I Have Never Been Your First Choice novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44

In the evening, Charlotte had just finished her work and was preparing to leave the office when Caroline appeared outside her office door and gently

knocked, “Dr. Sutton.”

Charlotte raised her head, her gaze calm, “Is there something wrong?”

The hospital is currently negotiating a construction project for a sleep medicine center. There is a dinner tonight with the government to discuss it. You should go.”

Caroline placed a document on her desk.

Charlotte glanced at the documents on the table and suddenly smiled, “Ms. Warren didn’t personally go to negotiate, but handed this project over to me?”

She entered the compartment carrying the documents, and several men inside the compartment coincidentally turned their gaze towards her.

Charlotte had several contacts with government officials, but obviously these people were not. She double–checked the phone information and the box number given, it was indeed here.

“Sorry, I went the wrong way.”

As she was about to turn and leave, a crew–cut man in a blue shirt stood in front of her, with a casual tone, “Hey, don’t rush off, beautiful. You’re in the right spot
