Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 28

In the president's office.

Shane was seated in his office chair, with his fingers intertwined and his hands rested on the edge of the desk. On his face hung what seemed like a smile as he stared right into Charlotte’s eyes.

She had returned to her usual composed, obedient self. The fiery tigress from earlier was nowhere to be found.

"Charlotte, do you not owe me an explanation?"

"An explanation?" What was there for her to explain? Shane's question caught Charlotte by surprise. Baffled, she raised her head to meet the man's eyes.

Sensing Charlotte's confusion, Shane pulled the corner of his lips up into a smirk. For the first time, he explained what was on his mind, 'T ve always despised employees who are constantly involved in strife."

'Constantly involved in strife?' she repeated in her heart.

'Me?'

'With which eye did he see me constantly

involved in strife?'

'Could it be my exchange with Jace earlier?'

Charlotte fell silent for a few seconds. Ultimately, she got herself together and, with a smile that lingered on the edges of her lips, she replied, "Mr. Fuller, I've only joined the company a few days ago. I have barely gotten to know everyone in the company! Who could I possibly involve in strife?"

She did not view herself as a competent employee of the company, nor was she a confidant of Shane's, so she felt no need to spill the truth.

"They're all targeting you. Why is that?"

As soon as those words left Shane's lips, Charlotte almost flipped out. 'Why is that, you ask? If it isn't all thanks to you!' she hissed in her heart.

But of course, she dared not voice it aloud. After all, this job meant the world to her at that moment.

Seeing the distress on Charlotte's face, Shane' s heart softened and his tone followed.

"If you want others to respect you, you must be able to portray yourself as a capable, dignified professional."

"Mr. Fuller?"

"That’s all. You may leave."

Before Charlotte could digest his message, Shane spun around in his office chair so that his back faced her.

'Did Shane just give me a tip?' she mused.

'Has he always been this kind?'

Pondering, Charlotte walked back to her office.
