Chapter 1316

Raina ended the call in a hurry and shot Zachary a nervous look. “I-I don't think Ms. Lindberg heard that.”

“I'm really sorry, Mr. Nacht. I didn't know Dr. Langhan was in the middle of a call,” Lucy apologized at once. “Mr. Sterk needs this urgent document, so I...”

“Enough.” Zachary took the document and signed his name with a flair. “Leave me alone.”

“Yes.”

Quiet and peace ensued once again after both ladies retreated.

Zachary continued drinking his wine.

Right then, Ben came back hastily and said, “I've sent Sir Robert off. When I mentioned that you will compensate for the cars, he nearly exploded in rage.” He flashed a mischievous grin.

“Find out if Louis is in H City,” Zachary ordered gloomily.

“Huh?” Ben was startled. He bobbed his head slightly after realizing what his boss wanted. “I'll do it now.”

At the same time, Charlotte stared at her phone, feeling a turmoil of emotions.

That was Lucy talking to Zachary. It means Raina is in the president's office on the sixty-eight floor of Divine Corporation. Raina asked for Zachary's help to convince Dr. Wright to come to H City so she could treat Olivia. No wonder Dr. Wright only agreed to come today. If Raina was capable enough of inviting her, she would've done so earlier instead of waiting until today.

She sighed, realizing she had owed Zachary yet another favor.

Charlotte was deep in thought when the car suddenly rolled to a stop as Jade shrieked, “Eh? Isn't this Sir Louis?”

Her heart sank as she looked up. Indeed, Louis' white Bentley was parked not far away.

“Ms. Lindberg.” Lupine turned, waiting for Charlotte's orders.

Her brows scrunched together, Charlotte pushed the door open and got off the car.

At the same time, the door to the other car opened, revealing Louis as he stepped out of the car. It was barely half a month since they last met, but he had lost so much weight and seemed sallow and thin. Contrary to his previous bubbly and youthful self, there was now a dispirited air about him.

The light was gone from his cornflower blue eyes.

He was staring at her as about a dozen expressions crossed his face.

“Louis, you—”

“Let's talk,” Louis cut in.

“Sure.” Charlotte bobbed her head slightly. She turned to Jade and ordered, “Bring the fish back home. Lupine and I will ride in Louis' car.”

“Ms. Lindberg...” Jade was concerned.

“Go,” Charlotte said, and there was a finality to her tone that warned Jade not to finish her sentence.

“Yes.”

Jade looked at Lupine, who signaled at her with her eyes. Left with no choice, she drove back to Northridge alone.

“Come on. Let's find someplace quiet to talk in private.”

Charlotte climbed into Louis' car with Lupine behind her.
