However, before she could get out of bed to tear the bathrobe off Zachary’s body, he had already disappeared from the room.
She tried to sit up and yell his name, only for a maid to close the door behind him.
Charlotte collapsed onto the bed in disappointment. Guess I’ll just take the time to rest and recover for now. Everything else can wait.
Meanwhile, Zachary smirked when he returned to the safety of his own room as his lips curved into a bewitching smile.
She’s so adorable when she’s being an idiot!
Charlotte struggled to fall asleep that night, though it was nothing related to the pain from her wounds.
Her mind raced as she thought about the chip and Zachary, even though they were completely unrelated matters.
Nonetheless, both troubled her immensely.
When can I pull myself out of this mess?
The next morning, Charlotte woke up abruptly to the sound of her phone ringing. It was a call from her kids, and she calmed them down with a few quick words before hanging up.
The last thing she wanted was for someone else to find out about her kids. Considering the number of enemies the Windt Corporation had before their fall from grace, exposing her kids would spell disaster for her.
A few minutes later, Raina and her assistant walked in to change her bandages, and Zachary happened to walk by the moment the door opened.
Charlotte managed to catch a glimpse of him looking like a deity in his black suit and the morning sunlight.
He had been talking to someone on the phone when he walked by, and he glanced at Charlotte when he passed by her door.
They made eye contact, and his calmness contrasted greatly against her panicked gaze.
Zachary left in a hurry just seconds later, but she followed him with her eyes, trying her best to figure out if he had been the person she was with four years ago.
He doesn’t seem like someone who would willingly become those sugar mommies’ lapdog…
