“Mr. Nacht, I just looked into the matter and it is as Ms. Gold had said. Sir Louis is missing, and he was diagnosed with depression. It seemed that the family is hiding a huge secret as well,” reported Ben hurriedly at that moment.
“I want the specifics! D*rn it, is that all you have to tell me after I told you to investigate the matter?” scolded Zachary.
“Right, of course. I'll further investigate the matter...”
“Leave!”
Zachary was losing his temper and was getting frustrated again.
His most recent injury showed him that Charlotte still cared, and their relationship was getting better.
However, he learned about how there was a secret between Louis and Charlotte. That got him agitated once more.
He thought about what he saw at the time in the hotel in Arkfield, and a sting ambushed his heart. It hurt so much that he felt like he was suffocating.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Nacht. I shouldn't have shared all that with you. I was just worried that Sir Louis will hurt you and wanted to warn you,” said Nancy while staring apologetically over.
“I understand. Thank you,” replied Zachary. He regained his footing and added, “I have been busy working on my own matter lately and forgot about keeping an eye on the situation. Hence, I'm glad you reminded me.”
“I'm just doing my part,” replied Nancy as she stared lovingly at him, “By the way, my project is kicking off on the first of next month. I'll throw a banquet then. If you recover by then...”
“There's still nine more days till the banquet. I should be fine and will be there,” promised Zachary.
“That's good to know,” said Nancy while smiling happily. She handed the invitation card to him and added, “We've only invited thirty guests for this event, and they are all business tycoons. My father will be there too. You'll be the most prestigious guest we have there, though, so I truly wish to see you there.”
“Okay, I'll be there on time,” replied Zachary as he accepted the invitation card.
“Then I better leave now so that I won't disrupt your rest,” said Nancy as she stood up and added in a concerned tone, “You must rest well. If you haven't recovered when the month ends, maybe...”
“Don't worry, I'll be there,” promised Zachary once again.
“Pinky promise,” requested Nancy before she extended her hand to him.
