Chapter 109
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Since the chip was recovered, Charlotteâs lie was able to come full circle.
It was as though a significant weight have been lifted from her shoulders. What she needed to do next, was to cut off all ties with Zachary and halt his pursuit.
That way, even if the childrenâs identity were revealed, it would be none of his business.
When she saw Zachary walking over with his men, Charlotte quickly took out her phone and called Gigolo In Debt. She wanted to show off her relationship to Zachary and anger him.
As she called the number, a phone rang in Zacharyâs direction.
Charlotte was stunned, and looked at him in confusion. Is this a coincidence? Orâ¦
Zachary kept his poker face going and quietly ended the call with his hand in the pocket.
However, he was actually panicking inside. Why is she calling that number right in front of me? Is she suspecting something?
âHello?â Ben, who knew what was going on, was quick to respond and took out his phone. âWhat is it?â
âYes, the chip has been recovered,â Ben continued.
At the moment, Charlotte heard her call being ended, but Ben was still on the phone and this lifted some of her suspicions.
Just a coincidence it seems. But why does Ben have the same ringtone as Gigolo In Debt? Are they the same person?
Charlotte locked her gaze at Ben and made a mental comparison, dismissing it immediately after.
Benâs shorter and their build is totally different. Itâs definitely not him.
However, she shifted her gaze over to Zachary and it matched her image of Gigolo In Debt. All their features were uncannily similar.
Zachary was entering the elevator at this point with two of his men with him.
Charlotte decided to redial the number. This time, she even got close to the elevator to see if she could hear anything. If it rings again, Zachary is definitely suspicious!
In the elevator, just as Zachary switched off the ringtone for his phone, a call came in.
He did not pick it up immediately. In fact, he waited for the elevator to descend a few more levels before he took the call.
âWhat are you doing? Why didnât you pick up just now?â Charlotte did not hear any ringing from the elevator and thought she was overthinking things again.
âWhatâs going on?â Zachary knew she was suspicious now.
âDidnât we have a deal? Youâre acting as my boyfriend right?â
âWhat do you want me to do?â Zachary asked.
âCome pick me up after work,â Charlotte paused. âGet me a rose bouquet as well. Iâll pay for it!â
Thereâs definitely something going on if he refuses.
âWhat if your boss attacks me?â Zachary asked intentionally.
âHe wonât. My bossâs an educated man, he wonât go around attacking people for no reason,â Charlotte answered. âI want you here so that he sees I have a boyfriend. For someone as prideful as him, seeing you would definitely make him give up.â
âAlright, Iâll be there after work, send me the location.â
âRight away.â
When she got off the call, Charlotte was excited. He actually agreed! That means heâs really not Zachary Nacht. Or maybe, itâs Zachary trying to throw me off!
In her mind, nothing could be proven unless Zachary and the gigolo met face to face.
âMr. Nacht, Ms. Windt seems to be on to you,â Ben reminded softly.
âChris is coming to H City, right?â Zachary asked out of the blue. âAsk him to come see me.â
âYesâ¦â Ben took out his phone, but was concerned. âMr. Chris and you look almost identical.
Impersonating you wonât be a problem, but you know, heâs kind of a playboy. What ifâ¦â
âHe wouldnât dare.â Zachary raised his eyebrows.
âUnderstood.â
