Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

'Lottie, is Shane Fuller the owner of NC Corp?' Anne's message read.

Once she hit send, Charlotte's phone beeped.

She clicked open the notification and read the message. Subconsciously, she looked up at Anne, only to catch her squinting uncannily at her. Charlotte's gaze returned to her phone and she typed a reply. 'Yes, he is. What's up?'

'Oh my God! I hope he didn't make things difficult for you. He... He was the one you fell on when you drank too much at the bar the other night.'

Charlotte's mind went blank as she read the message. Her eyes widened in shock as her memories came rushing back.

Before she was back in the right mind, she raised her head unknowingly and looked at Shane, who was sitting directly opposite her. 'No way!' she exclaimed in her heart.

It was her first time getting drunk, and on that first time, she had forced herself onto Shane.

At that same moment, Shane looked up and his eyes met Charlotte's.

Charlotte immediately felt guilt wash over her and she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid further eye contact.

She appeared somewhat adorable in this state of loss.
