Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1169

After Morgan had left the room, Charlotte probed the room herself. She found nothing out of place, and prepared to shower and sleep.

At that moment, Louis knocked on her door. “Charlotte, can I come in?”

Charlotte pulled on a cardigan and opened the door. “Louis, is something wrong?”

“I just wanted to check up on you. I hope the explosion didn’t scare you too much,” Louis said, his voice tinged with concern. “Paul has already investigated the incident. It was just a mere traffic accident; nothing to be worried about. However, I’ll still get the guards to increase their watch on the perimeters just to be safe.”

“Thanks for taking the trouble to do all that,” Charlotte said. “Good night, then. You should rest well.”

“I…” Louis hesitated. He seemed reluctant to leave.

“What’s wrong?” Charlotte narrowed her eyes at him.

“I…” Louis sounded nervous. “Well, there’s a bar in the manor. I wanted to invite you for a drink.”

“Now?” Charlotte frowned. “After what happened earlier today, it’s best for us not to go out so late.”

“Huh?” Louis looked confused. “What do you mean by ‘late’? It’s just a little past nine o’clock.”

“Let’s go another day, okay?” Charlotte said simply. “You should sleepy early. Good night.”

She did not wait for Louis to reply and closed the door on his face after saying that.

Louis stood on the other side of the door, feeling very disappointed. He had thought that they would spend more time with each other once they arrived at the manor.

However, Charlotte had not allowed him any chance to be alone with her. Every time he tried to approach her, she would find some excuse to avoid him. He had finally mustered up the courage to ask her out directly and she had still turned him down.

He had no other choice but to continue waiting on her patiently.

Louis sighed to himself and turned to leave.

Inside her room, Charlotte was stunned speechless by Louis’ invitation earlier. That man really has no sense of danger! He does not care about safety at all! He dares to ask me to go to a bar with him at a time when we should all be on high alert!
