Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 6

All of a sudden, it felt like the surrounding temperature had dropped a few degrees.

The man was tall and looked like a Greek god. He stood behind her imposingly and exuded an intimidating aura.

Charlotte bit her lip hard. She was subconsciously holding her breath. Through the reflection of the mirror in the elevator, she saw the man gazing at her sharply.

He looks like a lion staring at its prey.

Hurry, hurry!

Charlotte gazed at the number flashing on the elevator screen, hoping to quickly escape this suffocating place.

Thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten…

She counted the numbers silently, her heart thumping furiously. Unbeknownst to her, Zachary was inching nearer to her.

Ding! Finally, the elevator reached the ground floor.

Once the doors opened, she scurried out. She was in such a hurry that she tripped and fell down.

Splat! She collapsed face down like a frog.

Everyone outside gasped in shock. A few employees who had just exited the normal elevator covered their mouths and sniggered.

Charlotte was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. She scrambled to her feet clumsily and ran out, covering her face.

Behind her, the man looked at her retreating figure as a smirk flitted across his lips.

Charlotte thought the welcome party would be a dinner in a restaurant, but it turned out to be a drinking session at Sultry Night. To her surprise, Wesley was also there.

This is the administration department’s gathering. Why is someone from the HR department here?

Charlotte wasn’t happy about it, but her colleagues were present, so she wasn’t about to chase him out rudely.

Wesley had already introduced himself to her colleagues. He also ordered bottles of expensive liquor, which were currently placed around the table.
