q“Did Charlotte notice anything?” the person on the other end of the line asked.

“I'm not sure...” The fake Zachary frowned. “It seems that she's deliberately tormenting me, but at the same time, it seems that she's not suspicious of me.”

“It looks like we've underestimated Charlotte,” the other person said with a sneer. “This trick of blurring the line between reality and fake is the best.”

“She said she'll be taking me to a board meeting tomorrow,” the fake Zachary informed. “Should I try to get the shares back when that happens?”

“Not yet,” the other person answered. “There are many steps to getting the shares back; you won't be able to get them back just by saying you want it. You shouldn't act rashly unless you're a hundred percent sure that you can emerge as the winner.”

“Then when?” The fake Zachary panicked. “I'm getting cooked in the pot and seventy-two needles stuck in me every day! Moreover, I have to do this for what seems like a century! I'm going to die from this!”

“Don't worry. As long as you stick to my plan, you'll soon replace Zachary and take over Nacht Group.”

“Hurry up! I can't wait any longer.”

At that, the fake Zachary put his hand on his forehead and collapsed on the couch with a loud groan.

I thought Zachary was enjoying the time of his life with wealth and a beautiful woman by his side. I thought that coming to the Nacht residence means getting to enjoy lording over others and the company of the beautiful Charlotte, but... it's only the first day, and I'm already dying. Furthermore, that person's telling me to endure it for a little longer and take it slow! The mere thought of that is terrifying.

“Did Chorlotte notice onything?” the person on the other end of the line osked.
