Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 89

In the huge office, everyone was staring at the little girl in Shane's arms as they looked at each other speechless.

"Mr. Fuller."

"Let's continue."

Shane put Sheryl on a chair beside him and crossed his legs indifferently.

As the meeting continued, Shane glanced at the little girl, propped on her elbow, unintentionally.

"Mr. Fuller, the contract with the Leynux Company has expired. Do you want to renew it?"

At this time, the manager, who was presenting a slideshow on the podium, dared not even breathe aloud. He stared with his eyes and mouth opened wide as the usually strict president suddenly fixed the clothes of the little girl casually.

This was something that would only happen in their wildest dreams.

"Mr. Fuller?"

As no one replied, the manager called out again to get his attention. Cold sweat continuously broke out on his back.

"Hm."

Shane paused what he was doing and looked towards the manager who spoke.

"Is there anything else to discuss?"

Shane held Sheryl in his arms and glanced at the people around him.

"N...no."

They daren't even say more.

"Then let's call it a day."

After Shane left, the men behind started to gossip relentlessly.

"Do you think the little girl in Mr. Fuller's arms is his illegitimate child? It seems that the girl looks quite similar to him. Look at her facial features..."

"You're right. They do look like each other. Maybe she's Mr. Fuller's illegitimate daughter. Otherwise, why would he dote on her so much? Besides, when was he ever gentle towards someone?"

The high- ranking executives discussed amongst themselves as they were organizing the files. His sight landed on Cole, who was turning off the projector, and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Play, who is that little girl?"

"I'm sorry, this is the president's private matter. He will publicise it himself."

Cole quickly walked out of the conference room.

In the afternoon, Shane had left the company early and arrived at the Royal Restaurant as agreed.

"Shane, is this little girl really tagging along with you?"

Braden took a look at Shane, who was holding her hand, then suddenly squatted down and flashed a charming smile.

"Yes."

Braden stretched out his hand to grab hold of her but caught air instead. He pursed his lips awkwardly as he stood up unhappily. "I'm not even going to do anything to her. Do you have to be so wary?"

"But such a cute little girl really makes me want to squeeze her to death."

Braden suddenly threw himself towards her but stopped in his tracks when he noticed Shane's intense gaze on him.

"Hmph, I'm not even interested in hugging her."

Braden arrogantly walked over towards the room and sat down beside Christopher who was playing games on his phone. Braden couldn't help but grumbled, "I thought this fellow is going to be a bachelor for life. Who knows in a blink of an eye, he even has a daughter now. Although..."

"Aren't you thirsty?"

Christopher put down his phone and handed a glass full of juice to the man beside him, who was talking non-stop.

"I am a little thirsty."

Braden picked up the cup compliantly, and his eyes caught a glimpse of the duo who had already taken their seats.

"Mr. Rude, Mr. Gentleman just doesn't want to listen to you."

Sheryl suddenly kicked her small legs and covered her mouth with her hand with a smile on her face.

"How dare you!"

Braden withdrew his hand slowly. The corners of his mouth twitched as he pretended to be calm and asked, "Sheryl, why am I Mr. Rude but he is Mr. Gentleman?"
