The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1612

It happened swiftly - a man with the air of a restaurant manager made his way towards them.

Upon spotting him, he greeted with a smile and a slight bow, "Sir, right this way."

Craig followed to the private dining room 808. As the door swung open, he saw about a dozen people inside, a mix of men and women.

But his eyes immediately found Aurora, who had dozed off on the table.

Given her well-known background, nobody dared to disturb her sleep.

"Is that Aurora's boyfriend?" A man seated not far from Aurora was the first to speak up.

The guy who had been in touch over the phone nodded, "That's him."

Craig, not much for words and having had a bit to drink, walked straight over, gently lifted Aurora in his arms, and made to leave.

No one dared stop him, but as Craig closed the door behind him, he could still catch the murmur of voices.

"How is he a match for Aurora? He reeks of poverty! What's he wearing, looks like a rag!"

"She's a Lopez heiress!"

"Let it be, just drop it…"

…

Craig carried Aurora and hailed a cab.

After giving Aurora's address to the driver, he glanced at her, sleeping soundly in his arms, and decided to head to his place instead.

If she were to be left alone and felt unwell, there'd be no one to look after her.

"Mmm…" As they neared his place, Aurora furrowed her brows, shifted, and then sleepily opened her eyes. "Craig?"

"Yeah."

"How… why are you…"

He pursed his lips, "You were drunk. Your friend called me to pick you up."

"Oh."

After a brief reply, she snuggled back into his embrace to continue sleeping.
