“Will you be sad if Mr. Nacht gets together with Ms. Gold? I think you shouldn’t underestimate her.”
“I didn’t. She’s much better than the Blackwoods. Besides, she’s Zachary’s type.”
“Does this mean you’re worried? Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie will be getting a stepmom if they’re together.
Who knows if she’ll be another Cynthia? What if she’s actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing? What if she
hurt the children?”
“I don’t think she’s that kind of person,” Charlotte said confidently, “She doesn’t seem like it.”
“Well, none of us thought Cynthia would turn out to be so vicious…”
“Zachary should be able to tell what kind of a person she is after all he’s been through. He didn’t like
Cynthia actually, it was all his father’s idea. He’s free to make his own choice now. There’s nothing I can
do if he really likes Nancy.”
Lupine did not feel comfortable with the idea of Zachary getting together with Nancy, but she dropped the
issue.
Charlotte looked out of the window at the city view. The familiar streets reminded her of Zachary and
everything they did together.
Snippets of memory flashed before her so lucidly as if everything happened yesterday.
Those were unforgettable moments they shared together, but she had chosen to bury them in her heart
forever.
“I saw Ms. Lindberg’s car just now,” Ben whispered in Zachary’s ear, but Zachary ignored him and sat
down, looking at Nancy with a smile.
“Welcome to H City.”
“Thanks, Mr. Nacht.”
Nancy was not the rigid and polite woman she was when she met Charlotte just now anymore. She put
on her gentle and attractive self when she met Zachary.
“Have you been waiting for long?”
Zachary took a sweeping look at the place and saw the empty cups on the other table. He figured
Charlotte must have visited.
“Not really. I actually met up with one of your friends—Ms. Lindberg—the second major shareholder of
Lindberg Corporation.”
Zachary was not expecting Nancy to be this candid. “Why did you meet up with her?”
“It’s about this project,” Nancy replied, taking out the document. “Sir Robert got in touch with me through
Mr. Murphy. He wanted me to replace Ms. Lindberg as the shareholder. I don’t want to create any
misunderstanding, so I asked her out to talk over it.”
“What did she say?” Zachary was curious.
“She said she was annoyed that those people were so eager to get her replaced. She also said that
people should just deal honestly instead of using dishonorable means to compete.”
“This is very Charlotte.”
Zachary let down his defense and became friendlier.
“Yeah. I think Ms. Lindberg is a forthright person. I really like her. Did you see her when you’re on the
way here?”
“I didn’t.” Did she see me when she left?
I wonder what’s her reaction if she knows I’m here with Nancy?
“It’s boring just having wine here,” Nancy said, sensing that Zachary’s mind was somewhere else. “Why
not we go somewhere fun?”
“I’ve been to all the fun places in H City.”
“I swear you’ve never been to this one,” Nancy said mysteriously, “I bet you’ll fall in love with this place.”
“Well, since you said so, I’m all for it,” Zachary said, shrugging.
