Don't think that way. I want to resign because of personal reasons, and I may not really resign. Maybe I'm just testing the waters," Zoe said.

Zoe was a smart person.

However, as a secretary, there was no room for her to climb up the ladder.

Peter could tell from her words that she was free and easy, which was rare in the world. He couldn't help tilting his head to look at her. "Miss Watson, you are Ms. Emerson's friend, and you have Mr. Fuller supporting you. Although you deny it, Mr. Gibson seems to be interested in you. In this case, why should you resign?"

"I told you. It's just a test."

"No, I mean, why would you leave NO Company?"

"How do you know that I want to leave NC Company?" Zoe frowned and was very vigilant.

Everyone in the company knew that she was Charlotte's friend. They didn't know that she had come from NC Company, and they didn't know that she had worked in other companies.

How did Peter know about this? Did he investigate it?

No, that wasn't right. If Shane and Charlotte were able to get her into the company, that meant that they had cleaned up her resume. Other than others in the industry, there shouldn't be anyone else who knew that she had been working in NC Company.

So this Peter...

"Because I'm one of Mr. Fuller's people," Peter answered calmly. "I didn't intend to hide it from you. After all, I said that I liked you. I couldn't be dishonest with you."

"So that's what it is. No wonder you made such a detailed report back then."

"It's precisely that report. I wrote it in too much detail, which caused Ms. Emerson to be suspicious. She might have gone to look for Mr. Fuller to verify it, but Mr. Fuller had asked me to reveal my identity to Ms. Emerson. He said that Ms. Emerson had put me in an important position and that, in the future, Ms. Emerson would use me to pass him information."

Zoe laughed and shook her head. "Yes, being too serious is not a good thing. After all, you are a newcomer in the company. It's too surprising to come up with such a good proposal."

Peter bared his teeth and said, "Shouldn't you praise me for having such achievements at the age of 23?"

23 years old.

It was an age where it was still too early for men to start a family.

This kind of achievement was indeed worthy of pride and praise.

Zoe reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Kid, need to do a good job, do you understand?"

"Kid... I like that you call me like this. In the future, can you only call me this?"

Peter's eyes were bright.

Although he was wearing a pair of glasses, his eyes flashed different colors.

Zoe sighed. "We won't be together."

"I like to watch TV shows and desserts. I need three sugars in my coffee and I go to the gym three times a week. I'll listen to some soft music when I run. I..."

Peter slowly but efficiently told Zoe about himself.

Zoe was not daydreaming. She listened to what he said.

Although they might not be able to get together, it was good to chat as colleagues.

Peter Brown.

She was murmuring his name in her heart.

No matter how she thought about it, they were different kinds of people, and she was older than him.

In X Country.

When Charlotte woke up in a daze, she found that she was already in the house.

Shane sat on the sofa not far away with his laptop on his knees, his fingers tapping on the keyboard as if he were playing the piano. She could not help but be stunned.

His hands were really good-looking. It would be great if he could play the piano again.

She shook her head.

She had already messed up with Shane by talking about playing the piano. She wouldn't foolishly make a mistake there again.

Shane noticed her gaze and looked up. "Come here if you're awake."

Charlotte replied with an "okay" and walked up to him.

"Sit down."

She sat down obediently. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Shane motioned for her to look at the computer.

There were many small boats and airplanes on the screen, and they were connected by lines of either red, white, or blue.

"What is this?" Charlotte asked.

"Shipping routes."

"What about these colors?"

"We own the red ones, the blue ones represent routes available to us, and the white ones are public routes. This is a software made by Peter and his team." Shane pressed a key.

Names appeared on every route.

Charlotte skimmed over it. The domestic routes were complicated, but half of them belonged to them.

Some were occupied by a company called Skyvex, while some were owned by Shane and Charlotte. As for the rest, they were mixed. At least hundreds of companies were involved in logistics.

On the other hand, Skyvex was affiliated with the government, so it could be considered to be in a different category.

"Our influence is already very significant. In this kind of situation, we should be targeted by others..."

"No, we won't."

"Is it because there are more blank spaces?"

Shane nodded.

Charlotte was deep in thought, "Then, is the reason you're showing me this because you want me to continue expanding these routes? And, at the same time, we have to take precautions against future competitors?"

"You're smart."

"Well... I also saw Emerson Corporation. They don't have a lot of routes, so if we want to deal with Elaine, we can start with logistics first."

"That's right."

"What's more, although they are all transportation routes, I found that a few of them are particularly long. There is a transfer station in the middle, but the route after the transfer station belongs to another company. There must be some friction there."

"Go on."

"So I think you're showing me this, in addition to letting me know the situation, is to ask me about the frozen supply chain, am I right?"

Charlotte was a little nervous as she waited for Shane's reply.

She clutched the hem of her shirt tightly. Her anticipation was reflected in her eyes, and all the muscles in her body tensed up.

Or, there was something else he wanted to say to her, which was far more than that. After all, ordinary people couldn't keep up with his mind.

Shane turned off the computer and clutched her wrist tightly. "Let me take you out."

"What's for?"

"A reward."

A reward?

Charlotte blinked her eyes and instantly broke into a happy smile. "Does that mean that I guessed right?"

Shane nodded.

"I can actually guess what you're thinking. It seems like I've improved."

"There's one more thing. You should have noticed that all the routes of Emerson Corporation are in a different direction from us."

"Yes, I noticed," she replied.

"Take back the Emerson Corporation and help me."

Charlotte had always felt that she had come back for revenge, and then she would find Sheryl's father for her surgery.

Now, she had found her father, and getting revenge had always been smooth sailing. She could not keep thinking about taking revenge all the time, otherwise, there would be some problems with her mentality.

So she could actually set another goal, such as helping Shane.

Although it sounded like a dream come true, how could she possibly help him?

Charlotte took a deep breath, "I can only guarantee that I will do my best."

"Alright."

The two of them didn't talk about work while they ate.

Charlotte simply found some topics to talk about with Shane. From some of the brands she was interested in the inside stories in the entertainment industry, she found that Shane rarely knew anything.

The things that she thought she knew, in front of Shane, it was nothing.

He was talkative and had a wide range of knowledge.

This was the first time that Charlotte found out that it wasn't painful being Shane's friend. Although he always had a cold expression, as long as she thought of enough topics, he actually had endless things to say.

After the meal.

Charlotte and Shane walked down the street.

The sky was gloomy, but the rain did not fall. The grass on both sides of the road was green and fresh, emitting a unique fragrance that made them relaxed and happy.

They were so close to each other that their hands kept touching.

Charlotte felt a little awkward and absentmindedly moved her hand a little further away from his.

Shane glanced at her from the corner of his eye and directly held her hand.

Her body stiffened and her heart beat faster. She could not help turning her head to look at Shane next to her.
