Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 290

"I'm fine with that," Zoe answered. Technically, she was also willing to obey any of Charlotte's instructions.

"Nice, that's it then. I'll discuss this with the head of the park and the investors. This time, well go out and broaden our horizons. I heard that we can sit in the same car with a tiger."

"A car?" Zoe was confused.

She remembered that their company mainly focused on air freight. Within a month, the revenue for air delivery was about seven million dollars, whereas the revenue for land delivery was less than a million dollars. Usually, the revenue for land delivery was less than one-tenth of air delivery. However, because this month was a dull season, so the trading volume for air delivery was not high either.

"Yeah, although some animals are being transported from abroad, they mostly use land transportation and rarely air transportation."

"If we're in the same car as animals, will it smell..."

"I heard that there are special cleaners and disinfectant sprays. There shouldn't be too much of a problem," Charlotte said.

"Will there be pandas?"

Zoe still liked pandas?

Charlotte flipped through the booklet. Not only will there be pandas, but even alpacas and camels were also listed in the booklet. There were even some exotic species, such as red-crowned cranes and so on.

Upon hearing that, Zoe was thrilled. She couldn't wait to start following the car tomorrow.

After the call ended, Charlotte called Avery and told him about the current situation of Jane Corporation and Rick.

"Rick, this guy..." Avery didn't know what to comment on this matter. He changed his position and leaned back in the chair, "I thought he was partnering with the Stevens Family, so I declined a batch of goods from him before this."

"Was it maple syrup?"

"Pancakes."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. Then, she broke into a fit of laughter and couldn't stop. She lay on the table for a long time before raising her head and said, "That means if I'm slightly unlucky, my goods will be rejected by you too?"

"No, I'll definitely investigate the background of the delivery company first," Avery said with a chuckle.

"That's true. I'm quite confident in how you manage things."

"You don't have to butter me up. I'll keep an eye on Rick's situation. Don't worry."

"I think I know Rick to a certain level, but I completely cannot understand what he's doing this time. That's why I'm not only observing and being vigilant, perhaps..." Charlotte didn't finish her sentence.

Avery understood and said, "I will take care of everything related to the Stevens Family."

"Alright."

After ending the call, Charlotte placed her phone on the table.

She flipped through the safari park's documents again. After confirming that there was no problem, she closed the file, turned on the computer, entered all the data into a Word file, and sent it to Zoe when she was done.

Wild tigers. She had only seen them in the zoo when she was a child. She was even watching them ten meters away.

She was kind of excited.

Soon, the safari park had assigned staff to contact them.

After all, the earlier the animals arrived at the park, the sooner they could open the park.

The head of the safari park took out a lot of certificates, and Charlotte checked them one by one. This might seem like a complicated procedure. But if they were lacking one document, it would be considered illegal to purchase and raise wild animals. Therefore, both parties could only examine every detail patiently.

After an entire hour had passed, Charlotte finally returned all of the certificates to the other party.

She bowed apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. It's the first time we're accepting orders from a zoo, so I wanted to do my best on formalities."

"I can understand." The head of the safari park immediately held both of her arms and said, "You don't have to be so polite, Ms. Emerson. We were only taking a chance when we chose your company. We didn't expect that we could actually cooperate with you."

"I'm flattered." Charlotte smiled. "Do you want me to introduce you to our team?"

"That's perfect."

Business procedures were very complicated. Soon, another hour had passed.

The head of the safari park was very satisfied with the scale of the company and the team. He immediately paid the deposit. Both sides then signed the contract.

This was a big business. If all the animals were safely transported, and they didn't suffer from losses, they could earn at least three million dollars. And that was only a conservative estimation.

Moreover, even if something happened to the animals, regardless if it was an accident or not, as long as the animals were not killed by people from her company, they could just go to the insurance company. In other words, although this was a serious business, it was actually not risky.

The preparatory work was scheduled for next Monday. They still have three more days to prepare.

After Charlotte had seen off the staff from the safari park, she dragged Zoe to the spa to relax.

"I think we're considered good friends now," Zoe said with a smile while lying on the massage table.

"We have always been." Charlotte sat beside the bed and placed her feet into the foot tub.

Zoe was getting the Swedish massage, which helps to relieve the back muscles and shoulder tendons. However, Charlotte didn't really like to lie down on beds from outside, so she only asked for a feet and head massage. These two massages could be done by sitting up, so there was no need for her to lie down.

"Avery called me this morning and said that he went to Jane Corporation to discuss cooperation with Rick. Is that your idea?"

"It was Shane's."

"I knew it had something to do with you two..." Zoe sighed.

Charlotte's focus was not on this matter but on the fact that Avery actually told Zoe about it.

She raised her eyebrows at Zoe and asked, "Avery or Peter?"

"Peter has become dingier recently. I... Wait, what do you mean Avery or Peter?" Zoe suddenly realized. Charlotte seemed to have tricked her.

"Avery was willing to tell you this, so don't say that your relationship with him is very ordinary."

"He said, he hopes that I can take Irena's place. He usually tells Irena everything he does so that even if something bad happened to him one day, someone would still know what to do," Zoe explained very seriously.

She didn't think that Avery liked her or wanted to date her. It was only because she looked like Irena.

And both she and Avery were clear about this point, so they didn't have any other feelings for each other.

Charlotte said softly, "I don't know much about your opinion on relationships. But if there's a chance, I still hope that you can get to know more people. Dating is beneficial to your mental health."

"I know, but I can't trust anyone other than you and Mr. Fuller."

"Weren't you very fond of Christopher back then?"

Everyone in the world knew that she liked him.

Zoe's eyes went blank for a few seconds, and then she said with a self-deprecating smile, "So you see how bad my taste is. It took me a lot of effort to muster the courage to like someone, but it turns out to be a mess."

"Christopher is not bad. He's full of schemes and competitiveness. He can even plot against Shane," Charlotte said.

"He's not a good person."

"Good and the bad are too absolute. There are many gray areas in this world. Just like how we helped the safari park to purchase animals. Even though we know that those animals will suffer and be imprisoned in iron cages, we still chose to do that for the sake of our reputation and money." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Zoe instantly didn't know how to answer. She only let out a deep sigh.

However, the lady who was helping Zoe to massage her shoulders said, "Back then, there was a really nice person in our neighborhood. My mother said that he was always helping out the poor. But one day, he was sent to jail. Up until today, some people from our neighborhood are still writing petition letters and sending him things through the envelopes. But there's nothing we could do about it because he had already broken the law."

"Exactly." Charlotte agreed. "The boundaries between good and bad are often blurry, but the boundaries between legal and illegal are always crystal clear."

"I don't understand." The lady blushed and said, "I just think that both of you look pretty nice. So, even if the person you like is bad, he should be a kind-hearted person."

Even if he was bad, he was still a kind-hearted person.

Zoe instantly felt that this was the perfect sentence to describe Christopher.

When she was about to have a further discussion with Charlotte, she heard the ringing of a phone.

If it wasn't hers, then it should be Charlotte's.

Charlotte reached out and picked up the phone from the cabinet next to the bed. She placed it to her ear and said, "Hello? What? I know. Okay, I'll come over right away."

Her tone was filled with panic.

"What's wrong?" Zoe asked.
