Chapter 106 Honeytrap
In the afternoon, after Shane came back, he saw Charlotte sitting alone in the office with a blank expression. He told Zoe not to inform Charlotte that he was back.
By the time Charlotte came back to her senses, Shane’s meeting had already begun. It was already impossible for her to enter the conference room.
Charlotte was the only one left in the office.
“Hello, what’s the finding?”
When the phone rang, Charlotte instantly pressed the answer button. Her heart was directly raised, as if there was a hint of fear and faint hope in her heart.
“Okay, I see.”
The office once again returned to silence, and Charlotte slowly looked outside the window.
Ever since she left the Emerson Corporation, Charlotte had started secretly investigating the events of the past.
But she didn’t find anything.
Perhaps only Shane could help her investigate this matter clearly…
After work, Charlotte suddenly popped her head out of her office and secretly stood outside the president’s office when she didn’t see anyone else.
However, she didn’t know that she was caught on camera by the CCTV. As he watched the live footage, Shane gave a faint smile and crossed his long legs.
What an interesting woman!
“Mr. Fuller.”
Charlotte looked at the man in front of her. The look in his eyes seemed like he was looking at a prey, which made her uneasy.
“Mr. Fuller?”
Shane’s thin lips curved down. He seemed slightly displeased.
“Mr. Fuller, this is the company. We should be professional.”
Charlotte bit her thin lips and forced herself to look into those sharp amber eyes.
If one were to take a closer look, Charlotte would realize that the man in front of her indeed resembled Sheryl.
After a few seconds, she suddenly shook her head. How could it be possible that Shane was the man from five years ago?
Elaine would never set her up with such an outstanding man…
On that night five years ago, no matter how she cried and pleaded, the man still did not let go of her.
“What are you thinking about?”
Shane looked at the woman in front of him, who was zoning out With a wide stride, he approached her and stood less than a foot away from her.
His overpowering aura and warm breaths overwhelmed Charlotte, making her stumble back subconsciously.
When she thought of the reason why she had come, Charlotte clenched her fists slightly, as if she had made an important decision. She suddenly moved closer to the regal man.
‘You can do it, can’t do it, Charlotte!’ She told herself.
“Mr. Fuller…”
Charlotte leaned in. Her face was only a few centimeters away from Shane’s chest.
She heard from Cole that Shane didn’t like to be touched. What he hated most was being approached by women with thick makeup. So, Charlotte only sprayed a little perfume on her body before leaving the house today.
Shane raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that the woman in front of him had something to ask of him, he did not expose her plan.
Shane thought that the faint perfume scent of the woman in his arms smelled good.
Charlotte sensed a pair of big hands at her waist, and her body was pulled closer to his.
“Might I ask what Mrs. Fuller is up to by pulling a honeytrap on me?”
Shane said in a playful tone. His eyes suddenly fixed on her cleavage, and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down involuntarily.
“I’d like to investigate a matter. I wonder if my title as your wife will be of any use?”
Following the instructions that she had read on the seduction community forum, Charlotte smiled as she asked Shane that.
The hands hanging on both sides of her body gradually moved upwards. Charlotte had already prepared herself to give herself to Shane, but in the next moment, she was pushed away with great force.
“Charlotte, do you know that you’re playing with fire?”
Shane deliberately suppressed his anger and his eyes were filled with lust. His erection was subsiding. He then sat on the chair in a slightly embarrassed manner and looked coldly at the frowning woman in front of him.
At this moment, Charlotte didn’t listen to Shane’s words. She was just thinking that the things she read online were all untrue!
“I…”
“Get to the point.”
Shane’s voice was slightly husky as he forced himself to hold back his urges.
“I want you to help me investigate some people in my mother’s life around the time she died, including Timothy.”
Charlotte spoke very fast. She had completely forgotten the script that she had prepared earlier on.
“All right.”
Shane agreed readily. Seeing the woman still standing in front of him, he asked impatiently, “You’re not going to leave?”
“Uh, I’ll leave right now.”
As she walked out of the office, Charlotte still found it hard to believe that she could ask for the man’s help in one piece. When she thought of what had just happened, her face instantly turned red.
‘If I had known that it would be so easy, I wouldn’t do that sh*t,’ she thought.
After returning to the office, Charlotte immediately deleted her account on the forum site and couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s all bullsh*t…”
In the president’s office, Shane immediately went to a luxurious lounge that was separated from his working space.
‘What’s going on?’ he thought.
Shane frowned as he let the cold water run down his body. He had always been able to control his desire very well, but when it came to Charlotte, it was as if his body was out of control.
…
After coming back from work, Charlotte irritably rummaged around in her bag. Finally, she fished out a bunch of keys.
As soon as it was inserted into the keyhole, the door was opened from the inside. Charlotte looked into the house with a vigilant expression.
“What are you looking at?”
Anne suddenly showed up with a charcoal mask on her face, and she asked in a lisp.
“You didn’t go out?” Charlotte asked.
“I just got back.”
Anne turned around and continued to sit on the sofa. She casually switched to another TV channel.
Charlotte sat next to Anne, put the backpack on her shoulder aside, and said word by word with her hand holding her chin, “Anne, I… I pulled a honeytrap on Shane today.”
Pooh!
The water that Anne had just drunk was spat out. She looked at the listless Charlotte beside her with widened eyes. Then, she ripped off the mask on her face and excitedly pulled at her friend’s sleeve.
“Lottie, you’ve grown up! Hurry up and tell me the details. What’s going on? Did you succeed?”
Seeing Charlotte shaking her head, Anne suddenly lost interest.
“I shouldn’t have read trash on the Internet. Honeytrap? I’m regretting it now. If I knew it would be so easy, why would I still have to do it?”
Charlotte looked as if she was regretting her actions. She grabbed her hair and let out a long sigh.
“What do you mean?”
Anne was even more confused.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“I’ve been collecting intel about the death of my mother for days. I don’t believe that it was an accident.”
Looking at the seriousness in Charlotte’s eyes, Anne suddenly asked nervously, “Lottie, do you suspect that Elaine did this?”
“Un, that good father of mine might even be part of it, right?” The corners of Charlotte’s lips curled up slightly. However, there wasn’t a hint of glee on her face. She quickly said, “Anne, I’m very conflicted right now…”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. Maybe it won’t be as bad as you think.” Anne could only comfort her.
She refused to believe that the truth was as she had guessed. If so, then the kind woman in front of her would definitely fall apart.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”
Charlotte turned away with a faint smile on her face. But when Anne saw that, her heart ached even more.
Anne suddenly thought of something and immediately looked at Charlotte, squinting her eyes suspiciously.
“Lottie, has Shane and Sheryl’s paternity test result come out?”
“I forgot to do the test.”
Charlotte shook her head helplessly, which made Anne so angry that she almost went crazy.
She really wanted to pry open Charlotte’s head and find out what on earth her friend was thinking?
