Chapter 146
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Charlotte was stunned for a moment and hurriedly got into the car.
Everyone around was watching her.
Several women who lived in the same neighborhood were gossiping around. âIsnât this Mrs. Berryâs daughter? Look, she has a boyfriend now.â
âHe looks rich and handsome. Mrs. Berry lucked out!â
âQuick, close the convertible.â Charlotte covered her face since she did not want to be seen by her acquaintances.
âWhat are you afraid of? I have nothing to be ashamed of.â Chris closed the convertible and even waved at the women. âBye, ladies!â
âBye!â They were overjoyed.
âWhy did you wave at them?â She could not understand him. âDonât you think youâre being too flashy?â
âTheyâre your neighbors, arenât they? So we will know each other eventually,â Chris said cheekily, âWhen do you plan to let me meet your family?â
âStop messing around.â Although Charlotte spurned, a smile appeared on her face. âWhy are you driving in a different car today? Whereâs the Aston Martin?â
âThat car broke down, so I took it to repair.â
Chris sped away in his car.
âBroke down? It was fine yesterday.â Charlotte was shocked.
âIt broke down on the way back.â
He was not lying. He deliberately crashed it on the way back and brought the car with a deformed front hood to Zacharyâs garage.
Early this morning, Ben arranged for someone to send it for repair.
That way, Zachary would not be driving that car, and Charlotte would not meet the real Gigolo In Debt anymoreâ¦
After doing all that, Chris felt a little uneasy as this was his first time playing tricks on Zachary since childhood.
He was hesitant and felt anxious for a moment, but in the end, he did it anyway.
He knew that he had protection, so Zachary would not actually do anything to him.
âDrive carefully next time.â
Charlotte exhorted and started feasting on the buns and soy milk.
Chris glanced at her and pretended to be pitiful. âHow rude. I drove to pick you up, but you wonât give me food.â
âFine. Just one bunââthe one Iâve started eating.â She handed him a half-bitten bun.
Surprisingly, he did not mind and leaned closer to take a big bite. âMmm, so delicious!â
âThe buns made by Mrs. Berry are delicious, indeed.â
She stuffed the remaining half into his mouth.
âBring a few more tomorrow.â He licked his lips. âI can eat ten of such delicious buns in one go.â
âYou will make me poor.â Charlotte smiled and wiped his mouth for him.
âI personally drove to pick you up, yet you accuse me of eating too much of your food.â
Chris totally enjoyed his close interaction with Charlotte. Although I have dated many women, I have never shared a bun with a girl in a car like this. This is the most blissful thing in the world.
âAll right, all right. I will bring ten for you.â
Charlotte was worried that he could not accept her current state of living, but she did not expect him to be so down-to-earth. It seemed like her worries were unnecessary.
I will observe for a little bit longer. Then, if he continues to behave this well, I might consider taking him to meet Mrs. Berry and the children.
The children need a father, after allâ¦
A speedy drive meant that it only took ten minutes for them to reach the street across from the office.
âLetâs stop here. I donât want to be seen by my colleagues.â Charlotte was very cautious.
âAll right.â He parked his car by the road. âI will be busy this afternoon, so I canât pick you up after work.
Iâll see you at the bar tonight!â
âSure.â When she was about to get out of the car, he suddenly held her and leaned in intimately.
âGoodbye kiss!â
Charlotte blushed and closed her eyes nervously.
Chris curled up the corners of his lips and leaned in even closer. When his thin, sexy lips were about to make contact with her forehead, a Rolls-Royce suddenly passed byâ¦
He hurriedly let go of her and teased, âLetâs leave it there. Weâll get back to it tonight!â
Opening her eyes, Charlotte glanced at him bashfully. She then quickly got off the car and ran towards the company buildingâ¦
