Lupine brought Sultry Night’s manager, Peter Jones, to Charlotte.
The moment Peter spotted her, his lips parted wide in disbelief. “It’s her?”
“Do you know her?” asked Lupine curiously.
“I…”
Peter blinked, utterly shocked. For a moment, he thought he was seeing things.
Two years ago, he heard how Olivia, Charlotte, and Mrs. Berry perished after an accident.
Back then, he dared not ask any questions.
However, it was obvious that the Nacht family wanted to keep the kids and got rid of Charlotte and Mrs. Berry.
For the past two years, he was careful enough not to offend Zachary.
From then on, Zachary never showed up in Sultry Night anymore.
Hence, he was able to remain here as the manager.
That day, to Peter’s utter surprise, Zachary showed up. He served the man personally, and nothing out of the ordinary happened. When Lupine asked Peter about the Noir Room, he tried to brush the former off, but Lupine revealed her identity.
After getting to know Lupine’s identity, Peter dared not offend her and said he would explain to Lupine’s employer himself.
He never expected that Ms. Lindberg was none other than Charlotte Windt.
Peter was puzzled. How is it possible that she doesn’t know who that room belongs to? Why did she send her subordinate to sound me out?
“What’s wrong?” Lupine glanced at him.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Being a seasoned veteran, Peter thought that the reason Charlotte didn’t reveal her identity was because she didn’t want to admit what she had done back then. Hence, there was no need for him to explain things.
He pretended not to know Charlotte and greeted her politely, “Hello, Ms. Lindberg!”
Charlotte’s head whipped around. She found him familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.
“Ms. Lindberg, I’ve arranged a booth for you. Please come with me.”
After leading Charlotte and her entourage to the booth, he served them a bottle of liquor on the house. “Ms. Lindberg, please wait for a moment. Your private room will be ready soon.”
