"Sharon!" Zachary came out to personally welcome her and even opened his arms wide.
Sharon shoved a spaced-out Charlotte aside and ran in her heels toward Zachary before leaping into his arms.
Charlotte was in a complete daze as she witnessed the ordeal.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to H City?"
Zachary led Sharon into the meeting room with an arm around her shoulder.
"I wanted to give you a surprise!"
Sharon sounded as soft as cotton candy while she spoke, and her eyes couldn't stop shining.
"Well, you've succeeded."
Charlotte remained in a daze even after Zachary's figure disappeared from her sight.
Am I seeing things?Am I hallucinating?
The mighty, defiant Zachary Nacht, who always treated others like they were beneath him, had never once personally welcomed a guest, let alone behave so affectionately in front of everyone.
No one's ever going to believe it if he says there's nothing going on between the two of them!
But... Didn't he just make love to me so passionately two mornings ago? Then, he took care of me at night, and we slept in each other's arms. Why is he being so nice to another woman now?Besides, didn't he say I'd be the only woman for him?Who is this Sharon, then?
"Charlotte. Charlotte! Charlotte!"
Lucy called out to her three times, but it was only after giving her a light shove that the latter finally returned to her senses. "Huh?"
"Why are you spacing out like that?" Lucy growled with her brows creased. "You just got back after such a long break. Why are you still behaving this way?"
"Sorry, I..."
"You'd better stop that, or you are looking for the ax," Lucy warned. "Snap out of it and come help out in the meeting room."
"Okay."
Charlotte drank a glass of water and took a deep breath. Then, she followed Lucy into the meeting room.
