The Moment i let go my uncle 104

The Moment i let go my uncle 104

I’ll let him know,Charlotte nodded

She considered warning Zarek that Leif clearly had ulterior motivestrying to drag him into a world of debaucherybut quickly realized someone with Zarek’s intelligence hardly needed the warning

She texted Ryan with Zarek’s response

It’s still early. Let’s take a walk,Zarek suggested

Charlotte looked up from her phone. I’d rather stay in. It’s getting dark, and wandering around these mountains alone is kind of creepy.” 

She noticed Zarek’s expression shift and quickly realized her misunderstanding. Oh, you meant you wanted to go for a walk?” 

Wandering alone is kind of creepy,he echoed, his expression oddly melancholic

I’ll come with you,Charlotte agreed, forcing a smile

Why couldn’t he just say I want to go for a walk, come with me? Every conversation with him felt like a reading comprehension test where she confidently chose an answer only to get it completely wrong

Made her feel like an idiot

Zarek glanced at her formal outfit and heels. Change into something comfortable and different shoes.” 

Charlotte nodded and headed upstairs

She returned wearing casual clothes and flats

They left around 5 PM

It was dusk, but not yet dark

The air was crisp and refreshing, the breeze cool, and the gradually setting sun painted the distant mountains with golden lighttruly breathtaking

Charlotte followed behind Zarek

She’d worried his long legs would make it difficult to keep up, but he walked slowly, allowing her to enjoy the stroll and appreciate the scenery

Ever heard of the legend?Zarek asked casually

What legend?Charlotte responded

They say twilight is a supernatural hourthe witching hour. Creatures lurking in darkness emerge then, taking

human form or possessing people walking the streets. They might suddenly call your name, and if you respond, they’ll devour your soul” 

His rich, smooth voice carried on the dusk breeze, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up

Charlotte paused for three seconds

Then she played along with an exaggerated gasp. That’s terrifying!” 

Don’t worry, it’s just a story. Thought you might find it interesting.” 

It is interesting. Can they only call your name? What about nicknames or titles? If one calls Momand a mother answers, does that count?” 

She asked with genuine curiosity

Zarek smiled faintly. Of course it counts. These creatures don’t just possess peoplethey can transform into someone you know to trick you, then consume your soul when you’re unaware.” 

Charlotte dramatically feigned fear. Stop, I can’t take anymore!” 

Zarek said no more

Charlotte thought to herself: Playing along with the boss’s ghost stories? All part of the job

They continued walking

They reached a pavilion

By now, the sun had sunk lower, spreading magnificent layers of red and orange across the skyso stunning it took 

her breath away

As Charlotte was absorbed in the view, Zarek suddenly called her, his voice unnaturally gentle. Ms. Whitmore.” 

She instinctively began to respond

Then remembered something and quickly clamped her mouth shut

Zarek waved his hand in front of her face. Ms. Whitmore? You okay?” 

Charlotte kept her head down, silent

Ms. Whitmore?” 

Charlotte Whitmore?” 

Charlotte?” 

I’m talking to you. Cat got your tongue?Zarek cupped her face in his hands, his tone teasing. Why aren’t you

answering? Oh wait, is it because of that legend? You’re actually taking it seriously? Come on, it’s just a story. Say something.” 

Charlotte remained steadfast

She closed her eyes

Not falling for it

Though it was just a game, she refused to lose

It was like playing freeze taga test of endurance

What she didn’t realize was that while she was seriously playing this game, her boss had become distracted

His gaze had settled on her lips, sunsettinged like rose petals. And she wascompletely unguarded

The pavilion grew quiet, with only the sound of the wind

Zarek leaned down, inching closer… 

Charlotte’s eyes shifted beneath closed lids

Her heart rate accelerated inexplicably

His warm breath touched her temple, the tip of her nose, finally hovering near her lips. His voice, husky and intimate: Even if you don’t respond, I can still devour youswallow you whole.” 

Changing the rules

Charlotte felt indignant and opened her eyes

She found herself staring into his handsome face, just inches away, tinted red by the sunset, looking almost otherworldly

She froze

As if under a spell, her heart rate and breathing completely derailed

They remained that close, lips nearly touching, until Zarek finally straightened up with what seemed like disappointment, releasing her face. You’re just too hard to fool.” 

He turned away

His eyes gazed at the setting sunWho says the witching hour is just a legend

Charlotte sat down on a nearby chair, her legs slightly weak

She touched her face, warmed by the sunset, her heart still racing

His competitive streak is ridiculous

92.3

Doct 

He’d do anything to win

The last ray of light disappeared into darkness

The temperature dropped suddenly

Zarek turned around. Let’s go. Time to meet some real monsters.” 

Charlotte stood up from the bench

She thought to herself that after being scared by him, she had no energy left for actual monsters

Does this count as a workplace hazard

They returned to the villa

At 6:40 PM, they headed to Leif Hara’s villa

At the entrance, Charlotte stepped forward to ring the doorbell

Shortly after, someone opened the door

It was Leif’s secretary, Claire Dean, whom they’d met at dinner. Even opening a door somehow became a performance of sensuality in her hands

Mr. Weasley, please come in.” 

Zarek didn’t acknowledge her and walked straight inside

Charlotte smiled politely at Claire as they both entered, with Claire leading the way

She guided them to the villa’s central area, a hall large enough for dozens of people, connected to a secluded bamboo grove and a heated swimming pool outside

Upon entering, they were immediately engulfed by foul air

Cigarette smoke, alcohol, perfume, and various other unpleasant odors mingled together

Zarek frowned slightly

My dear Mr. Weasley, you’ve finally arrived! I’ve been dying to see you,Leif rose from the sofa, speaking with excessive familiarity as he strode toward them

As he approached, he tried to place his hand on Zarek’s shoulder

This time, Zarek smoothly sidestepped, leaving Leif’s hand hanging awkwardly in the air

Leif looked visibly embarrassed

Chapter 104 

Zarek clearly wanted to twist the knife and remarked with a barely concealed smirk, Quite the party you’ve got going, Mr. Hara. Must be 

hausting. I hear some couldn’t even get out of bed today. You really should pace yourself 

at your age.” 

Leif’s face cycled through several colors

This arrogant kid, playing it cool

Just waityou’ll show your true colors soon enough

Thinking this, he glanced at Chatanding behind Zarek, his smile turning suggestive. Ms. Whitmore, your boss 

isn’t feeling under the weather today, is he? He can drink now, right?” 

Charlotte returned a professional smile. Mr. Hara, whether our CEO drinks or not is entirely his choice.” 

Leif chuckled. Well, I’m definitely going to get him drunk tonight.” 

With a wave of his hand, he added, Let’s sit down. I’d like to introduce you to some friends.” 

The socalled VIPshad all stood when Zarek entered

These industry leaders now wore expressions of eager flattery

The beautiful women with them also recognized the importance of the young, handsome VIP who had arrived. They stood in small groups, while a few in swimwear by the heated pool outside peered in curiously through the glass

Charlotte discreetly scanned the room

She counted the ten beautiesRyan had mentioned

Including Claire, there were only nine. Where was the tenth

She looked around until finally, at the edge of the pool, partially hidden by plants, she spotted a pair of porcelainwhite, delicate legs that looked almost fragile, wearing small white shoes

The epitome of innocent purity
