Charlotte waited until Marino had left through the window before opening the door.
Morgan was still staring longingly at the window when Charlotte’s voice came from beside her, “How
much longer are you going to stare at the window? He’s already gone!”
Morgan flinched in shock and tried to explain, “Ms. Lindberg, I…”
Charlotte cut her off. “I saw everything. Marino seems to be infatuated with you. I think he’s a great guy!”
Morgan lowered her head in embarrassment. “Nah, he’s way too immature! I just scolded him for going
AWOL when he has such an important task…”
“Yeah, he deserved that scolding. Still, I suppose you valiantly saving my life would make up for his
mistake!” Charlotte said with a mischievous smirk.
“Hey! Me doing my job has nothing to do with his mistake!” Morgan exclaimed while blushing.
Charlotte nodded and said seriously, “Yeah, you’re right. We’ll just let Zachary punish him, then!”
“No…” Morgan began to panic.
Lupine burst out laughing. “Hahaha! I knew you were just being stubborn! You are worried about him,
aren’t you?”
“Shut up!” Morgan threw a pillow at her.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Still so aggressive even when you’re wounded, huh? Be careful not to scare your
boyfriend away!” Lupine teased her again.
“What boyfriend? Stop messing with me!” Morgan was so flustered that her ears had turned red.
Lupine snickered. “Seriously, though… He came rushing back because of you, and yet you’re refusing to
accept Ms. Lindberg’s offer to save him from potential punishment? Talk about being heartless!”
“Will you please do something about her, Ms. Lindberg?” Morgan was blushing like a shy little girl.
Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh at her state. “All right, all right… We’ll stop messing with you. It’s normal
for young people like you to fall in love anyway. Marino is a great guy, so make sure you treat him well.”
“But…”
“The three of us are the only ones that know about him sneaking back, so it’ll be fine if we just keep it to
ourselves. Okay, you should get some rest. We’ll go check on things at the airport. Wouldn’t want you
two to be in trouble in case anything does go wrong!” Charlotte said as she stood up.
“Yeah, you’re right! Ensuring Dr. Felch’s safety is of utmost importance! We can’t afford to have even a
minor mishap!”
“I’ll have someone stay here to keep you safe. Take care.”
Charlotte then turned around and began walking toward the door, leaving a bodyguard behind to watch
over Morgan.
“You’re so nice to us, Ms. Lindberg!” Lupine exclaimed.
“Are you implying that Mr. Lindberg isn’t?” Charlotte asked.
“No, that’s not what I meant…” Lupine desperately tried to explain herself.
Charlotte couldn’t help but chuckle at how flustered she was, but maintained her cold attitude and carried
on walking while Lupine followed behind her with a smile on her face.
Charlotte is a lot kinder and pleasant in comparison to Danrique’s cold and stern personality. Despite
holding a grudge against the Nacht family, she never once stopped us from seeing their people. This is
the kind and soft-hearted side of her deep down inside…
As Charlotte and her subordinates were rushing toward the airport, they encountered a Nacht family
convoy speeding past them.
“What’s going on? Why are they mobilizing that many men at such a high speed? Could it be that
something bad has happened?” Lupine asked with a frown.
The look on Charlotte’s face turned gloomy. “I hope not… Come on, drive faster.”
“All right!”
With Morgan wounded and the other bodyguards not so proficient at driving, they were late to the airport
by over ten minutes.
They then rushed to the arrival hall and saw the Nacht family bodyguards searching the place.
Lupine was able to recognize one of them and asked, “What’s going on? Aren’t you guys here to pick up
Dr. Felch?”
“Someone else beat us to it! We’re looking for him right now!” the man replied anxiously.
“How did this happen? Who took him?” Lupine pressed on.
“We don’t know yet…”
