A Crazy One-night Stand

Chapter 97 Four Eligible Bachelors of Jameson City

At the design department of Imperial Landscapes.

After a few days of leave, Rosie finally appeared.

At noon, Alina invited her to have a meal somewhere near the office.

The dishes were not yet served.

Rosie's nose was in a magazine and she approached Alina with a shocked expression on her face.

"Alina, Alina, you definitely don't know about this. Look, these are the four most eligible bachelors of

Jameson City!" She pointed at a picture in the magazine and showed it to Alina.

Alina glanced at the picture and saw four familiar faces. They were Wilson, Jayden, Bill, and Nielsen.

Who would have expected that they were the four famous bachelors?

Rosie had a bitter expression on her face. She gave a huge sigh. "Alina, I'm really in trouble this time!"

Alina couldn't help but frown. "What's up?"

The reason Alina invited Rosie for a meal was to ask her what had happened during her

disappearance. Besides, Rosie sounded nervous over the phone when Alina called her several times.

Rosie sighed and shook her head. "Hey, Alina, why do you think I'm so miserable? This time, I'm

doomed."

"What is it?" Alina frowned. What could possibly be such a disaster?

Rosie didn't want to keep Alina in suspense. Besides, she had been trying her best to keep the incident

to herself, which made her feel really depressed.

She said with a dejected expression, "I had sex with Bill."

"What?" Alina cried out in alarm. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Keep it down! Don't shout!" Rosie buried her head on the table and lowered her voice. "I'm begging

you, keep this a secret!"

Her face was flushed.

Alina was still in disbelief. She lowered her voice and probed further, "Are you saying that you slept

with Bill?"

Hearing Alina's words, Rosie's cheeks flamed red.

"Is that so?" Alina asked again.

Rosie nodded helplessly. "Yes. I really don't know how it happened. Alina, what do you think I should

do?"

Rosie grabbed Alina's hand and pleaded for help.

"That day, I did drink some alcohol. After that, Bill brought me to his place to sober up. I was intoxicated

and in my drunken state, I mistook Bill for Damon. However, I couldn't remember anything from that

night. The next morning when I woke up, I saw Bill wrapped in a blanket, with a woeful expression on

his face. He said that I have to take responsibility for taking away his virginity."

Just thinking about the scene was already enough for Alina to burst out laughing.

Rosie was furious. She pointed her finger at Alina. "You monster! Alina, how could you laugh at my

plight? What should I do? He's one of the most eligible bachelors of Jameson City. I really can't afford

to upset him, but I have nowhere to hide. I'm so vexed right now!"

Alina laughed even louder. This was just too much for her to bear! Whenever she imagined Bill

wrapped in a blanket and demanding for Rosie to take responsibility, she couldn't help but roar with

laughter.

"Stop laughing. What are you laughing at?" Rosie was really angry.

With extreme difficulty, Alina managed to stop herself from laughing out loud, but she couldn't hide her

expression of mirth.

Rosie glared at her. "I say, you seem really carefree. Your life must have been quite comfortable

recently!"

Alina was elated when Rosie shifted the topic to her life. "That's right! These days, I feel like I'm living

in a dream. It's fate that brought me and Wilson together! Women really need to be nourished by love."

In front of Rosie, she could truly be herself. Alina knew that Rosie was the only person in the world who

would sincerely wish her well. Therefore, she wanted Rosie to share in her happiness. Rosie would be

happy for her as well.

Rosie rolled her eyes. "Alright, I know you love Wilson more than me. Now that you have found true

love, you don't even care about me anymore. Hurry up and think of a solution!"

Alina raised her eyebrows. "Bill is a good man. Since you've slept with him, you should take up the

responsibility!"

It was said that the best way to forget someone was to start another relationship. In the past, she did

not believe that, so she struggled in pain for the last three years. If she had met Wilson earlier, she

might have moved on and learnt to be happy sooner.

Since getting into another relationship could help someone move on, Alina certainly hoped that Rosie

could find her own happiness as soon as possible. Bill was a good person. If Bill and Rosie could get

together, it would be perfect!

Rosie clenched her teeth in anger. "Alina, you've gone too far!"

Alina chuckled. "No, I haven't!"

"Yes, you have!"

"No!"

"Geez, help me think of a way out!"

"I think you really should take responsibility for Bill. Anyway, you've already slept with him." Alina

couldn't help laughing again.

Rosie grabbed a fork and threw it at her in jest.

Alina giggled happily.

Rosie rolled her eyes again. Her mood lightened considerably.

Although she was still upset over her issues, at least Alina was happy. That was all she asked for!

Rosie stopped worrying about what to do with Bill and inspected Alina's face closely. "Alina, I realised

that you are really smiling a lot more recently!"

"Really?"

"Yes! Look, you're smiling again."

Their dishes were served.

Alina served some meat for Rosie.

Conversely, Rosie placed some vegetables on Alina's plate.

Rosie raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't even know how beautiful your complexion looks right

now. You seem like you are smiling from the inside out. Your smile is so captivating and charming."

"Nonsense!" Alina laughed and stuffed some meat into Rosie's mouth.

Rosie chewed the piece of meat and swallowed it. "It's true. You are full of smiles now. That's great, I

feel relieved. The happy and cheerful side of you is finally back."

Alina laughed again and said half-jokingly, "Since you and Damon have broken up, I think Bill is a good

candidate. Why don't you take him into consideration?"

Rosie blushed and replied angrily, "Take Bill into consideration? Alina, you better stop bringing him up

in the future, or I'll cut off our friendship. It's just an accident! Do you understand? It happened while the

both of us were drunk. Don't you know who Bill is? F*ck. He's the director of Lanthem Hospital, whose

reputation is well-known internationally. Besides, he's one of the four most eligible bachelors of

Jameson City! Just thinking about him makes my stomach churn. He seems so high up and

unreachable."

Alina opened her mouth to calm Rosie down.

However, Rosie's face suddenly lit up inexplicably as she continued, "Well, in fact, I didn't get the short

end of the stick, did I? Bill is a reputable man and has a distinguished status. Who would have

expected me to sleep with the director of Lanthem Hospital? What an achievement!"

Alina burst into laughter. "That's right, I'm proud of you!"

Rosie rolled her eyes and continued eating the dishes in front of her. As she chewed on the food, she

asked, "By the way, Alina, are you going to the reunion on the tenth of next month?"

Alina shook her head. "No, I'm not going!"

Rosie frowned. "Didn't you move on from your relationship with Ken? Why aren't you going to the

reunion? You should attend!"

"I'm not going!" Alina shook her head again.

Rosie insisted, "Why not? Just go to the reunion!"

"No, I'm not going and that's final!"

"Why won't you go to the reunion? Wilson is the richest man in Jameson City. With him backing you up,

you have nothing to worry about. Go ahead and slap the faces of those b*tches like Amber. D*mn it,

none of them have good intentions." Rosie clenched her fists in anger. When she thought of Amber's

sarcastic jibes, she could feel anger rise up within her.

When Amber called her, the first thing she said was, "Are you still friends with Alina?

"No wonder you still can't make it big. You've been working as an assistant designer for so many years.

"Look at the others who have long since broken ties with Alina. They are now famous designers and

artists. However, you are still the same as before."

Rosie couldn't remember what else Amber had said, but she really hoped that Alina would bring Wilson

to the reunion. When she imagined Amber and the other classmates falling over themselves to curry

favour with Alina, she felt extremely pleased.

Alina stood her ground. "I'm not going! There's no need to waste time and energy on people irrelevant

to my life."

Rosie pressed her lips together. "You're so indifferent. I'm telling you, if I find a man like Wilson, I'm

going to show him off to women like Amber every day. I'll boast about his wealth and gloat over his

achievements in front of them. It's their fault that they're such snobbish, pretentious pricks."

Alina smiled and said teasingly, "In fact, you should bring Bill to the reunion. Bill is more capable of

creating drama than Wilson!"

"Alina..." Rosie warned Alina with a glare, looking like she was about to lose her temper.

Alina immediately changed the topic. She said in a serious tone, "By the way, Rosie, I've been very

inspired recently. I already have a draft for the third stage of our landscape designs. I'll bring the draft to

the office tomorrow. Please help me take a look."

"Sure!" Rosie nodded, her expression overjoyed. "That's great. I've told you before that you should

have gotten into a relationship and moved out earlier. You see, without stress from your mother,

inspiration will flow easily when you have a good mood and a healthy state of mind. In my opinion, if

you continue working like this, you would be renowned in the field of landscape design in no time."

"You're good at flattery!" Alina smiled happily.

Rosie smiled and shook her head. "How nice it is to be a woman showered with love. I'm really

envious."

Alina laughed. "So, you should also find a new lover as soon as possible. In my opinion, Bill is the best

candidate."

"F*ck, don't mention him again."

"Alright, alright! I won't talk about him. Let me answer a call." Alina took out her phone that was ringing.

She answered the call with a sweet and gentle voice, "Hello!"

Rosie couldn't help rolling her eyes. Seeing the expression on Alina's face, she knew that the caller

was Wilson.

Throughout the call, Alina had a wide smile on her face. "Alright, I'll sell them now.

"Same to you. Don't tire yourself out.

"Remember to have lunch.

There are some tasks that you should delegate to others."

"Alright, I'll stay away from the internet. I won't read the negative press.

"Yes, I will trust you!"

...

After hanging up, Alina stared at the phone in her hand with a dazed smile.

Rosie knocked on the table with her knuckles. "All right, come back to earth. I'm going to be sick if you

continued smiling at your phone. Have some pity on me who had just broken up!"

Alina laughed sheepishly and put her phone away. She leaned forward and whispered, "Rosie, Wilson

told me to sell the Scott Group's shares."

"Can we sell it now?" Rosie suddenly became enthusiastic. "I've been waiting for the news for a long

time. Although it feels very good to see the share price increase day by day, I don't feel at ease without

taking some profit. On one hand, I want to make more money, but on the other, I'm worried about the

risks in the volatile stock market. Finally, it's time to sell. What a relief! Should we sell the shares

now?"

"Yes." Alina nodded.

Both of them took out their mobile phones and sold their Scott Group's shares immediately.
