Chapter 106 

Natalie froze in disbelief. Her doe eyes widened, unable to process what she’d just heard

Leif’s face twitched slightly

Wasn’t Zarek supposed to be the perfect gentleman? Shouldn’t he be protecting her right nowif not offering his lap, at least finding her a chair to sit beside him

Squat? Was she a dog or something

The room went painfully silent

It was like a theater production where one actor suddenly went offscript, leaving everyone else frozen, unsure how to proceed

Charlotte thought: Classic bosscold as ice

She felt a wave of relief

For a moment she’d actually worried he might be interested in the girl

Honestly, if he had taken the bait, she would have privately judged his lack of judgment for falling into Leif’s obvious trapbut ultimately, his personal life was his business

Natalie remained standing, looking unsteady on her feet

Claire, get Natalie a chair,Leif ordered, clearly displeased

Claire quickly found a chair and placed it in the small space between Zarek and Leif, then guided the young woman to sit down like a protective older sister

Natalie sat

Knees together, hands folded neatly in her lap, completely different from the other nine women with their flirtatious poses and confident sensuality… 

Or perhaps they only seemed different through men’s eyes

Charlotte suspected that apart from Claire, the other eight women weren’t acting at all. That contempt was genuine. They were probably thinking: I might be forward, but at least I’m not fake

The group resumed drinking and chatting

Zarek completely ignored the girl beside him

Leif was growing visibly anxious

But if he directly suggested Zarek could take Natalie back to his villa, the cunning young CEO would certainly refuse

Leif was convinced Zarek had noticed herotherwise, why would he have been watching her outside

Mr. Hara,Zarek said, mimicking Leif’s wineswirling gesture, his tone deceptively casual, what’s the deal with Natalie?” 

Ah, Natalie,Leif perked up, slapping his knee. She’s truly a heartbreaking case. Daughter of one of my employees, such a good girl. Her father died in a car accident a few years ago, her mother has serious health issues, and she has a troublesome brother. She just started college last year, but she’s juggling caring for her mother while trying to earn tuition. Now her mother’s condition has suddenly worsened, and the surgery costs $200,000, so that’s why” 

He sighed dramatically, feigning sympathy

Natalie’s face turned crimson, her chin nearly touching her chest

Zarek fell silent after listening

Charlotte thought: This storyline… 

She glanced at Claire, strongly suspecting she had helped Leif craft this narrative

Dead father, critically ill mother, useless brother, povertystricken protagonist, when it rains it pours, expensive 

medical bills, innocent girl forced to sell herself for money

It was Storytelling 101: stack these conditions and supposedly any powerful man would lose all critical thinking 

skills

Wait

Maybe Zarek didn’t recognize the formula

Everyone appeared relaxed, but they were all listening intently for Zarek’s reaction

I think” 

Zarek began with a furrowed brow. Leif watched him with eager anticipation. Go on, kid, admit you want to savethe pretty girl. All that posturing just to end up with the same basic instinct

This bottle of RomanéeConti is worth about a million, right?” 

What?Leif was caught off guard. Why bring up the wine again

Ah, us evil capitalists,Zarek said, placing his glass on the table with exaggerated regret. One bottle of wine could save her family several times over.” 

Leif’s face froze

Zarek seemed to have another thought and asked with mock concern, Mr. Hara, do you need an exorcist? I’m worried Natalie’s father might come strangle you in your sleep.”

Leif nearly choked

Charlotte cycled through every funeral she’d ever attended to keep from laughing

Her boss was savage enough to criticize himself in the process. And so concerned about the older generation’s safety! What a thoughtful man

She wasn’t the only one strugglingseveral others looked physically pained from suppressing their amusement

Natalie couldn’t even lift her face now

By this point, Leif finally got the message

This kid was playing him like a violin

No wonder Steven had warned him this young man was craftier than a fox, more venomous than a cobra, and 

impossible to manipulate

If he wouldn’t respond to the friendly approach, then Leif would have to get creative

Mr. Weasley, you certainly havequite the sharp tongue,Leif said with a forced smile, desperately salvaging the situation. I never said I wouldn’t help Natalie. I’ve offered before, but this girl is proud and doesn’t want charity. But you’ve made me feel quite ashamed. Tomorrow I’ll personally arrange for her mother’s medical bills.” 

Zarek replied, I misjudged you, Mr. Hara. I’m sure you wouldn’t coerce a young woman into this kind of situation. I should punish myself.” 

He picked up his wine glass again and took a small sip

Leif challenged, That’s your punishment? One sip? Not exactly severe, is it?” 

Zarek countered, Gulping fine wine would be sacrilege.” 

Leif pressed, It’s just a bottle. Are you making excuses to avoid drinking?” 

Zarek grew slightly serious. It is just a bottle, but thinking that half a glass is worth about $100,000, and a proper toast would be $200,000I’m genuinely concerned Natalie’s father might haunt us tonight. Aren’t you?” 

Leif:

” 

He rubbed his throbbing temples, abandoning the verbal sparring

This kid needed his mouth superglued shut

Charlotte decided Zarek must have dominated debate competitions in college

She was starting to feel sorry for Leif. Why provoke someone like Zarek in the first place

If Leif had deflated, the others were downright end of Zener 

This young executive was abielutely rufiles

He was like someone watching from a height fully aware of her patient games in finding directly, instead raying with them like a car with mice 

Only at the end did the mice realize they’d been played all thing

Damage control my ass

Leif barely contained his fury. Zarek. I’m practically family you ever felt you when you were inle Ton should show more respect to your elders or you’ll break or heart 

His eyes even glistened with fakte emotion

Charlotte thought: Give the man an Oscar

Zarek replied with a cryptic smile: How exactly should I show respect. Unde Lart

Leif collected himself. Since we have this rare oppormity, let’s forget the wine and have a late super fer 

Without waiting for Zarek’s response, he directed everyone toward the dining room exianging a meaningful glance with one of the men
