Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 132

Upon hearing the word 'daughter¹, Charlotte's body trembled slightly, and she was so angry she nearly lost her mind.

She wanted desperately to pounce on Elaine and tear her throat out, to make her shut her mouth.

Shane looked down and glanced at the woman in his arms. He handed her to Cole and said, "Bring her to Zoe."

"Yes, sir."

"Miss Yuliana, about the cooperation between the Emerson Corporation and the NC Company, I think it's necessary for us to have a chat." Shane's face darkened.

"As you wish." Elaine smiled, her palms full of sweat.

Shane strode towards the seat in the corner, and Elaine immediately followed him.

Damn it.

If she had known that Shane would arrive so soon, she wouldn't have bothered that b*tch.

Next time, she had to be more careful.

Charlotte approached Zoe, her heart still beating violently.

Just now, in order to protect this dress sent by Shane, she even considered putting down her dignity. Was it just for the dress, or was it for the one who sent the dress...

Charlotte absentmindedly touched the hem of her skirt.

At the same time, Zoe had finished socializing. Looking at Charlotte's dark expression, she suggested, "Shall we sit down by the side?"

Charlotte nodded.

When they sat down, Zoe said with a smile after knowing about the incident, "With your relationship with Mr Fuller, isn't it normal for you to take good care of the dress he gave you?"

If they were a real couple, it would be normal. But their relationship was clearly contractual.

For some reason, Charlotte's fingers tightened. She couldn't explain the complicated, troubling feeling she felt for him.

During their conversation, the host on stage began to announce the top ten nominees for the best newcomer award. He had also invited the first and second-placed nominees on stage to receive their gifts from the company.

Charlotte was ranked third, and Zoe fourth, a slightly awkward position. Being benefactors as well, no awards were given out to them.

But who would have expected that?

The host called for the third and fourth-ranked nominees to go on stage as well.

And then he announced the reward for the third and fourth-placed winners-

The third one was to share a dance with the chairman, and the fourth with Christopher.

Charlotte and Zoe froze like two sculptures. No one had told them about this beforehand.

Until the spotlights shone directly on them.

"Do you dare to refuse the invitation of Mr Gibson and Mr Fuller?" Zoe looked at Charlotte emotionlessly.

She was expressionless, but in her heart, she was complaining endlessly about the stage planning internally.

"No, I don't."

"Me too."

They looked at each other and sighed. They had no choice but to go on stage.

Shane was wearing a long tuxedo, his figure tall, his eyes chilly. He no longer had the sternness he usually did, which made him look like a fairy who did not belong to the mortal world.

Standing next to him was Christopher in a simple but luxurious white suit, with a faint smile on his face, which made him look like an angel.

The staff screamed.

With such a chairman, not to mention working twelve hours six days a week, even if they were to work 24/7, they would still be willing to work until they died!

Charlotte was very nervous. She kept taking deep breaths while standing on the stage.

Under the spotlight, Shane leaned over and held out his hand. The moment Charlotte held his hand, she was swept into his arms and they danced along to the music.

It was so embarrassing to dance while staring at each other.

Charlotte tilted her head slightly. "What did you say to Elaine just now? I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"

"No, you didn't."

"That's great."

"I just suspended the cooperation with the Emerson Corporation."

Charlotte turned her head suddenly and looked at him in shock, almost forgetting to move.

If Shane hadn't stopped just then and switched positions flawlessly, she would have embarrassed herself in front of hundreds of people.

However, Charlotte wasn't able to care about protecting her image anymore at such a time.

"You stopped the cooperation with the Emerson Cooperation because of me..."

"It's not because of you. We haven't been getting along well with each other. Recently, many companies have also ended their cooperations with the Emerson Corporation because of Elaine's promotion."

"So that was the reason." Charlotte let out a sigh of relief.

It's fine as long as it was not because of her.

In Shane's eyes, however, her expression seemed dejected.

The corners of his lips quirked up. "Are you disappointed because it wasn't due to you?"

"I'm not that childish. Don't worry, I'm an understanding wife." She emphasized the word "wife" deliberately.

Interesting.

Shane was pleased by her words and did not speak again, and instead focused on enjoying the moment.
