Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Charlotte Emerson of NC Corporation," Charlotte announced with a smile. "Our company's design concept is based around one word, that is, 'love'." "The design style of the building references Greek peristyle courtyards as a foundation and incorporates the modern minimalistic style that teenagers of today absolutely fancy..."

"Just a minute, Miss Charlotte. If I may ask, where is your design print?" interrupted one of the judges seated below the stage.

"My humblest apologies. Our designs are still in the making and we hope that the judges will allow us a little more time," replied Charlotte apologetically.

As soon as she finished speaking, the audience broke into an uproar.

It was common knowledge that NC Corp was currently a major player in the industry. To think that they would show up without a design print!

The few judges exchanged meaningful glances and hushed dialogues for a good while.

Finally, the judge from earlier conveyed the outcome of their decision to Charlotte. "Although the design you described earlier sounded marvelous, it's a pity for us to inform you that NC is disqualified from the bidding as per pre-set rules."

Even though Charlotte had already expected this, she was still slightly upset by the news. She had prayed that she could at least seize a second opportunity.

Following the judges' discussion, the results were announced. This time around, the winner of the bid was Emerson Corporation.
