Charlotte left the hotel and sat down at a nearby coffee shop. She looked through her notes again and again as she made some corrections.

Suddenly, a man appeared before her. She thought it was Avery so she didn't even raise her head and said, "I still have to look through some documents. You can go back first, I'll have my friend pick me up." "Is Rick picking you up?"

This voice didn't sound like Avery's.

Charlotte raised her head and was shocked for a moment. "Shane?"

"Let me treat you to dinner tonight. Consider it as a thank you for that day at the bar. Okay?" Shane leaned back against his chair and looked at her.

"We..." Charlotte muttered.

"Although you no longer have feelings for me, I still feel indebted towards you. I will leave you alone after I pay you back."

Charlotte pursed her lips and explained in a low voice, "I didn't do it for you. I just felt it was dangerous for Anne, a girl, to go alone that night."

"However, you've also indirectly helped me by that."

That seemed to be true.

Charlotte immediately froze. She fiddled with her fingers hesitantly as she stared at the table blankly.

"If that's the case, then I wouldn't want to waste your time. You can just tell me what you want to say at dinner now."

"Dinner is not a waste of time."

"You clearly want to help me obtain a seat in the Airline Union. Why do you need to use dinner as an excuse?" Charlotte asked him with confusion.

Shane's thin lips curled and he leaned forward. "Alright. Miss Charlotte, may I have dinner with you?"

Charlotte didn't know what to say.

Did he mean his main purpose was to have dinner with her?

"I'm on a diet. I don't eat dinner." This reason seemed impeccable to Charlotte.

"I'll eat."

Shane's words made Charlotte speechless.

In the end, she helplessly went to a restaurant with him.

It was very quiet. Not another person was in sight.

Charlotte was a little scared, "Shane, why is there no one here? It feels so empty."
