Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 201

Charlotte left the hotel and sat down at a nearby coffee shop. She looked through her notes again and again as she made some corrections.

Suddenly, a man appeared before her. She thought it was Avery so she didn't even raise her head and said, "I still have to look through some documents. You can go back first, I'll have my friend pick me up."

"Is Rick picking you up?"

This voice didn't sound like Avery's.

Charlotte raised her head and was shocked for a moment. "Shane?"

"Let me treat you to dinner tonight. Consider it as a thank you for that day at the bar. Okay?" Shane leaned back against his chair and looked at her.

"We..." Charlotte muttered.

"Although you no longer have feelings for me, I still feel indebted towards you. I will leave you alone after I pay you back."

Charlotte pursed her lips and explained in a low voice, "I didn't do it for you. I just felt it was dangerous for Anne, a girl, to go alone that night."

"However, you've also indirectly helped me by that."

That seemed to be true.

Charlotte immediately froze. She fiddled with her fingers hesitantly as she stared at the table blankly.

"If that's the case, then I wouldn't want to waste your time. You can just tell me what you want to say at dinner now."

"Dinner is not a waste of time."

"You clearly want to help me obtain a seat in the Airline Union. Why do you need to use dinner as an excuse?" Charlotte asked him with confusion.

Shane's thin lips curled and he leaned forward. "Alright. Miss Charlotte, may I have dinner with you?"

Charlotte didn't know what to say.

Did he mean his main purpose was to have dinner with her?

"I'm on a diet. I don't eat dinner." This reason seemed impeccable to Charlotte.

"I'll eat."

Shane's words made Charlotte speechless.

In the end, she helplessly went to a restaurant with him.

It was very quiet. Not another person was in sight.

Charlotte was a little scared, "Shane, why is there no one here? It feels so empty."

"It's mine."

"Uh..." She was at a loss for words.

The dishes were served very quickly. They also tasted very delicious. Shane did have very fine taste, but his character...

Charlotte thought for a moment. Finally, she secretly texted Rick her address and an explanation on what happened. She thought if something were to happen, she would have a way out.

But she didn't know Shane was watching her every move.

"You sent a message to Rick."

It was not a question.

Charlotte nodded her head subconsciously before suddenly raising her head. "Huh? What?"

"Aren't you afraid that I would already have done what I wanted before he comes?" Shane's lips curled slightly.

"You, stop messing around," She said cautiously.

Shane put down his fork and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. "Mr. Kent of the Airline Union is a close friend of the president. If you want to deal with him, you'd have to get rid of the president altogether."

Charlotte frowned.

The topic changed a little too quickly. She needed some time to think about it.

"I'll need to obtain all the start-up capital and become the president at the same time."

"You want to make him a mere puppet? And you want to get his money?" Charlotte was shocked.

"That's right."

"First of all, you have to make his company inseparable from the Airline Union. Secondly, you'd have to get rid of Christopher as the secretary. If you can't achieve the first point, you wouldn't even be able to control his funds. If Christopher is around, you can't get all the official seals even if you have all the money and power."

Shane was quite surprised and he nodded in approval.

She had changed a lot since they last met.

She was indeed very perceptive. All he did was put forward his request and she had already planned out her goals.

Shane leaned back and his gaze fell on her slender fingers, which were clasped together due to her nervousness.

He asked, "If it was you, what's your plan?"
