Charlotte felt uneasy being stared at him. She stood up and tried to start a conversation with him. "Have you guys finished talking?"
"Yup."
"Uh, then I'll go in first."
Shane didn't respond.
Charlotte walked past him, into the ward.
Shane was too domineering over her. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down but her heart was still racing.
"Have you been chased by a wolf?" Rick smiled when he saw her out of breath.
"Pretty much. Maybe even scarier than a wolf."
"Does Shane know how ruthless he is in your heart?"
"He's not a ruthless person. He's... In short, he's scary."
Rick smiled.
Of course, he knew that Shane was not ruthless in her heart. On the contrary, she probably thought very highly of him.
She once said that Shane was a god.
For the few days Rick was in the hospital, Charlotte had been taking care of him.
Occasionally, he would hold a video conference.
Before Blake was arrested and sent for questioning, he released news that was damaging to the Jane Corporation. Furthermore, with Rick heavily injured, he couldn't show up and give an explanation. The whole situation sent people into a panic fit.
Charlotte was basically running between the company, the hospital and the Airline Union every day. She even asked Anne to pick up and drop off Sheryl at the kindergarten.
After a few days, she felt so tired she could fall asleep at anytime.
On this day, Charlotte was dealing with some follow- up problems of a new project at the company. There had been a major error during the negotiation so she had to deal with it personally.
It didn't matter if she was in the Jane Corporation or the NC Company, she always didn't see eye-to-eye with the negotiating team.
"Miss Charlotte, we're in trouble!"
Rick's assistant suddenly barged into her office.
Charlotte was startled. She put down the documents and looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"It's Blake Reau. He was released on bail and then somehow he found out that the young master's shares were no longer in his hands. He has told the media about this..."
"What!?"
"Now the stock price has dropped drastically. My phone is blowing up. going to blow up, so you want to find a way."
Charlotte muttered, "I'll go to the hospital first and discuss this with Rick."
"By this time, the hospital must be crowded by the news media."
"Then..." Charlotte was dumbfounded.
Should she ask Shane to transfer the shares back?
She didn't even know the details of the agreement between the two people. Based on what Shane said before, Rick gave his shares to Shane because he wanted to marry her...
What right does she have to ask back for the shares?
However, Rick was now seriously injured and she only had 20% of the Jane Corporation's shares together with Anne. She needed 51% of shares to have a say in any company affairs.
"Help me contact Mr. Fuller of the NC Company."
In the end, she decided to contact Shane reluctantly.
The assistant froze before lowering his head. "Ms. Emerson, the reason young master handed over the shares to Mr. Fuller was to not..."
Damn it.
The young master had asked him not to speak of this matter.
Charlotte wasn't aware that Shane already knew Sheryl was his daughter.
The assistant took a deep breath and continued, "To not appear at the wedding. Young master would be upset if he knew you went to see him."
"Do you have a better idea?" Charlotte was surprisingly calm.
"I..."
"I just need to persuade Shane to come with me before the media and tell them Braden is the major shareholder at the NC Company, then since Anne and Braden are now engaged, Rick transferred all his shares under Shane temporarily."
Using marriage as an explanation for the shares transfer?
The assistant's eyes lit up. "Ms. Emerson, this may actually work."
The idea was indeed feasible.
But would Shane agreed to do it?
Charlotte clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were bright with determination as she said, "Contact Mr. Fuller."
The assistant nodded politely. "Yes, I'll call..."
Before the assistant could finish his words, Charlotte's cell phone rang. She was shocked when she saw the caller ID.
It was Shane...
