NovelEnglishWhen the man in charge saw that Charlotte had help from a professional, he immediately sent all his
men against him at once.
They weren’t a match for Zachary’s skills, however. In just a few minutes, they all collapsed under
Zachary’s hand. One of them even flew and landed heavily on their windshield before sliding onto the
ground below.
Charlotte hadn’t expected Zachary to be such a good fighter. Amidst her surprise, she started feeling
suspicious about Zachary’s true identity.
Once the man in charge noticed how things were no longer going in his favor, he quickly pulled out his
gun and aimed it at Zachary. “Don’t move, or I’ll shoot!”
“Wait, don’t-” Charlotte stepped forward, but Zachary immediately pushed her behind him.
“Are you going to shoot me?” Zachary narrowed his eyes dangerously and walked close to the other
man. “I’d like to see you try.”
“Who are you?” the man cocked his gun.

“That’s not important,” Zachary said as he closed in on the man. His eyes flashed with a murderous
glint. “All you have to know is that you can’t afford to mess with me.”
“You-” the man stammered in anger. He was about to shoot when he caught a closer glimpse at
Zachary’s eyes. He instantly recognized who it was. “Z-”
His hands started to shake as his gaze started becoming panicky.
Right at that moment, Zachary snatched his gun away swiftly and pressed it against the other man’s
temple.
“Mr. N-” the man started but changed as soon as he saw Zachary’s warning glare. “Don’t shoot!”
“Get out of here!” Zachary jerked his head in the direction of the fallen men.
The man in charge called for all his subordinates, and they ran off with their tails between their legs.
They had only just left when Lupine reached. The team of women rushed off their cars and ran toward
Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Charlotte shook her head and reached a hand out to Zachary.
Zachary tossed the gun toward Charlotte and patted his clothes down, which had been messed up by
the fight.
Charlotte observed the gun closely and said in slight confusion, “This gun is from M Nation. Zachary’s
subordinates seem to obey the law enough that they don’t often use guns. Could those men be under
someone else?”
Finally! Thank God I got my hands on a gun so you could check for yourself.
Instead of saying that out loud, Zachary chose to ask, “How complicated. Who exactly did you mess
with?”
“None of your business.” Charlotte glared at him and tossed the gun to Lupine. “Wait for me in the car.”
“Understood.” The bodyguards all got back into the car.
Charlotte turned to look at Zachary. “Thank you for the help.”
“No biggie,” Zachary said with a smile. “So is our beach date still on or what?”
“Sadly, I have other things to take care of.” Charlotte checked her watch and pointed at the Pagani’s
tire. “Should I call the insurance company or-”

“Alright,” Charlotte said as she looked at him. Suddenly, she felt like hugging him but held herself back
and walked away.
“Hey!” Zachary called out.
Charlotte turned. “What?”
“Did you forget something?”
Zachary’s eyes softened with love, and he reached out to pull her into his embrace. Then, his warm lips
landed on hers.
A rush of emotions overwhelmed her like a tornado, and she melted into his arms once again.
“Huh?”
In the car, Morgan was watching them with wide eyes.
“Gosh!” Lupine marveled and shook her head. “They move fast, don’t they?”
“Love really is fast and furious,” Morgan said in admiration.
“Did you suddenly become some love expert?” Lupine rolled her eyes at her and frowned. “If Mr.
Lindberg hears about this, he’ll be furious.”
“You’re right,” Lupine said in realization. “He did mention that Ms. Lindberg was only allowed to date Sir
Louis.”
