Hector seemed to be a little surprised that Charlotte would call him.
After listening to what she had to say, Hector replied with a sigh, “When I left the kindergarten that day, I told Luna firmly to return the necklace to you, and she told me that she would. I have been busy with work for the past few days, and I haven’t been home much, so I didn’t know that she was causing so much trouble... “
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t bother you with this.”
Charlotte could hear the weariness in Hector’s voice.
“No, no. I’m not bothered. I’m actually quite happy that you’d call me for help,” Hector replied gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this. When they come back, I promise that I’ll get the necklace and return it to you.”
“When will they be coming back?” Charlotte asked.
“In ten days, probably. She said that she’s bringing Timothy to spend some time at my winery in Arkfield... “
“Ten days... “ Charlotte whispered, turning downcast.
Zachary only gave her three days to get the necklace. With one day gone, she only had two days to get the necklace back. Otherwise, she would be forced to sign that slave contract.
What should I do?
“Were you scolded by Mr. Nacht for this?” Hector asked, sounding concerned. “I’ll go explain to him... “
“It’s alright.”
Recalling the time he got seriously injured by Zachary, she did not want Hector to act rashly.
“But... “ Hector sounded worried.
“It’s okay. I’ll just recount the situation as it is. He won’t do anything to me,” Charlotte replied, pretending to be calm.
“Alright then.” Hector smiled bitterly to himself. “The two of you do have a better relationship after all... “
“I... “ Charlotte wanted to explain herself but decided not to. There’s no point in doing that. ”I’ll send you the bracelet tomorrow. Please help me get the ruby necklace back when they return,” she said.
“Okay. Don’t worry. I’ll keep my promise. Also, I think it would be best for you to pass me the bracelet in person. It’s an expensive item, after all. If you have time to spare, I can go over to get it from you tomorrow,” Hector replied.
“I... “ Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay. Let’s meet outside.”
“Alright then. I’ll meet you at Blue Diamond tomorrow at six in the evening.”
“Okay.”
