Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 29

"Who is it?" Yuliana groaned. Irritated, she turned around to find a woman with red, teary eyes and a leaky nose.

Immediately, Yuliana grimaced and backed away from the unkempt woman in disgust.

"Miss Yuliana, it’s me, Mr. Fuller's secretary," Jace clarified after releasing Yuliana' s sleeve.

"Secretary? Shane has so many secretaries. How would I know who you are?" Yuliana blurted impatiently.

After all, she was a well- known female anchor. It took more than just being an ordinary person to talk to her.

Jace noticed the aversion overflowing from Yuliana's eyes. Still hanging onto one last thread of hope, she continued unwaveringly, "Miss Yuliana, please talk to Mr. Fuller for me. Please don't let him fire me."

"How does that concern me? If you’ve been fired, then so be it." She glanced at Jace with disdain.

Truth be told, she hoped for Shane to fire all the female employees in the company. That way, no one would try to seduce Shane anymore.

"Miss Yuliana, please don't leave just yet. Aren't you curious as to why Mr. Fuller fired me?"

Receiving no attention from Yuliana, dace's heart sank. However, as soon as she recalled the scene she had witnessed earlier, she called out loudly.

Yuliana froze in her tracks as soon as dace finished her sentence.

Seeing this, dace was overjoyed. She scampered over quickly and caught up with Yuliana.

"It was because of Charlotte Emerson; she's the reason Mr. Fuller fired me. In fact, I was not the only victim. Many others were also fired because of her,” dace explained to Yuliana. She had overheard Yuliana and Charlotte’ s exchange from earlier, and although dace was not in the know about the exact details, she could easily tell that they were not in each other's good books.

Two words as simple as "Charlotte Emerson" seemingly set off a bomb in Yuliana's head.

Seeing how Yuliana reacted to the news, dace knew at once that she had played her cards right. "Miss Yuliana," she continued, "you must know that Charlotte seduced Mr. Fuller as soon as she entered the company. Everyone knows this. What's more, she was so slick with her tricks that she manipulated Mr. Fuller into firing the design manager so that she could take the position instead."

"Is this all true?" Yuliana couldn't believe her ears.

Throughout the years she had been by Shane' s side, Shane had never once fired anyone for her sake. 'What on earth has gotten into him since Charlotte stepped through these doors?' she grumbled.

"Miss Yuliana, you may..." Before Jace could finish her sentence, Yuliana stormed off furiously into the office building with clenched fists, leaving nothing but the clickety- clack of her heels echoing in her wake.

Jace watched Yuliana's figure disappear into the elevator and her lips curved into a sinister smirk.

She swore to herself that her dismissal from the company was not going to stop her from making life difficult for Charlotte.

Fuming, Yuliana alighted the elevator at the top floor. Before Cole could greet her, she shoved him aside and barged into the president's office.

"Sir, Miss Yuliana is here," Cole reported timidly behind her.

Before Yuliana’s obstreperous arrival, Shane was going through some documents. He put down his pen and raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping the room.

Foul wrath oozed from his eyes. Sensing what would soon follow, Cole tactfully left the room. However, Yuliana seemed too engulfed by anger to notice.

She stalked up to Shane and, with a loud thud, she flung her bag against his desk.

She then proceeded to interrogate Shane in a pressing tone, "Shane, there’s been a rumour going around the office saying that Charlotte has been seducing you and that you even promoted her to a managerial position. What is this about?"

"Shane, you must fire her. She's a total vamp!" she persevered.

The temperature in the room seemed to have suddenly plunged. Finally, he began to speak in a calm yet stern tone, "Since when did I need you to tell me how to run my company?"

The immense anger and coldness emanating from the man sent chills running down Yuliana’s spine. Thankfully, it also brought her back to her senses.

Despite being Shane's girlfriend, she had to bend over backward like a servant to please him. This unfair treatment simply made her feel wretched.

At that thought, tears welled up in her eyes.

She then said in a coquettish tone, "Shane, I didn't mean it in any other way. It's just that, you know, we've been together for so long, yet we've never talked about marriage. When are we getting married? Even my sister has the same question." From NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing Shane remain silent with the same cold expression plastered across his face, Yuliana bit her ruby lips and continued, "If you think it’s still too early to get married, we could perhaps just get

engaged for now."

"Is that all you have to say?" asked Shane.

"Yeah." Yuliana nodded in response.

"Get out."

His tone could not be more casual, yet it carried an indisputable dominance.
