A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 4

After Wilson left the ward, Alina stared at the ceiling. 

Rosie thought that she fell ill because Hall stole her precious design plans, but she didn't know that it was actually because of a phone call.

That call made her so furious that she came down with a fever.

It was a woman with whom Alina had lost contact since three years ago. She could still remember her haughty tone. "Alina, you have to leave Jameson City. Ken Anderson is transferring his business to Jameson City!"

Three years ago, she left Ritz City because of this woman. Three years later, how could she have the audacity to force her to leave again?

Alina remembered what she replied on the phone, "I won't leave Jameson City, and I won't let anyone else disturb my life ever again!"

The woman became angry and threatened her, "Alina, you'd better leave Jameson City while I am still being nice. Otherwise, I will make your life hell. There is no chance of you getting back together with Ken. You are less than nothing to him now!"

Alina cut her off before she could finish. They have nothing to do with each other now, why should she stay silent and listen to her tirade? 

"She is going to make my life hell, is she? Well, I can't wait to see what she has in mind!" Alina thought.  

The next day.

When Mr. Hall noticed Alina, he smiled and asked her to go to his office. He handed an envelope containing money to her. However, she rejected it. Rosie had already informed her that he had received 200 thousand dollars by submitting her design plan. This envelope should only contain less than 10 thousand. As dumb as she might be, Alina knew that this was crossing the line.

With a smile, she refused to take the envelope. "Director, what do you mean by this? As far as I know, the bonus for this plan was 200 thousand dollars!"

It was not the first time that Mr. Hall stole her ideas. However, this time he had submitted her design completely without any changes. Did he think she was a doormat?

Rosie always felt indignant for Alina and cursed him for stealing her ideas. Before this incident, Alina usually kept quiet and brushed it off. Mr. Hall was her superior, taking credit for her ideas was a small matter. As a subordinate, naturally she should pull her own weight and support her superiors. 

Alina swore that from now on, she would never stand down and allow others to take away anything that belonged to her. 

Hall laughed maniacally. "Alina, are you delusional? I'll wait and see what you can do to get your money back. Get out of my office!"

She squared her shoulders and turned to leave the director's office.

As far as she knew, the president of the Adams Family Group was a man in his fifties. He had a team of seven secretaries, each handling different affairs. She was sure that someone would reply to her email of complaint from a subsidiary company.

Alina took a deep breath and sent an email to the Adams Family's secretary team. It contained information and material she had compiled last night proving that she was the true designer of the submitted plan from Imperial Landscapes. 

Although the email had been sent out, she was still very nervous. She remembered Hall had mentioned that his cousin was one of the secretaries. She hoped that this email would not be intercepted. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to claim ownership of the plan she had painstakingly designed and the 200 thousand dollars.

At noon, she left the office. She noticed a tall, familiar figure. Wilson was wearing a suit with shiny leather shoes. He had striking features and a piercing gaze.
