Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 44

The steely glare that bored all the way to the back of her head told her that Shane Fuller meant every word he said.

Charlotte had never seen this side of Shane before.

Her fingers began to quiver and she was left utterly gobsmacked. She had braced herself for facing the brunt of the consequences, but the thought of Emerson Corporation being implicated had never crossed her mind.

Emerson Corporation was the last thing that her mother had passed down to her. Under no circumstances would she let the company meet its downfall.

She bit her lip and met his stare. "Alright. I will do as you say."

For her mother's sake, she would find that person by hook or by crook.

Shane had not expected to see such determination in Charlotte's eyes. He frowned and said sternly, "You may leave now."

Charlotte’s lips parted to reply, but no words came to her. Deciding against it, she turned around and made her way out. Just as she was reaching the door, the heavy silence of her exit was broken. "This company strictly forbids romantic relationships between staff,” called out Shane.

Charlotte was flabbergasted. What did Shane mean by this?

Why was he bringing this topic up with her?

Charlotte stayed silent for a moment. Finally, she nodded in acknowledgment.

However, a whirlwind of questions was spinning in her head.

Putting that aside, her utmost priority now was to gather all the evidence she would need to clear her name and expose the ugly truth. It was going to take the world by storm.

The doors shut with a thud and a click.

Feeling drained from the conversation, Shane leaned back in his chair and massaged the space between his eyebrows.

He had let his emotions get the better of him.

The situation was out of their hands, and the bid was already a lost cause. It was not at all worth questioning.
