Chapter 1025
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âMs. Lindberg.â At that moment, Morgan hurried over to report, âMarino did take Mr. Nacht back to Divine Corporation. I heard that a board meeting is being convened. Mr. Nacht even ordered all management staff to work overtime and if necessary, stay the night in the office. No matter what, they have to resolve the matter.â
âFrom the sound of it, there doesnât seem to be any problems.â Lupine looked at Charlotte warily.
âContinue to keep an eye on him and see if he is really staying over at the office,â Charlotte instructed. âWhenever itâs necessary, try and fish for some leads from Marino. Understood?â
Charlotte ended her sentence with a thoughtful tone.
âUnderstood.â Morgan nodded.
âOff you go.â Charlotte waved her away.
After both of them left, Charlotte leaned back on her white leather sofa. Looking at the documents in hand, she was in no mood to deal with them. All she could feel inside was confusion.
Recently, Zacharyâs behavior had impressed her. Compared to his ruthless and haughty self, he had now become understanding and considerate. He even got off his high horse and went out of his way for the sake of others.
The changes in his demeanor had caused her heart to waver.
Furthermore, she was moved by the fact that he had risked his life to protect her the night before.
Even if they canât be together, she still hoped that both families could let the past be water under the bridge. She didnât mind staying away from each other just like how it used to be. All she wanted was for there not to be any more bad blood.
At the very least, the children wouldnât be torn between both families.
However, she still couldnât tolerate the fact that Zachary had kept Zara hidden.
For the sake of the children, she was willing to look past what the Nacht family did to her. However, she couldnât forgive Zara and Sharon for humiliating her in T Nation. Most importantly, she had to exact revenge for the death of Mrs. Berry.
Those two matters were not up for negotiation as they were her red lines.
She hoped that Zachary wouldnât breach them, or else, she wouldnât spare him either.
As if he could sense something, Zachary sneezed in his Rolls-Royce. Covering his face, he furrowed his eyebrows and remarked, âCharlotte must be cursing at me right now.â
âYouâre right,â Marino replied warily. âMorgan is checking on our movements. I suppose Ms. Lindberg is feeling suspicious.â
âGiven how smart she is, itâs reasonable for her to be suspicious,â Zachary plainly remarked, âlet alone she has two spies.â
âIâm not a spy. Iâm loyal to you.â Marino declared his loyalty at once.
âDonât worry about it. Your girlfriend comes first.â Zachary replied thoughtfully, âIf she asks you anything, just tell her the truth.â
âI dare not.â Marino quickly explained, âI have never leaked anything related to you, I swear.â
âIâm telling you to tell her as it is, do you understand me?â Zachary furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure. âWhat a dumb*ss.â
âHuh?â Marino was baffled.
âMr. Nacht is indeed dealing with something in the office. If she asks, you can just tell her whatâs going on in the office. Other than that, you donât know anything else. Do you understand?â Bruce explained.
âUnderstood.â Marino nodded in acknowledgment.
When a subordinate opened the door from the outside, Zachary got out of the car. Striding into the elevator, he took it right up to the sixty-eight floor.
The moment they entered the elevator, Benâs phone rang. âMr. Nacht, we have confirmation that Ms. Nacht is with Mr. Henry.â
Zacharyâs expression drastically changed at the news. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, âDamn it!â
âCalm down, Mr. Nacht.â Ben reassured, âIâm still keeping an eye on them. Spencer is still arranging for a private jet. They look as if they are trying to smuggle Ms. Nacht out of H City. What should I do now?â
âThey wonât dare make a move now. No matter what, they will wait till itâs dark.â Zachary furrowed his eyebrows.
âContinue watching them and wait for my instructions.â
âYes.â
