Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 778

Spencer was looking through the ajar door and saw Cynthia lying on the bed, while Zachary leaned closer. Then she hugged him and they kissed

Ahem. Someone coughed, and Spencer scurried away, though not without casting a death glare at Ben. Ben only shrugged, and he went to close the door.

Their lips were about to touch, but Zachary instinctively pushed her away. He could pretend to be in a relationship with Cynthia, provided there was no direct contact with her, as he would be repulsed by any kind of skin contact.

Cynthia gesticulated, ‘I didn’t mean it. Someone was peeping on us, so I—’

“I know,” Zachary interrupted. “It was Spencer.”

Shocked, Cynthia bit her lip and nodded.

“Thank you.” Zachary left the bed. “Sleep tight.”

Ben was waiting for him outside. “Mr. Spencer has gone back to his room,” he reported once Zachary came out.

Zachary closed the door, but instead of going back to his bedroom, he went to the study. Ben poured a glass of wine for him. “You’re pretending to be in a relationship with Ms. Cynthia so Mr. Henry will leave you alone, aren’t you?”

“You noticed too?” Zachary arched his eyebrow.

“I’ve been working for you for a long time now, so that much is obvious for me.” Ben smiled. “The same thing goes for Mr. Henry. You can’t fool him with half-hearted acting.”

Zachary frowned. True. I did tell him I’d try to date her, but if I don’t go a mile further, that sly old fox isn’t gonna buy it.

“You might have to go to the extremes if you want Mr. Henry to leave you alone,” Ben reminded him carefully.

“What do you mean I have to be aggressive?” Zachary barked, “Insolence.”

“My apologies, Sir.” Ben bowed.

…

When they had breakfast the next morning, Ben asked Cynthia if she’d like to go with Zachary on a stay in Ashenville Garden. Of course, Henry was there to listen in. Ben even told her the hot spring there could help with her recovery.

Henry arched his eyebrow. “Go get some fresh air, Cynthia. Staying at home all the time isn’t good for your health.”

‘Okay!’ Cynthia was still hesitant, but not after Henry encouraged her to go. She smiled. ‘Thanks for having me, Ben.’

“No prob. I’ll tell Mr. Nacht about it, and Raina’s going to go get prepared.

Ben was about to leave for the preparations, but Henry suddenly said, “I can’t let her go alone. Take Cain and Kyle with you.”

Just as Mr. Nacht has predicted. ”Of course,” Ben obliged.
