Zoe promptly picked up the phone. "Lottie." "Why did I receive your resume?" Charlotte went straight to the point. "Did Shane make you do this?" Zoe kept quiet for a while and said, "I left NC three days ago. This is what happened.." The first thing Zoe asked Charlotte was whether she remembered when Charlotte took her place to go on a business trip with Shane and Christopher while they were still working in NC.
Charlotte remembered that of course. If it wasn't for that incident, her relationship with Christopher wouldn't have improved.
It was precisely that time.
Zoe's father's remarried wife's daughter had passed away. So, she had to go back to attend the funeral. It was similar to why she lost her job at NC this time. Her father went to NC and said that Zoe didn't fit to work in such a company.
Shane and Christopher didn't hold back while defending her. But Zoe could already predict her father's reaction if she insisted on staying in NC.
"I know that I can report to the police, and there are laws to protect me, but my father is now a madman. No matter how powerful the judge is, it makes no difference in front of him. After all, he is my father..." Zoe smiled bitterly.
He had always been strong and resolute, but he was a fool when it cto family affairs.
That was why.
Zoe resigned.
Shane begged her to stay, hoping that she wouldn't give up all the effort she had made and her promising future because of a ridiculous person.
Moreover, she was a spy on both Christopher and Shane's side, so Christopher also didn't want her to leave. But she loved NC and didn't want NC to get involved in public gossip.
"I saw your recruitment information just now and thought, I can help you out a little since it's still not a company yet. At least, I won't have too much tto overthink," Zoe explained. "That's...fine too." For a moment, Charlotte didn't know what to say.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Maybe fate brought us together," Zoe said with a smile.
"I'll hire you then. I'll take down the recruitment post and start choosing a house as well as the company address tomorrow. I'm going to be very busy." "Alright." People said that things would be less exhausting if men and women work together.
But Charlotte thought that working with Zoe was not exhausting as well.
After working for an entire day, Charlotte was extremely tired. She cleaned up the rented house and went back to her room to sleep.
She still had to get up early in the morning to study the trend of several leading businesses from a few industries. She also had to do son-the-spot surveys. Then only she could decide which industry should her company settle on. This was the most complicated as well as the most crucial part in the early stage.
Zoe returned to her own hand took out her phone to dial Shane's number.
Shane quickly picked it up. "How was it?" "Lottie has already moved into your house, and the company address is also the building you chose," Zoe answered respectfully.
"What task did Christopher assign you?" "He askedto keep a close eye on Charlotte and don't let the two of you have any contact. Although Lottie had already told Mr. Gibson that she would never give her shares to Mr. Gibson, Mr. Gibson had never given up." "Well, tell him that it won't affect me. Just let him make smoney." "Yes." "Get as much information about Emerson Corporation as possible. I'm going to start the acquisition plan." "Got it." After the call, Zoe stared blankly at her phone.
Charlotte was so lucky.
She always thought that Mr. Fuller wouldn't care about Charlotte anymore, but he still didn't leave her alone when she was in a difficult situation.
If only she could meet someone like this, even if it wasn't for love, she would be satisfied too.
The news of Charlotte's resignation blew up in the trading industry.
Soon, Rick had also announced the annulment of his marriage with Charlotte.
The engagement happened as fast as lightning, and the speed of their annulment was beyond prediction as well. Cole placed sdocuments in front of Shane and summoned up the courage to ask, "Mr. Fuller, I really don't understand what's going on with Mr. Jane. He tried so hard to marry Miss Charlotte. How can he give up just like that?" "It's because of me." "Ah?" Cole was stunned.
Shane looked at the documents in front of him with a calm expression. His thin lips parted slightly as he said, "To deal with Rick, it's useless forto just be close to Charlotte. I want him to believe that everything appeared to be a coincidence, and it's even because of what Charlotte had done that caused these coincidences." "Are you saying...' "The kidnapping case indeed has nothing to do with me, but everything that happened after the kidnapping case was within my expectations." Because Rick was hospitalized, he couldn't stay with Charlotte all the time. That made Shane absolutely anxious and uneasy.
The better Charlotte managed the company, the more effort it meant that she had to put in for him. That worried Shane more. He thought that it was a form of pity.
Under these circumstances, Charlotte repeatedly approached Shane, who Rick saw as a threat. If it was just Charlotte herself who was being close to Shane, there was still room to salvage the situation, but Sheryl was Rick's boundary.
"Moreover, Rick knew that Sheryl was my child and also knew that I knew about this. But Charlotte had no idea. So, she believes that the relationship between her andonly needs to be the sas that of an ordinary relationship." "You mean, because Charlotte didn't care to avoid arousing suspicion in their relationship, and that's why Mr. Jane..." "That's right." Cole was speechless.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "You've done so much just to get Miss Charlotte back to your side? But why don't you tell her directly?" "I want her to fall in love with me, of her own free will." Cole was silent.
He finally understood.
The reason Mr. Fuller divorced Ms. Emerson was to save face.
Mr. Fuller forced Ms. Emerson to leave Rick also because he didn't want to lose face.
It was the sreason Mr. Fuller treated Ms.
Emerson kindly.
He only cared about his ego and dignity in every situation.
Cole could understand Shane, but he couldn't fully comprehend Shane.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShane never really cared about anything, so why would he care so much about his reputation in Charlotte's impression? It was exactly because he cared about her that he had expectations for her.
In a swift of time, it was already half a month later.
NC and Jane Corporation didn't have much of a change.
The only big news was the official establishment of Charlotte's company.
The company mainly focused on transportation and cold chain technology.
Avery had also ended his collaboration with Jane Corporation and directly partnered with Charlotte's company.
At that time, many people in the industry were optimistic about Charlotte. After all, she was supported by Avery. In the past half month, Charlotte didn't contact Anne, and neither did Anne contact her. She didn't dare to ask her and could only let their friendship die.
It happened to be Children's Day on the 1st of June.
Shane ordered Cole to bring Sheryl back to Charlotte.
When Sheryl saw that Charlotte's house had changed, she ran to her excitedly and said, "Mommy, you don't live with Uncle Rick anymore? Then why don't you live with daddy? Daddy's house is huge!" "I can't live with him." Charlotte smiled bitterly and stroked her hair. "Sheryl, today is the 1st of June. Mom will take you out to play, okay?" "Can I suggest a small wish?" The little fella fluttered her eyes.
"Except for letting mommy and daddy be together." Sheryl immediately becupset. She pouted her lips and said, "Daddy is very nice to me. Although godfather is kind totoo, daddy is daddy after all..." To divert her attention, Charlotte had no choice but to bring Sheryl out to play.
The plan was very successful in the beginning. But while Sheryl was playing, she suddenly began to m clamor for a chance to see her daddy, and she said she wouldn't give up until she saw him. Charlotte was forced to hand her phone to Sheryl so that she could contact Shane.
m As soon as Sheryl got the phone, she immediately turned around and dialed the number. After the call was answered, she even walked to one side and looked at Charlotte with vigilance. What was going on? Her daughter still had to hide from her while she was calling a weird uncle? Sheryl moved closer to the speaker of the phone and whispered, "Daddy, I've successfully carried out my plan.
Chere quickly." "You did a great job." "Then can you bringa small cake when you come?" "Of course." Sheryl smiled happily, and her cheeks were a shade of rosy pink. "Daddy, as long as what you said is true, I will definitely help daddy!"
Daddy said that her godfather, Rick, bullied mommy. He even said that out that Rick had kicked ked mommy out of his house. Sheryl didn't believe it at first, but now it seemed to be true. Her godfather was truly horrible! X
