Chapter 1009


    Charlotte''s stance was a little shaken. Anyhow, she brought up another critical point, “You''re in big


    trouble if Danrique knows about this...”


    “What can he do to me? End my life?” Zachary disagreed, “He barely has any free time to worry about


    me, given the current mess he''s in. Even if he knows I''m here, he''ll onlysh out on you at most, and


    then request that you kick me out of the house.”

    After mulling over, Charlotte thought that what he said made sense. The Lindbergs and the Nachts


    have always been at war with each other. If anything bad happens to either of the head of the house,


    the police will surely investigate the other family When that happens, the other party will probably be


    the biggest suspect, and none of these can be resolved easily..After all, this group of rich and famous


    are so used to standing at the top of the food chain. They disregard any form of secret attacks but


    prefer to beat their rivals in business. Therefore, their battleground is in the trading realm. No one will


    really strike the other with a weapon openly.


    “That''s it. This matter is finalized.” Seeing that Charlotte had been convinced, Zachary strode toward


    the bathroom. “I''m going to take a shower. Bruce will help to bring my suitcase up in a bit.”


    “Hey!” She grabbed his cor and yanked him back. “This is my room. Yours is the guest room.”


    “Your room is huge. It''s such a waste to sleep here alone. Let me keep youpany,” Zachary


    proposed shamelessly. “It''s the rainy season now. You''ll be scared to your wits when the thunder


    roars...


    Before he could finish, she kicked him out of the room and shut the door with a loud thud.


    Her action left Zachary speechless.


    “Mr. Nacht, your suitcase is here,” Bruce announced.


    Instantly, Zachary turned and spoke in an icy tone, “ce it in the guest room.”


    “Noted.” Bruce noticed his mood was off, but he did not dare to ask his boss any question.


    “This way, please.” Upon learning that Charlotte did not drive Zachary away, Lupine knew that she had


    acquiesced to his decision of staying.


    Hence, she led him to the guest room above Charlotte''s floor. “Mr. Nacht, you and your subordinates


    can upy these rooms.”


    “Why am I not ced on the second floor?” displeased, Zachary questioned.


    Lupine exined, “Second floor is reserved for Mr. Lindberg, Ms. Lindberg, and the three children. The


    study room and other facilities are also located on the second floor. Morgan and I are on the third floor,


    the same floor as the guest rooms. Ms. Lindberg''s room is just right below )) yours.


    “Fine, let it be then.”


    Zachary headed toward the French windows to check on the situation outside. Staying right above


    Charlotte could be a good thing too. It helps to create opportunities for me to get near her.


    “The rest of you can stay next door.” Lupine informed Bruce politely, “Ms. Lindberg advised against


    bringing too many people over.”


    “I''ll stay back with two other subordinates and arrange for the rest to leave.” Bruce was very


    cooperative.


    “Great.” Lupine nodded. “Feel free to let me know if you need anything.”


    “Sure, thanks.”


    After Lupine left, Bruce helped Zachary to hang his clothes up.


    Meanwhile, Zachary opened the ss door to ess the balcony. He took a peek downstairs and


    noticed that Charlotte''s room was still brightly lit. Her curtains were fluttering, indicating that her sliding


    doors were open...


    She still holds the same habits, sleeping with the windows open. She prefers the natural breeze to air-


    conditioning. I guess she won''t notice if I slink out and sneak into hers...No, I should stop!


    Zachary dismissed his random thoughts and reminded himself not to upset Charlotte anymore. Now


    that she has allowed me to stay, I''d better walk on eggshells.


    Bearing these thoughts in mind, he shut the windows and went to the bathroom.


    Charlotte was sipping wine on her sofa. She had been staring at the balcony for half an hour.


    Upon realizing that it was all peaceful and quiet, she knew that Zachary was being prudent with his


    actions.


    Very good, he''s being sensible.


    “Ms. Lindberg, the car has left,” Lupine reported.


    “Okay,” Charlotte replied nonchntly. “Looks like Mr. Nacht is convinced now.”
