Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 244

Peter was stunned. She bit her lip with some unhappiness and said, "Did my confession affect you?"

"Don't think that way. I want to resign because of personal reasons, and I may not really resign. Maybe I'm just testing the waters," Zoe said.

Zoe was a smart person.

However, as a secretary, there was no room for her to climb up the ladder.

Peter could tell from her words that she was free and easy, which was rare in the world. He couldn't help tilting his head to look at her. "Miss Watson, you are Ms. Emerson's friend, and you have Mr. Fuller supporting you. Although you deny it, Mr. Gibson seems to be interested in you. In this case, why should you resign?"

"I told you. It's just a test."

"No, I mean, why would you leave NO Company?"

"How do you know that I want to leave NC Company?" Zoe frowned and was very vigilant.

Everyone in the company knew that she was Charlotte's friend. They didn't know that she had come from NC Company, and they didn't know that she had worked in other companies.

How did Peter know about this? Did he investigate it?

No, that wasn't right. If Shane and Charlotte were able to get her into the company, that meant that they had cleaned up her resume. Other than others in the industry, there shouldn't be anyone else who knew that she had been working in NC Company.

So this Peter...

"Because I'm one of Mr. Fuller's people," Peter answered calmly. "I didn't intend to hide it from you. After all, I said that I liked you. I couldn't be dishonest with you."

"So that's what it is. No wonder you made such a detailed report back then."

"It's precisely that report. I wrote it in too much detail, which caused Ms. Emerson to be suspicious. She might have gone to look for Mr. Fuller to verify it, but Mr. Fuller had asked me to reveal my identity to Ms. Emerson. He said that Ms. Emerson had put me in an important position and that, in the future, Ms. Emerson would use me to pass him information."

Zoe laughed and shook her head. "Yes, being too serious is not a good thing. After all, you are a newcomer in the company. It's too surprising to come up with such a good proposal."

Peter bared his teeth and said, "Shouldn't you praise me for having such achievements at the age of 23?"

23 years old.

It was an age where it was still too early for men to start a family.

This kind of achievement was indeed worthy of pride and praise.

Zoe reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Kid, need to do a good job, do you understand?"

"Kid... I like that you call me like this. In the future, can you only call me this?"

Peter's eyes were bright.

Although he was wearing a pair of glasses, his eyes flashed different colors.

Zoe sighed. "We won't be together."

"I like to watch TV shows and desserts. I need three sugars in my coffee and I go to the gym three times a week. I'll listen to some soft music when I run. I..."

Peter slowly but efficiently told Zoe about himself.

Zoe was not daydreaming. She listened to what he said.

Although they might not be able to get together, it was good to chat as colleagues.

Peter Brown.

She was murmuring his name in her heart.

No matter how she thought about it, they were different kinds of people, and she was older than him.

In X Country.

When Charlotte woke up in a daze, she found that she was already in the house.

Shane sat on the sofa not far away with his laptop on his knees, his fingers tapping on the keyboard as if he were playing the piano. She could not help but be stunned.

His hands were really good-looking. It would be great if he could play the piano again.

She shook her head.

She had already messed up with Shane by talking about playing the piano. She wouldn't foolishly make a mistake there again.

Shane noticed her gaze and looked up. "Come here if you're awake."

Charlotte replied with an "okay" and walked up to him.

"Sit down."

She sat down obediently.

Shane motioned for her to look at the computer.

There were many small boats and airplanes on the screen, and they were connected by lines of either red, white, or blue.

"What is this?" Charlotte asked.

"Shipping routes."

"What about these colors?"
