“Ms. Lindberg.” At that moment, Morgan hurried over to report, “Marino did take Mr. Nacht back to Divine Corporation. I heard that a board meeting is being convened. Mr. Nacht even ordered all management staff to work overtime and if necessary, stay the night in the office. No matter what, they have to resolve the matter.”
“From the sound of it, there doesn’t seem to be any problems.” Lupine looked at Charlotte warily.
“Continue to keep an eye on him and see if he is really staying over at the office,” Charlotte instructed. “Whenever it’s necessary, try and fish for some leads from Marino. Understood?”
Charlotte ended her sentence with a thoughtful tone.
“Understood.” Morgan nodded.
“Off you go.” Charlotte waved her away.
After both of them left, Charlotte leaned back on her white leather sofa. Looking at the documents in hand, she was in no mood to deal with them. All she could feel inside was confusion.
Recently, Zachary’s behavior had impressed her. Compared to his ruthless and haughty self, he had now become understanding and considerate. He even got off his high horse and went out of his way for the sake of others.
The changes in his demeanor had caused her heart to waver.
Furthermore, she was moved by the fact that he had risked his life to protect her the night before.
Even if they can’t be together, she still hoped that both families could let the past be water under the bridge. She didn’t mind staying away from each other just like how it used to be. All she wanted was for there not to be any more bad blood.
At the very least, the children wouldn’t be torn between both families.
However, she still couldn’t tolerate the fact that Zachary had kept Zara hidden.
For the sake of the children, she was willing to look past what the Nacht family did to her. However, she couldn’t forgive Zara and Sharon for humiliating her in T Nation. Most importantly, she had to exact revenge for the death of Mrs. Berry.
Those two matters were not up for negotiation as they were her red lines.
She hoped that Zachary wouldn’t breach them, or else, she wouldn’t spare him either.
As if he could sense something, Zachary sneezed in his Rolls-Royce. Covering his face, he furrowed his eyebrows and remarked, “Charlotte must be cursing at me right now.”
“You’re right,” Marino replied warily. “Morgan is checking on our movements. I suppose Ms. Lindberg is feeling suspicious.”
“Given how smart she is, it’s reasonable for her to be suspicious,” Zachary plainly remarked, “let alone she has two spies.”
“I’m not a spy. I’m loyal to you.” Marino declared his loyalty at once.
“Don’t worry about it. Your girlfriend comes first.” Zachary replied thoughtfully, “If she asks you anything, just tell her the truth.”
“I dare not.” Marino quickly explained, “I have never leaked anything related to you, I swear.”
“I’m telling you to tell her as it is, do you understand me?” Zachary furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure. “What a dumb*ss.”
“Huh?” Marino was baffled.
“Mr. Nacht is indeed dealing with something in the office. If she asks, you can just tell her what’s going on in the office. Other than that, you don’t know anything else. Do you understand?” Bruce explained.
“Understood.” Marino nodded in acknowledgment.
When a subordinate opened the door from the outside, Zachary got out of the car. Striding into the elevator, he took it right up to the sixty-eight floor.
The moment they entered the elevator, Ben’s phone rang. “Mr. Nacht, we have confirmation that Ms. Nacht is with Mr. Henry.”
Zachary’s expression drastically changed at the news. He gritted his teeth and exclaimed, “Damn it!”
“Calm down, Mr. Nacht.” Ben reassured, “I’m still keeping an eye on them. Spencer is still arranging for a private jet. They look as if they are trying to smuggle Ms. Nacht out of H City. What should I do now?”
“They won’t dare make a move now. No matter what, they will wait till it’s dark.” Zachary furrowed his eyebrows. “Continue watching them and wait for my instructions.”
“Yes.”
