Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 162

In the afternoon, Charlotte wrote the email and went to meet the managers of two of the companies.

They both rejected her politely. After all, they didn't want to offend the Jane Corporation, and they didn't want to lose the partners that they had worked with for many years either. They didn't care even when Charlotte repeatedly emphasized the amount and value of the order.

She said helplessly, "Your partners must be really relieved to work with you. If you want to end your collaborations with the other companies, please contact us as soon as possible. The price and quantity can be negotiated."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Emerson. In fact, we also want to cooperate with the Jane Corporation. To be honest, this business has only been on the rise for five or six years, and many factories and companies have signed an agreement of five to ten years. If you approach in the next year or two, many contracts will have ended."

"Thank you. This information is very important to me."

"I wish the Jane Corporation all the best."

By the time she returned to the office, it was already 6:30 p.m.

Many employees were getting off work, but she walked against the flow of traffic while heading for overtime.

"Ms. Emerson is really hardworking..."

"Why else would Mr. Jane like her?"

"I think she was here before nine o'clock, and now she's going to work again. She's really working all hours."

Charlotte was already used to hearing such words.

In the beginning, there were people who said that she was pretending to work hard. As time passed, these people began to stop gossiping, to the extent where there were even some who even worshipped her.

However, she really didn't like to be the subject of discussion, so she had to lower her head and quickly leave the crowd every time.

It was past nine o'clock.

Charlotte was still sorting out the information.

"Knock, knock!"

"Come in." She didn't even look up. "Aren't you going home yet?" Rick sat opposite her with two cups of coffee in his hands. Then he languidly put down his papers and laptop, and started work.

"I'm really having some trouble." Charlotte sighed. "Rick, you really handled this in the past?"

Rick nodded.

Charlotte shook her head until her hair was disheveled. "You're amazing. I knew that your quality of work is higher than mine."

"You should take a rest. It doesn't matter as long as I'm here."

"I hope that one day, I can also say this to you."

"Lottie, I could have given you the company and waited abroad for the result. I came back with you to manage the development of the Asia Pacific Region so that you would not be so overworked."

"I appreciate your kindness. If you don't like seeing me so busy, you can go abroad in a few days and let me try doing it alone."

Rick couldn't help but laugh.

He got up and walked to her side. He tapped the tip of her nose with his long finger. "Are you trying to drive me away from my own company?"

Charlotte took a step back to hide and covered her face with her arms. "I'm thinking of your health. Anne said that your digestion is not good and you always have insomnia. You've also had liver surgery."

Rick said, "I'm already like this. I don't want you to go through the same thing. Don't overdo it. Let's put this project aside."

"No."

"You don't want to listen to me?"

"I'm not your sister."

"Then what am I to you?"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to reply, her phone rang. She immediately grabbed her phone and hurriedly ran towards the pantry. She needed to calm down a little.

She picked up the phone.

On the other end, the man's voice was a little cold. "You looked for so many other companies, but you wouldn't enquire your former company?"

"Mr... Mr. Fuller?" Charlotte was so frightened that she almost dropped the phone.

"You sound so scared. What do you think I'll do to you?"

For no reason at all, Charlotte's heart was in a state of panic. She chuckled awkwardly.

Shane switched the hand holding the phone, his gaze falling on the document in front of him. "I have a few companies here. Let's find a time to meet tomorrow."

"But I..."

Beep, beep, beep-

Charlotte stared at her phone in a daze.

Was Shane trying to help her?

Charlotte stood there in a daze. Behind her, Rick was leaning against the wall with a cup of coffee in hand. His gaze landed on her, but it also seemed as if he had fallen into a void.

In the end, Charlotte decided that she wouldn't accept any help from Shane.

Since she didn't want Rick to help, she couldn't turn around to ask Shane for help.

If she did that, she would despise herself from the bottom of her heart."
