A Crazy One-night Stand

The song and dance in the banquet hall had already begun. The lights flickered as the melodious music brought many people to the dance floor.

Alina sat down on a sofa and rested her wine glass on a table. She reached down and massaged her ankle. Her high heels made her feet ache all night.

"You may have struck gold to be married to Mr. Wilson, but you are still a country bumpkin at heart!" Alina heard Anne's voice behind her. Anne sat down on the sofa opposite Alina, elegantly sipping some red wine. She spoke haughtily, her nose in the air. "I'm getting married to Ken soon!" She could not wait to rub the news in Alina's face.

Alina could not help but laugh. She looked at Anne and said, "Haven't I addressed you as 'Mrs. Anderson' before this? Why, are you still insecure?"

"Alina, you should worry about yourself! Look at Mr. Wilson and Miss Monica, they look perfect together!" Anne taunted as she nodded her head towards them. Monica was clinging onto Wilson's arm, smiling sweetly.

"Speaking of that, the woman next to Ken isn't too bad either! Compared to the youthful Miss Monica, she is obviously more feminine!" Alina retorted.

She did not hate Anne, nor did she blame her for coming between her and Ken. In Alina's opinion, a relationship should be about the trust between two persons. Real love would not be so easily shaken. However, she looked down on two-faced women like Anne. On one hand, she could plead and beg on her knees to achieve her goals. Once she had her way, she would reveal her arrogant and ungrateful self. Alina was disgusted and annoyed by Anne more than she hated her.

Anne immediately looked in the direction of Alina's gaze, searching for Ken. He told her he would be chatting with the president of Moore Group. Although Anderson Group was well-known and established, they were still new to Jameson City.

Anne wholly supported Ken and his career.

Once Ken left, Anne looked for Alina impatiently. She wanted to gloat to Alina about her good news. She was overjoyed because Ken had verbally promised that their wedding would be on the agenda soon. She felt that all her efforts were coming to fruition.

At this moment, Anne saw Ken dancing with a beautiful woman in a purple dress. She was so furious that she clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes glittered with anger.

Alina smiled calmly. "Mrs. Anderson, this is unbecoming. High-value men like them are always surrounded by many women. Just close one eye and be understanding!" Anne glared maliciously at Alina and strode over to Ken. She had lost interest in taunting Alina. She had to know, who was the woman in purple?

After Anne left, Alina shook her head and sighed. Women deeply in love were so pitiful!

Anyhow, it was none of her business. She had her own problems to deal with. Who was she to worry about others and their problems? Ignoring these thoughts, she quietly took out her phone and sent a Facebook message to Morgan. "Is everything okay with Mike?"

Morgan replied immediately, "Everything is fine, don't worry!"

"Hasn't he woken up yet?"

"No, but the doctor came and said that everything was normal. Mike should wake up before tomorrow."

"That's good!" Alina felt a little relieved. She hoped that after the banquet, she could go back to the hospital. She really hoped that Mike would get better soon!

"Have you waited for a long time?" Alina heard Wilson's voice as he stood in front of her, his tall figure imposing. He was smiling at her.

"No, I'm fine!" Alina replied with a smile.

"Sorry for making you wait. Let's walk around for a little while, then we can leave early. It won't offend anyone!" Wilson offered his hand and helped Alina up. She reached out and held onto his arm.00
