Aunt Ophelia shook her head sadly and looked at Raina, who was on the lounge chair. She didn't understand why the woman who had been so in pain that she had been convulsing had moved quickly to the lounge chair at the sound of a car engine. Raina had even put her sunglasses on while she had been at it.
"Shane, did you move Charlotte in to your place?"
Raina said with absolute certainty, but there was a little dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"You have a problem with that?"
Shane glanced coldly at the woman who seemed like a stranger in front of him. There was no emotion in his voice.
"Mr. Fuller, you can't speak to Madam Fuller like that. All these years, she has always been doing this for..."
"Stop it."
Raina was almost roaring angrily and immediately stopped Aunt Ophelia from speaking further.
"For the sake of her own reputation and the Fuller family's reputation, I've heard enough. Can you talk about something else?"
Shane looked at the person in front of him coldly. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth raised, and he approached her step by step.
"I advise you not to do anything to Charlotte and her daughter. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do. Compared to someone who abandoned her children for the sake of her own feelings, I believe Charlotte is an even better mother."
"Mr. Fuller..."
Aunt Ophelia exclaimed in sorrow. She was even more worried as she looked at the woman sitting on the lounge chair. Although she had used sunglasses to hide them, tears could still be seen flowing down her face.
When Shane was about to leave, Raina just said in a weak voice, "Your grandmother is coming back from Hartsville. She'll arrive at the airport at 3 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. You're picking her up."
Shane's footsteps paused. After Raina stopped speaking, he left without looking back.
"Madam Fuller, it seems that Mr. Fuller is serious about Miss Charlotte." "I will never allow such a woman to come into the Fuller family. She will only bring a bad reputation to the Fuller family and ruin my son's future. I will never allow that."
Raina took off the sunglasses on her face. She looked completely different from when she had been holding back earlier. A hint of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
Aunt Ophelia shook her head helplessly.
When she was about to get off work, Charlotte was sorting out the documents sent by different department managers with Zoe. She looked at the immaculate woman sitting opposite her and helplessly rubbed her long-empty stomach.
When she finally finished sorting out the last document, Charlotte stretched out without hesitation and let out a long sigh of relief. When she finally realized that this was the wrong thing to do in such a place, two patches of red immediately flared on her face.
"It doesn't matter, there is no one else here."
Zoe explained in a light tone, feeling a little amused.
The phone on a side table vibrated suddenly. Charlotte immediately glanced at it and looked around alertly. Suddenly, she asked meaningfully, "Zoe, is there a camera here?" "Yes, every part of the company has one." Zoe deliberately raised her voice and instantly saw the horrified look of the person in front of her.
"Does that mean that people saw my bedraggled look for the past few days?" Charlotte wondered.
With a hint of hope in her eyes, Charlotte asked in a weak voice, "Mr. Fuller wouldn't be bored to look at the footage here, right? If he watches all the surveillance, he'd be exhausted to death."
Slightly embarrassed, she scratched her head and walked out while comforting herself.
"Mr. Fuller, you were looking for me?"
In the end, Charlotte gritted her teeth and walked into the office. She did not want to return home to see an unhappy face.
"That's right."
Shane's expressionless agreement was also able to make Charlotte's heart jump. She racked her brains but couldn't figure out why he had asked her to come.
"Let's eat."
A few minutes later, Shane suddenly spoke. "What do you mean?"
"I got Ms. Jenny to bring over some food. Let's eat it together."
Shane stopped what he was doing and placed the lunchbox on the small conference table. He opened it slowly on purpose when he saw the excitement in Charlotte's eyes.
