Chapter 172 A Step Closer To The Truth
“Is that so?”
Charlotte looked up at Bruce. Prior to this, she had only seen him once when they were in a hurry. Hence, she didn’t take notice. But now that she saw him up-close, she suddenly remembered.
The first day when she returned to H City from the village, her taxi crashed into a Rolls-Royce Phantom. At that time, the man seating beside the driver was Bruce.
Charlotte was shocked as all the pieces fell into place.
If he was sitting beside the driver, that means the person who was hurt and had a tattoo on his waist must be Zachary.
At that time, she was puzzled as to why a gigolo would be riding in such an expensive car.
When she met up with him at Sultry Night, she even thought that the car belonged to his rich sugar mommy.
Looking back now, she felt she had been extremely naive.
From the very beginning, Zachary was Gigolo. Despite them resembling each other so much, she was still easily fooled by him.
However, what she didn’t understand was why was he doing all this.
Wait, I have my three children with me then. Did Bruce see them?
If he did, then…
The more she thought about it the more uneasy she felt.
“Perhaps, I made a mistake, I’m sorry,” Bruce apologized with a bow before leaving.
Meanwhile, Charlotte tried her best to calm down and quickly left the president’s office. She washed her face in the employee’s washroom and regained her composure.
When the two cars crashed that day, Bruce had only caught a glimpse of her from afar. Furthermore, the children were in the car. So even if he saw her, he might not have seen the children.
Nevertheless, although all the circumstantial evidence pointed to the fact that Zachary was Gigolo, she knew she could never be sure until she saw the tattoo. Since he already had feelings for her, finding out wasn’t going to be difficult.
As of now, the priority is to hide the children’s identity and determine if Zachary is Gigolo. I’ll figure out the rest after that. At the same time, I still need to solve the problem of the debt repayment contract.
Holding that thought, Charlotte took a deep breath. After regaining her composure, she went back to work.
Once the product launch was successfully completed, the reporters started to leave. After that, all the major media companies flooded the news with Divine Corporation’s latest tech products. The marketing department also announced that sales would begin in three days.
Separately, the police were brought in to arrest all the intruders and to investigate who they were.
The perpetrators were mostly wounded or unconscious when the police rounded them up.
When her colleagues returned to level 68, they were shocked by the amount of devastation they saw.
Lucy then announced that everyone in the president’s office would be given a three-month bonus for their exceptional performance. They would also be given the day off to facilitate the repairs.
Everyone cheered and jumped in ecstasy at the news.
Finally, Lucy informed Charlotte personally. “I have already gotten Mr. Nacht’s permission to make you an official employee. Congratulations and keep up the good work.”
“Thank you, Ms. Wright!’
Charlotte was overjoyed. Realizing she had hardly done anything, she was just grateful to be able to receive the reward.
“It’s time to get off work. You should head home to rest.”
Lucy patted her on her shoulders before going off.
Just when she finished packing and was about to leave, she suddenly saw Zachary with Bruce and another two bodyguards. They were heading for the VIP elevator and she quickly followed.
“This is reserved for the president’s use. Please leave,” The bodyguard warned.
Bruce shot him a glance, causing him to back down.
At that moment, the elevator’s door was about to close. Zachary raised his eyebrows at Charlotte, “What do you want?”
Charlotte meekly looked him in the eye and bit her lip. She requested softly, “I would like to talk to you about the necklace.”
“Go on.” Zachary tone was cold.
Charlotte explained in simple terms, “Actually, I lost Luna’s bracelet and she wanted me to pay for it. However, when I couldn’t afford to do so, I had no choice but to give her the necklace as collateral. We agreed that I would be able to use the bracelet to exchange it back. And now, I found it…”
“What has that got to do with me?” Zachary interrupted her. “The ruby necklace is what I’m looking for.”
