Mysterious male escort is a mogul novel Chapter 1459

qA solemn expression surfaced on Nancy's face instantly. “It's a serious matter, so I do need some time to consider. Anyway, I'll give you a reply once I've finalized my decision!”

Zachary shot a glance at the banquet hall. “I hope your banquet isn't affected.”

She smiled while shaking her head. “No worries. Since we took care of everything at the back of the hall, the guests are completely oblivious to what had happened moments ago. However, Mr. Brown seems to be enraged.”

“Don't be bothered by him,” he replied nonchalantly. “I'm glad to hear that you're not affected.”

“I have to bear the responsibility for your previous injury as well, so I'm relieved for being able to help you lure out the culprit.” Nancy chuckled.

“It has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to feel sorry for that. All right, I'll be making a move first. See you.” Zachary flashed her a smile and walked away.

“Goodbye.” Nancy remained in the same spot and watched as their car sped off. Her eyes were gleaming with the usual affection toward the man.

Charlotte, staring at Nancy through the rearview mirror, could not help but feel uncomfortable.

“Are you jealous?” Zachary looked at her with a gentle gaze and held her hand.

“You seem to trust Nancy a lot. Why did you take the risk to request her to act out this show with you when you know that she has feelings for you?” she asked quizzically.

“I only wish to eliminate the lurking threats for you as soon as possible. No doubt, I'd still be able to get to the bottom of the matter if I carry on with my investigation, but I'm running out of time.” His nonchalance sent another wave of indecipherable mixed emotions into her heart, but she could not utter any words.

“Nancy might be a little crafty, but she's far from wicked. Not to mention, she's sensible and considerate. If you can develop a friendship with her, you'll surely stand to benefit from that!” Zachary added meaningfully.

In a split second, displeasure was written all over Charlotte's face. “Friendship, huh? I'll never develop one with her. You're praising her, aren't you? Do you mean to say that I'm insensible and inconsiderate?”

“Undoubtedly, you tend to be swayed by emotions...” He paused and tried to reassure her by saying, “Don't get me wrong...”

“Hmph!” Charlotte snorted, turning her back to him.
