Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 199

"You won't win."

"No one knows that."

Rick sent Shane back home but he had no intention to leave.

Shane didn't invite him in but Rick entered the house on his own.

There were traces of Charlotte's life here everywhere. Some items she bought were even expired but Shane did not throw them away.

Rick saw that there was a candle on the table and there were many boxes of the same candles in the living room.

It was the same in the bathroom. There were still some unfinished shampoos but he had already prepared new ones.

Air fresheners, perfumes, towels...

They were exactly the same.

"Did you do this yourself?" Rick didn't find it romantic, he even thought Shane was out of his mind.

He was obsessed with Charlotte yet he still wanted to hurt her. What kind of a lunatic does that?

Shane walked into the study alone without paying any attention to Rick. Rick looked around outside and followed him into the study.

Shane made a cup of tea and sat before the computer as he looked at information on the Airline Union.

Rick sat down and stared at him quietly.

After a while.

Rick's phone rang.

He picked it up.

"We're already home," Charlotte said as she looked helplessly at Anne winking at her. "Um, when are you coming home? Anne wanted to know."

Rick didn't put the call on hands- free but Shane could hear because they were very close, Shane could hear Charlotte's voice.

"I just sent Shane home. He is so drunk that he needs someone to take care of him."

"Is it inconvenient for you? If not you can call the housekeeper."

"There's no need. I don't think Mr. Fuller would want anyone else to touch him."

"You're right. He is quite particular. You should come home earlier. Don't be late. We'll go to bed first."

"All right."

After he ended the call, he stood up.

Shane put down the document and looked at his back. "Did you follow me just to let me hear this phone call?"

"Mr. Fuller, I hope you understand, she has someone who cares for her and loves her. She also has her own family and career. So don't do anything immoral."

Immoral?

Shane's eyes turned cold and his face darkened.

The two of them lunged at each other.

They didn't know who was the first to attack.

Finally, Rick leaned against the wall panting hard. There was a trace of blood on his forehead.

Shane stood with his hands in his pockets as if he was a high and mighty lord.

Rick's clothes were a little ragged. He tidied up himself and wiped the blood away from his forehead. "I didn't expect you to like solving problems the violent way."

"I'm looking forward to the fight with you."

Rick walked away with a hand on his stomach. His body felt uncomfortable as he was kicked by Shane just now.

After Shane saw him off, he turned around and swept everything on the table onto the floor.

He released all his rage through his actions.

Everything turned into trash under his anger.

Rick...

If they go against each other and he won, he would obtain a huge price. But if he lost, there would be a heavy price to pay. However, according to the situation of the NC company and Jane Corporation, it's hard to say who would win or lose.

They were both stuck in a hard spot as both of them didn't want Charlotte to lose her status and right to speak.

If...

Rick didn't respond to his attack.

What would Charlotte think?

What would the public think?

Shane was holding back his anger. He can't say anything nor vent his anger.

He still owed Charlotte a mountain full of debt. It burdened him until he couldn't breathe and at the same time tormented his heart.

After Charlotte got out of bed, she played with Sheryl for some time. The kid was overjoyed when she saw her mommy, she kept whispering into Charlotte's ear.

By the time Charlotte left, Rick was still not home.

Initially, she wanted to ask him what happened with Shane but she remembered it was a sensitive topic for Rick so she decided not to ask.

After she returned to school, Charlotte put all her energy into her studies.

There was still a few days before her exam.

As a matter of fact.

Maybe she was smarter than others so she was able to ace the exam easily.

After the exam, it was already half a month later.

Now, she had the certificate and the knowledge. Avery personally picked Charlotte up from the university and sent her to the Airline Union's main building.

The chairman of the Airline Union was someone from Brine.

The Brine's development was much faster than River City. There were many top- tier techniques that still depended on Brine.

The vice president was from River City and was a genius scientist in technology. The country also gave him a lot of support. He was a very remarkable man.

At first, Charlotte was not interested in these affairs at all.

"The Vice President is Ashley Lincoln. Among the subordinates under his management, there is a person named Elaine Emerson. She is the Vice Secretary of the Airline Union. Above her is the vice Secretary, Christopher Gibson."

"Aren't you in charge of this project?" Charlotte felt dizzy.

If Avery was the director, why did they join too?

Avery flipped his hair and said, "I told you before, Shane was also a part of the project. He was the chairman. Strictly speaking, I work under him."

"What about me?"

"You are only a member now because Rick did not join this project, so..."

Charlotte nodded.

Just like in school or a company, if she wanted to succeed in the Airline Union, she would have to work very hard.

After completing the procedure, Charlotte received a certificate and a membership card.

With these two things, she could officially join the Airline Union and participate in all the activities.

Avery sent Charlotte back to Rick's Manor.

After Charlotte got off the car, Avery wound down the window and explained, "You have three days to prepare. After that we'll have our first meeting at the Swan Holiday Resort. There we'll discuss the route from River City to Brine." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Charlotte nodded, "Alright, I'll prepare all the materials."

"Everyone will be there."

"I know."

"You have always been asking me why I came to River City. If you are successfully promoted to the internal department, I'll tell you everything. How's that?" He smiled and touched the corner of his lips in a seductive manner.

Charlotte was silent at first. Then, she slowly nodded her head and agreed, "Alright."

Avery rolled up the window.

Charlotte turned around and walked into the company.

When she returned to the office, she had a strange feeling... as if she had been away for a long time.

But soon, after a few adjustments, she began to search for the information about the Airline Union route.

Although she got the certificate, she was an instant learner and only had theoretical knowledge. If she wanted to perfect herself, she had to put in more effort.

However, River City and Brine had two trading routes before. The first was during the modern war, the second was during the ancient plundering era so it was quite convenient for her to gather information.

She was busy working up until late night.

Charlotte yawned as she was about to get off work. It was already nine o'clock at night.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Rick stood at her door and asked, "Aren't you off work yet?"

"I'm planning to stay overnight at the company today," Charlotte answered helplessly as she waved the documents in her hands. "I still have a lot to do."

"Let me see." Rick walked to her side.

Airline Union Trading Route.

He knew about this.

Avery had been trying to involve him but he rejected as he thought it was pointless.

The route included sea and land but the Jane Corporation's air route was operated with other countries so they couldn't share it.

Besides, he was the only person who knew all the connections.

If then...

"It's a good thing you're there. You can see how other companies operate from the packaging to the delivering of the goods." Rick took a chair and sat down.

"Packaging is also a part of the technology?" Charlotte asked in confusion.

"Do you know how to transport the Brine's ice cubes to River City perfectly?"

Charlotte was quiet for a moment before she replied tentatively, "It's deep- freeze technique."

"Very smart. The deep- freeze technique is part of the packaging. The packaging and transportation are two separate departments. So the technology, microchips and materials used will be different."

Turns out it was quite a complicated matter.

Charlotte smiled bitterly, "But what does this have to do with International Business and economics?"

She felt that she got the certificate in vain.
