Chapter 1315
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door.
Lucky looked at the monitor and reported, âMr. Nacht, Dr. Langhan is here.â
âLet her in,â Zachary responded.
âYes.â Lucy opened the door and invited Raina in.
âMr. Nacht, I have something to report after careful deliberation.â Raina whipped out a file and told him, âMs.
Lindberg called me this afternoon. Itâs about Oliviaâ¦â
After hearing what she had to say, Zachary took the file and glanced at it briefly. âIt seems pretty hard to invite Dr.
Wright here. Do you want me to do it?â
âOf course not,â Raina replied with a bitter smile. âTruth to be told, even if Dr. Wright is here, the chances of her saving Olivia are pretty slim. Ms. Lindberg will feel better if sheâs here.â
âLetâs do it, then.â Zachary made up his mind. âGive me Dr. Wrightâs number. Iâll call her now.â
âYes.â Raina gave the said number to him at once.
At the same time, on the way back to Northridge.
Charlotte was gripping her phone, her expression livid. âHow could she? I did my very best to convince her and even offered a huge reward, but Dr. Wright refused to say yes.â
âThose capable doctors are usually difficult to please,â Lupine said with a grin. âShe doesnât know your identity. She must be afraid that it was a prank call and rejected your offer.â
âThat seems plausible,â Charlotte answered, her brows knitted together. âDo I have to fly to M Nation and extend an invitation personally?â
âIf you leave, what about the kids?â Lupine said hastily. âThough youâre usually busy, and Morgan takes good care of them, at least they get to see you at night. Knowing you are here gives them a sense of security. If you leave, they will fret for sure.â
âYes.â Charlotte was plagued with worry. âRobbie, Jamie, and Ellie have their father, but the little ones only have me. Their parents arenât with them.â
âWhat if you send Morgan to invite her on your behalf?â Lupine suggested.
âMorgan isnât good at stuff like this.â Charlotte thought about it and declared, âOh, why donât you take two men with you and pay her a visit?â
âBut if Iâm not here, no one will be here for you. Morgan is busy taking care of the kidsââ
âCut the crap,â Charlotte barked.
âFine.â Lupine nodded begrudgingly. She was about to leave to carry out the order when Charlotteâs phone rang.
âItâs Raina.â Charlotte answered it at once. âHello?â
âMs. Lindberg, Dr. Wright has agreed to come to H City!â Rainaâs excited voice sounded from the other end of the line. âSheâll be here five days later. Iâll be picking her up from the airport.â
âThatâs great! Thank you so much, Raina,â Charlotte answered as happiness danced through her thoughts. âYouâre amazing! I just called Dr. Wright, but she rejected me without even bothering to consider my offer.â
âYes, sheâs quite difficult,â Raina said, shooting Zachary a conflicted look. If he didnât extend an invitation personally, that doctor wouldnât have agreed to come.
âHow did you persuade her to say yes, then?â Charlotte got curious.
âWe are acquainted with each other. She mustâve agreed as I offered her a grand reward,â Raina explained carefully.
âIâll bear all the costs,â Charlotte offered at once. âI really canât thank you enough for your help, Raina.â
âYouâre welcome. Iâll give Peter a call now so he can stop worrying about it.â
âOkay. Do it now.â
Before Charlotte could hang up, another voice popped up from the other end. âMr. Nacht, this documentâ¦â
Lucy stopped short in fright when Zachary gave her a furious hand gesture.
