Chapter 141
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Nonetheless, she canât be blamed for this. After all, the two of them looked identical. Be it their height, body, voice, and eyes⦠they looked exactly the same! The only noticeable difference between them was the heightened arrogance of Zachary and the childish behavior of Chris.
Before this, the âGigolo In Debtâ was wearing a mask all the time and he only appeared during the night.
Also, Chris only impersonated him once and as a result, he was aware of the secrets between them, including Charlotteâs situation.
Hence, it was perfectly reasonable for her to have mistaken him for Zachary.
âSpeak, whatâs going on?â Charlotte admonished him.
âWhat?â Chris heart was racing. He was hesitant to utter the truth.
âYouâre just a gigolo. Why is everyone saying that youâre the heir to a rich family?â
âAlso, why did you take off your mask and expose your true identity?â
âWhy are you here at Bar DTT every day? Whatâs your relationship with Peter?â
Charlotte bombarded him with tons of questions.
âActuallyâ¦â Chris paused before continuing. Eventually, he decided to provide an obscured answer.
âThink about it this way. It was a misunderstanding all along. I was never a gigolo!â
It was the truth. Previously, Zachary merely explained the situation in brevity. Hence, it was her own assumptions that led to the misunderstanding.
âYouâre saying thatâ¦â Charlotte recalled the night when they first met.
He was alone in the VIP room and was surrounded by security guards. Clearly, this should not be a privilege enjoyed by a gigolo.
Furthermore, she had never witnessed him courting any clients before. At most, they briefly spoke about it during their conversations on the phone. It was my imagination after all?
âThat canât be right.â Charlotte was suspicious. âHow would you explain the incident four years ago?â
âFour years ago, I went in the wrong room.â Chris casually replied. âFate must have brought us together.â
âI seeâ¦â Charlotte was finally convinced. âThen, your real identity isâ¦â
âIâm just a rich playboy that does nothing.â Chris was well aware of his character. âThatâs better than a gigolo, right?â
âAt least you have some self-awareness.â Charlotte rolled her eyes at him. Later, she asked, âWhy did you impersonate a gigolo and sign the loan agreement with me?
âFor fun.â Chris laughed mischievously. âIâm sick of a boring life where everything goes my way. I crave challenge and adventure. Hence, when you mistook me as a gigolo and forced me to enslave myself, that was exhilarating!â
Hence, he decided to play along with her.
Since it was just fun and games, there shouldnât be a problem so long he didnât cross any boundaries.
Charlotte was stupefied by his puzzling smile. However, she couldnât explain why.
Then, she thought about Zachary and interrogated him further. âIf thatâs the case, whoâs the person that saved me that night?â
âWhy do you ask?â Chrisâ reaction was speedy. âDid someone tell you about it?â
âMy boss said he saved my life,â Charlotte uttered the truth.
âYour boss?â His heart sank. Donât tell me thatâ¦
âItâs the pervert boss.â The mere utterance of Zacharyâs name was sufficient to trigger her fears. âMy colleague told me that he carried me out from the backdoor. Today, I asked him again and the answer was the same⦠However, the person I saw the morning after the incident was clearly youâ¦â
Charlotte blushed and she squeezed her eyes shut to avoid eye contact.
Chris looked at her expression and recalled what happened that night. When Zachary carried her out from the backdoor, she was clearly druggedâ¦
Hence, that night, theyâ¦
Chris was unrattled by the thought. It felt as if his woman was tainted by another manâ¦
âSpeak. Whatâs going on?â Charlotte pestered him.
âInitially, he was indeed the person who rescued you. Later, I arrived and snatched you awayâ¦â Chris replied.
Chris was a veteran womanizer. He was familiar with all the tactics and tricks to get the woman that he wanted. Hence, a lie was nothing to him.
