A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 38

Alina gazed at Sophie with her clear eyes and smiled. "No, I'm working under the Adams Family!"

"Adams Family? What's your job scope, Miss Alina?" Sophie probed further. It was careless of her. She should have sent someone to investigate the background of her own son's future wife. Now, she would have to question her. 

Alina continued, "I'm a landscape designer!"

"Landscape design? Don't you just plant flowers?" Sophie's tone was dripping with disdain. 

Upon hearing Sophie's words, George and his family smiled gloatingly. 

Lucas's and Colton's girlfriends even covered their mouths and giggled with mirth.

Mr. Lincoln frowned and silenced everyone. "It's dinnertime, don't ask so many questions!"

"Dad, I'm just concerned about Miss Alina!" Sophie retorted, but she obeyed Lincoln and refrained from asking any more questions. 

Alina pursed her lips and continued to eat.

Wilson looked slightly displeased.

Everyone stopped talking. Only the sounds of cutlery and clinking glasses were heard.

After dinner, Lincoln stood up first. Alina looked up and she noticed that he was wearing a vintage suit and holding onto a cane. "Alina, come to my study after you have finished your dinner!" Lincoln said as he walked out of the dining hall. 

"Alright." Alina nodded in agreement.

Sophie frowned. She had no idea what the old man was up to.

The members of George's family exchanged looks. Why did Lincoln ask to see Alina privately? After all, Caitlin and Selma had frequently visited the Scott Family villa, while Lincoln had never requested to meet them privately. 

Alina quickly finished her meal and put down her cutlery. As she turned to Wilson to ask where was Lincoln's study room, Wilson spoke up. "Have you finished eating?"

"Yes." Alina nodded and stood up.
