Chapter 1328
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âYouâre a lunatic,â Charlotte hissed out. âI was kind to make you food. How could you say that? Tell me then. What poison could I possibly put in there?â
âAphrodisiac,â Zachary blurted out.
Charlotte was speechless at that.
âLook at the expression you had. Clearly, youâre lusting for more,â Zachary teased. âYou were looking for tons of excuses tonight, and you brought me to your room. Then, you spilled tea on my pants. All of these are to keep me here, right? Did you think that Iâm clueless?â
âYouââ Charlotteâs face reddened from anger. âDo you have no shame, Zachary?â
She slammed the bowl on the coffee table before huffing out, âForget it if you donât want to eat it. Iâll let an ingrate like you starve to death.â
As some of the oatmeal had splashed onto her hand, she went to the bathroom to wash up.
Her fading footsteps told Zachary that she was gone. Instantly, he began searching for his phone on the sofa.
After washing her hands, Charlotte heard a quiet tone. When she lowered her head, she noticed Zacharyâs phone in the clothes he had changed out of.
Picking up the phone, she then noticed that he had a message. It was from Nancy. Mr. Nacht, are you home yetâ¦
The rest of the message was not shown. Even then, the name of the sender itself made Charlotteâs heart sink into the abyss.
âIs my phone in the bathroom?â Zachary asked. He could not see, but that meant that his hearing had become better.
âYes,â Charlotte answered as she walked out of the bathroom with the phone. âWhatâs the matter with you? Youâve even left your phone in there.â
Zachary reached out for his phone, and it was then Charlotte realized his eyes seemed to be unfocused.
Her heart leaped to her throat. She then deliberately stretched out her arm in a different direction before saying, âSomeone sent you a message. There, take it.â
Just as she expected, Zacharyâs hands grabbed the air instead of the phone.
Shock struck Charlotte like a bolt from the blue. Her eyes widened almost impossibly as she stared at him.
He⦠canât see?
Zachary stiffened when he realized he had not reached out for his phone. Nevertheless, he quickly snatched the phone from Charlotte in the next second and bellowed, âYou peeked at my phone?â
âYes, but I wasnât peeking,â Charlotte snarled in mock anger. âI was looking openly.â
She did not want him to find out what she had just figured out.
Her angry tone made Zachary sigh quietly in relief. Sheâs not all that smart. I donât think she found out anything.
Right then, someone knocked on the door. Benâs voice then came from the outside. âMs. Lindberg, Iâve brought Mr.
Nachtâs clothes here.â
Charlotte walked over to the door and took the clothes from Ben. Then, faking a cold tone, she hissed out, âGet changed and get out.â
After taking the clothes from Charlotte, Zachary immediately undid his robe to reveal his muscular figure.
âAh!â Charlotte shrieked before promptly spinning around. Her face was hot with a bright blush as she stammered out, âW-What are you doing?â
âItâs not like youâve never seen it before. Why are you so scared?â Zachary teased as he slowly changed.
Although he could not see anything, he could feel the logo and the buttons of the clothes, so he managed to put on his clothes right.
Charlotte was furious, but she wanted to be certain about his eyes. Hence, she mustered up her courage and turned back to him.
By then, Zachary was done putting on his pants. He was in the middle of doing the buttons of his shirt.
He was elegant and was having no problems with them.
Furthermore, his head was hanging, so she could not see whether or not he could see clearly.
âZachary,â Charlotte started, trying to come up with a topic so that she could have a clear look at his eyes. âAre you dating Nancy?â
âWhy, are you jealous?â
Zachary grinned, but his eyes remained unfocused.
âIf you really like her, then be nice to her. From now on, weâll have to keep our distance from each other.â Charlotte stared at Zacharyâs eyes before tentatively saying, âIf you donât like her, and youâre using her to annoy me, then you should stop.â
