A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 98

After selling the shares, Rosie heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Alina, this was the easiest money I have ever made, I've made a profit of more than a hundred thousand dollars! By the way, Wilson mentioned that you shouldn't read the news? Are you on the news? Let me see it first. If it's positive, I will let you know. If it's negative, then you should listen to Wilson and not read it."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and clicked on the news.

However, when she read the eye-catching headlines, an indignant expression appeared on Rosie's face. 

Looking at Rosie's expression, Alina frowned slightly. "Rosie, what's wrong?"

"F*ck, does this reporter have no moral or ethical values?" Rosie was furious.

Alina's curiosity was aroused. "What exactly was written on the headlines? Let me take a look!"

Rosie dodged to prevent Alina from snatching her phone away. "I think it's better for you to not know." 

"What does it matter? I just want to have a look," Alina insisted.

Rosie regretted it. If she had known this would happen, she would not have aroused Alina's curiosity.

Rosie tried to dismiss her. "Alina, listen to Wilson. You shouldn't read the news." 

"If so, I'll read the news using my phone," Alina said as she took out her phone from the ba. She opened the trending news and read the headlines. 

The headlines screamed, "A family feud broke out because of Miss Alina during Mr. Scott's birthday celebration. How will this affect the leadership of Scott Group?" 

Seeing that Alina had read the news, Rosie asked, "Alina, what happened at Mr. Scott's birthday celebration?"

Alina smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. I told you before that the Scott Family's eldest son is at odds with Wilson's family."  

"But what does it have to do with you? Why are you in the headlines? It mentioned that you were the cause of the fight!" Rosie replied indignantly. 

She didn't read the article under the headlines. There was a photo published with two distinguished ladies in the frame. Alina was nowhere to be seen. 

Alina explained with a smile, "That day, Wilson's grandfather said he wanted to give me 5% of his shares. It was probably the fuse that set off the huge argument."

"What? Mr. Scott wanted to give you his shares? Oh my god, 5% of the Scott Group's shares! Alina, you're going to be stinking rich! That means I'm the best friend of a rich woman. We can look forward to a cushy life now!" Rosie said in an exaggerated tone. She planned to tease Alina and lighten the mood. 

Alina interrupted, "However, I didn't accept the shares."

"You are so stupid!" Rosie knew that Alina could be stubborn to a fault.

"So, Grandfather said that he would give the shares to me as a wedding gift once Wilson and I get married."

"That's great. By the way, when will you be having your wedding with Wilson? You've already gotten your marriage certificates and have fallen in love with each other. You should hold a wedding soon."

"The ceremony will be in March of next year!" As she mentioned the wedding, a smile reappeared on Alina's face. 

In fact, Rosie didn't have to worry about Alina. The negative press had no effect on her at all. 

"I want to be your maid of honour!" Rosie declared.

"Of course, no problem!" Alina's tone was adamant as well. Since she was getting married, Rosie should definitely be her bridesmaid. 

"Don't take the news to heart." Rosie tried to comfort her. 

Alina had already kept her phone in her bag. She replied with a smile, "False rumours like that won't upset me at all. You worry too much."

She wasn't that fragile! 

"That's good." Seeing that Alina's mood didn't seem to be affected, Rosie was a little relieved. She served Alina more meat and said, "You need to eat more. There are still four months left before the wedding ceremony. The wedding dress won't look nice on a skinny frame like yours."  

"You really think too far about these things!" Alina laughed.

Suddenly, Alina's phone beeped with a notification. She took out her phone and saw that the Scott Group's shares had dropped in price. She waved her phone at Rosie. "The price of Scott Group's shares have dropped after we sold. Aren't you happy about that?" 

"Really? That's great. What is the happiest thing when trading stocks? It's to buy low and sell at the highest price! Tomorrow's lunch will be my treat." Rosie was in a good mood and she forgot her dilemma regarding Bill.

After the meal, both of them returned to the design department. They sat down at the same table opposite each other and concentrated on their work. From time to time, they looked up and smiled at each other.

In Alina's opinion, this was the epitome of a blissful life. She had her best friend at her side, working in the same field, and sitting at the same office table. 

She had a man whom she loved. They were already registered to be married and were a legitimate couple.

While she thought about this, she received a text message from Wilson, "Lina, wait for me. I'll fetch you after work!"

She smiled down at her phone and replied, "Okay!" 

Rosie teased her jokingly, "Is Wilson coming to pick you up?"

"Yes," Alina responded with a smile. 

"How wonderful!" Rosie smiled and continued working with her head down. 

About an hour later, a car stopped nearby Alina's office, approximately 200 meters away. 

Alina had requested for Wilson to park further away as she didn't want to attract unwanted attention. 

When it was time to get off work, Alina ran towards the car happily.

Rosie noticed Alina running happily towards the car and smiled knowingly. Finally, Alina found the happiness that she deserved. 

Alina got into the passenger seat with Wilson at the wheel.

The two of them were very affectionate with each other. Wilson had to hold Alina's hand even while he was driving. 

He manoeuvred the steering wheel with one hand as he talked to Alina cheerfully.   

"Are you feeling tired after work?" 

"I'm not tired!" Alina smiled and shook her head.

"It's good that you're not tired. Jayden will come over to the Scott's house tonight. You shouldn't delay your training in self-defence."

"Do I still have to practise?"  Alina pouted like a spoiled child. "I'm exhausted from the training yesterday, my limbs are about to fall apart. It still hurts so much. Can't we wait until we return to our apartment for the next training session?"
