q“It's ready.” Lucy handed an exquisite-looking box to Zachary.
“Good, go make the necessary arrangements now,” he ordered.
“Yes, Mr. Nacht.”
After she left, Zachary opened the box. Staring at the documents inside, he fell into deep thought.
Despite being fully cognizant that he was making a risky move, he was still willing to gamble.
Ring! Ring!
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was Nancy.
Zachary picked up at once. “Hello?”
“Mr. Nacht, I'll be seeing you tonight.”
Although her voice sounded distant compared to before, there was a hint of unmistakable anticipation to it.
Ever since Zachary spoke with her frankly, she had stopped bothering him.
At the end of the day, she was a highly educated and cultured lady of a prominent family. No matter how deeply she loved Zachary, she would not cling to him out of desperation.
She was well aware that clinging onto someone like Zachary would only breed resentment within him.
As a result, she chose to give up on courting him. Even if she had to be tortured by her unrequited love every single night, it was better than having him loathe her.
Although they could not be together, she still wanted him to have a good impression of her.
Perhaps, she might still stand a chance in the future.
“See you tonight too,” Zachary replied.
After ending the call, he continued to work.
While he was occupying himself with the documents, he heard the doorbell ring. However, that person did not announce their identity.
Glancing at the security camera live feed on the computer beside him, he was taken by surprise. After using the voice command to open the door, he stood up to welcome his guest. “Why did you come over?”
“Hubby!” Charlotte entered with a smile while holding two lunch boxes in her hands. “Are you hungry? I made you lunch. Come try it quickly.”
