As her thoughts began to wander, she suddenly received a call from Zachary.
Charlotte immediately tensed up. She carefully answered the phone after clearing her throat. “Hello?”
“What are you up to?”
The man sounded as frigid as usual despite being the one to make the call.
“I’m just spacing out.” She lay down on the couch before she asked, “Is something the matter?”
“I’ll come back and take care of your resignation,” Zachary remarked professionally.
“Oh. That’s very kind of you. Thank you, Mr. Nacht,” she replied carefully.
“Do you not have anything to tell me?”
She pondered for a moment before answering, “Good night.”
The conversation fell silent, and the man hung up a few seconds later.
She didn’t know what to think. What should I have told him?
Whether or not he’s actually Gigolo, he probably already knows what Luna did at the company.
But so what if he does?
Should I be complaining to him about it and asking him to help me?
You’re the one I’m most afraid of, Mr. Nacht!
I’d have so much less to think about if you weren’t involved.
Charlotte tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. A day had already passed, and she still didn’t know how to deal with the mother-daughter duo who were trying to cause trouble for her.
Should I really marry someone?
Zachary will kill me if I do, won’t he?
The night passed before she even realized it.
Her phone suddenly rang while she was in a slumber. “Hello?” she asked, her eyes remaining shut.
“Charlotte! Have you seen the news?” Lily sounded incredibly excited.
“What?”
Still in a daze, Charlotte thought the woman was talking about yesterday’s news.
