Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 744

Louis was even smiling charmingly at the camera with that kind of smile that countless women would definitely fall for.

On the contrary, Zachary frowned, and his face darkened as he stared at the picture and asked Bruce, “Ppfftt… Just look at his face! He thinks he’s so good-looking and all that, huh?”

Bruce was at a loss for words and looked at Zachary rather submissively. “Eh-hem… Are you jealous, Mr. Nacht? Might I remind you that he’s your only friend?”

It was true that Zachary had been aloof and arrogant since young. His unapproachable temperament left him with very few friends, and because of that, Louis was his only true friend.

Louis was two years younger than Zachary. From an early age, he had been cautiously protected and unduly pampered. Hence, he grew up in a strict household, where there were all sorts of rules imposed on his life, studies, and even his social circles.

He was raised in the castle and seldom explored the world outside. Everyone he knew was but the noble and prominent men from the upper echelon of the society. Due to conflicts of interests, others from the royal family were somewhat scheming against him.

Apart from that, some businessmen were too mercenary and guileful, and Louis couldn’t really associate with them.

Thus, Zachary was the only one whom he could actually confide in. Even though he appeared a little distant, he would never plot against Louis at the very least.

Besides, they were like the two poles in dualism. While one was reticent, another was expansive. They contrasted each other like ice and fire.

Nevertheless, contemporaneously, the glaring polarity between them was also complementary. Hence, by degrees, a seedling of friendship grew between them.

“And you, Mr. Nacht, are also his only friend,” Bruce added.

Zachary frowned in bewilderment. “What do you mean by that?”

“The two of you always hang out with each other… It makes me wonder if you guys are, perhaps…”

“Bruce!” Zachary cut Bruce off and asked very solemnly, “Do you know why I’ve always arranged for you to work outside?”

“Is it because I’m not a smooth-talker like Ben?”

Bruce himself was also curious about this. He came to the Nacht family together with Ben, and both of them started working for Zachary ever since. Nevertheless, he was always stationed outside, and Ben always seemed to get to stay around Zachary.

He broke his back, but the outcome was often unenviable. On the other hand, Ben could please Zachary effortlessly.

In his opinion, Ben was always in the desired position, and if they were not brothers, he might have long been dissatisfied with such differential treatment.

“You’re bullheaded and not versatile enough.” Zachary eyed him detachedly. “Ben is much more agile than you.”

“I get it now…” Bruce lowered his gloomed face.

“From now on, stay quiet and don’t talk when you’re not required to,” Zachary ordered menacingly.

“Yes.” Bruce lowered his head and went silent.
