Chapter 759
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
When the man in charge saw that Charlotte had help from a professional, he immediately sent all his men against him at once.
They werenât a match for Zacharyâs skills, however. In just a few minutes, they all collapsed under Zacharyâs hand. One of them even flew and landed heavily on their windshield before sliding onto the ground below.
Charlotte hadnât expected Zachary to be such a good fighter. Amidst her surprise, she started feeling suspicious about Zacharyâs true identity.
Once the man in charge noticed how things were no longer going in his favor, he quickly pulled out his gun and aimed it at Zachary. âDonât move, or Iâll shoot!â
âWait, donât-â Charlotte stepped forward, but Zachary immediately pushed her behind him.
âAre you going to shoot me?â Zachary narrowed his eyes dangerously and walked close to the other man. âIâd like to see you try.â
âWho are you?â the man cocked his gun.
Charlotteâs eyes widened in fear, and she quickly sent a signal to Lupine.
âThatâs not important,â Zachary said as he closed in on the man. His eyes flashed with a murderous glint. âAll you have to know is that you canât afford to mess with me.â
âYou-â the man stammered in anger. He was about to shoot when he caught a closer glimpse at Zacharyâs eyes. He instantly recognized who it was. âZ-â
His hands started to shake as his gaze started becoming panicky.
Right at that moment, Zachary snatched his gun away swiftly and pressed it against the other manâs temple.
âMr. N-â the man started but changed as soon as he saw Zacharyâs warning glare. âDonât shoot!â
âGet out of here!â Zachary jerked his head in the direction of the fallen men.
The man in charge called for all his subordinates, and they ran off with their tails between their legs.
They had only just left when Lupine reached. The team of women rushed off their cars and ran toward Charlotte. âMs. Lindberg, are you alright?â
âIâm fine.â Charlotte shook her head and reached a hand out to Zachary.
Zachary tossed the gun toward Charlotte and patted his clothes down, which had been messed up by the fight.
Charlotte observed the gun closely and said in slight confusion, âThis gun is from M Nation. Zacharyâs subordinates seem to obey the law enough that they donât often use guns. Could those men be under someone else?â
Finally! Thank God I got my hands on a gun so you could check for yourself.
Instead of saying that out loud, Zachary chose to ask, âHow complicated. Who exactly did you mess with?â
âNone of your business.â Charlotte glared at him and tossed the gun to Lupine. âWait for me in the car.â
âUnderstood.â The bodyguards all got back into the car.
Charlotte turned to look at Zachary. âThank you for the help.â
âNo biggie,â Zachary said with a smile. âSo is our beach date still on or what?â
âSadly, I have other things to take care of.â Charlotte checked her watch and pointed at the Paganiâs tire. âShould I call the insurance company or-â
âItâs fine. Iâll deal with it,â Zachary said. âDonât worry and do what you need to do.â
âAlright,â Charlotte said as she looked at him. Suddenly, she felt like hugging him but held herself back and walked away.
âHey!â Zachary called out.
Charlotte turned. âWhat?â
âDid you forget something?â
Zacharyâs eyes softened with love, and he reached out to pull her into his embrace. Then, his warm lips landed on hers.
A rush of emotions overwhelmed her like a tornado, and she melted into his arms once again.
âHuh?â
In the car, Morgan was watching them with wide eyes.
âGosh!â Lupine marveled and shook her head. âThey move fast, donât they?â
âLove really is fast and furious,â Morgan said in admiration.
âDid you suddenly become some love expert?â Lupine rolled her eyes at her and frowned. âIf Mr.
Lindberg hears about this, heâll be furious.â
âYouâre right,â Lupine said in realization. âHe did mention that Ms. Lindberg was only allowed to date Sir Louis.â
