Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 397

When Peter and Zoe reached the company, Charlotte just happened to be looking for the two of them. She noticed that Zoe's eyes were swollen, so she immediately walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong? Did Peter bully you?"

Zoe shook her head and lowered her head in silence. It seemed like she was frightened by Caleb. Peter had no choice but to ask, "Ms. Emerson, in your opinion, am I just a bad person who only knows how to bully Zoe?"

"She went out with you but came back with a somber expression. What should I expect?"

Peter looked at the passersby and said, "It's a little complicated. Let's go inside and talk about it." A lot of things should not be heard by others. It was not like anything would happen if they heard it because they wouldn't even understand it if they heard it. If they spread what they heard without understanding it, it would be hard for them to deal with it.

Charlotte realized that things might be a little serious, so she nodded to Peter and turned around to ask Zoe, "What about you? Do you want to join us or return to the office first?"

"I'll go back first," Zoe said.

"How about this? You can help me translate this document. The sooner you get it done, the better. It would be best if you could send it to me before you clock off." Charlotte handed the document in her hand to Zoe and instructed, "Translate them into Chinese and Arabic. I don't know Arabic, so you better prepare the Arabic translation first. We have to send it to the Middle East as soon as possible."

"Okay. I understand." Zoe took the document, suddenly filled with motivation.

As he watched Zoe walk away, Peter sighed and said, " At first, I was still thinking about how to comfort her for the rest of the day. I didn't expect that she would immediately feel better after Ms. Emerson handed her a document."

"Zoe is always dedicated like that." Charlotte smiled and said, "Next time, you can prepare some questions. It doesn't matter if they're related to the company or not. Give her instructions in the name of Shane or me, and she will definitely speak to you immediately."

"I got it," said Peter as he lowered his head. "I don't know her well enough. I..."

"You don't need to know her well enough. If you can understand her perfectly on your own, what's the purpose of her friends, bosses, staff, and companions?"

Peter was stunned. This time, he bowed respectfully and said, "Ms. Emerson, I understand now."

Charlotte patted him on the shoulder and said, "Back then, I couldn't understand either. But being together with Shane for a long time, I realized that I had to learn his way of doing things. Maybe it won't be effective, but at least we don't have to worry about making mistakes."

"I understand."

They arrived at Charlotte's office.

After Peter confessed everything to Charlotte and Shane, the two of them exchanged a glance. Then, Shane stood up and left the office.

Peter scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Where is Mr. Fuller going?"

"To look for Caleb."

"What?"

"Is it strange? We've already cooperated with Caleb, but he attacked Shane's employee. Don't you think we should look for him?"

Peter honestly hadn't thought of that. He thought that he would be able to fight Caleb or even kill him on his own.

He didn't expect that Shane could help him solve the problem. Or maybe, he just didn't want to trouble Mr. Fuller.

"I didn't want to bother you two at first, and I also thought that the problem has been solved..."

"The problem has indeed been solved, and you have also solved it very well. However, Shane and I must take a stand too." Charlotte was very serious. "Peter, I hope that when you face this kind of problem again in the future, you can inform us immediately."

"I understand, Ms. Emerson."

Charlotte nodded.

At that moment, Shane returned. He picked up his suit and said, "Caleb invited us to dinner. Please inform Rick and Kendall and ask Braden to bring Anne along."

Charlotte stood up and asked, "What about Peter and Zoe?"

"They have to come too."

"But to let Zoe see Caleb again..."

"She's going to feel worse if she keeps holding in her emotions."

"Okay, I understand."

Peter didn't know how the whole thing became known to everybody. It was obviously better for both sides to discuss it in private.

But he trusted Charlotte and Shane.

He was willing to go with them.

Zoe happened to knock on the door at that moment. She had finished translating the document assigned by Charlotte earlier. Charlotte was surprised and said, "So fast? Zoe, I don't want you to help Peter anymore. Come back to my office. I feel like dying every time I translate. It will be much easier with you by my side. Why don't you transfer back to my office from Peter's department? I don't have any other assistants and secretaries anyways."

Before Zoe could answer, Peter grabbed Zoe's hand and pulled her behind him. "I disagree. Unless you're dating Zoe, or I won't let you have her."

"Peter," Shane spoke calmly. The warning in his voice was extremely evident.

"Mr. Fuller, even if you have to fire me, I won't agree to this matter!" Peter lifted his chin in determination. "I won't be able to see my girlfriend at work if I let her transfer. Think about it. You and Ms. Emerson won't be able to be alone together if Zoe starts working in your office."

The reason Shane called him by his name was to suggest that this kind of decision concerned work efficiency and had nothing to do with relationships.

Normally, everyone could joke around with each other. But when it came to this kind of thing, work and company were their priority. Using jokes between friends to reply to Charlotte was equivalent to violating the rules of the company.

However, Peter's argument was reasonable. After all, work was not only just work. It was also related to life.

Shane slightly tugged the corner of his lips and said, "Well then, forget about it. We'll ask Zoe to come over only when we need her."

Charlotte smiled with a smirk and said, "Shane, can't you see that I'm joking with Peter? If it's really for the company, I would have found a translator by myself, okay?"

Shane instantly fell silent.

Peter immediately burst into laughter. "Mr. Fuller, I've worked with you for such a long time, and this is the first time I've seen you acting so cute. It's so great that you're with Ms. Emerson."

So great.

Zoe thought that it was really great too.

Whether it was Charlotte and Shane, or herself and Peter.

Actually, everyone was only a small boat in a sea of people. So, to have found someone who understood you was indeed a lucky thing.

When Rick received the news that Caleb had invited Shane to dinner, he was dumbfounded.

He leaned over and said, "Kendall."

Kendall, who was gaming, suddenly stuck her head out and looked at him innocently. "I didn't scold anyone while gaming today."

Rick was speechless. He got up and sat down beside her. He realized that she was playing a mobile game, and she was in a team with someone. The person who was teaming up with her was even a man.

He frowned. "Who is this?"

"Oh. It's Olive."

"What?" Rick thought there was something wrong with his hearing.

"Olive from Avery's house! Sometimes it's Sheryl. Being a couple in this game has a lot of benefits, so we got married. By the way, we can talk to each other through voice chats. Hello, is Olive there?" Kendall turned on the mic in the game.

After hearing a series of rustles from the other side, a childish but calm voice rang out, "Yes, Kendall. Come and have dinner with me in a while. Our intimacy level will become No.1 in the whole server."

"Okay," Kendall replied happily. "The main thing is that Rick wants to know who I'm gaming with." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Olive was quiet for a while and said, "Rick, are you jealous of me? Don't worry. I just like being the Mage, but there are no female Mages, so I could only choose to be a male Mage."

What else could Rick say?

He really didn't expect that a kid would know how to play mobile games. She was even as good as Kendall.

After all, if she weren't good at it, Kendall would not have played with her.

Although Kendall wasn't that arrogant in front of Rick, her temper remained the same. She would actually scold noob players.
