Help! My One-Night Stand Is Examining Me?!

Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Their imagination

Eve: [I’m going to personally verify if it’s the real deal. If it is, you’re set for life, so hurry up and grab onto that pervert’s leg, no, no, no, I mean, your darling boyfriend’s leg!]

Alana scoffed.

This friend of hers was really something.

**************

Meanwhile, Stephan arrived at the office, striding in with a spring in his step.

Employees passing by saw him and greeted him.

“Good morning, CEO!”

He gave a slight nod, the corners of his mouth curving upward. “Good morning.”

The employee he had responded to was both shocked and delighted. The CEO actually responded to him and greeted him back?

And he even smiled at him!

Oh my gosh, he’s really made it!

Almost every employee who greeted Stephan today received a cheerful response from him.

They all began to wonder.

Wasn’t this the same aloof, stoic, and

unapproachable CEO they knew?

It felt like someone had possessed the CEO today, not only was he not aloof, but he was

also giving off a faintly flirty vibe.

Was it just their imagination?

Vance walked up to Stephan. “CEO, there’s a business dinner tonight...”

Stephan replied casually, “Cancel it. I just started dating someone, and I want to spend all my time off with my darling.”

Vance gasped.

He was shell-shocked.

The CEO was actually in a relationship?!

Did this mean the eternal bachelor had finally found love?

He blurted out, “Is it a guy or a girl?”

Stephan shot Vance a glance. “It’s definitely not you.”

Vance gave a sheepish laugh. Of course he knew it wasn’t him, otherwise, would that even make sense?

Stephan instructed, “Go order me a bouquet of flowers. I need it by the time I get off work this afternoon.”

Vance eyed him. “Ahem, ahem, ahem. Alright, then.”

He didn’t know the boss had this side to him. He was suddenly such a lovesick puppy who would spare no means at spoiling his partner silly.

Stephan looked at Vance and said pointedly, “Remember this, my girlfriend’s name is Alana. She’s incredibly beautiful, the most beautiful woman in the world!”

“Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also gentle and considerate, kind and generous. In short, she’s perfect in every way, no other woman can compare to her.”

Vance was perplexed.

Wait, Mr. President, no matter how beautiful or kind your girlfriend is, what does that

have to do with him?! Could you please stop showing off in front of him?!

Was his boss just trying to mock him for being single?

Despite his inner rant, he still had to pay lip service on the surface.

“Hehe, Mr. Hudson, congratulations on landing the most beautiful girlfriend in the whole world.”

Stephan’s lips curled upward. “Of course. After all, I’m a very fortunate man.”

Vance sighed.

He felt his boss was about to become even more unbearable.

****

Not only did Stephan show off in front of his assistant, but once he got to his office, he even sent a message to his group chat with his buddies.

Stephan: [I have a girlfriend now. Please don’t invite me to gatherings or anything like that unless you absolutely have to, otherwise, my girlfriend will get jealous.]

The moment the message went out, the group exploded.

Buddy #1: [What? You have a girlfriend?!Stephan, you’ve always been the eternal single guy, how could you have gotten a girlfriend?!]

Buddy #2: [Exactly! Your whole persona has crumbled!!!]

Buddy #3: [Who’s the girlfriend? Bring her out for us to check when you get a

chance! We need to see who finally broke you!]

Buddy #4: [How old is she? What does she look like?!]

Stephan was in a good mood and didn’t mind his friends’ teasing remarks.

Stephan: [I know you guys are eager, but don’t get too excited. My girlfriend is so beautiful that I’m afraid you’ll all have a crush on her, so I’m not bringing her out yet. I’ll wait until we’ve solidified our relationship first.]

The whole group of friends were speechless.

Was Stephan’s phone stolen?

Gary then sent him a private message too.

Gary: [Has the male mistress really taken over?!]

Stephan frowned. What did he mean, a male mistress had taken the lead? What a tactless thing to say!

Hmph, he was not going to respond!

He was the undisputed main man now!

***********

It was break time at noon.

Alana politely declined Carla’s invitation to have lunch together at the staff cafeteria and rushed to meet Eve.

Eve couldn’t wait until evening and had wanted to meet right now.

Her car had already arrived at the company entrance.

While waiting for the elevator, Alana ran into Cole.

He looked at her with a gentle expression, just as he always had, offering a casual greeting.

“In such a hurry, where are you off to?”

Alana replied succinctly, “I have something to take care of.”

Cole couldn’t help but ask, “What is it?”

“Something important.”

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Alana left Cole behind and stepped

inside.

Cole frowned and followed her inside.

When she saw him enter, she frowned slightly but said nothing; she simply pressed the button for the last floor.

Cole stared at her and said earnestly, “Lana, it’s been a while since we last saw each other. Don’t be so distant with me.”

Alana lowered her gaze and replied coolly, “Manager Cole, since we haven’t seen each

other in so long, it means we’re not meant to see each other. Let’s just be strangers.”

“Strangers?” Cole’s eyes darkened. “Lana, I’ve known you for years. Is it really appropriate for us to be strangers?”

Alana bit her lip, momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing her mood suddenly turn gloomy, Cole softened his tone.

“I’m sorry, I was a bit harsh. But I don’t want you to act so cold every time you see me. I still hope you’ll be as close to me and rely on me as you used to.”

He recalled Alana from the past, with her two cute pigtails, chasing after him and

calling out his name so sweetly.

Her voice was soft and nice, utterly adorable.

She had been a natural beauty from a young age, with naturally fair skin, and

wherever she went, people couldn’t take their eyes off her.

Back then, it was he who helped her fend off one suitor after another before he started courting him himself.

Every inch of her exudes a pure, innocent charm, yet she also radiated a captivating,

alluring sensuality.

Her figure was slender and graceful, with a full bust and rounded hips.

Her waist was as slender as the narrow neck of a porcelain vase, so slim a man could encircle it with one hand.

Her legs are fair and slender, so smooth they seem to glow. A classic hourglass figure, every inch of her body was perfectly proportioned. Cole wondered how and why he ever left her for someone else.

It turns out Sophia was just jealous of Alana and she made a plan to prove to herself that she was better than Alana by stealing her man.

And Cole had fallen for that Vixen because she was from a rich family. She ended up using him and dumping him. Now, she was with a very wealthy mogul.

Cole felt so stupid for messing up what he had with Alana. He badly regretted what he had done.

Alana paused for a moment, then said earnestly, “Cole. We’re not together anymore. I can do whatever I want on my own. So I’m not the girl you used to know and I’d never rely on you again.”

Hearing her call him just Cole made him feel touched as if he were seeing the girl who had once relied on him completely.

“Lana, you can still rely on me. Even if we’re no longer together, you can still...”

Alana interrupted softly, raising her eyes to meet his. “Cole, are you really someone I can rely on?”

Cole froze, staring at the girl’s earnest, serious expression.

His throat felt as if it were blocked by a cork, and for a moment, he couldn’t speak.

The next second, the elevator doors opened.

Seeing Cole’s stunned expression, Alana’s lips curled into a faint, mocking smile as she stepped out of the elevator.

Suddenly, the man’s somewhat urgent voice rang out behind her. “Lana, you can do it! You can always rely on me from now on. I will never let you down.”

Alana’s eyes flickered slightly.

Is that so?
