NovelEnglish“I didn’t know you guys are such gossip lovers.” Zachary was getting impatient. “Are you leaving or
not?”
“Alright, alright, let’s go.” Louis relented after Zachary got angry. “But we want to talk about the project.”
“Let’s take this to your place.” Zachary forcibly pushed them out, and Ben told the servants to close the
door immediately.
Cain and Kyle finally managed to break free from being caught up by Marino, but when they arrived,
Zachary was already gone like the wind.
“I told you it’s just Louis and his girlfriend. You gossip lovers, you,” Marino teased.
“Something seems odd.” They thought something was off, but they didn’t pry any further.
“Just go in.”
“Mr. Nacht, your girlfriend would be left alone if you come with us, won’t she?” Charlotte poked fun at
him, but all Zachary did was look at her coldly.

second.”
“True.” Charlotte smirked. “It’s not even ten. We won’t disturb their night.”
“Someone seems jealous.” Zachary approached her, his gaze passionate. “I can stay with you if you
want.”
“Why you…” Charlotte’s face turned scarlet.
“What are you doing, Zachary?” Louis quickly sat between them, separating Zachary from Charlotte.
“Stop this. She’s my girlfriend.”
“I wonder if that’s the case.” Zachary arched his eyebrow.
“What does that have to do with you?” Charlotte glared back.
“Of course it has something to do with me.” He teased, “I want you.”
What the heck? Louis was shocked. “Are you for real?”
Charlotte was equally shocked. She thought she was hearing things.
“Consider it, Charlotte.” He shoved Louis away and closed in on her. “I know you better than Louis
does.”
“Zachary, what are you doing?”
“You’re joking.” Charlotte frowned, glaring back at him with doubt. “You can’t have fallen for me, can
you?”
“Let’s see…” Zachary smirked. “If I hadn’t fallen for you, how did you take down the South Sea
territorial waters?
“If I hadn’t fallen for you, why did I tolerated your behavior? And that I let you go despite the fact you
lost that night? Do you really think an eagle’s enough to stop me?
“If I hadn’t fallen for you, why do you think I was in a hurry to save you back then?
“If I hadn’t fallen for you, why do you think I didn’t kill you when you came to my home with your pet
eagle?
“If I hadn’t fallen for you, why do you think you can still sit with us despite telling Louis to pull off all that

“Why do you think that is the case?”
Charlotte couldn’t come up with any rebuttal for that, and Louis was aghast, while Morgan the driver
was sweating from her palms. Lupine frowned as if an enemy was behind her.
Ben kept quiet, though he looked at his employer knowingly. He knew there were two reasons Zachary
was doing that. One, he was worried that Louis might take Charlotte for himself, and two, he was
worried Charlotte might cause a lot of trouble for the Nacht Group if she kept it up. When that time
came, he’d be hard-pressed to take action against her, except that he wouldn’t be able to. That’d pose
a big problem.
“You must be kidding, Zachary.” Louis finally snapped out of it and was agitated. “I thought you have a
girlfriend now. Why’d you fall for Charlotte?”
“She’s not my girlfriend,” Zachary answered curtly.
“What a joke.” Charlotte was infuriated. “You think you can kick me out of the partnership with that kind
of cheap trick? I gave Louis my money, so I am not—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Zachary held the back of her head and kissed her.
