Chapter 1299 Bad Habits Have Relapsed
Nancy dismissed her bodyguards and got into Zachary’s car directly.
Zachary was stunned, for no other women except for Charlotte and her subordinates had sat in his car before.
Although he frowned, he did not make any further remarks.
After closing the car door, Nancy finally realized something and apologized, “I’m sorry for entering your car without seeking your permission first. I just didn’t want to bring too many people along with me and make a huge scene.”
“It’s fine.” Zachary smiled. “Tell him the address.”
“Okay. It’s at the coast of Baykeep…” Nancy quickly told the address to the driver.
The car headed toward the destination slowly.
Zachary glanced at the rearview mirror. After ensuring that the Gold family’s bodyguards were not following them, he asked, “I heard that your father is a very careful man. The Gold family’s bodyguards are also well-trained. Won’t they be worried that you entered my car alone?”
“Staying by your side is safer than anywhere else.”
Whenever Nancy spoke, she always gazed at Zachary affectionately, her eyes brimming with admiration. Her voice was very gentle and melodious too.
Zachary was reminded of Charlotte. She has never looked at me like that, nor spoken to me so gently. Either she’s fierce, angry, or silent…
Sometimes, I wonder if she has truly loved me.
“That must be Sultry Night. I’ve never been there before.” Nancy pointed at a neon signboard nearby and said excitedly, “Sultry Night’s outlets all over the world are doing extremely well! There’s even one at Koandria.”
Looking at Sultry Night’s signboard, Zachary recalled a lot of past events—the first time he met Charlotte, how he got scammed by her, and how he was forced to sign that debt contract…
Although she was extremely fierce, she was adorable too.
Yet, she was now starting to conceal her emotions and adopting a cold attitude. No matter what he did, he could never touch her heart…
“It’s Ms. Lindberg’s car!” Ben suddenly exclaimed.
Stunned, Zachary narrowed his eyes. Indeed, he saw Phantom, which he had instructed Bruce to give to Charlotte, parked at the entrance of Sultry Night.
Her bad habits have relapsed!
“Go there and take a look,” instructed Zachary.
“Understood.” The subordinate immediately drove toward Sultry Night.
“Aren’t we going to Baykeep?”
Nancy was surprised, not expecting her meticulous plans to be disrupted so easily.
“Next time,” replied Zachary calmly.
“Alright.” Although Nancy was disappointed, she still forced a smile and said considerately, “Just let me alight by the road. I’ll ask my bodyguards to pick me up.”
“Let’s go together,” said Zachary. “You haven’t been there before, right? I’ll show you around.”
“Sure!”
Nancy was delighted. Initially, she thought that Zachary would look for Charlotte and abandon her. Surprisingly, he wanted to bring her along.
When the car arrived at the entrance of Sultry Night, the manager immediately rushed out and greeted, “It’s been a long time, Mr. Nacht.”
Not recognizing him, Ben asked, “Where’s Peter?”
“He’s taking another shift. He works from midnight to morning now because it’s more convenient for him to take care of his wife during the day,” explained the manager with a smile. “Do you still remember me, Ben? I used to work for Peter.”
“Yeah,” grunted Ben before paving a way through the crowd with the other subordinates.
Zachary entered with Nancy. It was still as crowded and lively as before, with neon lights flashing around.
He glanced around, but did not see Charlotte anywhere.
Having read his mind, Ben immediately asked the manager, “Did you see Ms. Lindberg?”
“Who’s Ms. Lindberg?” The new manager did not know who Charlotte was.
