q“What is it? Why are you so fearful for me to read them?” Charlotte was amused.
“Hurry up and sign it already.” Zachary was getting impatient. “Are you worried that I might trick you?”
“No, it's not that.” She knew he had no malicious intention against her. So, she signed her name on the document as he had requested. Subsequently, Zachary handed her a stamp pad for her to affix her thumbprint.
As soon as she had completed the signature, Zachary removed his hand on the contract. Charlotte was stunned when she read the title. It was a stock transfer agreement!
Baffled, she asked, “What's this? What are you trying to do?”
“Are you scared that I'm selling you off?” he teased her while packing away the contract. “Don't worry, a skinny woman like you isn't worth much. Moreover, I'm reluctant to let you go.”
Then, he kissed her forehead and left the room.
“Where are you going?” Charlotte called out for him.
“To the study room. I'll be back in a jiffy.” He did not even turn his head.
All he wanted to do as soonest possible was to sort out his post-death matters, including matters related to his will.
Otherwise, he was afraid that the remaining time he had was not sufficient for him to list down the handover matters for such a big corporation.
Although Charlotte did not see what was written on the papers, she was well aware of his intentions and purpose in doing so.
He knows that he doesn't have much time left. So, he's making all the necessary arrangements within the limited time that he has.
The more she thought about it, the more worked up she became. Coincidentally, Hayley called.
“Hi, Hayley,” Charlotte answered right away.
“Charlotte! It's great to hear from you again. Is everything okay?”
Many things had happened after Charlotte was rescued from Louis who kidnapped her. She had not had a proper chance to call Hayley and only had her subordinate pass a message.
“I'm fine,” Charlotte replied. “I'm sorry for not calling you sooner, Hayley. These couple of days have been crazy. Nonetheless, did you get the message I sent via a subordinate?”
“Yes, I did. I was informed that you were fine, but I still wanted to verify it with you in person.” Hayley heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you.” A fuzzy feeling rose within Charlotte. “Hayley, did Dr. Felch leave behind any books related to medicines? Is there anything written about curing poisons? Additionally, do you know if he had a way to contact Francesco?”
“He did leave some books behind, but I'm unsure if they are helpful to you.” Hayley continued, “As for Francesco's contact, I really have no idea. Let me go look for it. Coincidentally, I'm sorting out Dr. Felch's belongings lately.”
“I'll pay a visit one of these days.” Charlotte was feeling hopeful. “Don't chuck away his stuff, they might come in handy.”
