An extended Rolls-Royce crawled away from the building.
Charlotte sat in the backseat, admiring the ruby necklace. It was almost the same as the one she sold, except for the gemstone color.
“Aren’t you sick of staring at that?” Zachary looked at her while swirling the wine in the glass elegantly.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her. His gaze traveled from her porcelain skin, up her flawless face and rosy lips that would make a grown man lose his mind.
He teased the hem of her dress with his leg. When she lifted her head and their eyes met, he asked her to sit closer.
Zachary’s casual seduction pulled Charlotte’s mind away from what had occurred at the auction. She blinked at him and mustered her courage to speak her mind. “Mr. Nacht…”
Her words stuck in her throat. After witnessing how he ruthless he was when dealing with those who had offended him, Charlotte began to hesitate.
I guess no woman has ever rejected the advances from a man of such a high social status. What if he chokes me to death on the spot just because I turn him down?
She trembled at the thought of what might happen to her if she said no.
“Yes?” Zachary teased her again with his leg.
“This… Take it back.” She handed the necklace to him.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he saw the accessory. The excitement gradually wore off and his expression turned cold. “What are you doing?”
“Mr. Nacht, I’m just a mere security guard at your company. I can’t accept this; it’s too valuable,” she said cautiously.
