Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 294

Seeing that she didn't speak, the driver reached out to turn on the radio and tuned it to the daily life channel. "Here, I'll let you listen to our weather forecast."

"Thank you, Mister." Charlotte came back to her senses.

The driver was very friendly. He even helped to carry her luggage when they arrived at the destination.

Charlotte waved at him as she pushed the trolley. The driver responded with a shy smile and left.

She, who had just arrived in this city, was warmed by that. Since the first person she met was already so amiable, the others shouldn't be that bad.

Soon, Charlotte arrived at the joint trading company. This company specialized in buying and selling animals around the world. They had many social channels international-wise but relatively fewer local- wise. That was why they needed people from the zoo to come over and pick up the animals.

Charlotte had already ordered her staff to arrange cars and people to help her. She only came here earlier to take a look at the animals.

All the little animals were imprisoned in cages.

The first group of animals was relatively small and energetic, including some precious Mini Lops and a few magnificent Atlantic canaries. They were all licensed by the country and allowed to be traded.

Charlotte looked from cages to cages. Moving back and forth, she was so happy that she didn't feel exhausted at all.

It was not until she was a little tired that she sat down on the sofa in the living room and picked up a glass of lemon water.

Standing on one side was the assistant from the joint company. When she saw her sit down, she immediately came up to her and said, "Ms. Emerson, Ms. Schneider heard that you came. She's on the way now. She said she wants to meet you no matter what, look..."

Charlotte was taken aback. "Ms. Schneider wants to see me?"

The assistant nodded. "Yes, I'm not sure if you have the time."

"I do have time, isn't Ms. Schneider known for never using her private time for business? If I remember correctly, she was called the female devil in the industry. She was smart, vicious, and sharp. She even had her own portrait in her mansion that's worth 50 million dollars." As she said this, Charlotte couldn't help but frown.

Curtis Schneider.

This name, which sounded like a man's name at first, was actually a well-known existence in the foreign business company.

She had seven to eight companies listed under her name, all of which were big enterprises.

The one that traded animals this time was one of them. And the others included clothes, catering and so on.

"Ms. Schneider said that if you are willing to wait for her, she'd like to go into the details with you personally." The assistant answered politely.

"Of course I would love to meet the devil." Charlotte couldn't help but laugh.

You couldn't meet the devil anytime you liked to.

The assistant smiled too and said, "You're the first one who dares to call Ms. Schneider like that. Maybe this is why she wants to meet you."

Really?

Whenever someone from the industry mentioned her, he or she always called her the devil.

However, Charlotte didn't know much about her. After all, she became a CEO in an incredibly short amount of time. Strictly speaking, Shane placed her in this position, so most of the things she knew were only superficial.

Maybe that was why she was able to call her by her nickname easily. After all, ignorants were fearless.

She waited for more than half an hour.

Charlotte actually didn't mind. Every hour of delay she spent here was paid by the devil anyway.

Squeak-

Charlotte, who was playing with the rabbit, stiffened her body. She moved her ears, but soon she turned her attention back to the rabbit in the cage.

The sound of high heels tapping on the floor traveled from far to near.

She could tell that although the owner of the heels was a female, she was steady and organized. Every step she took was just right. If she was not mistaken, she also walked like she was on the catwalk. If she listened carefully, she could hear a crisp sound of collision as she walked. Perhaps she was wearing some jewelry.

Charlotte still didn't turn around. She played with the rabbit. Her eyes turned into lines as she smiled.

"Ms. Emerson, Ms. Schneider is here." In the end, it was the assistant who broke the silence.

Only then did Charlotte stand up and look behind her.

The woman behind her was clad in a black coat. The diamond leather belt on her waist was modest but eye- catching. Black silk stockings wrapped around her slender legs, and a pair of black stilettos on her feet adorned her outfit.

Charlotte raised her gaze and saw a pair of eyes that were no different from Shane's. Those eyes seemed to capture millions of universes.

Her black hair was coiled up high, and her back was straight. She looked at her with a slight smile.

Charlotte walked towards her and sat down in front of her. "The devil really lives up to her name." "You're more shrewd than I thought." Curtis crooked her finger, and the person next to her immediately served her a cup of coffee. She took a sip and placed it on the coffee table. At the same time, her gaze swept across Charlotte's face.

Charlotte's gaze landed on the furthest point of her parallel vision. She didn't look at her for a second time.

Curtis rubbed her wrist as the corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile. "You're also able to keep your composure better than I thought."

"I'm guessing that you're waiting for me to ask you why you wanted to meet me." "True, I'm waiting. But when you put it this way, I don't see the fun of winning at all."

"Winning or losing is meaningless. I prefer the feeling of coming face to face with my rival. I don't like flattery."

"You don't need to flatter me either. To Shane, I'm just an old woman who doesn't even have the right to have dinner with him after all."

So, it was about Shane.

All of a sudden, Charlotte's interest was piqued. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do the devil and the other devil like each other?"

"Are you mocking me?" Curtis's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"No, I just figured that the devil might like the little white rabbit. For example, a rabbit like me, whose vitality is relatively strong and not afraid of the devil at all. I even worship the devil." Charlotte slightly lifted her chin to face her cold gaze.

Curtis was indeed a devil. Her gaze was so frigid that it made her uncomfortable all over.

This woman was as scary as Shane. Her charisma wasn't weaker than Shane's, but the devil couldn't be considered as good-looking.

Her face was too long, the corners of her eyes too ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

lengthy, and the red on her lips were too bright. No matter how you looked at her, she looked like a vicious antagonist from a movie.

"You mean, I should go look for a gigolo?"

"Of course not. Just like how I have the right to sit in front of you, there's naturally a large group of people who have the right to sit in front of Shane but don't have the qualities to compare to him,"

Charlotte replied.

Curtis suddenly burst into laughter.

Charlotte didn't expect that she would suddenly change her attitude. She also didn't expect that when she smiled, her eyes would look bigger, and her lips would become thinner. She looked gentle and sweet but seductive in her own way.

But soon, Curtis put on her poker face to face Charlotte once again.

This was the second person who liked to act dumb.

Charlotte couldn't help but place her and Avery side by side and compare the both of them in her mind.

Avery used his gentle exterior to hide the determination and coldness in his heart. Curtis, on the other hand, used her cold exterior to conceal her softness.

In fact, Avery was better than her.

Charlotte rubbed her temples and snapped back to reality. "Devil, your smile is too alluring."

"Little White Rabbit, I plan to move to River City to expand my business."

"Is this the strategy of a rival?" She put down her hand and looked at her with an innocent expression.

Curtis shook her head. "River City is the center of your country. My business has already reached a bottleneck here. Only by going to River City can I have more room for development. I partnered with a zoo from River City this time so that I can get to know a shipping company from River City."

"Why didn't you look for Shane?"

"Heh. After seeing how the two of you look like on the news, do you think I'm still going to look for him?" Curtis looked at her in disdain.

Charlotte was embarrassed for a moment and said, "Sorry, I didn't think about that."

"I don't hate you, but I don't really like you either. So I won't make things hard for you. If you need anything, you can just mention it. I definitely won't take the initiative to help you."

"Of course, devil." Charlotte beamed.

Curtis looked her deep into the eyes and slowly got up. The assistant next to her immediately scurried over to help her.

Just when Charlotte thought she could let out a sigh of relief, Curtis's voice rang out again-

"I am a devil, but you are not an innocent white rabbit, though I liked the way you presented yourself."

Charlotte's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Had she failed to break down her walls?
