Chapter 1540
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1540 He Is Back âWeâre husband and wife. Donât you trust me?â Charlotteâs brows knitted together. âYou used to trust me a lot.â
âStop talking about the past. You went on a date lastââ
âWe donât have time,â Charlotte interjected coldly. âJust do as I say!â
âYouâ¦â Words failed âZachary.â
âNext, tell the media that we love each other dearly,â Charlotte ordered.
âAnything else?â he asked, giving up on refuting her words.
âThen, explain the situation at the board meeting,â said Charlotte.
âZacharyâ waited for her to continue, but she showed no signs of wanting to explain what it was. Hence, he inquired, âWhat situation?â
âOur promise,â Charlotte answered, raising a brow. âHave you forgotten about it?â
âWe made plenty of promises. I donât know which one youâre talking about,â he came up with a great excuse.
âYou promised to let me run the company for the time being,â Charlotte reminded him. âDonât you remember?â
âOf course. Of course I do.â He nodded vehemently. âAll right. Anything else?â
âThatâs it. Do your best.â
After Charlotte finished with her instructions, the car rolled to a stop before Divine Corporation.
At once, hordes of journalists swarmed over to them, but the security guards Lucy had arranged earlier blocked their path.
The car was about to enter the underground parking lot when Charlotte asked to be let off at the main entrance.
She then got out of the car with âZacharyâ in tow.
The sight of âZacharyâ caused an uproar among the journalists, who began snapping pictures of him.
With a frown marring his brows, âZacharyâ strode into the building coolly.
Charlotte trotted beside him, and they looked every inch the perfect couple.
However, they each had their own plans in mind.
In the elevator, Lucy was thrilled to see âZachary.â âMr. Nacht, itâs great to see you again! I thought youâ¦â
She trailed off, her voice choking. As one of the higher-ups of Nacht Group, she had been invited to the wedding.
Alas, a fire had broken out at the Nacht residence, and Zachary was rumored to have died in the fire.
Lucy had been pretty upset at the news, so she was excited to see him here.
âIâm still alive,â the fake Zachary replied plainly.
âYes, of course.â Lucy bobbed her head. âYouâre alive and well. Luck is on both Nacht Group and Divine Corporationâs side!â
âIs everyone else here?â he asked in an authoritative tone.
âYes, but Mr. Spencer isnât here today.â Lucy turned to Charlotte. âA few board members were just asking about him.â
âI told him not to come,â Charlotte said. âWeâre discussing work-related matters today, so thereâs no need to bother him.â
âOf course.â
Soon, the elevator arrived at level 68. When the doors slid open, the executives immediately came over to greet them, especially Kallum and a few board members from the headquarter. They had been waiting anxiously before the elevator.
At the sight of âZacharyâ stepping out of the elevator in one piece, they were delighted. âMr. Nacht, welcome back!â
âMr. Nacht, itâs great to see you again!â
âI knew luck will always be on our side.â
âThatâs rightâ¦â
The crowd gathered around him and chattered eagerly.
âThank you, all. You mustâve worked hard,â the fake Zachary said sincerely. âThough I ran into trouble, Iâm still alive and standing. Donât worry!â
âOh, wonderful! This is simply wonderful!â
Everyone was touched, their gazes fixed on âZachary.â No one paid heed to Charlotte.
Just then, someone thought of something important and asked, âMr. Nacht, now that youâre back safely, you should resume the position of running the company, right?â
âYes, Nacht Group shall grow under your leadâ¦â
âThatâs right!âq
