Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 131

"You said that Sheryl was at her grandmother's. How is she still..."

"Yes, she came over for lunch," Shane replied without a switch of expression.

"You could have told me."

"So that you could come over for lunch?"

Charlotte imagined that scene and thought of the consequences she would be facing if they were seen by others. She would probably be the target of gossip in the company.

She replied timidly, "It's better not to."

Shane seemed to laugh slightly. "I'm hanging up. Work hard."

"Wait a minute."

"Yes?"

"Will any other companies attend the celebratory dinner?" Charlotte asked.

Usually, for these large-scale, invitation-based banquets, people from other companies would be invited.

"The Emerson Corporation will be sending someone over," Shane said purposefully.

"Thank you." Her voice was very soft.

"Do you need any help?"

"This dress is already the best form of help you can provide. I'm not going to bring embarrassment upon NC... and you." Charlotte's voice softened towards the end as she hurriedly ended the call.

"How strange," she thought. Being Shane's current secretary, it was normal to say things like this. Why was her heart beating so fast, then?

In the chairman's office on the top floor of NC Company's tower.

Looking at his phone, Shane narrowed his eyes. He leaned back a little and his lips quirked up even more.

Sheryl, who was about to leave with Christopher, ran back to him when she saw him smile. She poked his face with a finger and said, "Daddy, you look so handsome when you smile!"

"Do I not look good otherwise?" Shane teased her on purpose.

"You're good- looking either way. When you don't smile, you look like a handsome prince. When you smile, you look like an angel!" The little fellow said childishly.

"That's my little cupcake."

Sheryl pointed to her cheek, and Shane bent down to kiss her face.

This time, the little fellow left in satisfaction with Christopher.

This little girl and her mom...

"They're pretty alright," he thought.

The whole company started getting busy in preparation for the celebratory feast.

A huge amount of manpower and material resources have been invested in the purchasing, venue selection and decoration of the banquet.

It even seemed to be grander than the annual party.

Many media outlets released news that the reason NC was holding this banquet on such a huge scale was due to the success of the B round financing.

Based on capital operation, NC Company could have started the funding long ago, but Shane had delayed the plan further and further, even missed the ideal timing for the capital to enter the country.

At the time, Shane's reason was very simple. He didn't want to dilute the shares he was holding on to.

Looking at the computer screen, Charlotte felt a tinge of nervousness for no reason.

She didn't have much knowledge about these. She only knew that once the B round of financing was carried out, the shares Shane owned would decrease.

Once he lost control of NC, the company would have a new owner.

"What are you looking at, being so serious?" Zoe scooted closer to her.

The black and thick font read — Is NC Undergoing an Expansion Once Again, or is it Gradually Dying Out? Decrypting the Mystery behind NC's Upcoming Carnival.

Zoe burst out laughing. "Don't look at such things. They're useless."

"Useless?" Charlotte's expression was blank.

"If the capital operation can be understood easily by mere journalists, what do we need elites for? Mr Gibson is an expert in this field. You can consult him when you're free."

"You're the best, Zoe!"

"Stop trying to cotton up to me. I'm going to work."

Charlotte chuckled and clicked on Christopher's profile image, wanting to ask him about matters regarding shares.

She had to know at least a little about these. The Emerson Corporation... was still waiting for her.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

NC's celebratory feast finally arrived.

The company invited many attractive dance actors to perform for the feast.

People from different companies gathered in a buffet style and chatted with each other in groups.

After spending a long time in the lounge, Charlotte finally finished changing and nervously entered the venue through the corridor.

"Is- isn't that Miss Emerson?"

"That dress of hers was made by Dark Deer, right?"

"Even the chairman's secretary is so rich. If I had known this earlier, I would have switched jobs."
