Charlotte’s stance was a little shaken. Anyhow, she brought up another critical point, “You’re in big trouble if Danrique knows about this…”
“What can he do to me? End my life?” Zachary disagreed, “He barely has any free time to worry about me, given the current mess he’s in. Even if he knows I’m here, he’ll only lash out on you at most, and then request that you kick me out of the house.”
After mulling over, Charlotte thought that what he said made sense. The Lindbergs and the Nachts have always been at war with each other. If anything bad happens to either of the head of the house, the police will surely investigate the other family. When that happens, the other party will probably be the biggest suspect, and none of these can be resolved easily…
After all, this group of rich and famous are so used to standing at the top of the food chain. They disregard any form of secret attacks but prefer to beat their rivals in business. Therefore, their battleground is in the trading realm. No one will really strike the other with a weapon openly.
“That’s it. This matter is finalized.” Seeing that Charlotte had been convinced, Zachary strode toward the bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower. Bruce will help to bring my suitcase up in a bit.”
“Hey!” She grabbed his collar and yanked him back. “This is my room. Yours is the guest room.”
“Your room is huge. It’s such a waste to sleep here alone. Let me keep you company,” Zachary proposed shamelessly. “It’s the rainy season now. You’ll be scared to your wits when the thunder roars…”
Before he could finish, she kicked him out of the room and shut the door with a loud thud.
Her action left Zachary speechless.
“Mr. Nacht, your suitcase is here,” Bruce announced.
Instantly, Zachary turned and spoke in an icy tone, “Place it in the guest room.”
“Noted.” Bruce noticed his mood was off, but he did not dare to ask his boss any question.
“This way, please.” Upon learning that Charlotte did not drive Zachary away, Lupine knew that she had acquiesced to his decision of staying. Hence, she led him to the guest room above Charlotte’s floor. “Mr. Nacht, you and your subordinates can occupy these rooms.”
“Why am I not placed on the second floor?” displeased, Zachary questioned.
Lupine explained, “Second floor is reserved for Mr. Lindberg, Ms. Lindberg, and the three children. The study room and other facilities are also located on the second floor. Morgan and I are on the third floor, the same floor as the guest rooms. Ms. Lindberg’s room is just right below yours.”
