Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

“I wanted Morgan to go at first, as Marino is easier to deal with. However, I thought about it and felt that Morgan is more careless, so I’ve decided to send you instead,” Charlotte said in a grim tone. “Ben is Zachary’s trusted subordinate.

“I know what you mean.” Charlotte was fighting a rising panic, and that was why she was sending Lupine to find out more. “All right. It’s almost time now. Hurry along.”
