Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 444

“Why did you suddenly wanna move here?” Charlotte asked curiously.

“Because of you…” Zachary stopped the words at the tip of his tongue and quickly corrected, “Because you’re annoying. You woke me up so early and disrupted my sleep. I thought I might as well just move here so that I can sleep a little longer.”

Charlotte noticed the way he was feigning indifference and couldn’t help but giggle. “So, you wanna be closer to me and see me every day. Is that it?”

“Don’t flatter yourself.” Zachary wore a disdainful look on his face.

“Oh? I’ll leave then.” Charlotte turned toward the door, pretending to leave.

“Don’t you dare.” Zachary snagged her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

Due to the momentum, Charlotte fell on his lap, bringing their faces inches away from each other. She could even clearly see her reflection in his eyes.

Zachary cupped her cheek with one hand and gently rubbed her lips with his thumb. “Why is your face swollen?”

Only then did Charlotte recall that she had been slapped by Sharon earlier. Anger surged in her chest and she grumbled, “It’s no thanks to you.”

“Huh?” Zachary frowned. “Sharon hit you?”

“I slapped her back.” Charlotte proudly lifted her chin up.

“I see you’ve finally grown a pair.” The corner of Zachary’s lips tugged upward.

“Is that a compliment?” Surprise flashed across Charlotte’s eyes.

“Of course.” Zachary grasped her chin and declared a serious tone, “My woman is no pushover. If someone hits you, you hit them back!”

Silence ensued.
