Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 228

"You can put it that way." Shane put down his cup of coffee.

"Why?" Charlotte looked at him with an unwavering gaze.

Shane didn't answer her. He got up, picked up his suit, and walked to the door. The moment he put on his shoes and was about to open the door to leave, he stopped.

"Your company won't be facing any crisis for the time being. A bidding will be held three days later. It's very important to the partnership, so you need to cooperate with me. Only after you take over the project can you really gain a foothold in this industry."

Bang-

The door was closed.

Shane, he...

Charlotte looked at the document on the table again. She reached out, wanting to grab them, but then she retracted her hand again.

After hesitating a few times, her fingers had already become stiff. Only then did she decide to pick up the document.

She wouldn't let his good intention go to waste.

Charlotte left Shane's house and went to her office.

After checking the accounts, she discovered something very strange.

Kendall had obviously posed a threat to her company, but the data was no different from five days ago when she left.

In other words, Shane had not only helped her to dodge Kendall's threat but also adjusted everything to be the same as before.

Of course, his help was an easy job. All he had to do was to give Kendall's company enough money, and no one in the world could pose a threat to Charlotte, let alone the Stevens Family. However, this time, one could only say that he had really put in a lot of effort.

"Zoe." She called.

Zoe, who had been accompanying her all this time, took a step forward. "Lottie, I'm always here." "Can you check all the projects related to the partnership that will be happening in River City three days later? I want to get a hold of the key to the bidding."

"No problem."

Shane didn't clarify what project he was talking about. He probably wanted to see whether she was aware of it or not.

All of a sudden, Charlotte felt that things were becoming more interesting.

She would let Shane know that he was right for not underestimating her.

Zoe quickly brought a pile of documents. On which all the projects related to the partnership were displayed. Among them, it showed that two companies would be participating in the bidding three days later, and both had close business relationships with the partnership.

Judging from the documents, there was essentially no difference between the two projects. One was airfreight, and the other was sea freight.

"Shane said that I need to cooperate with him to take over the project so that I can gain a foothold in this industry. If it's sea freight, then there's no need to complicate it. Both the partnership and NC's main focuses are sea freight," Charlotte muttered to herself.

Zoe didn't understand what she was talking about at all. She just stood on one side.

In just a few months.

She was still a secretary, but Charlotte was already...

"Furthermore, he wants me to cooperate with him. Judging from various aspects, I don't have any intention to work with him. Taking over the project alone and begging me to work with him will be easier for him than working with me in the first place. After all, if the company is not powerful enough one day, I will become a variable. Shane wouldn't like this kind of uncertainty." As Charlotte spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper and wrote one word on it.

Zoe turned her head to look at the paper.

That word was Rick.

"It can only be Rick. It's definitely because Rick is interested in this project, so Shane wanted me to snatch it from him. It's the only way to convince him that I've completely moved on from Rick."

"As for why he wants me to cut clean with Rick... ” Charlotte paused halfway. She wrinkled the paper and threw it into the trash can. "Forget it. That has nothing to do with this matter."

Charlotte calmed herself down and handed a card to Zoe. "I want to know which one of these two projects did Rick participate in, in an hour. And whether he has joined the partnership or not, as well as his recent relationship with the Stevens family. You take this card and go find a bar named 'Melancholy Blues' to find Avery's men."

"This card..." Zoe asked tentatively.

"I asked Avery to add your fingerprint. Don't worry about it. Only you and I can use it."

Zoe was dumbfounded.

The meaning behind these words didn't sound simple.

Charlotte stood up, patted Zoe on the shoulder, and said with a light chuckle, "I know that you're loyal to NC, and I also know that you had no choice but to do what you did when you were working for Shane and Christopher, so you don't have to explain too much to me. Don't be afraid of betraying me. I won't give you the chance."

"It has only been a few months, but you and I are already so far apart on the social ladder." Zoe smiled bitterly. She looked at the card in her hand and tightened her grip.

"Everything that I have now was the result of my parents' death and two devastating heartbreaks. Zoe, if it's possible, I hope you never become who I am."

People often said.

In this world, employees and bosses would never reach a compromise.

The employees always thought that they didn't earn enough money, and the bosses always felt that they were burdened with the dreams of their workers and themselves.
