Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 153

Charlotte arrived at the pre-arranged place in advance and sorted out all the documents. She ordered coffee and food according to the TNT's chairman and Shane's preferences, told them to warm the food up and serve after they had arrived.

Ten minutes later.

Shane and Cole entered the cafe first.

Charlotte stood up and extended her hand politely with a smile on the corner of her lips. "Mr Fuller, I've heard a lot about you."

"Heard a lot about me?" Shane raised an eyebrow and held her hand, pulling her forward. "Has Mrs Jane only heard a lot about me?"

His breath was clean yet captivating.

Although his face showed no desire, his breath was particularly enchanting.

Charlotte gulped and her entire body tensed up.

"This is a public place. If someone takes photos of us, it will do no good to us at all," she whispered and kept struggling.

"Do you think I care about my reputation?"

"I care about mine." She met his dark and cold gaze.

Shane let go of her and sat down with a sullen face. Charlotte took a deep breath and asked the waiter to serve Shane's meal first.

Shane always ate slowly. He was as elegant as an artist carving a sculpture. Charlotte tried to convince herself not to, but her gaze couldn't help but fall on him.

Another ten minutes passed.

When the chairman of TNT arrived, Charlotte got up again and greeted him before asking the waiter to serve the second meal in a polite manner.

"I didn't expect Mr Jane's CEO to be so sharp. You even know what I like." After looking at the food on the table, the chairman of TNT had a good impression of Charlotte.

"It was Mr. Jane who told me to learn about your preferences in advance."

"Oh? It's the first time I've heard such a straightforward answer."

"It's better to be straightforward. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty for wasting your time."

The chairman of TNT smiled and took a sip of coffee. Then he looked at Shane and said, "Shane, if I remember correctly, Ms Emerson was your secretary before. What do you think of her?"

Charlotte had thought about this scene, and about how Shane would say something to embarrass her. She immediately became nervous as she kept touching the bracelet under the table.

This action of hers was seen by Shane's.

"Who gave it to her?" He thought.

Although the workmanship was minimalistic, the quality of the gemstone was good. It should be a gift from Rick.

His praises turned into a mild comment-

"She's alright."

"And by alright you mean..."

"Literally what I said."

The chairman of TNT rarely heard Shane complimenting someone, so he became interested and said, "Tell me more. Maybe I don't even need to look at the data to sign the contract with the Jane Corporation."

Shane looked at Charlotte and said, "This depends on Miss Charlotte's ability."

"I don't dare to say anything else. At the very least, I won't embarrass myself by presenting the wrong data." Charlotte looked at him, not admitting defeat.

"Ha, ha, ha. You two are playing dumb like a pair of primary school tablemates when they first fall in love."

"Who said we're in love!" Charlotte thought.

Charlotte calmed herself down and tried her best to divert the topic to project and contractual matters.

TNT intended to cooperate with Jane Corporation, and because Shane did not say anything bad about her, the signing of the contract was successful.

After signing and receiving the documents that belonged to him, the chairman left after telling Shane to keep in close contact with the Jane Corporation.

Why did NC have to get in touch with the Jane Corporation?

Wasn't it TNT and the Jane Corporation who had signed the contract?

Charlotte couldn't figure it out.

"You are wondering why he wants me to have closer contact with you." What Shane said was not a question, but a sure sentence.

"Yes." Charlotte did not deny it.

"TNT is the supplier, while I'm the raw material provider. This matter has nothing to do with NC." "Wait?"

"Raw material provider?"

"It had nothing to do with NC?"

Charlotte raised her head abruptly and stared at Shane in disbelief, "Could it be that you..."

Shane stood up and sat down beside her, but his eyes fell on the bracelet she had been touching, and he asked, "Who gave it to you?"

Charlotte remained silent.

What came to mind was Rick's words: "Don't fall in love with him."

"I know that you've given me 20% of the NC shares." Charlotte decided to attack first.

Instead of being passively teased by him, she would rather cooperate with him on her own accord.

"Rick has good thinking." Shane's voice was cold. No matter how hard she tried to decipher it, it sounded more like sarcasm than a compliment.
