Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 255

Heidi Allen.

Peter knew this name. After the incident with Tiffany, he had investigated Tiffany in order to help Shane and Charlotte as much as possible. He never expected them to have solved the problem already. He only learned Heidi's name through Tiffany.

With his information, there was also a very simple resume. Her parents were both pianists and theirs could be regarded as an artsy family. She had died in an accident, but the details of the accident could not be found.

"I'll investigate it as soon as possible," Peter answered.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"However, there is something that I'm not sure if I should mention."

Charlotte burst into laughter. "You're my employee, but you're also my friend. Just say it."

"I know that Heidi has a close relationship with Mr. Fuller. If you ask me to investigate her, I'm afraid that if Mr. Fuller knows, he will..." Peter didn't continue.

No matter what, it was still Charlotte who would make the final decision. He only told her his concerns.

Charlotte fell silent. It wasn't that she hadn't considered this issue before. It was just that she was more worried about Sheryl.

"I just want to know if she is alive or dead. If she is dead, then there is no need to worry. If she is alive... She is very important to Shane. If I can find her, it would also be good for Shane."

"I understand. You want some reassurance."

"Sort of. After all, I don't know much about this matter. I don't know why Shane is suddenly investigating this..."

If Shane hadn't said that Tiffany had killed Heidi, Charlotte wouldn't have been worried about Heidi at all.

She was...

Charlotte massaged her temples.

"If you really care so much, why don't you ask Mr. Fuller yourself?" Peter asked again.

"I think it's because I want to know the answer, but I'm also afraid of getting the answer. Peter, how about you just follow up on the Stevens family. I'll ask Shane about Heidi myself."

Peter nodded and smiled. "Okay."

Actually, Peter was right. Instead of letting Shane know that she was investigating him behind his back, it was better to ask him outright from the beginning.

Late at night.

Charlotte returned home.

There were some packages on the dining table. When she walked to the dining table, she smelled the aroma of food.

When she opened the boxes, she found several dishes, including the stir-fried shrimp and crispy pork that she liked.

Charlotte brought the boxes to the kitchen to warm up the food. After setting the timer, she walked over to the study and lightly knocked on the door.

There was no response from within.

Was Shane not in the study?

Charlotte was confused as she left the study and returned to the kitchen.

The open kitchen had tables, chairs, and a huge marble dining table in the kitchen, which could meet the needs of eating and looking at documents at the same time.

Charlotte didn't wait for Shane to eat. After

Charlotte finished eating her meal and reading her documents, she took out her phone and sent Shane a message.

Charlotte: Aren't you at home?

Several minutes later, the door of the study opened.

Shane, wearing a wireless Bluetooth headset, went to the living room, put a stack of files in front of her and said, "My people found out that Peter is looking for information on the Stevens family. These could be useful to you."

As she looked at the documents in front of her, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.

How could Shane know about Peter's investigation? Did that mean that what Peter had said before was a warning to her?

Charlotte took a deep breath and calmed herself down. "Thank you."

"Why are you looking for me?" Shane thought that Charlotte must have another reason for looking for him since he saw that she had finished her meal but was still thinking about finding him.

"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if you were home since I thought you were but I didn't see you," explained Charlotte.

"Are you sure?" "Um, well. There is one thing. It's about Hei..."

"Do you have time on Saturday?"

Charlotte's words didn't leave her mouth. She nodded her head and said, "I'm pretty free nowadays."

Shane took out a ticket from his pocket like he was doing a magic trick. He handed it to her.

The time and place were both printed on the ticket. But was there only one?

Charlotte took it with suspicion. "It's for me only?"

"That's right."

She wanted to ask more about it, but it seemed that Shane didn't want to answer anymore, so she could only keep silent.

Saturday.

It was only a few days away. She would find out when the time came.

The ticket said that it was for a musical.

In addition, the location was a well-known church. Charlotte felt that she probably had to dress up to attend the event. Or, if not, she couldn't just wear a T-shirt and joggers.

Thus, after work on Friday, Charlotte made an appointment with Zoe to go shopping.

"The situation with the Stevens family is quite complicated. I heard that they also have a son named Caleb. He is very interested in Anne." Zoe reported her findings to Charlotte even as she was picking out clothes.

"What does Anne think about this?"

"Of course she rejected him," Zoe said with a smile, "Ryland is a well-known playboy."

"That's good. Braden can get very jealous."

"Now that you mention it, Braden was a playboy too. The Stevens family is better than the Collins family too. I don't know what Anne is thinking."

Zoe did not know Anne so well, so she spoke vaguely.

Charlotte was interested in a gown she found. She took the dress off the clothes rack and held it up against herself. She shook her head helplessly and said, "Anne is used to doing whatever she wants. With her brother Rick around, she can make as many mistakes as she wants."

"You're right." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"What about you? What are your thoughts? It looks like Peter..." Charlotte didn't continue.

"He's younger than me."

"Him being younger than you is nice. He can take care of you when you get old."

Zoe shook her head. "Guys mature slower than girls. I don't want to be taking care of a kid."

Charlotte didn't say much. After all, Zoe and Irena had an unexplained relationship. If she said yes to Peter, but was interested in Avery, that would be terrible.

Soon, Charlotte picked out a dress. Zoe also chose two similar dresses.

The store was a famous brand that had exorbitant prices. Zoe picked up the bill and asked, "Can you pay for it?"

"Of course, I'll pay for it all."

"It's so great to be a boss."

"Do your best. You might become a boss yourself later."

"No, I don't want to be the second Christopher."

At the mention of Christopher, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became grim.

Whenever Christopher was brought up, it made them both feel uncomfortable.

Under his leadership, NC Company was getting worse and worse. Although this kind of big company seemed to have a bright future, it could also collapse very quickly.

It was possible that it would be bankrupt in a few months.

"I really can't figure out Mr. Fuller. NC Company is his life's work..." Zoe stood next to the entrance to the subway station with her bags.

"He did it for me as well as for himself. Let's wait and see what happens next."

Zoe nodded. "Then I'll leave now."

"Let me send you home."

"The traffic in River City is terrible. Don't..." Zoe saw a familiar figure running over before her voice died away.

When he was not wearing a suit, he was full of vitality. He was young and energetic. Even if he looked ordinary, he still attracted people to him.

It was Peter.

Speak of the devil.

"Looks like someone's here to take you home," Charlotte teased.

"Ms. Emerson." Zoe was annoyed.

"Ms. Emerson, Ms. Watson, I saw you shopping when I was buying some computer stuff. What a coincidence." Peter frowned. "Can I treat you two to dinner?"

"Shane is already at home waiting. I have to go home for dinner." Charlotte gave an excuse and rushed off.

She escaped as quickly as the wind blew.

Zoe was speechless. "This Charlotte..." "I think it's good for Ms. Emerson to be like this.

She's a straightforward person when it comes to work, and she's the same way outside of work," Peter said.

"I also have food at my house, so..."

"Can I come to your house for a free meal? I'm really hungry."

Peter cracked a smile.

He had cute canine teeth.

Peter scratched the back of his head, showing his canine teeth. His eyes were narrowed as he smiled.

He was like a breath of fresh air.

Zoe couldn't react for a moment.
