Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 454

Cassius braced himself and urged, "Go on, Ms. Emerson."

In a moment of desperation, he reverted to her honorific title.

"Don't be so nervous. It's actually quite simple." Charlotte patted his shoulder. "I've found an assistant for you. He will be in charge of helping you find new talents, and he'll also help you approach business resources. Let's just say he could be your agent."

"Well, I used to have one, didn't I?" Cassius asked.

"You did before, but that was only one person. We are ready to set up a team for you."

A team.

Cassius nodded and said, "Well, what do I need to prepare?"

"You'll just have to meet them."

"Them? Didn't you say it was only an assistant?" Cassius was suspicious.

"Ah yes, first an assistant, then a team of nearly one hundred staff overseeing public relations, resources, and product planning. In short, they will be developing your personal brand. Rest assured, these people will be managed by me, all you need to do is to meet them."

"All right."

There were some miscellaneous matters that Charlotte did not bring up, but there would be time for that later. When she was about to ask Cassius to stay for the night, he coincidentally mentioned the guest rooms. Charlotte smiled and said, "I was just about to ask you to allow Cole and me to spend the night here."

"No problem. My guest rooms are large and comfortable. Usually, someone will clean it, so it's ready for you. Both of you can choose the one you prefer."

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"Not at all. Are you hungry? Let me cook for you."

Cassius could cook?

Charlotte and Cole had a bite to eat at a roadside stall before coming over. Although they were not healthy food, they were enough to satiate their hunger.

Still, Cassius cooking?

He sounded eager at the prospect. After exchanging glances with Cole, they saw interest reflected in each other's eyes. Thus, the matter was settled. However, it seemed impolite to take up Cassius's guest rooms and trouble him for a meal, so Cole offered to help.

Cassius was really good at cooking. He could cook and cut vegetables at the same time. His time management was precise.

Charlotte yawned as she watched him.

"Are you sleepy? It's almost done. You can sleep after eating." Cassius even had time to smile at her.

Charlotte nodded. "No matter what, I'll have to try the dishes you cooked."

Cassius smiled sheepishly.

Soon, the meal was ready to be served.

There were four dishes in total: hot and sour potato slices, mapo tofu, fried bean sprout with green peppers, and a relatively difficult braised pork dish. The braised pork was prepared in a pressure cooker, it tasted exceptionally soft and savory. Charlotte couldn't help but finish a few pieces.

"It seems like Miss Charlotte will have to lose weight tomorrow," Cole joked.

"Well see how it goes tomorrow. But today I will eat my fill."

"Yeah, it tastes so good. Even the rice is particularly delicious." "The rice is added with red rice and buckwheat, so it will be sweeter and more textured. If you like it, you're welcome to share meals with me. I'm always alone anyway. You can come over whenever."

Charlotte nodded. "Avery plans to bring Irena back to his city. Your place could be our new hang-out spot."

"That's great. I enjoy your company. I always learn new things from you."

Throughout the meal, Charlotte mentioned many common capital operations in the industry. At first, Cole did not understand a single thing. But his eyes lit up and he took out a pen and paper and started taking notes. The sky was already dark by the time they concluded their meal.

Cassius scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized, "I'm sorry, you guys are so tired but I kept the conversation going for so long. The servants have prepared the rooms. You should rest now."

"It's not a big deal." Charlotte yawned as she continued, "But I really can't hold on any longer. I'll go up first."
