Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"We'll talk about it later." Shane didn't give a definite answer.

Charlotte didn't mention it again.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Home? I still haven't finished my work."

"That sounds perfect."

That Saturday afternoon and night were the same as the countless days in the past. Apart from reading files, Charlotte also went through learning materials.

After Charlotte took off her dress and put on her pajamas, she became a veritable workaholic. As she looked at the information in a daze, she wondered how she, a particularly lazy person, had become more and more of a workaholic.

Perhaps it was because Shane was a workaholic.

Whenever she saw him, he was working. He was either reading files, attending a meeting, or socializing with clients.

By eight o'clock in the evening, Charlotte couldn't help yawning. She dragged herself to the kitchen to make coffee. Shane also came out with his coffee cup.

The two looked into each other's eyes, but Charlotte looked away with some embarrassment, "Do you want some coffee too? Let me make you some."

"Thanks." He put the coffee cup on the table. "I noticed that you are investigating the Stevens family."

"Yes, but a lot of information is too hard to obtain, so I went to see Avery. He went abroad to search for information today, and I will go see him when he comes back the day after tomorrow." "Let's go together?"

"Sure, if you have time. Avery didn't sound very happy. It seems that he has a conflict with the Stevens family. Do you know about this?"

Shane shook his head. He did not know Avery very well.

Charlotte picked up the coffee pot and poured the coffee into Shane's cup. The coffee was steaming, and the air warmed a little.

"I never heard him saying anything about it before. I'll ask him about it when he comes back."

"Alright." Shane picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip, but he did not leave.

For some reason, Charlotte was rather fond of the current atmosphere. She did not bring the coffee away with her. Instead, she sat in front of him and looked at him with her head propped up. She really had to admit that he was really good-looking and he was just her type.

Shane could sense that she was looking at him. He didn't say a word, but allowed her to do so.

Until Charlotte's phone rang.

Shane lifted his head and glanced at her.

She looked away and put on a charming smile. "Sorry, I need to take this."

Shane watched her duck into a corner to answer the phone.
