Chapter 1312
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âJust think of it as a personal favor. We can compensate her for her help later, right?â Lupine suggested.
âRaina owns many hospitals, and sheâs the Nacht familyâs private doctor. She isnât in need of money,â Charlotte revealed. After pondering about it, she added, âI know her well. She wouldâve done that if it was conceivable. Iâm afraid that the doctor is quite hard to please. Find out about that doctor, and weâll ask for his help personally.â
âGot it.â Lupine immediately worked on it.
âMs. Lindberg, where are we heading now?â Jade, who was driving, asked.
âHead back home for now.â Charlotte glanced at her watch and realized it was past four in the afternoon. âHow is the packing going?â
âMorgan and Emma brought the kids back to H City. Everything in the villa had been packed and moved out. All thereâs left is the plants and goldfish,â Jade reported.
âLetâs go back and take a look.â
Charlotte wanted to retrieve the photos full of her memories.
âYes.â
Back in the empty white villa at Yaleview, there was a desolate vibe about the vacant space.
The weather was cloudy today without any trace of sunlight in sight, but the tree outside the door stood tall and beautiful.
There were leaves all over the ground, and some had dropped into the pond. The fish were chasing the leaves around playfully.
âMorgan is in a hurry, huh?â Lupine alighted from the car and joked, âShe must be racing back to see Marino. I canât believe she left with the kids without waiting for us.â
Jade burst into laughter. âYeah, the lovebirds canât bear to be apart. Thatâs great.â
âFind something to fit the fish. We shall bring them with us,â ordered Charlotte.
She didnât want to leave the fish to fend for themselves, for theyâd surely die of starvation.
âSure. Iâll get on it now.â Jade left to find a fish tank for the fish.
Lupine was doing the final checks to make sure they didnât forget anything. âMs. Lindberg, what about the plants?
Do you want to bring them along?â
âNo need. They can remain here.â
Charlotte entered the house and realized the photos were nowhere to be seen. Morgan probably knew how important the photos were to her and had packed them up.
She went to every room to make sure there was nothing left behind before heading back to H City with Lupine and Jade in tow.
Jade got a huge fish tank for the fish so they could come to Northridge with them.
As the sun began to set, the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove back home. The trees by the road swayed in the breeze as though they were saying goodbye to Charlotte and her entourage.
Charlotte stared at the passing scenery as she vowed silently to kick-start her career after a long rest.
Regardless of what happens in the future, I now have the ability to protect the kids and start anew! But Iâll have to deal with the Gymnasium Project first.
âMr. Nacht, Sir Robert called us three times today to remind you to deal with the Gymnasium Project!â
Zachary was going through some documents in his office in Nacht Group when Ben came in to report carefully, trying not to tread on his toes.
Without bothering to lift his head, Zachary continued signing the documents.
Ben stood aside silently.
Suddenly, Lucy showed up in a haste. âMr. Nacht, a VIP is here.â
âIs this your first day at work?â Zachary snapped. âI wonât meet anyone without an appointment.â
âItâs Sir Robert from F Nation,â Lucy said timidly. âHeâs waiting in the lobby. The reception desk called the presidentâs office, so Iâ¦â
âThat old man.â Zacharyâs brows knitted together.
Everyone told me that Louisâ family isnât greedy at all. They are supposed to be nice. Looks like that was all an act.
âThe receptionist is waiting for your order,â Lucy prodded carefully. âShould she let him up?â
âBring him upstairs.â Zachary gestured and went back to his work.
âYes.â Lucy left to carry out his order.
âShould I go down personally?â Ben inquired, studying Zacharyâs reaction.
As Robert was here, he should be welcoming the former if Zachary wasnât about to do that.
