Chapter 1230
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âWell, itâs not exactly because of the kids.â Lupine chose her words carefully. âThe main reason is that the two of you have never really let go of each other.â
Charlotte fell silent upon hearing that. She did not want to admit it, but it seemed like she could no longer lie to herself.
As a matter of fact, Zachary still had an important place in her heart.
She could ignore her true feelings if she lived a single life. But whenever any man tried to get close to her, Zachary would appear in her mind, constantly reminding her that she was his woman.
When she recalled what might have happened between her and Louis, she felt utterly embarrassed. Regardless of how much she did not want to face it, she knew she probably had committed a mistake.
âSince thereâs no news yet, letâs just stop thinking about it. You should get some more rest in the meantime.â
Lupine tried to ease her worries. âAfter all, you can meet him the latest by six.â
âYeah.â Charlotte wanted to get some sleep. She had been losing sleep during the nights and she was feeling utterly weary at the moment.
âLet me help you to the bed.â Lupine supported Charlotte toward the bed.
Just then, Lupineâs phone rang. She glanced at the screen and answered the call right away. âHello, Gordon! Sheâs with me. Hold on.â
Lupine handed the phone to Charlotte.
âMs. Lindberg, Mr. Nacht is in Regium Hotel of the Royal Club now. It turns out that Mr. Murphy has booked the hotel. There will be a business meeting in the afternoon and a banquet at night.â
âI see.â
Charlotte suddenly realized how vague Louis had been the night before. He only told me that Mr. Murphy will meet Zachary at Regium Hotel. He didnât mention anything about a banquet⦠Maybe he didnât want me to know too much as he feared I might come to find Zachary.
âThe kids are staying in the villa area in the club too and are personally protected by Bruce. Iâve got the hotelâs blueprint, and Iâve found the location of the villa. If youâd like, I can send some men to get the kids now.â
âGood job. Gordon, youâre without a doubt Danriqueâs best assistant.â Charlotte was impressed. âBut please donât make a move. Let me try to deal with Zachary peacefully first. Thatâs the best for the kids.â
âI understand. Thatâs why Iâm not doing anything yet. Iâll wait for your instruction,â Gordon responded.
âPlease come back now. I need you to protect Danriqueâs kids.â Charlotte decided without hesitation. âIâll bring Lupine with me into the club. Iâll find a way to meet with Zachary.â
âOkay.â
Hanging up the phone, Charlotte turned to Lupine. âGather everyone and get ready to depart.â
âGot it.â Lupine went on to it.
When Charlotte was freshening up, Gordon got back and briefed her about the whole situation. Other than that, he also gave a few entrance tickets to Charlotte.
âMr. Murphy had booked the entire Royal Club, and no outsider is allowed to go in. Only those with this facial identification entrance ticket can go in. And Iâve gotten five tickets for you. The identifications are for Lupine, Morgan, and the rest. Thatâs the most I could do.â
âWow. Gordon, thatâs impressive.â Lupine was utterly amazed. âOnly you can do such a thing.â
âMr. Lindberg trained me well. Iâm used to taking care of all the details.â Gordon displayed a smile. âI suggest you guys wait for a while before you go in. The security will be stricter during the business meeting.
Youâll be made known the moment you enter. And if Mr. Nacht refuses to negotiate, it would look bad. If news gets out, it might affect Mr. Nachtâs and the Laurent familyâs reputation. For the evening banquet, you can enter at five oâclock. All the guests will be wearing grand retro outfits and masks. I donât know much about clothing, so youâll have to figure that out yourselves.â
