Charlotte turned around, and noticed that Zachary was indeed making his way toward them with his bodyguards trailing behind him.
“Isn't he the guy from the dinner last time?”
Olivia recognized the man right away. The man was practically the center of attention at the dinner at Ashenville Garden last time, someone whom even the nobles were trying to appease. He must be some bigshot.
“What should I do?” All color drained from Kristi's face as her legs shook. “Has he found out that I was impersonating you and he's here to teach me a lesson?”
“Don't worry.” Noticing that Kristi was shuddering, she could not bring herself to drag the latter into more trouble. She exchanged her number with her and dismissed her, “Go on with your work. I'll handle this.”
“Okay, then,” Kristi scurried off.
“Charlotte, did you somehow offend the man?” Olivia asked in a worried tone.
“Maybe.” If I hadn't recognized him or treated him like a gigolo, then maybe our paths would never have crossed again.
“Let's go. They're almost here,” Olivia tried to drag Charlotte along.
The two of them were more than familiar with the hallways. Before long, they found themselves back in Section A. Noticing that they had shrugged off the group, Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief.
“Fleur had arranged for us to help out in section C today. Will she punish us if she realizes that we're in section A instead?” Olivia was apprehensive about defying Fleur's arrangements.
“You go to section C,” Charlotte nudged her friend. “Don't worry. I'm going to be alright.”
“Alright then. The man shouldn't be able to find you now. There are a lot of customers here at section A, and it's alright for you to come here and back them up, or just go along the lines of some regulars are asking for you or something.”
“Sure.”
Charlotte was summoned as soon as Olivia left.
Sultry Night was always bustling with customers. Every night was practically fully booked. Unless one made a prior reservation, otherwise it would be near impossible to get a room in the club.
Some organization was throwing a party in section C, and they were shorthanded there. That was why Fleur had arranged for Charlotte and Olivia to head there that night.
Meanwhile, in section A, the guests at the private room had ordered a lot of drinks. Charlotte was especially spirited to attend to the large order.
She pushed carts after carts of expensive wine into the private room and crouched on the floor as she poured the drinks for the guests.
