Chapter 784
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âOh, right.â Zachary nodded. âGuess why I brought you here then.â
âYou want to keep up the act so Mr. Henry would assume weâre dating. Only then would he go back to Mr. Henry.â Cynthia turned away when she gestured that in case the spies caught that on camera.
âSmart.â Zachary smiled and was about to leave, but then he heard a car stopping outside.
âMr. Nacht!â Ben trotted to him and whispered, âSir Louis and Ms. Lindberg are here.â
âWhat business do they have here?â Zachary frowned and quickly went out. At the same time, he said, âTell Raina to keep an eye on Cynthia and donât let her come out. And keep an eye on Henryâs henchmen. They must not see Charlotte.â
âI understand.â Ben quickly went to make the necessary arrangements.
Cynthia noticed Zachary was in a hurry, and when she saw the headlight outside, she knew someone had come, but she wondered who it might be. Zachary seems to think that the guest is important.
âOh, youâre done, Ms. Blackwood.â Raina hastened to her. âIâll take you in.â Raina waved his hand, and two servants helped Cynthia up.
Cynthia tightened Zacharyâs jacket around her and wore her slippers before going into the room. At the same time, a group of people came in, and she reflexively turned around. She saw Louis, of course, and there was another lady with him. She couldnât see too clearly because of the distance, but she knew the lady had a sexy figure and an angelic vibe that permeated the air.
âLetâs go in, Ms. Blackwood,â Raina urged her, and she looked away. Cynthia went into the room with Raina, albeit with some difficulty.
Charlotte noticed Cynthia too, and she smirked. âNo wonder you were in a hurry, Mr. Nacht. I see you have a girlfriend here. I can understand that you want to spend time with her.â
Zachary looked where she was looking, and he frowned. Rainaâs really slow.
âGirlfriend? What girlfriend?â Louis looked around, but all he saw were the nurses cleaning up near the hot spring. However, he noticed the flowers and handkerchief on the chair, and he realized there was a lady in the hot spring before he came.
âYour girlfriend is here, Zachary?â Louis got excited. âYou should have brought her out to meet us, you little rascal.â
âSheâs just a friend,â Zachary explained calmly.
âAs if!â Louis looked excited. âI never saw you going on a date with any lady except your wife. This is the first in all these years.â
âAh, so youâre cheating, huh?â Charlotte looked disgusted. âYou keep a mistress despite having a wife?
How crude.â
âSomeone sounds jealous.â Zachary arched his eyebrow.
âWhy youâ¦â
âAlright, stop it,â Louis stopped them. âWhy do you guys keep fighting every time you meet?â Then he explained on Zacharyâs behalf, âI think I have to explain, Charlotte. Zacharyâs wife has been missing for two years, and he has been sparing no effort to search for her, but thereâs no news about his wife.
Legally speaking, heâs single, so having a girlfriend is normal.â
âSheâs missing?â Charlotte was inexplicably uneasy after hearing that.
âLetâs take this outside.â Zachary didnât want his grandfatherâs henchmen to see Charlotte.
âWhy the hurry?â Louis was upset. âDonât want us to see your girlfriend? Is she Medusa or something?â
Charlotte, too, wanted to know who the woman in Zacharyâs suit was. She wasnât fond of gossips, but for some reason, she wanted to know right away.
