Chapter 279

Charlotte took a peek at Jackson and felt greatly humiliated. Judging by Jackson's wrinkled face and flabby stomach, Charlotte thought he should be around her father's age.

Sharon has such a brilliant plan, but does she really think she can get rid of me by setting me up for a blind date with this old man?

Is it even necessary for her to go to great lengths to get rid of me when I haven't made any move or gotten in her way with Zachary's relationship?

Why is she sending this disgusting old man my way again when I have forgiven her for stepping on my hand and giving me a hard time? She should stay away from me because I have returned the check through Lucy's help!

“Charlotte, you seem to be pretty young. How old are you?”

On one hand, Jackson's eyes gleamed in excitement and looked at Charlotte differently.

On the other hand, Charlotte remained silent throughout the conversation because she could barely keep a straight face in front of the old man anymore.

Lucy stepped in to get Charlotte out of the nasty situation. “Ms. Blackwood, I'm sure you're kidding! I don't think Charlotte deserves Mr. White when she's just a rookie in the corporate world.”

“What do you mean she doesn't deserve—”

“Aren't you hungry? Why don't you hurry up and finish your meal?” Zachary broke the silence, stating indifferently before Sharon could finish her sentence.

Sharon winced at Zachary's words because it was evident the man was trying to protect Charlotte.

“Oh! You're right! I believe most of us are hungry since we have been out for the entire morning!” Jackson was an observant man. He immediately summoned the waiter and instructed, “Please serve us our meal at once!”

“Ms. Wright, Mr. Ben, have a seat and join us!”

Jackson invited everyone that was present to join him at the table and started engaging himself in a conversation with Ben and Lucy to get himself out of the awkward situation.

Ben and Lucy played along with him to ease up the tension that was built up over the past few minutes.

Meanwhile, Zachary indulged himself and took a sip of the red wine.

Sharon's face puckered because she felt embarrassed after Zachary reprimanded her in front of others. She secretly held a grudge against Charlotte and finished her glass of wine in an attempt to calm herself down.

In spite of being on pins and needles, Charlotte couldn't bring herself away—she had no choice but to join the crowd and brace herself through the meal.

“Mr. Nacht, this is a wine from my precious collection. Please give it a try.”

Jackson served Zachary and Sharon each a glass of drink. “Ms. Blackwood, why don't you give it a try as well? The president has complimented it after savoring it when we were out for a meal last time.”
