Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

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 handsman slowly approached her.

"CallShane 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, letask 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 nis 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 sresearch 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?" "My wife." Shane gave a brief introduction.

"She's cute." Mr. Writ touched his chin and raised his eyebrows at Charlotte, who was already blushing.

Braden couldn't help but straighten his collar. He glared at the man next to him who couldn't ad the room at all. "Let's begin." "Alright." Mr. Writ said softly. He then pointed at Braden, who was anxious to have a go, and continued, "You can go first. To be honest, I'm not really interested in your work." Braden was stunned for a few seconds. Suddenly, he pointed to Mr. Writ exasperatedly and complained, "Can't you giveangrily at the man next to him and said, "Can't you save my ego? People improve with time, don't you know?" "I don't think that applies to you." Writ smiled wryly at Braden, who was already furious.

"Pfft-" Charlotte couldn't keep a straight face any longer and let out a laugh. Shane, who was sitting next to her, was also stunned.

"The thof our design is love..." Braden paid no attention to the man's sarcastic remarks as he continued to speak with assurance.

Charlotte couldn't help but admire his competency. Otherwise, he wouldn't be working with Shane. "What about you?" After Braden finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Charlotte on the other side.

"Aren't you completely convinced by my design? It's okay. Keep your amazement to yourself." "Sorry, I was distracted." Charlotte apologized sincerely. Braden's face turned dark in an instant.

Beside her, Shane's mouth curved up slightly. He crossed his legs and frowned when it knocked against the table.

"My design is centralised around a teardrop. The outside is composed of several triangles it symbolizes a mother's eternal love for her child and her unbreakable courage..." It was strange to see three adult men listen to Charlotte talk about her design.

As she finished, Charlotte pursed her lips and waited for Mr. Writ's response.

"Not bad."

He took the lead and started to applaud. Then he continued, "I'd like to ask you a personal question, why did you cup with such an idea? E Most people would design something that revolves dreams and love." "Actually, I've thought about love but I felt it was hard to resonate with people." Charlotte explained earnestly.

"You are very smart." "Thank you." Charlotte didn't think that he was mocking her so she accepted it with a smile.

"Mr. Fuller, why is your wife working in the Emerson Corporation instead of your company? She is an asset." Writ couldn't help but tease him.

"I don't care." Shane said with a blank face. In fact, only Braden could feel his expression softened.

"Mr. Writ, whose work will you choose?" Charlotte looked at him expectantly. But her gaze was blocked somewhat unintentionally.

"I've already made my answer very clear." Miss deliberately kept them guessing. He stood up and offered his hand towards Charlotte, who was very confused. "I hope you won't disappoint." "Yes." Charlotte nodded her head sweetly. As the three of them were left in the room, she grabbed Shane's sleeve tightly and said excitedly, "Thank you!" "I'm your husband, you don't have to thank me.

Shane's lips curled up into a doting smile which made Charlotte's face turn red.

"I'll leave now. I won't disturb you." Braden shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

In reality, he was in awe of Charlotte's ability. However, it would make his job more interesting to have a worthy competitor.
