A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 76

Sure enough, being in a good mood helped people to be more passionate at work. 

Alina managed to finish her work that was supposed to be completed in three days within an entire morning. 

In the afternoon, her inspiration was flowing as she drew more than a dozen design plans. 

When it was time to get off work, she left the office with the blueprints in her arms.

The whole day, her mind was occupied with preparing dinner for Scumbag, she didn't even realize Rosie didn't show up to work. After that, Rosie had lectured Alina for a long time and complained that she should value her sisters before misters.

As she stepped out of her office, she walked briskly towards the apartment.

A man blocked her way and asked in a monotonous tone, "Excuse me, are you Miss Alina?"

Alina nodded and replied politely, "Yes, I'm Alina."

"Our boss would like to meet you. Please come with me!" The man's tone was polite and formal as well. 

The sunglasses and black suit made the man look a little standoffish. 

Alina refused. "I'm sorry, I'm very busy!"

She was truly busy. She had promised Scumbag to have dinner at seven o'clock. Although it was not a very important meal, she did not want to break her promise. Furthermore, it was Scumbag who brought her out of her toxic home environment. Scumbag invited her to have dinner together at his apartment, so she could have the chance to repay him with a meal. 

The man's voice became stern. His tone was insistent as he said, "Miss Alina, this way!"

"I'm really busy!" After saying this, Alina tried to escape with the blueprints in her arms. 

The man grabbed her wrist and pulled her aside.

"Let go of me, who are you? Let me go! Who is this boss of yours?" Alina yelled anxiously.

The man did not answer but dragged her into a car.

The blueprints in Alina's arms were scattered all over the floor.

...

In the president's office of Scott Group. 

Wilson was busy looking through documents and signing contracts. 

Simon stood aside. "Mr. Wilson, when would be an appropriate time to announce your wedding?" 

As Wilson signed his name on another contract, he said, "It's almost time. Did you follow my instructions?"

Simon replied immediately, "Yes. All the liquid funds that could be mobilized have been used to buy up Scott Group's shares during the trading session yesterday and today morning. We are fully leveraged with all our cash resources."

Wilson raised the corners of his mouth. "Contact Alina's friend, Rosie. Once she has bought our shares, you can announce the wedding news." 

"Okay." Simon nodded. He appeared calm but inwardly, he was shocked. Mr. Wilson had never cared about trivial matters regarding other people. However, he was suddenly concerned whether an ordinary person bought their company's stock?  

An hour later, the news of Wilson's marriage was announced. In less than five minutes after the announcement, Wilson received notice that the price of Scott Group's stocks had blasted through the cut-off limits. Trading had been suspended.  

There was blood thirst in his cold eyes. "Lucas, Colton, you must be regretting that you did not buy Scott Group's shares now, did you? I will give both of you a chance."

His phone rang at this moment.

Wilson looked at the caller ID and frowned. He picked up the call. "Mom!"

"Wilson, how could you do this? That woman has nothing at all! You can't be seen with her. You are going to destroy all our family's efforts over the years."

"Mom, listen to me..."

"Wilson, set up a press conference to clarify yourself. You've never thought about marrying this woman, Alina. It's the media creating false rumours and gossip. Do it right now!"

"Mom, don't overreact!"

"Wilson, have you forgotten how your brother died? How could you forget? How could you?" At the other end of the phone, Sophie was in tears, sobbing her heart out. 

Wilson‘s brows furrowed deeper and said firmly, "Mom, I've never forgotten this incident. That's why I decided to announce my marriage to Alina. I won't fall in love with any other woman except for Rosalie. Mom, please believe me! I'll explain it to you when I come back. I'm hanging up!"

"Wilson, Wilson!"

Wilson hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up, another call came in.

It was Walter!

Wilson pressed his lips together coldly. He reached out and took the call. "Mr. Walter!" 

"Mr. Wilson, congratulations!" Walter congratulated him in an ingratiating tone on the phone.  

In fact, inwardly he loathed Wilson. Originally, Walter had hoped that his daughter Clara could seduce Wilson, but he didn't expect that someone like Alina would show up and spoil his plans. 

He wondered who this person named Alina Miller was. He had tried to find out more about her but had never heard of anyone from the upper class of J City who was from the Miller Family. Perhaps she wasn't from J City. However, he was sure that Alina must have a very influential background. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been allowed to join the Scott Family.

"Thank you!" Wilson sneered at his words. He knew that Walter called to ask about the investment. 

Sure enough, Walter hastily asked about the investment, "Mr. Wilson, with your wedding approaching, don't forget about me! I'm still waiting for your investment to save my company!"
