"Give it back to me!" Charlotte roared in anger. However, Shane only glanced at her neutrally and raised the contract in his hand above Charlotte's head.
"Give it to me! You're cheating!" Even though Charlotte was standing on her tiptoes, she still couldn't get to the contract that was tens of centimeters higher than her head. She couldn't help but mumble.
"How am I cheating? I did ask you to read it carefully. It's not my fault that you didn't." Shane didn't move. After a few seconds of silence, Charlotte said in an angry voice, "I... I really trusted you too much." All of a sudden, she threw a quick glance over and jumped on her tiptoes. She had indeed gotten hold of the contract, but the next second...
She didn't know what her hand was holding onto. She only knew that if she didn't hold on tightly enough, she might end up sprawled on the marble floor.
Unexpectedly, Charlotte did not feel any coldness as she slowly opened her tightly shut eyes. When she saw the man who was pressed under her body, her face instantly turned red. I m... I m sorry.
Charlotte wanted to stand up, but the man below her grabbed her and she was once again plunged into Shane's embrace. She could clearly hear the sound of a strong heartbeat.
"Charlotte, since seducingdidn't work out, now you're throwing yourself at me?" "I'm not! Let go!" Charlotte forcefully stood up. Without even looking at Shane, she rushed out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA few minutes later, Shane slowly got up and glanced at the figure who was rushing out. He was in a good mood. Just now, Shane almost had no tto think before he was dragged to the ground by Charlotte.
At the last second before hitting the floor, he had turned over unexpectedly and becCharlotte's landing pad. Charlotte ran back to her room and immediately closed the door. She rushed to lay on the bed in annoyance. She couldn't figure it out, so she called Anne. "Anne, I miss you." Charlotte buried her whole face in the covers, so only a weak voice could be heard.
"You sweet-talker. I just know you're like that" Anne said in a tone of annoyance.
"Anne, I can't control myself anymore." Charlotte was silent for a long tbefore she finally spoke slowly.
"What's wrong?" "Do you think I shouldn't have moved in with Shane? I keep feeling that I..." Before Charlotte could finish her words, Anne interrupted her.
"You've fallen in love with Shane." "Love?" Charlotte smiled bitterly. She immediately said, "At the very most, I'm only interested in him, I think? Actually, I don't know what kind of situation I am in either. He askedto sign a new contract today..." "And then?" Anne suddenly raised her voice and asked in a hurry.
"I fell down on top of him. What if he thinks that I'm trying to seduce him?" The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt. She simply buried her entire body under the covers and refused to cout.
"How could that be? Don't worry. Shane is so busy every day. He won't remember what happened today. Have a good sleep. Tomorrow will be a full day." Anne could only comfort her. She couldn't help yawning.
In fact, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this situation. Anne already knew from Braden that Shane was interested in Charlotte. Since the two of them were interested in each other, why couldn't they be married for real? "Okay." Charlotte hung up the phone helplessly and forced herself not to think too much. However, what happened more than ten minutes ago was still lingering in her mind. She had a sleepless night.
Early the next morning, Charlotte was prepared to leave with dark circles around her eyes.
"Mommy, cand have breakfast." Sheryl greeted her mother, who was dressed neatly and was ready to go out. She waved her little hand and shouted excitedly. "Baby, I can't eat now. Mommy has to go to work." "But today is a weekend.' Sheryl pursed her lips and glanced at the seat where Shane was sitting aggrievedly. Then, she said, "Daddy, you're forcing Mommy to work." Charlotte didn't know how to answer. She didn't know how this little girl's brain could react so quickly. "Today is not a workday." Shane narrowed his eyes as he looked at Charlotte's face.
"There's only one more day before the auction. I'm going to the office to finalize the proposal for the auction. Look after Sheryl for me. I'm sure you can take good care of her." After Charlotte finished speaking, she walked out without waiting for Shane's reply.
"Daddy, what is Mommy talking about?" Sheryl was confused. She didn't understand why her mother was so busy. Her father wasn't busy at all.
"You'll understand when you grow up." Shane deliberately teased her and ruffled her hair dotingly.
When he noticed the look in Sheryl's eyes, Shane asked with a smile, "Why are you always looking at Daddy?" "Because Daddy is very handsome," Sheryl answered. Sure enough, she was great at flattery.
Shane laughed lowly. Then, he lifted Sheryl and walked out.

Charlotte couldn't help but think of Shane. She couldn't keep looking at her draft designs.
In order to increase her inspiration, Charlotte decided to walk out of the office resolutely. She drove a fewn times around the block. Even if she couldn't find any inspiration, she could at least relax a bit. As she drove, she suddenly realized that the Emerson Corporation offices were right in front of her.
Charlotte scoffed coldly. Just as she was about to turn around, she glanced at Elaine, who had just m om emerged from the Emerson Corporation. What Charlotte saw immediately after completely shocked her. At the entrance of the office, a man who followed Elaine out stepped forward and held Elaine in his arms. "Let's get out of here first." Elaine looked around and before finally turning to greet the man behind her reluctantly.
"I'll do as you say." The man smiled lewdly and unconsciously moved his hand to Elaine's waist.
Charlotte immediately opened the car door and got down.
When their eyes met, Elaine let out a hearty laugh, There wasn't a trace of shfrom being caught.
"Charlotte, I thought you would never dare to chere again. I underestimated you." Elaine pushed away the hand on her waist and could not help but glare at the man.
"Elaine, who is he?" "Why should I tell you? Don't act all high and mighty. I'm now the acting CEO of Emerson Corporation. I'm no longer Elaine who had nothing back in those days." Elaine slowly lifted the corners of her red lips, and a trace of bloodthirstiness flashed across her eyes.
After Charlotte seemingly thought of something, her face instantly turned pale. She pointed at the man standing beside Elaine before finally returning her gaze to Elaine. X
