Chapter 725
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âDidnât you see her gesture?â Frowning, Lupine explained, âIf we go after her and ruin her plan, sheâll get mad at us. You know how hot-tempered she is.â
âBut thatâs a total stranger! What if heâs up to no good?â
âWe have to follow them in secret.â Lupine headed to the back door as Charlotte and that mysterious man had exited the club through that door earlier. âWe canât tail too closely or let anything happen to her.â
âWhat happened to Ms. Lindberg? She had always been a cool and logical person. But after the man appeared, she seemed to have lost all her reason.â
âDonât you know? Even the mightiest would fall at a beautyâs glanceâ¦â
In a secluded corner, Marino watched as Zachary led Charlotte away. Delighted, he declared, âMr.
Nacht has succeeded!â
âThose women are a nuisance,â remarked Ben with a frown. He was referring to Lupine and Morgan.
âSo? Should we stop them?â Marino inquired anxiously.
âIf we do, our plan will go bust.â Ben sounded confident. âDonât worry. Mr. Nacht is capable enough of losing them.â
âYes, youâre right,â Marino replied proudly. âShould we follow them and see how Mr. Nacht does it?â
âWe can see it from here.â
Ben pushed the window open and revealed the parking lot behind the back door.
Immediately, they spotted Zachary, who was now disguised as a mysterious man, running out with Charlotte.
âDo you dare to come with me for a ride?â Zachary was about to retrieve his car keys.
âI should be the one asking that!â
Charlotte pressed a button on her car remote. Swiftly, a silver Pagani sped out of its lot and came to a stop beside them.
Zachary released his grip on his Volkswagen car keys silently.
To make up a perfect disguise, he told Ben to get a cheaper Volkswagen and pretended that was his car.
Little had he expected things to turn out this way.
âGet in!â Charlotte urged and pulled him into the car.
Before Zachary could buckle the seatbelt, the Pagani sped away swiftly. He grabbed the handle and put on his seatbelt hurriedly.
Charlotte glanced at the rearview mirror and sped up.
âAre those your bodyguards?â asked Zachary.
He could see both Lupine and Morgan dashing out of the back door in search of them.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you scared?â
Charlotte had no idea it was Zachary. After all, his hair was slicked back, and with his black leather jacket coupled with a mask covering half his face, the man seemed like a rogue.
It was a different image from which the cool and stern Zachary presented.
Zachary knew she was smarter than she used to be. As such, he made sure every detail was perfect.
For example, his current voice differed from his usual voice.
âNope,â Zachary joked. âYouâll protect me!â
Charlotte burst out laughing. Glancing at him, she asked, âAre you a host at Sultry Night?â
âMm!â Zachary inclined his head. âIf you despise me because of my job, itâs not too late to throw me out.â
âState your price.â Instead of showing her disdain, Charlotte lifted her brow. âHow much per night?â
âTen thousand for the entire night!â Zachary blurted out. âNo discount given!â
I canât believe I just said that out loud. Thatâs so embarrassing!
Charlotte chuckled again. âThen what can you do for me?â
âWhat do you want me to do?â
Zachary rested an arm on her seat and leaned closer to her.
âDo we know each other?â
Charlotte was wondering why she wasnât repulsed by his advances. Heâs flirty like the other hosts. So why does his action feel familiar to me?
My heart is even fluttering as he comes closer.
Zachary was baffled. Did it trigger her memory? Or is she merely feigning memory loss?
