"I'm at the company."

Charlotte shrugged her shoulders helplessly and quickly continued, "I was working overtime alone. Now all the doors are locked and I can't get out."

"Did you call Shane?"

Anne asked in confusion with a blank look on her face.

She had heard from Braden that Shane actually had genuine feelings for Charlotte. It was possible they might be sparks between them if they spent more time together.

"He did not answer his phone."

Charlotte told the truthful. She had no intention to hide it.

"Wait for me there. I'll be right there."

Anne hung up the phone and dragged a confused Braden to the Emerson Corporation.

Ten minutes later...

"Open the door!"

Anne panted heavily with her hands on her hips as she pointed at the closed doors.

"Lottie, you're finally out."

Charlotte stood there with a puzzled expression as the door opened. Anne immediately bent forward to pull her out, then anxiously asked her, "Why only you alone need to work overtime? What about others? Are you stupid?"

"What's wrong?"

Charlotte looked at the two people standing before her.

"How can you finish your work in a day? Besides, you're a shareholder of the company."

After the security guard opened the door of the building, he couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "Didn't they say the whole building is empty tonight? Why is there still someone?"

His voice was soft but anyone around could hear him clearly.

"Stop right there."

Anne suddenly yelled and walked towards the security guard. "What did you say?" She asked doubtfully.

"It's nothing."

The security guard shook his head and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute. Who told you that this building was empty tonight?"

Charlotte suddenly walked over, her gaze was ice cold.

If she was right, there was more to this matter.
