Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

“Yes, what’s most important now is to find Francesco.” There was still a trace of hope that Ben had leaned on. “As long as we find Francesco, Mr. Nacht will be saved.”

“Indeed. Still, we have to be prepared,” Bruce said. “By the way, how is Ms. Lindberg? When is she going to come back?”

“Come back?” Ben was simultaneously furious and anxious when Charlotte was mentioned. “Mr. Nacht had been so careful in making sure that she doesn’t find out about his illness. Furthermore, she’s cautious. Their relationship is still tense.”

“Why won’t they just be honest with each other? We’re already at this point!” Bruce blurted out. “If anything does happen to Mr. Nacht, no one will be leading the Nacht family. When that happens, it’ll be nothing but chaos!”

“I know. I’m anxious about it too.” Ben sighed. “If Ms. Lindberg comes back, we’ll have someone to lead us, at least. With Mr. Spencer and Mr. Sterk’s support, as well as our protection, no outsiders will try to wreck chaos.”

“We’re just pointlessly fretting now. Let’s just work on what Mr. Nacht has instructed us to do first,” Ben finally said.

“I think it’s time for you and Marino to do your part,” Bruce said, glancing at his surroundings. “If Mr. Nacht refuses to say anything, the two of you will pretend to accidentally spill some beans. I’m sure that Ms. Lindberg will come back once she finds out about the truth.”
