Chapter 348
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
That day, Zachary kept one eye on his phone, waiting for Charlotte to call.
But she never did.
At night, Raina came over to give her report. She kindly said, âMs. Windtâs waist injury is much better.
She should recover soon. By the way, I sent her a message in the afternoon, and she said that sheâs going back to work tomorrow.â
âOkay. What else did she say?â Zachary asked casually.
What he really wanted to ask was if she mentioned him.
âShe⦠She also said that your arrangement is very thoughtfulâ¦â Raina gingerly lied. âYou even arranged accommodations for the doctor and attendants which allow them to take care of the children.
She said you solved a huge problem for her and sheâs very thankfulâ¦â
âYouâre getting bolder these days. How dare you lie to me?â Zachary cut her off and glared at her menacingly.
âPlease forgive me, Mr. Nacht,â Raina hung her head and apologized.
Zachary knitted his brow. So it really was a lie. That ungrateful wretch. She has no concept of being thankful.
âGo.â Zachary lowered his gaze and continued sipping his alcohol.
âYes.â Raina bowed and was about to back out of the room when she came face to face with old Mr.
Nacht. She quickly lowered her head again and greeted, âNice to see you, old Mr. Nacht!â
âYes. Has the matter been resolved?â Old Mr. Nacht took a seat on the sofa opposite Zachary.
âWhat matter?â Zachary asked without thinking. When realization hit him, he said, âOh, itâs settled!â
âGood.â Old Mr. Nacht nodded. âDivine Corporation is growing by the day. You need to take note of public opinion. I hope my incident didnât cause you too much bad press.â
âNo, itâs fine.â Zachary looked at how he was dressed to the nines. âYouâre dressed up. Do you have a date with some old woman?â Zachary teased.
âStop it. How dare you tease me, you brat!â Old Mr. Nacht whacked Zachary with his crutch.
âHeheâ¦â Zachary chuckled. âWhere are you going?â
âIâm going to see my three grandchildren.â Old Mr. Nachtâs face immediately brightened at the thought of the three children. âI just called them and asked them out for a meal.â
Zachary frowned. âAre you serious? Youâve only known them for a few days. Why are you treating them like your actual great-grandchildren?â
âThose three children are fated with me. From the moment I set eyes on them, I felt a sense of closeness. Moreover, they look a little like you. You share similar personalities as well, especially with Robbieâ¦â Old Mr. Nacht chuckled.
âStop! Those three rug ratsâ¦â Zachary snapped with displeasure.
He hurriedly added, âDonât set them so close to me. Iâm not the kind of person to sleep around!â
âI know youâre careful in that area. Otherwise, I might suspect that theyâre actually your children!â old Mr. Nacht sighed as he rolled his eyes.
âI used to always be on your case and forbade you from gallivanting out there. Now that I see these three children, I very much hope that youâll gallivant. You only have to do it at least once.â
âHave you gone senile? What nonsense are you spouting?â Zacharyâs face grew solemn.
âFine, fine. Iâm done wasting my breath on you.â Old Mr. Nacht rose to his feet and started to walk out.
âYouâre just a boring stick in the mud. Iâm off to see my grandchildren. Theyâre too cute!â
Zachary was speechless. He did not expect that old Mr. Nacht would become so close to Michaelâs children. Somehow, it did not sit well with him. He took big gulps from his glass.
âMr. Nacht. Will old Mr. Nacht realize who those three children are? Should we give Ms. Windt a headâs up?â Ben whispered his suggestion.
âShe has a brain of her own. Canât she think for herself?â Zachary snapped.
âYes!â
