At the sudden change of topic, both Lupine and Morgan’s expressions started darkening. They turned back and no longer thought the kissing couple was romantic; rather, they started worrying for them.
In the meantime, Zachary wasn’t willing to let Charlotte go for a long time. He held her cheek in one hand gently and ran his thumb over her lips. “Go do what you have to do. If you need any help, I’m always here for you,” he said gently.
“Okay.” Charlotte nodded and turned to leave.
Zachary watched her leave as his gaze slowly became undecipherable.
Soon, Charlotte disappeared from his sight.
Ben rushed over with Zachary’s subordinates right at that moment. “Mr. Nacht, are you alright?”
They had been secretly following Zachary while keeping their distance.
It was obvious that a fight had taken place based on their surroundings, and the bullet hole in the Pagani’s tire was pretty obvious.
“I’m fine,” Zachary tossed the Pagani’s keys to Marino. “Park this car at Happy Avenue after getting it fixed.”
“Understood.” Marino drove the Pagani off. Its automatic protection system meant it could still be used for a short amount of time even after one of its tires flattened.
After they got in the car, Ben asked carefully, “What happened just now? Was someone chasing you?”
“They were probably sent by Zara,” Zachary said with a frown.
“How could Ms. Nacht have gotten wind of Ms. Lindberg’s arrival so quickly? What was she thinking? Why did she want to send people after her? Also, does she know that Ms. Lindberg is actually Ms. Windt?”
Ben shot a string of questions, all of them similar to what Zachary was thinking at that moment.
