Kevin sat down on the sofa, and poured more than half a glass of red wine for himself. He drank it slowly, but he already felt tipsy.
Then all of a sudden, he burst into laughter. Everyone knew that he did not get drunk easily. How could so little red wine intoxicate him now?
His phone kept ringing, and he frowned at the unknown caller. He had no intention of answering it.
After it rang three times, he received a message.
"Are you insane?" He glared at the phone with cold eyes.
Afterwards, the phone rang once more. When he answered the phone, he heard the nagging voice of a woman. "What the hell do you mean, Kevin? Are you making a fool out of me? Even if our L Group isn't better than AN Group, that doesn't mean that we're not one of the best! You were so impolite to me, and you left me hanging! Are you even human?"
Hearing the drunken voice, Kevin broke into laughter again. "Yes, you're right. I just don't like you. What can you do? I'm a scum that enjoys inflicting pain on other people. It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me. This is just how I am!"
After his snide response, Kevin threw his phone against the wall, causing it to shut down.
In the Starry Hotel, the dim lights illuminated the rooms and gave it an elegant ambiance. But out of all the rooms, the presidential suite was the most luxurious.
A bedroom was connected to the small living room. The duplex style was indeed luxurious. There was a staircase in the middle, which led directly to the second floor.
Rose was wearing a night gown with a mask on her face, but her eyes were brimming with anger. Her long legs were exposed, and she looked a little sexy.
However, the only disappointment was the myriad of bottles in front of her that filled the room with the repugnant smell of alcohol.
"Kevin, you're insane!" Rose gritted her teeth.
Since she lost against Kevin in the meeting last time, he was deliberately toying with her. In a span of three days, every two hours, he would send her a bowl of red dates porridge, some ginseng tea, and all kinds of blood-enriching foods.
On the surface, he said it was for her own good, and that it was a token of the friendship between the two companies. But in reality, he was just trying to taunt her.
"This man is awful. If he keeps this up, I'm going to be tortured to death," Rose murmured.
Her face was turning reddish because of the alcohol, and her eyes were beginning to blur. Somehow, she looked simple but charming.
She rushed out of her room, inebriated. A waiter had been waiting outside, smiling, and carrying a tonic in his hands.
"Hello. Miss Rose."
Suddenly, the door was slammed shut. Rose looked like she had seen a ghost. "Oh my God, it's coming again!"
On the third day, when Rose told Kevin that she had completely recovered, she was relieved that he stopped sending her care packages.
In the East Mountain Villa.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Anne managed to cradle Edward to sleep.
Since eight in the morning, Edward had been crying, so Anne didn't get a moment to rest. At this time, her hair had gotten a little messy, and her face turned a little pale. When she was about to rest, she received a strange phone call.
"Hello, are you Anne Luo? Are you free today? I need to see you!" The person on the other side sounded tough, and Anne had an intuition that the person was not friendly.
She replied, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. Just come out and see me." The arrogant voice reminded Anne of Wendy.
"Sorry, I don't have the time." Anne hung up the phone decisively.
Thankfully, the person didn't call her a second time. She thought it was just some random person trying to provoke her. Maybe Kevin had done something wrong outside?
Anyway, it was none of her business.
But after a while, her phone rang again. It was Kevin. When she saw the number again, her face darkened. She wanted to hang up, but somehow she still answered the phone,
"Kevin, what's the matter?" Her voice was cold.
The sweet voice of a woman responded, "Are you the one Kevin likes?"
Obviously, the woman on the other line was a bit surprised. She thought the person Kevin liked was supposed to be gentle and charming, but she did not expect that Anne would turn out to be so frigid.
"It doesn't matter. If you like him, just take him. There is nothing left between us anymore, just take him!" Anne was annoyed to hear the woman's question. She was barely handling Edward's affairs, so she had no interest in the heroine of Kevin's scandal.
"Is that so?" The voice on the other end of the line was hesitant, but she sounded kind.
"I'm sorry. I don't have anything to do with Kevin. But he's in the hospital right now, getting his stomach pumped because of all the alcohol he's been drinking. You should come and see him." Then the person hung up the phone.
Anne's mood turned stale when she heard the beeping sound of the phone.
'What happened to Kevin?' she muttered.
She left the baby to the servant and drove to the hospital near the Starry Hotel.
There were many people in the hospital. Through the slightly crowded corridor, Anne saw the consulting desk.
"Excuse me, is there a person named Kevin here?" Her voice sounded calm, but there were glints of uneasiness in her eyes.
