Charlotte gave it a thought. If Zachary found out that so many colleagues knew about my boyfriend, he’ll definitely get annoyed and distance himself from me.
“Alright, dinner’s on me!” Charlotte nodded with a smile.
“Let’s just skip dinner, let’s head over to Sultry Night for drinks!” Yolanda proposed. “We ladies need to cut down our weight, so no dinner tonight! We celebrate with alcohol!”
“Yeah. Mr. Holt’s not here anymore, we won’t do what he did for sure,” one of the male colleagues spoke.
“You’re right! Last time Mr. Holt ordered so many expensive liquor and it costed Charlotte a fortune! We’re not gonna do that.”
Hearing those words, Yolanda’s gaze turned cold for a moment before returning back to normal. “I have some coupons here, so we can get loads of discounts.”
“That works too. Sultry Night it is then!” Charlotte agreed heartily.
As the flock came out of the elevator, they kept Charlotte surrounded and chattered nonstop, singing praises of her every step of the way.
Charlotte had an awkward smile the whole time and did not know how to reply besides thanking them. Only Yolanda was acting normally and not as pretentious.
At that moment, Charlotte thought that Yolanda might be the best colleague out of all of them there.
“Huh? Isn’t that Mr. Nacht?” one of them alarmed everyone. “Quick, stop talking and step aside.”
Everyone there immediately went quiet and lined up at the side.
As Zachary walked by, they lowered their head and greeted him, “Mr. Nacht!”
Zachary took a glimpse of Charlotte as he walked by.
Charlotte looked at his back and that gut feeling came floating back up. So similar…
Ring! Ring!
Her phone interrupted her thought process. It was Gigolo In Debt. “Hello!” Charlotte picked up the phone.
“You out yet?”
While he was talking, Charlotte looked towards Zachary. He did not have his phone with him and was giving out orders to Ben quietly.
