NovelEnglishCharlotte was caught off guard by the kiss and stared at Zachary in wide-eyed disbelief.
She froze up, unable to react.
It all felt very surreal and yet so familiar…
At the same time, both Louis and Ben were taken aback and looked on in astonishment. Ben, however,
quickly recovered and averted his gaze.
Morgan, who had witnessed it all from the driver’s seat, was just as startled. She momentarily lost
control of the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve violently.
The sudden swerve brought Charlotte back to her senses. She tried to push Zachary away, but he was
just too strong.
The more she struggled, the louder the buzzing in her head was. In a moment of panic, she bit down
hard on his lips.
Her bite drew blood and left a metallic taste in her mouth.
Though reluctant, Zachary finally let go of Charlotte. He cupped her face and gently brushed her lips
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith his thumb.
“B*stard!” Charlotte raised her hand, ready to strike him.
Zachary grabbed her wrist in time and pulled her into his arms. “What’s wrong? Haven’t had enough?”
“You… “ Charlotte wasn’t sure if she was red from anger or embarrassment.
“Zachary, you’ve gone overboard!” Louis exclaimed as he hurriedly pushed him away and shielded
Charlotte from him. “Even I have never kissed Charlotte, how dare you… “
“That’s good to know.” Zachary nodded smugly. “We can remain as buddies.”
“What?” Louis went berserk at his display of arrogance. “Who wants to be buddies with you? You’re a
girlfriend-stealing piece of sh*t!”
“Give it up. You aren’t suitable for each other,” Zachary replied sternly.
The rage built up inside of Louis rendered him speechless.
“Pull over!” Charlotte suddenly ordered.
Once Morgan stopped the car, Lupine immediately got out to open the door.
“Get out!” Charlotte bellowed as she continued to glare at him.
“Weren’t we supposed to discuss a collaboration?” Zachary replied, his mouth curled into a shameless
grin.
“I said – GET! OUT!” Charlotte screamed while trying to kick him.
Zachary managed to dodge her attack and got out of the car.
Ben swiftly followed behind, only to have Lupine surprise him with a kick to his butt.
The kick almost sent him flying, but Ben remained silent as he gritted his teeth in anger.
Lupine shot him a death stare as she got back into the car.
With that, the Rolls-Royce sped off.
The Nacht family car that had been following behind this whole time promptly pulled over. The
subordinates stood around in bewilderment, unaware of what had happened.
Meanwhile, Zachary smirked as he looked at the Rolls-Royce in the distance.
“Mr. Nacht, what are you trying to achieve with this?” Ben whined.
“Isn’t this good?” Zachary snickered. “Louis doesn’t want me around Charlotte, and Charlotte now
thinks I’m a pervert. Because of that, the chances of her backing out of the project are very high. Their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminterest in Cynthia seems to have died down too, so I can fully concentrate on my work.”
“That’s true.” Ben nodded.
“The most important thing is… “ Zachary cocked his eyebrow. “The kiss was so intense for her that
Louis would always be second to me.”
Ben was so impressed with Zachary’s wit that he couldn’t hide his excitement. “Killing three birds with
one stone! Brilliant!”
In the meantime, Raina had been waiting in the yard when Zachary returned to the villa. Upon seeing
him, Raina immediately rushed toward him. “Mr. Nacht, I have failed you.”
Raina had heard from Marino that Charlotte and Louis had spotted Cynthia due to her negligence. She
decided it’d be better to own up to her mistake first than to have Zachary find it out himself.
“Thankfully, it was from a distance, so they only saw a silhouette,” Zachary replied coldly. “You’ve
always been very conscientious, so I don’t want you making any more mistakes.
“Yes. I understand,” Raina said, her head bowed in apology.
“I’ll overlook it this time. Don’t let it happen again,” Zachary warned, his voice still cold and hard.
“Yes, Mr. Nacht.”
