The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Why, Ethan Knight (1) 

What else could Ethan say? So, instead of stopping Alice, he just watched her leave the room.

After she left the room and closed the door, he began contemplating. Am I not good–looking enough? No, it can’t be; I looked pretty handsome when I checked myself in the bathroom just now. So, am I not sexy enough? No, that shouldn’t be the case either. I adjusted myself in the bathroom to look my sexiest. Was I just not seductive enough, then? No way! Didn’t they say that was the most seductive posture? So why did it end in failure? Why?

Meanwhile, Alice looked back after closing the door behind her. She felt that something was odd about the man tonight, but she didn’t think much about it; she was so weary that all she wanted to do right now was sleep. After going back to her room, she fell at once into a deep, dreamless sleep until early morning.

On the contrary, Ethan lay awake in bed, tossing and turning all night until dawn.

The next day, Alice received a text message from Bruce shortly after she got up. Reading the romantic text message, she almost threw up in disgust. Still, she had to keep on acting. Of course, the focus of the text message was still to ask her to steal the tender document, to which she merely replied, ‘OK’ Despite promising to do so, she didn’t do anything.

Nevertheless, she went to work at Galerprises as usual.

That night, Bruce called her right away. The moment she answered the phone, he asked in a voice dripping with tenderness, “Alice, how’s it going? Did you get your hands on the tender document?”

“No, I didn’t,” Alice replied at once. As she didn’t have to pretend over the phone, her face was stony and grim at this moment.

Bruce suggested, “Alice, how about you make an appointment with Mr. Affleck for me tomorrow? I have something to discuss with him.” Now that the tender opening was just around the corner, he was really burning with anxiety.

Alice’s eyes flickered slightly. Should I say he’s too stupid or too clever? “Okay,” she replied nonetheless. Since this guy came up with such a request, she might as well go along with it. After all, if she was going to put on a show, she had to pull out all the stops for it.

“That’s great! Let’s make it tomorrow, then. Just make the appointment at Blue Moon Restaurant at noon tomorrow.” With clear delight in his voice, Bruce set the time and place of the appointment without caring whether it would put Alice in a tight spot. Apparently, he did use his brains a little, for Blue Moon Restaurant was owned by him.

Consequently, Alice made an appointment with Mr. Affleck at Blue Moon Restaurant for real.

Darting a glance at Alice, who was seated across from him, he got even more confused. What the hell is going on here? Why would Alice get me to meet with Bruce? Well, it’s reasonable for her to arrange a meeting between us. Everyone knows that she loves Bruce, after all, so perhaps she wants to do something for him. But why would Mr. Moreno agree to it? 

Mr. Affleck’s eyes blinked rapidly. Is this getting started already? Wait, should I say yes or turn him down? Mr. Moreno didn’t give me any clear instructions on this before I came! He turned to look at Alice, who slowly sipped at her tea as though she were oblivious to this. His heart clenched. So, what the hell’s going on here? Without getting any instructions, he had no choice but to act as he thought fit, saying, “Sorry, but as a member of Galerprises, I have both a responsibility and an obligation to protect everything about the company. Please behave yourself, Mr. Yeager.” With that, he stood up and left instantly.

After leaving the room, he heaved a secret sigh of relief. It’s probably okay for me to act like this, right? But what exactly does Mr. Moreno mean?
