Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 161

Rick opened his mouth-

"They don't understand you or me. Why should we care about them?"

"That's because this will affect the stock price and cause the company to lose profits. They will think that you're a fool and won't believe in your products," Charlotte explained.

"I can abandon the company."

Instinctively, Charlotte touched the metal bracelet on her wrist.

Rick leaned forward slightly and looked at her with a very serious expression. "I can give up everything I have for you. It doesn't matter if everyone laughs at me as long as you are willing to be with me. They don't understand the kind of courage it would take."

"Rick..."

"Don't feel pressured. As I said before, I will tell you what I think, but what you choose is your business."

"I'm sorry." She lowered her head and tears welled up in her eyes. "I thought that as long as I did what I should and did my best to consider your standpoint, it would be enough to repay you, but..."

In the face of his desperate love.

Everything she did was in vain.

As long as she didn't love him, she would always owe him.

Unfortunately, she still did not love him.

"You don't need to repay me. You know very well that I have my pride. If you force yourself to stay by my side as my woman, it would only make me sadder. We can keep going like this and let fate decide." Rick said as he stood up.

Charlotte suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Rick stopped and tilted his head to one side to look at her.

She bit her lip with a blank look in her eyes. It seemed that she didn't know whether she had made the right decision or not.

He took her hand off his sleeve with a light smile, leaned over, and rubbed her hair. "I'm confident, so you don't have to force yourself."

"I'll go back with you. I still have work to do."

"You haven't eaten anything yet."

"I'm not hungry."

"I'll stay with you first while you eat."

Charlotte nodded her head subconsciously.

Perhaps, she didn't want to go back to the company with him to deal with her, but she simply didn't want him to leave.

Charlotte didn't know what she was thinking either. She only knew that, at this moment, she wanted to cling to Rick. She didn't want to be unable to see him.

Something big happened with Brightshine.

The chairman was found to be involved in a scandal with the celebrity Tiffany Allen.

Brightshine had been in the midst of collaborating with NC Company. Once the scandal came to light, NC Company stopped working with Brightshine. They had quickly replaced Tiffany with a male celebrity as their spokesperson.

The series of actions were smooth like water. The speed of NC's public relations department was faster than any other company. Before the news could make its rounds, they had already responded.

Charlotte and Rick returned to the office together, just in time to hear people talking about NC Company and Brightshine.

"What happened with NC Company?" Charlotte was confused.

"It's like this," Rick's secretary explained, "NC Company's CEO, Shane Fuller, had been rumored to be going out with Tiffany Allen before. Today, someone exposed the news that Tiffany had actually been in a relationship with one of Brightshine's directors. There are some indecent photos and videos too. As a result, NC Company stopped endorsing Tiffany."

"What?" Charlotte suspected that she had heard wrongly.

Tiffany had always said that she liked Shane since she was ten. How was it that she was with a director from Brightshine?

No, it couldn't be called a relationship.

That Brightshine director was not young anymore. Even if he wasn't old enough to be her father, he was definitely from an older generation. Although he did not look old, he was married with children.

He had a nine-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter. He had always had a good relationship with his wife too.

This sudden scandal would be a big blow to NC Company and Brightshine.

"However, NC Company has already decided to have Tiffany take on the next TV drama. To put it bluntly, they want her to stay away from trouble for the time being," the secretary explained.

"That's typical." Charlotte smiled. "Tiffany means a lot to Shane."

"What is their relationship?" Rick asked.

"I'm not sure what kind of feelings Shane has for Tiffany, but Tiffany said that she liked Shane since she was ten years old," Charlotte explained. Since Shane's past with Heidi Allen were complicated, Charlotte didn't know how to explain it, so she didn't mention it.

Rick could not help laughing when he heard that. "Why does it sound like a child playing house?"

Charlotte lowered her head awkwardly.

The secretary said, "Tiffany had always had someone supporting her. But we never found any solid proof about her and Shane."
