Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 223

Zoe promptly picked up the phone. "Lottie."

"Why did I receive your resume?" Charlotte went straight to the point. "Did Shane make you do this?"

Zoe kept quiet for a while and said, "I left NC three days ago. This is what happened.."

The first thing Zoe asked Charlotte was whether she remembered when Charlotte took her place to go on a business trip with Shane and Christopher while they were still working in NC.

Charlotte remembered that of course. If it wasn't for that incident, her relationship with Christopher wouldn't have improved.

It was precisely that time.

Zoe's father's remarried wife's daughter had passed away. So, she had to go back to attend the funeral. It was similar to why she lost her job at NC this time. Her father went to NC and said that Zoe didn't fit to work in such a company.

Shane and Christopher didn't hold back while defending her. But Zoe could already predict her father's reaction if she insisted on staying in NC.

"I know that I can report to the police, and there are laws to protect me, but my father is now a madman. No matter how powerful the judge is, it makes no difference in front of him. After all, he is my father..." Zoe smiled bitterly.

He had always been strong and resolute, but he was a fool when it came to family affairs.

That was why.

Zoe resigned.

Shane begged her to stay, hoping that she wouldn't give up all the effort she had made and her promising future because of a ridiculous person.

Moreover, she was a spy on both Christopher and Shane's side, so Christopher also didn't want her to leave.

But she loved NC and didn't want NC to get involved in public gossip.

"I saw your recruitment information just now and thought, I can help you out a little since it's still not a company yet. At least, I won't have too much time to overthink," Zoe explained.

"That's...fine too." For a moment, Charlotte didn't know what to say.

"Maybe fate brought us together," Zoe said with a smile.

"I'll hire you then. I'll take down the recruitment post and start choosing a house as well as the company address tomorrow. I'm going to be very busy."

"Alright."

People said that things would be less exhausting if men and women work together.

But Charlotte thought that working with Zoe was not exhausting as well.

After working for an entire day, Charlotte was extremely tired. She cleaned up the rented house and went back to her room to sleep.

She still had to get up early in the morning to study the trend of several leading businesses from a few industries. She also had to do some on-the- spot surveys. Then only she could decide which industry should her company settle on. This was the most complicated as well as the most crucial part in the early stage.

Zoe returned to her own home and took out her phone to dial Shane's number.

Shane quickly picked it up. "How was it?"

"Lottie has already moved into your house, and the company address is also the building you chose," Zoe answered respectfully.

"What task did Christopher assign you?" "He asked me to keep a close eye on Charlotte and don't let the two of you have any contact. Although Lottie had already told Mr. Gibson that she would never give her shares to Mr. Gibson, Mr. Gibson had never given up."

"Well, tell him that it won't affect me. Just let him make some money."

"Yes."

"Get as much information about Emerson Corporation as possible. I'm going to start the acquisition plan."

"Got it."

After the call, Zoe stared blankly at her phone.

Charlotte was so lucky.

She always thought that Mr. Fuller wouldn't care about Charlotte anymore, but he still didn't leave her alone when she was in a difficult situation.

If only she could meet someone like this, even if it wasn't for love, she would be satisfied too.

The news of Charlotte's resignation blew up in the trading industry.

Soon, Rick had also announced the annulment of his marriage with Charlotte.

The engagement happened as fast as lightning, and the speed of their annulment was beyond prediction as well.

Cole placed some documents in front of Shane and summoned up the courage to ask, "Mr. Fuller, I really don't understand what's going on with Mr. Jane. He tried so hard to marry Miss Charlotte. How can he give up just like that?"

"It's because of me."

"Ah?" Cole was stunned.

Shane looked at the documents in front of him with a calm expression. His thin lips parted slightly as he said, "To deal with Rick, it's useless for me to just be close to Charlotte. I want him to believe that everything appeared to be a coincidence, and it's even because of what Charlotte had done that caused these coincidences."

"Are you saying..."

"The kidnapping case indeed has nothing to do with me, but everything that happened after the kidnapping case was within my expectations."
