Chapter 9: Mr. Wilson Scott
Wilson had been so busy with the new contract that he couldn't make time to meet Jayden. He had asked Jayden to find out who drugged him that night.
Jayden was a carefree person and enjoyed life to the fullest. Jayden's house had a beautiful view and was surrounded by nature. The only flaw was its location. His residence was about a two-hour drive from the city.
Wilson did not have time to drive all the way to Jayden's house. That day, Jayden was employed to take on a new case worth 30 million dollars. The client had made an appointment with Jayden personally in the city. Seeing that it was on his way, Jayden brought with him the materials Wilson had asked for a few days ago.
Jayden contacted Wilson before meeting his client. "Wilson, I am at Aspen coffee for an appointment. I'll meet you at your office in about 20 minutes?"
"Aspen coffee?" Wilson looked around for a moment. What a coincidence. He replied, "You don't have to go to my office, I'm at Aspen coffee too. Where's your room? I'll come over after 20 minutes!" "Well, aren't you in a rush to find out who drugged you? Where were you the last few days? Why didn't you pay me a visit?" Jayden said teasingly.
"I'm busy with work! Hanging up now. See you later!"
Jayden hung up the phone and strode into the cafe. "This client was willing to offer me 30 million dollars just for a simple investigation like this. It really is the fastest way to get money from these rich and powerful families."
Wilson sped up his negotiations and signed an exclusive supply agreement with Harry Adams, president of the Adams Family. After making some small talk, he excused himself and left the booth with the agreement hastily.
Harry sighed as Wilson left. "Indeed, young people nowadays are much more capable. In spite of his young age, he could think of such an impressive proposal. No businessman would turn down a mutually beneficial offer like this!" Harry couldn't help thinking of his daughter, Monica Adams. She was already 21 this year, she should start finding a suitable candidate to marry.
Wilson left the booth and looked at his watch. His meeting took approximately 19 minutes, just in time to meet Jayden. He had always been punctual, regardless of work or play. It was a sign of respect for others.
Who could it be? The person behind this must have not thought about the consequences of playing such a dirty trick on him. They must be tired of living!
Wilson walked towards Jayden's booth. As he passed by, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. "Alina?" He heard her voice saying sarcastically, "You were the one who ended our relationship, isn't it?" Wilson frowned and stopped in his tracks.
She sounded like she was talking to her ex-boyfriend. What in the world was going on?
A man standing beside Alina was gripping her hand tightly. He said angrily, "After all that you have done, did you think that I would do nothing about it?"
Another woman was there as well. She comforted the man, "Ken, let her go. It is all in the past now. We are going to get married, I will love you with all my heart!"
Alina sneered at them. "She's right for once. You are engaged to someone else, here you are holding on to my hand. Mr. Anderson, isn't this inappropriate?" "Wench!" Ken let go of Alina and flung her hand away.
Wilson saw and heard everything that had happened. As Ken flung Alina's hand away, she lost her balance and was about to fall. Without thinking twice, Wilson quickly ran forward and caught Alina. No matter what kind of relationship she had with this Mr. Anderson, she was being bullied at this moment. Whether it was the fact that he took her virginity, or they were going to start a loveless marriage together, he felt that it was necessary for him to stand up for Alina.
What right did this man have to Alina a wench? She was still a virgin! On the other hand, who was this other woman clinging onto him anyway?
Wilson held Alina in his arms and spoke to Ken in a surly voice. "Mr. Anderson, you owe me an explanation for manhandling my wife in broad daylight."
Alina raised her head and met Wilson's eyes. He saw a flash of gratitude in her eyes.
Ken and Anne were both shocked at Wilson's sudden appearance. Wilson's powerful aura filled the entire booth.
Anne glared at Alina with jealousy and hatred.
Ken looked at Wilson, puzzled. "Is she your wife?" Ken couldn't believe that the baby in the photo three years ago was the child of this man. At that time, Alina was still in Ritz City. How was that possible? "What, does my wife need to carry her marriage certificate around all the time to prove herself?" Wilson replied coldly.
"That's not what I meant!" Ken retorted.
"Well then, what did you mean?" Wilson pressed Ken further for an explanation. He nibbled on Alina's collarbone gently and glared back at Ken.
Wilson looked back at Alina, his eyes drawn to the indentation of his teeth marks on her delicate collarbone. He felt a little sorry for hurting her and kissed lightly on that area instinctively.
The moment Wilson's lips touched Alina's warm skin, he couldn't stop at just a gentle peck.
His arms wrapped around her body tightly. As if there were no one else in the room, he leaned in and kissed her passionately.
He left a trail of kisses from her collarbone, her neck, and lastly on her lips.
His hand left her waist and grabbed the back of her head, deepening the kiss...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
