Chapter 678
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âMs. Charlotteâ¦â
Just when Lucy wanted to take a step closer, one of Charlotteâs grim-faced female bodyguards walked up and stopped her.
Lucy had no choice but to take a step back and watch Charlotte leave in her Rolls-Royce Phantom.
She let out a sigh. All of a sudden, she found herself surrounded by businessmen. They were all talking behind her back.
Wow, Nacht Group tries to get into someoneâs good books? What a surprise!
I must say Ms. Lindberg is really one of a kind!
It looks like the Lindberg Corporation is ready to make a comeback after staying low for two years.
Nacht Group has finally found themselves a worthy rival now!
âShe left?â Johann came over and asked when he saw how awkward Lucy was. He could not help but give her a wry smile. âShe must have given you a hard time, huh?â
Lucy nodded in embarrassment. âI told her Mr. Nacht is on his way here and hope she could wait for him. Guess what she said?â
âWhat did she say?â he asked.
âShe asked him to make an appointment with her secretary.â Lucy was bemused.
Johann instantly burst out laughing. âThat girl is quite something, I could tell.â
âIndeed.â Lucy nodded while letting out another sigh.
âSheâs so different from the always clueless Charlotte Windt.â Johann suddenly put on a serious face and said, âBut how is it possible that they look so alike, yet their personalities are so different?â
Lucy could not help but sigh upon recalling the way she talked and moved.
âCharlotte Windt and I spent almost every day together when she was working with me, and I remember how adorable she was,â she said.
âYet, Ms. Lindberg is not only domineering but also arrogant,â she added, âI donât even dare to look into her eyes.â
Johann nodded. âThat incident that had happened a few years ago was definitely a huge blow to Mr.
Nacht. He may have eventually overcome his grief, but he had also become more reticent now.â
âNo one else knew about this incident except Ben, you, and I. Though thereâs someone new in Mr.
Nachtâs life, the love of his life will forever be his wife, Charlotte Windt.â
âOh, well.â Lucy sighed. âI was so stunned when I first saw Ms. Lindbergâ¦â
All of a sudden, a speeding Maybach arrived and parked right beside them. Zachary came down from the car and asked, âWhereâs she?â
âShe has left.â Lucy said in a weak voice, âIâve tried my best to stop her from leaving, but she didnât even want to talk to meâ¦â
âAny contact details?â Zachary asked anxiously.
âNope,â Lucy shook her head and said sheepishly, âShe asked you to make an appointment with her secretary if you wish to see her.â
Zachary was at a loss for words.
Charlotte wouldnât say something like that.
âMr. Nacht, though she looked like Ms. Windt, her personality is totally the oppositeâ¦â Johann said.
âLetâs get into the car.â Zachary interrupted and ordered Ben, âLook for the person in charge of the auction. Get the footage of the surveillance cameras from them.â
âAll right, Sir.â
Once they got into the car, Lucy and Johann told Zachary everything that had happened during the auction.
Zachary instantly knitted his brows.
Based on their descriptions, the girl was unlikely to be Charlotte Windt. The Charlotte I knew was a scaredy-cat. She would always hide behind me and nudge me when she was curious about the things she saw.
Does that mean sheâs not my Charlotte?
âMr. Nacht, weâve gotten the footage.â Ben took out a notebook and played a clip.
Zachary was thunderstruck the moment he saw the girl. âItâs her. Itâs definitely her!â
