Chapter 93: Why Is He Here?
“Are you serious?”
“Of course. I trust my gut feeling.”
“All right. I’ll consider it.” Selene took a sip and smiled.
“Really?” Mike smiled, a little surprised.
“Yes, I also want to settle down and start a family.” She said and smiled.
They then started drinking happily. Maybe it was because it was her birthday, but Selene didn’t seem to hold back at all with the alcohol.
After a while, they were both quite drunk.
It was midnight by the time they were done. They left the bar holding onto each other and walking on unsteady legs.
Mike held on to Selene as they stopped on the pavement. “Don’t forget to think about my proposition when you get home.”
Selene felt dizzy but didn’t care. “I certainly will. You’re handsome and rich.”
“And good in bed,” Mike added, laughing.
“Really?” Selene was drunk and in a hot mood.
“Yes. I can show you if you want.”
“Sure.” Selene staggered.
Mike stopped a taxi and asked the driver to take them to a nearby 5-star hotel.
Alcohol made Selene lose her senses.
She held out her hand.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Her hand touched the man next to her, whose body temperature was as high as hers.
“Selene, you’re drunk.”
She heard a familiar voice, but she wasn’t sure from where. The situation felt unreal, and it made her even dizzier.
So she held the real man tightly.
They two soon hugged and ended up lying on a soft sheep. A sheep that, for some reason, started shaking.
When Selene woke up the next day, she found herself in a strange bed in a luxury room.
She rubbed her forehead and tried to remember what had happened. Then, finally, she remembered having had drinks with Mike at the bar.
She sat up on the bed, looked at the ground, and found her clothes splattered on the floor. There were also some used condoms.
She patted her forehead anxiously. She couldn’t believe that she had had a one-night stand once again.
There came the sound of running water from the bathroom. Someone was taking a shower. But she could only see the outline of the person through the steamed-up glass doors.
She swiftly picked up her clothes and put them on.
Though she couldn’t remember the details of the previous night, she could tell that it had been quite intense, judging by her torn undergarments.
Luckily, it was winter, so her coat would hide it.
She had mixed feelings and was in a hurry to leave so she wouldn’t have to deal with the situation.
She quietly walked away, and when she walked by the washing room, she glanced at the door and was surprised by the man’s figure.
Mike looked slender when dressing up, but she found out how muscular and defined he actually was when naked.
When Selene got back to her apartment, she walked past Austin’s door and saw a girl with messy hair stealthily walking out of his apartment.
She recognized the girl- it was his business partner’s sister. She remembered them as enemies. Even Austin, who was a very even-tempered person, couldn’t stand her.
But now, this happened.
Selene glanced at her, but the girl smiled and looked at Selene from head to toe. “You too?” She asked.
“You better not hurt him. He’s a nice guy.”
“I won’t.” The girl cried.
“Okay then. And mind your own business.” Selene shook her hand.
When she got back to her apartment, she sat down on the sofa powerlessly and rubbed her forehead.
She realized that she was not brave enough to face what had happened.
It wasn’t a big deal to have a one-night stand. But she and Mike were work colleagues, and she couldn’t pretend it had never happened.
Even if she wanted to date him, it was a mistake to start it off this way.
She pulled at her own hair angrily.
Why did I make the same mistake again?
Selene was asleep for a long time before being woken up by the sound of the doorbell.
The ring frightened her as it brought back the memories of the previous night. But then she relaxed, realizing that Mike was probably used to this situation as he had a lot of experience dating around.
She then got out of the bed and opened the door. She found Austin standing there, with disheveled hair and looking panicked.
Austin’s anxiety was showing through his trembling hand as he reached out and grabbed Selene’s arm. “I’ve made a big mistake. What should I do?” He shouted.
“What have you done?” Of course, Selene knew the reason already, as he had seen the girl leaving Austin’s apartment that morning, but she feigned ignorance and grinned.
Austin rubbed his face. “I had a one-night stand with my business partner’s younger sister, Emma. I hate her!”
“Then how did it happen if you hate her? Don’t tell me you were drunk.”
“I may have had a few drinks.” Austin swallowed.
“Don’t worry too much about it. I saw the girl leaving your apartment this morning. She seemed quite nonchalant about what had happened.”
Austin looked like he had seen a ghost and had not said anything for a while.
“Austin. Be honest. You like her, don’t you?” Selene gave him a mock accusatory look, but she laughed inwardly.
“I don’t know. My only love experience is with you, but that was mixed with a lifetime of friendship. I find her obnoxious, but when I don’t see her, I find myself missing her.”
“Congrats, Austin. You’ve fallen in love.” Selene laughed.
Austin felt uneasy and scratched the back of his head. “Don’t laugh. Please tell me what I should do! I called her this morning when I saw she was gone, but she told me not to take it seriously.”
Selene could not stop laughing. “Don’t believe what she’s saying. She’s probably taking it more seriously than you think.”
“What should I do now?”
“Apologize and give her a small gift to confess your feelings for her.”
“What gift? I don’t think she needs anything.”
