chapter 179
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Charlotte quickly closed her eyes and turned around. âYou⦠youâre still bathing. Iâll wait outside.â
Zachary ignored her.
As Charlotte walked out, something occurred to her. Why donât I use this opportunity to check if there is a wolf head tattoo on his back?
With that thought in mind, she stopped in her tracks. Having gathered her courage, she said, âI would like to talk to you about something.â
âHmm?â Zachary grunted.âWere you the one who sent me the Delivery from Hell?â Charlotte demanded to know.
Zachary opened his eyes. âDid someone send it to you using my name?â
âYes.â Charlotte nodded. âI received a parcel in the evening. Inside, there was a body of a dead kitten and also a bombâ¦â
Just talking about it caused her to feel the chills from the incident. âLuckily, I realized it in time and the explosion wasnât a big one. Or else, I would be dead now.â
Zachary was briefly silent before giving Raina a call. âThereâs a Delivery from Hell. Go and investigate who sent it.â
âUnderstood.â
âIt wasnât you? Who could it be then?â Charlotte couldnât put two and two together. âWho would even dare pretend to be you?â
It wasnât strange if someone wanted to harm her. What piqued her curiosity was that the culprit did so in Zacharyâs name.
âIâve sent men to investigate so weâll know soon enough.â Zachary wiped the water off his face. âIs there anything else?â
âWith regards to the necklaceâ¦â
âYou still have one day.â Zachary didnât budge.
âButâ¦â
Charlotte had wanted to plead for more time. But Zachary had closed his eyes and obviously didnât want to hear any of it.
Pursing her lips, Charlotte glared at him angrily.
Thereâs no way I can see the tattoo with his back to the bathtub.
After giving it some thought, Charlotte remarked on purpose, âMr. Nacht, I donât understand why you forced me to sign the debt repayment agreement. Have you fallen for me? But Iâm already taken.â
Zachary growled with a frown, âGet out.â
âItâs the truth, Iâm not bluffing.â Charlotte was desperate. âMy boyfriend is tall and handsome. Every time Iâm in trouble, he would come save me. Besides, heâ¦â
âWho saved you this time?â Zachary opened his eyes and looked at her as if she was an idiot. âAnd the last time, and the time before thatâ¦â
âYes, you have also saved me many times. But he is differentâ¦â Charlotte had an idea and declared on purpose, âHe is my first boyfriend and I will never leave him.â
âOh? What does he do?â Zachary raised his eyebrow curiously.
âHeâ¦â Charlotte hesitated before she replied reluctantly, âHe works in the service industry.â
I canât fully confirm that Zachary is Gigolo yet, what if he isnât?
Hence, she decided not to reveal Gigoloâs identity, for fear of reprisals from Zachary.
âWhat kind of service?â Zachary tried to trap her.
âErm⦠heâsâ¦â Charlotte couldnât say it but she was terrible at lying. In the end, she found an excuse.
âWhy should I tell you?â
Zachary wasnât bothered to entertain her further. Raising his hand, he waved her away.
Charlotte had no choice but to leave when she realized her plan had failed.
Just when she turned around, she kicked her knee against the wall, causing her to yell in pain. Feeling the numbness in her knee, she crouched on the floor to rub it.
âWhy are you so clumsy!â Zachary was dumbfounded. âEven a pig is smarter than you!â
âBoohoo⦠it hurtsâ¦â Charlotte was squatting on the floor, crying. âItâs really painful.â
When Zachary saw how pitifully she was sobbing, he couldnât help but sympathize with her. Hence he stood up and walked over.
When Charlotte heard him coming from behind her, her eyes lit up as she knew her moment had arrived.
