Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Silence fell between them. Charlotte was shocked for a short while, and she kept her silence. Zachary didn’t say anything either as he kept driving.

It didn’t take long for them to reach the base of Rokan Hill. Zachary stopped the car by the roadside, retracted the roof before reclining the seat, and looked up at the sky.

Charlotte glanced at the time and leaned back to look up at the stars in silence. They didn’t say anything for the longest time. Just like the night breeze that was blowing through her hair, messing it up, her emotions were also all over the place.

“If we go by terms of feeling and instinct, yes,” she answered honestly. “But rationally speaking, I have a lot of reasons to suspect you.”

“Sometimes rationality isn’t your best compass.” He looked at her. “You should trust your own instincts.”

“And that’s how you make mistake after mistake.” She smiled bitterly. “I lost a part of my memory. The doctor said it was too painful for me to endure, so I forgot about them as a defense mechanism.” She looked at him. “I’ve forgotten about a lot of things, but not you. You feel warm to me. Fuzzy, even. I trust you never hurt me before?”
