Chapter 1707


    “I''ll head to thepany first.” Zachary kissed the back of Charlotte''s hand and told Bruce to push him


    away. He hugged his kids outside and said goodbye, then he got into the car.


    Charlotte knew Zachary was trying to give her some space, and she was wondering why Peter was


    being so secretive. What kind of matter will it be?


    She took Peter to the study room and made some tea for him. “What happened? Did something


    happen to Olivia?” she asked.


    “No, no,” Peter answered hastily. “Um, well, do you still remember Queenie?”


    “No, I don''t. Who is she?” Charlotte shook her head.


    “Well, she was the girl you wanted me to hire. You know, to stand in for you during sex with Chris,”


    Peter exined clearly, as he was starting to get nervous.


    “Oh, I remember her now.” Charlotte nodded. “So what about her?”


    “She, well...” Peter frowned. He hesitated for a while, then he said the truth, “She''s diagnosed with


    AIDS.” “What did you just say?” Charlotte’s eyes widened. She was in shock for a long while, then she


    asked, “When did this happen?”


    “She''s only diagnosed with it yesterday. Poor girl.” Peter heaved a long, sad sigh. “She''s probably


    infected when she was acting as an escort for an overseas client.”


    “Hold it for a minute,” Charlotte stopped him. “You''re saying that she''s already a carrier when she was


    standing in for me back when she dated Chris?”


    “Yes.” Peter nodded solemnly. “I got the news at around five this morning.


    I tried to call you, but I couldn''t get through, so here I am.”


    He was frustrated but also feeling guilty. “I am really sorry, Ms. Lindberg. I have no idea about this at


    all. I wouldn''t have hired Queenie if I had known she has AIDS. We were in a hurry that night, so I had


    no time to screen the candidates.”


    “You are not to me for this.” A frown furrowed Charlotte’s brows. “The point is, Chris stayed at the


    residence for quite a while after that one nightstand. It''ll be a disaster if the disease was transmitted.


    And besides...”


    Charlotte was reminded of


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Nancy. Chris must have had sex with Nancy. She might be infected as well.


    “That is exactly what I was thinking too.” Peter was finally panicking. “This can turn into a full-blown


    disaster, and I couldn’t bring this up around Mr. Nacht. Ms. Lindberg, I suggest that you and your family


    get checked. Just to be sure. And please talk about this to Mr. Nacht. Talk about it long and deep. Tell


    him what happened.”


    Peter had known Zachary for many years, and he knew the kind of person Zachary was. He didn''t want


    to cause a misunderstanding and raise another conflict between Zachary and Charlotte.


    “I see. That is good to hear.” Peter nodded furiously. “Tell me if you need my help.”


    “You don''t have to give me any money, Ms. Lindberg. You''ve given me enough.” Co?tent of


    Dr?manovеls


    “Just take it.” Charlotte stuffed the check in his hand. “It''s not a lot of money anyway. Half of it belongs


    to Queenie. The other half is your reward.”


    That is great news.''
