“I get it.” Bruce nodded in realisation.

“I’m pretty surprised, though, that Charlotte was willing to meet Louis,” Zachary remarked.

Zachary appeared nonchalant but was fretting inside. The Charlotte he knew two years ago had been an absolute fanatic about loyalty in a relationship, particularly that of the man’s.

It was two years since, and Charlotte had evolved from an innocent, naive girl into a cold and haughty woman. Could that domineering woman still have the same outlook as the sweet girl of yesteryear? Zachary didn’t dare to say for sure.

“Actually, the fact that Ms. Lindberg even agreed to meet with Sir Louis is proof enough that she doesn’t love him,” Bruce analyzed. “The more affection you feel for someone, the less accepting you’d be of such behavior. Do you think she really got over it within a day? She doesn’t love him!”

“That makes sense,” Zachary said with a sigh.

 

“But that’s not to say that she still won’t get together with him,” Bruce continued. “Sir Louis is a member of F Nation’s royalty. Lindberg Corporation has been cultivating close ties with F Nation. A marriage alliance for business relations isn’t unheard of.”

Zachary’s face instantly grew dark.

 

“The Ms. Lindberg we see now is no longer the Ms. Windt we knew, but another person entirely,” Bruce said, completely diffident to Zachary’s growing displeasure. “Perhaps over time, love has taken a backseat to politics for her. It’s very possible…”

“Shut up!” Zachary bellowed, cutting short Bruce’s contemplations. He immediately picked up his phone and dialed Louis.

“Zachary?” Louis answered, puzzled.
