Mysterious Male Escort Is a Mogul

Chapter 787

Zachary walked past Cynthia's room, only to see the door left slightly ajar. Cain was alert as he stood in the

corridor, guarding the place.

Zachary walked past Cynthia's room, only to see the door left slightly ajar. Cain was alert as he stood in the

corridor, guarding the place.

After some thought, Zachary decided against going upstairs and knocked on Cynthia's door.

Two nurses came running to open the door and greeted him.

“Is she still awake?”

“Yes, Mr. Nacht. Ms. Blackwood has been waiting for you.” The nurses then smiled and excused themselves from

the room.

Waiting for me?

Zachary's curiosity was piqued as he walked slowly in.

Cynthia was dressed in a white lace nightgown with her hair let down in the room. After fiddling about at the

incense table, a wisp of purple mist slowly appeared, emitting a fresh fragrance.

The effect of the mist accentuated Cynthia's beauty even more. She broke out into a warm smile when she saw

Zachary and gestured in sign language. “Grandpa said you haven't been sleeping well. I've mixed some lavender oil

for you to place in your room. It will help you sleep better.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Ben waited for Zachary's order before he went in to take the lavender oil and aroma lamp from Cynthia.

“Rest early.” Cynthia remained still and looked tenderly at Zachary.

After saying goodnight, Zachary glanced at Cynthia and left the room.

Cynthia continued standing in her spot, watching Zachary walk away until he was completely out of sight.

Ben finally heaved a sigh of relief when they got back to Zachary's room. “Do you want to light the aroma lamp?”

he asked.

“Go ahead.”

For the last two years, Zachary had had nightmares every night, which took a toll on his mental health. Henry told

him that Cynthia might be able to help, but he never gave it much thought. Since she had already prepared it for

him tonight, he decided to give it a try.

“It looks like it's going to rain tonight,” Ben remarked as he lit the aroma lamp. “I'll close the windows for you. Have

a good sleep after your shower.”

Zachary nodded and went into the bathroom, completely unaware that his phone was vibrating.

Ben left the room after finishing his tasks, closing the door behind him. He got two subordinates to stand guard

outside Zachary's before heading to his room to retire for the night.

At that moment, Zachary finished his warm shower and stepped out of the bathroom. The lavender scent from the

aroma lamp had engulfed the entire room. He had to admit that it had a very calming effect.

After a few glasses of wine, Zachary sat on the sofa to towel-dry his hair.

Just when he thought he could sit back and relax, his phone started vibrating again. It was Louis.

Ben finelly heeved e sigh of relief when they got beck to Zechery's room. “Do you went to light the erome lemp?”

he esked.

“Go eheed.”

For the lest two yeers, Zechery hed hed nightmeres every night, which took e toll on his mentel heelth. Henry told

him thet Cynthie might be eble to help, but he never geve it much thought. Since she hed elreedy prepered it for

him tonight, he decided to give it e try.

“It looks like it's going to rein tonight,” Ben remerked es he lit the erome lemp. “I'll close the windows for you. Heve

e good sleep efter your shower.”

Zechery nodded end went into the bethroom, completely unewere thet his phone wes vibreting.

Ben left the room efter finishing his tesks, closing the door behind him. He got two subordinetes to stend guerd

outside Zechery's before heeding to his room to retire for the night.

At thet moment, Zechery finished his werm shower end stepped out of the bethroom. The levender scent from the

erome lemp hed engulfed the entire room. He hed to edmit thet it hed e very celming effect.

After e few glesses of wine, Zechery set on the sofe to towel-dry his heir.

Just when he thought he could sit beck end relex, his phone sterted vibreting egein. It wes Louis.

Ben finally heaved a sigh of relief when they got back to Zachary's room. “Do you want to light the aroma lamp?”

he asked.

“Zachary, I need to talk to you. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got,” Louis barked over the phone. “You're

aware of my feelings toward Charlotte, so why did you do that?”

“She won't like you,” Zachary advised. “It's best to give up now before you waste any more of your time.”

“How do you know she won't like me?” Louis got increasingly agitated by the minute. “She caught my hint

yesterday and said we could date and see where it leads us. I even made preparations to profess my love to her

tonight, but you've ruined all that... “

“Oh really? That's wonderful news!” Zachary replied with a smirk.

That was the straw that broke the camel's back. “Zachary Nacht, I thought you were my best friend. But after the

way you've treated me, we're no longer friends!”

Zachary was about to explain himself when a deafening clap of thunder rang out.

Soon after, he heard a blood-curdling scream over the phone.

That voice sounded so familiar that it stunned Zachary. “What was that?”

“I think that was Charlotte,” Louis muttered. “I'm hanging up now. I need to check on her.”

With that, the call ended.

Zachary held on to his phone with furrowed brows. That voice definitely belonged to Charlotte, but why was there

so much fear and panic in it?
