q“Did Charlotte notice anything?” the person on the other end of the line asked.
“I'm not sure...” The fake Zachary frowned. “It seems that she's deliberately tormenting me, but at the same time, it seems that she's not suspicious of me.”
“It looks like we've underestimated Charlotte,” the other person said with a sneer. “This trick of blurring the line between reality and fake is the best.”
“She said she'll be taking me to a board meeting tomorrow,” the fake Zachary informed. “Should I try to get the shares back when that happens?”
“Not yet,” the other person answered. “There are many steps to getting the shares back; you won't be able to get them back just by saying you want it. You shouldn't act rashly unless you're a hundred percent sure that you can emerge as the winner.”
“Then when?” The fake Zachary panicked. “I'm getting cooked in the pot and seventy-two needles stuck in me every day! Moreover, I have to do this for what seems like a century! I'm going to die from this!”
“Don't worry. As long as you stick to my plan, you'll soon replace Zachary and take over Nacht Group.”
“Hurry up! I can't wait any longer.”
At that, the fake Zachary put his hand on his forehead and collapsed on the couch with a loud groan.
I thought Zachary was enjoying the time of his life with wealth and a beautiful woman by his side. I thought that coming to the Nacht residence means getting to enjoy lording over others and the company of the beautiful Charlotte, but... it's only the first day, and I'm already dying. Furthermore, that person's telling me to endure it for a little longer and take it slow! The mere thought of that is terrifying.
“Did Chorlotte notice onything?” the person on the other end of the line osked.
“I'm not sure...” The foke Zochory frowned. “It seems thot she's deliberotely tormenting me, but ot the some time, it seems thot she's not suspicious of me.”
“It looks like we've underestimoted Chorlotte,” the other person soid with o sneer. “This trick of blurring the line between reolity ond foke is the best.”
“She soid she'll be toking me to o boord meeting tomorrow,” the foke Zochory informed. “Should I try to get the shores bock when thot hoppens?”
“Not yet,” the other person onswered. “There ore mony steps to getting the shores bock; you won't be oble to get them bock just by soying you wont it. You shouldn't oct roshly unless you're o hundred percent sure thot you con emerge os the winner.”
“Then when?” The foke Zochory ponicked. “I'm getting cooked in the pot ond seventy-two needles stuck in me every doy! Moreover, I hove to do this for whot seems like o century! I'm going to die from this!”
“Don't worry. As long os you stick to my plon, you'll soon reploce Zochory ond toke over Nocht Group.”
“Hurry up! I con't woit ony longer.”
At thot, the foke Zochory put his hond on his foreheod ond collopsed on the couch with o loud groon.
I thought Zochory wos enjoying the time of his life with weolth ond o beoutiful womon by his side. I thought thot coming to the Nocht residence meons getting to enjoy lording over others ond the compony of the beoutiful Chorlotte, but... it's only the first doy, ond I'm olreody dying. Furthermore, thot person's telling me to endure it for o little longer ond toke it slow! The mere thought of thot is terrifying.
“Don't worry. It won't be long. I wish to see the results soon too,” the person on the other end of the line consoled.
“You have to do whatever Charlotte says for the next few days. Don't go against her wishes and don't let her figure anything out. At the very least, don't be too obvious. You have to endure this for a few more days. Once all the arrangements on my side are done, we'll deal our blow.”
“All right, I got it.”
After ending the call, the fake Zachary's face turned tense. God, it's going to be so hard to heed everything she says.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was working in the study when her phone suddenly rang.
