“You speak very good Chanaean.”
Zachary finally said something to the ladies on parade.
“Thank you. Do you still remember me-”
“Mr. Nacht, I speak Chanaean too.”
Before the girl could continue, she was interrupted by one of the other ladies.
The ladies did whatever it took to gain Zachary’s attention.
However, Zachary didn’t pay much attention to the first girl. After finishing with his initial sentence, he averted his gaze and continued drinking.
It felt as if no matter what the ladies did, they weren’t able to pique his interest at all.
“Ms. Lindberg, let’s go over.” Lupine grew anxious. “If we don’t, Mr. Nacht will probably end up choosing someone.”
“Let him choose then.” Charlotte remained calm. “If he really likes any of them, even I can’t stop him.”
“But…” Lupine reminded, “Don’t you want to negotiate with him?”
“I know. But, if I go now, it would be troublesome if I’m recognized.” Charlotte lowered her head to take a sip of wine. “I’ll see him when he is alone.”
“What if he has one of the ladies by his side by then?” Lupine questioned.
Charlotte’s hand that was holding the wine glass stiffened while her eyes flashed with panic for a fleeting moment. However, she quickly regained her composure. “In that case, I’ll talk to him only after he’s done. Perhaps, he will be in a good mood by then and no longer feel that I owe him. Consequently, he will stop being unreasonable after that.”
Stumped, Lupine had nothing to retort with. She knew that Charlotte was only saying those words out of spite. Furthermore, Lupine was cognizant that Charlotte was in a dilemma as she didn’t know how to face Zachary.
However, at the rate they were going, their plan would fail.
Just then, someone cried out, “Hey, there are another two ladies over there.”
Caught by surprise, Lupine looked over and realized that one of the businessmen had noticed her and Charlotte on his way back from the men’s.
Charlotte knitted her eyebrows. Well d*mn, we’ve been spotted. I guess we have no choice but to go over now.
“Why aren’t the two of you here?” Theo yelled. “Come over quickly!”
