Nevertheless, Zachary ignored Charlotte and quietly stared outside the window. It was as though what she thought meant nothing to him.

His disinterest in what she said made Charlotte even more agitated. Her brows knitted as she figured that it was a bad idea to get into an all-out argument with the man in front of her.

“And when will that be?” Zachary finally said something. Even though he sounded cold, he was still giving Charlotte a chance to communicate with him.

“It won’t be long. I’ll have to ask Dr. Langhan for the specifics.” Charlotte was observing Zachary’s reaction. “Besides, I’m finally working tomorrow. We can still see each other at the office.”
