Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 344

Charlotte had only rested for a while when the phone beside her rang. She woke up and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Are you okay?" Anne's voice rang out from the other side. She sounded very anxious. "I just finished moving in with Braden, and I saw your news on the Internet. What's going on?"

"It's over already." Charlotte didn't feel like explaining too much. She just wanted to have a good rest.

Anne was her best friend and the person who knew her best. So, she immediately stopped asking and just said, "I'll give you the address later. You can come with Mr. Fuller. Didn't you say that you wanted to bring someone to meet me? You should bring them over too."

The person she said she wanted to bring was Zoe. But such a big thing happened today, so it was impossible for Zoe to leave the company. Judging from this point, she and Peter probably had something else to work on. Charlotte answered, "All right. Send me the address and time."

"Okay."

After the call ended, Charlotte directly called Zoe

without even wanting to open her eyes.

Zoe was a little excited when she heard that she was going to meet Anne. After all, she had only heard about her and never seen her before. Besides, she was honestly too tired to prepare dinner today. So without asking Peter, Zoe agreed to this matter.

When she told Peter about it, Peter was surprised. "Today?"

"Do you have something else to do?" Zoe asked, "If so, I'll tell Ms. Emerson that we're not going anymore."

Peter really didn't have other things to do. It was just that today was his birthday. However, very few people knew about it. He didn't tell Zoe about it either. The reason was that he didn't want her to take this matter too seriously and then mess up her routine.

Peter thought for a while and shook his head. "There's nothing else. Let's go together. I don't know which restaurant they'll choose, but I feel like eating steak today."

"Ms. Emerson and her friend... would probably choose a normal hotel, right?" Zoe guessed.

The act of ordering a table of food at the hotel and then collecting the money according to the table was the simplest way to treat people to a meal.

Peter was slightly disappointed when he heard that but quickly replied with a smile, "The hotel isn't bad either."

He didn't actually think that hotels were good, but he trusted the tastes of Charlotte and Shane.

However.

The address that Charlotte gave them was actually a small restaurant that the two had never heard of. The reason why they called it a small restaurant was that the restaurant had a unique name—In the Black Forest.

This kind of name wasn't mainstream, and it was normally the name of some hipster cafe, so...

Perhaps they did serve steaks or something like that.

The appointed time soon arrived. Charlotte and Shane were the first to arrive at In the Black Forest.

The restaurant was built of black glass. Other than the black glass around them, there were only matte black columns. There was no other decoration except for the two ceiling lights near the front door. This minimalistic and odd decoration sent chills down people's spines.

The main reason was that these lights could only illuminate a small part of its shape, and the rest of it was completely enveloped in darkness.

Humans, who were shrouded in darkness...

Charlotte always felt that the things people hide were either extremely dangerous or extremely disgusting.

"Let's go in?" Shane looked at the person beside him.

Charlotte's leg became slightly wobbly, her stomach quivering.

She had always been great at dealing with companies that picked on her in the past. But in the face of these things that might have to do with gods and ghosts, she was not doing well at all.

"Okay..." her lips trembled as she whispered. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The two of them entered the restaurant.

The scenery inside was slightly better, but the color scheme was mainly dark colors. Black and gray occupied the entire space. Countless feathershaped lights seemed to float in the air, and the seats were Japanese tatamis. Therefore, they could tell that it was a Japanese restaurant.

A Japanese restaurant that wasn't decorated according to the Japanese style?

Charlotte was surprised too. After she reported Anne's name, the waiter led the two of them into a private room.

As they walked inside, Charlotte was shocked to discover that there were actually a lot of people in this restaurant. Outside of the private rooms, there were people at every table. Furthermore, the private rooms were all illuminated. Thus, she was able to conclude that there were practically no empty seats here.

Unlike its dull exterior, the atmosphere inside was lively and elegant.

The decoration in the private room had completely changed. The main colors were brown and dark green. Therefore, although it still looked dim, it gave off a warmer feeling compared to the outside.

The waiter turned on the air conditioner and lights and handed them the menu with a smile. "We do individual orders here. The two set meals are 2100 and 3500 set meals. You can choose the menu you want according to your liking."

"We have six people in total, and all of us choose the 3500 set meal." Charlotte pointed at the menu as she spoke. "Do I order now?"

"You can also use your phone to order. The QR code is here."

The process of waiting was a little painful. Moreover, it was an individual order, so the proportion was smaller. Therefore, Charlotte and Shane immediately began to order. The others hadn't reached anyways. They could eat first. It wouldn't be considered as impolite.

This dining method was quite good.

Zoe and Peter came next. At first, they thought it would be something like a hotel. They didn't expect it to be a Japanese restaurant. Peter became more excited now. After all, he could order the steak that he wanted to eat now.

Soon, the food they ordered had arrived.

"What's wrong with Anne? She's not the kind of person who doesn't have a sense of time." Charlotte repeatedly looked at the clock, not knowing what to do.

"Do you want to call and ask her?" Zoe asked.

The idea of suspecting if others got hurt on the road wasn't the best, but she could at least help her in case that really happened.

Upon hearing that, Charlotte nodded and called Anne. A few seconds later, the people on the other side picked up. "We are coming soon. Please wait for a while. We'll be there in five or six minutes."

"Did you put on makeup today?" Charlotte teased and thought it was funny.

"No, let's talk about it later. It's about my brother and Kendall."

What's wrong with Rick and Kendall again?

Charlotte was curious, but she knew that Anne couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, so she didn't ask further questions.

When Anne and Braden came, both of them seemed a little tired. Not to mention the make-up, the outfit that Anne put on was very casual too. Even so, one could still notice her elegance.

Zoe took the initiative to greet Anne. From the faint calmness in Zoe's eyes, Anne saw that she had a very similar side to Charlotte. She suddenly felt good about the person in front of her.

Anne extended her hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Watson."

"Me too, Miss Jane." Zoe shook hands with her.

After the two released their hands, Zoe naturally walked to the opposite side with Peter and sat down. She gave the seat next to Charlotte to Anne.

This kind of thoughtful behavior undoubtedly left a better impression on Anne. Although Anne didn't say it out loud, she secretly had high hopes for Zoe.

"Let's talk about your things first. My brother and Kendall's matter isn't that urgent." Anne put her handbag aside and grabbed Braden's arm. The two leaned on each other sweetly.

Charlotte automatically ignored her show of affection and handed the electronic menu to her. "You can see what you want to eat first. As for the company's affairs, Zoe and Peter, you guys are relatively professional in this aspect. You guys can tell Anne about it."

Zoe and Peter were indeed professional in this aspect, and Peter was actually more professional. Therefore, it was Peter who led the conversation while Zoe assisted him.

After listening to a round of news, Anne only laughed bitterly and said, "Serve them right?"

This was an online slang.

It meant a person deserved the repercussions followed by what they had done.

Upon hearing this, Charlotte smiled and said, "That's right. It has really helped me earn quite a bit of popularity."

She actually didn't suffer too many losses in that case.

"I've finished talking about my things. What's wrong with Rick and Kendall?"

Charlotte asked.
