Chapter 810
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Charlotte got out of the car and went to her villa after replying to Gigolo.
âGood night, Charlotte.â Louis saw her off reluctantly.
Charlotte waved him goodbye without looking back. She then whispered to Lupine, âSee if Zacharyâs leaving Ashenville Garden.â
âYes.â Lupine exited through the back door. At the same time, Zachary had changed into a new set of clothes and left with Ben, Marino, and two bodyguards. They went with a servantâs car to stay away from prying eyes.
âShould we retrieve the Pagani from Happy Avenue, Mr. Nacht?â Marino knew of all Zacharyâs habits.
âNo.â Zachary looked at the time. âA Paganiâs tire costs a bomb. A normal gigolo canât afford that.â
âOh, right.â Realization struck Marino.
âI thought I asked you to deal with that lady? There doesnât seem to be any progress to me.â Zachary was suddenly reminded of this matter.
âI, well, there wasnât any opening tonight.â Marinoâs face turned scarlet.
âItâs a bit hard for Marino, Mr. Nacht.â Ben tried to pacify his boss. âMarinoâs been working for you since he was thirteen, and itâs only been eight years since then. He has never dated a woman, so he knows nothing about courting.â
âI see.â Zachary nodded. âIt seems that I should have sent you instead. Youâre more experienced than he is since you know your way around Sultry Night thanks to me.â
âWhat?â Ben was shocked. He didnât expect to land himself in trouble just because he helped Marino out.
âHmm. Alright, Iâve decidedâ¦â Zachary pointed at Ben and commanded, âLupineâs yours.â He then turned to Marino. âAnd youâll deal with Morgan.â
âIââ Marino was panicking, but he didnât dare to object.
âBut Lupineâs one cold, grumpy, and arrogant b*tch. Sheâs unreasonable and gets on my nerves every time. You canât be serious, Mr. Nacht.â Ben was almost begging. âPlease donât push this onto me.â
âShe gets on your nerves because she wants you to like her, get it?â Zachary gave him a tip.
But Ben couldnât accept it. âThat canât be.â
âIf I say she does it because she likes you, then thatâs the truth.â Zachary didnât back down. âAre you defying my orders?â
âNo.â Ben had no choice but to take the mission. Marino gave him a look of pity, and he returned it.
Both men had a look of hopelessness on their faces.
At the same time, Charlotte had changed and was about to get into her car when Lupine came bearing news. âZachary has left, but not in his Rolls-Royce. Heâs using his subordinateâs Benz. Hereâs the plate.â She handed her phone to Charlotte.
Charlotte took a look and memorized the plate number. She was going to see if Zachary was Gigolo that night. Heâs dead if he is.
After putting a mask on, Zachary went into Sultry Night. As usual, it was packed, and the crowd was rowdy. He hated it, but he put up with it because he could see Charlotte soon.
Zachary looked at the time and realized he was ten minutes early, so he went to his room to see if there was anything on him that would give him away. The first thing he noticed was the wound on his neck.
She must have noticed this by now, but she didnât suspect a thing because she trusts Gigolo. But if that trust is lost, thereâs going to be a world of trouble waiting for meâ¦
Zachary took a dagger out and made a few more scratches on his wound.
âWhat are you doing, Mr. Nacht?â Ben was surprised.
âShut up and give me the medical kit,â Zachary commanded.
âYes sir.â Ben hastily got the medical kit and took out the bandage and hemostatic dressing to stop the bleeding.
Zachary made the bite mark on his neck look like a slash mark. Since it was still fresh, he had to stop its bleeding and get it bandaged.
