Chapter 190: Personnel Transfer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Charlotte heard Cheyenne’s words, her eyes widened a bit in surprise. But she soon processed what she said and felt that it was indeed a good idea.

“I agree. But Cheyenne, do you still have enough money to buy a house for Mom?” Charlotte raised a very crucial question.

Cheyenne pursed her lips and said with a bitter smile, “I can’t afford to buy a house, but I can rent one for her for the time being. She has plenty of money on hand anyway. If she wants to buy a house, she can get one herself.”

Although she had been working for many years, she would basically hand over almost all of her salary to Karen each month. Except for some allowance, she didn’t have much money left.

Charlotte sneered silently and said, “Yeah, she’s holding both of our money. If she doesn’t like the rented house, she can buy one herself.”

Lucas looked at Cheyenne and said in a tender voice, “Cheyenne, you don’t have to do that. Like I said before, you are my wife, and your mother, too, is my mother. As long as she doesn’t hurt you and Amelia, I won’t mind it even if she says harsh things to me.”

“But… she’s always so mean to you. I really feel sorry to you.” Cheyenne hesitated as she felt aggrieved for Lucas.

Lucas smiled. “She’s a separate individual from you. You don’t need to feel sorry to me on her behalf. Besides, the most she can do is make harsh comments. She wouldn’t dare to hit me. I won’t stand to lose anything, and I’ll still be as tall and handsome as ever. What are you afraid of?”

Cheyenne blinked and finally realized that Lucas just cracked a joke. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter and glare at him jokingly. “How are you tall and handsome? You’re very thick-skinned. Hmph.”

She looked really lively and energetic!

Lucas was dazed by her smile, and he spaced out for a long time.

“Haha!”

It wasn’t until he heard another laughter that he returned to reality.

Charlotte covered her mouth and giggled. “Cheyenne, look. Lucas is mesmerized by you!”

Cheyenne’s pretty face flushed red, and she reached out to pinch Charlotte’s face. “You naughty girl! How dare you tease me? I’m going to deal with you!”

Charlotte hurriedly ran away while saying, “Okay, okay. I’m not going to play gooseberry! I’ll get going now. It’s time to go to work!”

She ran out of the villa. But when she turned around and saw Lucas and Cheyenne standing together, she somehow felt a great sense of envy rise within her.

Their relationship had unknowingly improved greatly at some point!

In the villa, Lucas kept staring at Cheyenne affectionately, unable to keep himself from smiling.

Feeling shy from the way he was looking at her, she glanced at him before asking gently, “What are you looking at?”

Lucas’s lips curled into a radiant smile as he said softly, “This is the first time you’ve smiled in front of me. You’re so beautiful when you smile!”

Cheyenne looked at Lucas’s smile and was a little stunned too.

Is he smiling so brightly and contentedly just because of a casual smile of mine?

Have I been that harsh to him that it’s the first time I’ve ever smiled at him?

Cheyenne thought about it carefully and realized that it really seemed to be the case.

Ever since Lucas returned, she had been resenting him. And later on, she started giving him the cold shoulder, merely treated him as a stranger who happened to be Amelia’s father.

Afterward, they encountered all sorts of incidents that involved the Carters and her career, all of which made her emotionally exhausted. But whenever she encountered trouble, Lucas would be by her side to encourage her, comfort her, and give her help time and time again. It also made her increasingly trusting toward him and reliant on him.

Now, she could smile sincerely in front of him.

In this instant, the ice sealing Cheyenne’s heart for a long time suddenly melted.

She once again looked at Lucas, and her lips arched into a gorgeous smile. “Silly.”

Seeing that Karen was cooping herself up in her room out of spite and refusing to come out, they knew that she was definitely not going to make lunch for them. So Cheyenne and Lucas decided to leave her alone and drove out to have lunch elsewhere.

After a pleasant lunch, Cheyenne asked Lucas to send her to the Brilliance Corporation for afternoon work.

Meanwhile, a serious meeting was taking place in the conference hall of the Stardust Corporation.

Everyone in Stardust Corporation knew that their mysterious chairman, whom they had never met, would never attend any of the company’s meetings, so the person in charge of the conferences was always Flynn Davis.

“Okay, that’s all for today’s report. All departments should continue to work hard according to the previous plan. Next, I would like to announce an important personnel transfer.”

After Davis finished, the people attending the meeting were suddenly riled up and all ears, waiting to hear the announcement with bated breath.

The fact that the general manager personally brought up the transfer meant that it was definitely not a trivial matter! Besides, nothing major happened within the Stardust Corporation lately, so they all guessed that it was probably a major promotion!

They wondered who the lucky one was.

Everyone looked excited and expectant.

At the center of attention, with everyone staring at him, Davis took out an appointment letter composedly and announced solemnly, “After the company’s careful observation and discussion, we have decided to appoint Charlotte Carter as the deputy general manager of the Stardust Corporation. She will be responsible for assisting the general manager in the daily management of the company!”

It caused a huge uproar!

Everyone broke into commotion and seemed to be in huge disbelief.

Some even asked in confusion, “Charlotte Carter? Who’s that? How did she suddenly become the deputy general manager of the company?”

It was no wonder that this person asked this. It had only been a little over a month since Charlotte joined the Stardust Corporation. Prior to this, she was just an employee holding an entry position in the business department and didn’t even have a managerial role. Given that there were thousands of employees in the Stardust Corporation, it was only normal for there to be many who didn’t know her name or who she was.

After hearing the announcement, Charlotte herself was extremely astonished as she widened her eyes in shock.

Although Davis had privately approached her before and said that he wanted to promote her, Charlotte knew that he only wanted to promote her through the back door for the sake of doing Lucas a personal favor. Thus, she resolutely declined Davis’s kind intentions and told him that she wanted to be promoted by virtue of her own abilities instead of personal connections.

But Davis now suddenly announced her promotion by several levels, from an entry role to the deputy general manager of the Stardust Corporation. This was a tremendous leap that even the word ‘leap’ seemed to be insufficient to describe it.

At this moment, someone suddenly stood up in the conference hall and said loudly, “Mr. Davis, I object to this personnel transfer!”
