A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 20

At the banquet hall.

Monica was wearing a black evening gown with high heels. She walked up to Wilson with a glass of red wine in her hands. "Mr. Wilson, thank you for coming to the banquet. Here's to you."

Wilson nodded and clinked his glass with Monica's. His movements were extremely elegant.

"Hi, how should I address you?" Monica smiled sweetly and looked over at the Alina who was standing beside Wilson.

Alina composed herself and smiled in return. "I'm Alina Miller. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, it's Alina. You look so beautiful!" 

"Thank you!" Alina beamed.

"Alina, I don't have a partner with me today. Can I borrow Mr. Wilson for just five minutes? I'll greet a few of my old friends with him before returning him later." Monica looked at Alina hopefully, blinking her doe-like eyes. It was difficult to refuse her.  

Alina looked at Wilson for his permission. She couldn't make this decision by herself. Although they were about to get married, they weren't close. Moreover, she became more and more aware of the status gap between them. Previously when he gave her a cheque of five million, she assumed that he was just rich. Little did she know that he was the president of Scott Group.

Wilson glanced at Alina and said, "You can wait for me at the sofa. I'll join you in a while!"

"Alright!" Alina let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he agreed, or else it would have been really awkward.

Monica smiled sweetly and reached out to hold onto Wilson's arm. Alina took a glass of wine and walked towards the sofa. Her high heels were making her feet ache. 

"What a coincidence!" Yet another familiar voice spoke up. 

Alina looked up and saw Anne glaring at her with hostile eyes. Of course, Ken was with her. 

Ken glanced at Wilson and Monica who were walking away and turned back to Alina. He said mockingly, "I've heard that Mr. Harry's daughter, Monica, was ranked 47th on the Top 100 Most Famous Socialites!"
