Shane strode into the secluded restaurant and headed towards the private booth on the second floor.
Cole parked the car in the garage and quickly followed behind him.
At this time, Charlotte was already waiting at the entrance of the booth but she did not enter.
"Mr... Fuller."
Charlotte called out softly as the handsome man slowly approached her.
"Call me Shane next time. You don't need to be so formal."
His warm breath blew against her skin. Charlotte's face immediately turned crimson red.
"Let's go in."
"This..."
Charlotte glanced around at the room's elegant layout. The arrangement of the rosewood table showed the tasteful design of the restaurant.
Although the Emerson family was quite well-known, they still weren't able to get a VIP room here, not to mention a big private booth.
"This is Braden's place."
Lottie's eyes immediately widened in shock at his words.
"Yes, I am the owner of this restaurant. To be exact, it's a hobby of mine to kill time."
Braden walked over with a smile on his face. He stopped a few feet away from Charlotte. "I didn't expect Shane to invite you here. Mr. Writ was already going to sign a deal with the NC company. Who knew you would enter the equation so suddenly?"
"Mr. Collins, don't you think you are disrespecting other designers if you signed a contract based on your connections?"
Charlotte gazed directly into Braden's playful eyes. She did not worry much about her own design.
"Miss Emerson, let me ask you then, don't you think it's unfair for the other designers that you're using this resourceful man beside you?"
Braden wasn't mad but he asked back with a smile.
"I have the ability to beat other people. You can gather all the other designers around, I have no objection."
"You are just so confident?"
Shane asked before he could reply.
"That's right."
Charlotte nodded her head.
She couldn't disappoint Shane and she didn't want Braden to look down on her.
"Hi!"
Charlotte heard a soft voice from behind her. She turned around and stared at the face that was almost as good-looking as Shane.
Shane was elegant from the inside out but the man before her gave a warm and gentle vibe.
He was the ideal image of a gentleman...
All of a sudden, her line of sight was blocked. She saw a gloomy face as she slowly shifted her gaze upwards.
"Let's go in."
Shane threw a cold glance at Braden, who followed behind him.
Braden suddenly shivered when he noticed that the temperature around him had dropped.
"Are you the Charlotte Braden spoke of?"
Mr. Writ pointed towards the dainty woman hidden behind Shane and asked in a positive tone.
"Hello, Mr. Writ, my name is Charlotte. Nice to meet you."
Charlotte suddenly stuck out her head from Shane's back and introduced herself courteously.
"I've seen your resume. I've also done some research on your work. I'm quite optimistic about you.
Mr. Writ glanced at Charlotte sternly as he sat down.
"Thank you."
Charlotte was about to sit beside Mr. Writ when Braden sat beside him smugly. But she was quickly pulled to the table next to them.
It was Shane who pulled her over.
The atmosphere turned awkward in an instant. Charlotte felt like burying herself in a hole.
"Mr. Fuller, who is this?"
