Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Sure enough, Charlotte received a call from Sean seven days later who informed her that Danrique intended to transfer some shares in Lindberg Corporation to her and to have her return at once to attend to the paperwork.

Charlotte was most surprised as it was not the first time he had transferred some shares to her. When the company ran into trouble, he had taken back the shares to prevent her involvement.

Fueled by curiosity over Danrique’s uncharacteristic gesture, she pressed for answers to why he might do such a thing. Sean revealed that some of them were her mother’s shares, which rightfully belonged to Charlotte. The rest had been the winnings of a bet placed between Zachary and Danrique.
