Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 172

Even though Charlotte was suspicious, she did not ask. She led the way to the office. At the elevator, she pressed the button to go upstairs.

For a few seconds when they were in the elevator, Charlotte surreptitiously looked at Christopher from the corner of her eye.

He was still wearing the same kind of clothes, and had the same facial features. Even his temperament had not changed much. So why did she feel that he was not being sincere with her?

That was until.

They entered Rick's office.

Rick's lips curved upward. He pointed at the coffee machine and said, "You can get something to drink first. No need to rush."

All of a sudden, Charlotte felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was as dumb as a wooden doll and unable to move.

She finally understood.

She was comparing Christopher to Rick.

In fact, the personalities of these two people were somewhat similar. They were gentle, kind to others, gentlemanly and polite.

However, after having been in contact with Rick for a long time, she felt that Christopher was a sham when compared to Rick.

"What's the matter?" Rick stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her. "What are you daydreaming about?"

"I had some coffee downstairs, I'm not that thirsty." Charlotte lowered her head and sat down on the sofa.

Rick was helpless. He took the documents from the desk and sat down with her.

Christopher sat opposite to them and held out his resume. "My detailed information is in here. Please have a look, Mr. Jane."

As Rick accepted the resume, he handed over a document as well. "These are the positions at our company that are vacant. Please have a look, Mr. Gibson."

"Alright."

All that could be heard was the sound of pages being turned.

Christopher's resume was clean and concise, without too many entries on it.

Except for the fact that he had been in NC Company for several years, he did not have any outstanding achievements.

Even when it came to the projects he had participated in while at NC Company, he still held back and did not detail everything. At least, some of what Charlotte knew was true had not been written there.

"Mr. Gibson, is there a position you are interested in?" Rick asked with a smile.

"Not yet. All the positions suitable for me have been filled. Although I would be compensated, I would need to go on business trips."

Rick sighed. "I brought a lot of my staff back from abroad."

"Yes, but we can still cooperate."

"To deal with NC Company?" Rick asked.

"No, I have some shares for the Emerson Corporation. I want to exchange them with you."

"I'll need to think about it."

"Well, then I'll wait for the good news. If you have decided, you can contact me at any time."

'Rick stood up and said goodbye to Christopher with a smile.

Charlotte didn't know if Rick had sensed anything. Either way, it was very difficult for her to calm down now. There were too many problems exposed in this meeting. She went to where the coffee machine was and took a glass of cold water for herself.

After drinking the water, she felt a little better.

When Rick returned, Charlotte put her hands on the table. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted and her expression was distorted. She looked at the document in confusion.

"Do you think there is something wrong with Christopher Gibson?" Rick came to her side and took away the document.

This was the hiring information he had just given to Christopher.

Charlotte nodded. She pointed at the document and said, "You're testing him too. The information you've given him isn't correct at all."

"He came for the Fuller Corporation stock, not to join the Jane Corporation."

"So that's why..."

"He's like me. He likes to play with appearances."

Charlotte laughed with a "huff" sound.

Rick reached over and rubbed at her hair. The action was so intimate that both of them were stunned, and then they kept a distance from each other.

Rick returned to his desk and sat down, lightly tapping the table with his long fingers. "I suspect that the person who is causing trouble behind the scenes is Christopher. I don't know what relationship he has with the Emerson family for the time being."

"Christopher wouldn't do such a thing, right? Isn't he Shane's friend?" Although Charlotte also felt that Christopher was a little inauthentic, the feeling she had at that moment was not enough to cancel out his previous kindness towards her.

"Does what he did make him seem like Shane's friend?"

"I don't understand."

"When you compare Braden's reaction when he sees you with me with Christopher's reaction, you'll find the answer."

Indeed.
