Alice shook her head, "No, I’ll head back to the apartment later."
The servant looked disappointed, "Miss, why are you moving out? Without you, the house feels so empty."
"I hope to get some experience outside."
"But I heard from Aunt PA that you’ve been through a lot..."
"It’s fine."
As the servant and Alice were talking, two beams of car headlights shone into the villa.
Knowing he was back, Alice put down her coffee and stood up.
Chester walked in from outside, surprised to see Alice already waiting at home.
The servants noticed the way Alice’s eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Chester and tactfully retreated.
"What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chester headed towards the second floor, not intending to stop and speak with her.
Alice stepped forward, blocking Chester’s path.
Chester’s dark eyes were inscrutable, his indifference overshadowed by a touch of depth.
"You said you wanted me to accompany you to the banquet to help the family negotiate business, but you left me on the sidelines the whole time. What was the point of inviting me there?" Alice glared at him, her grievance making it hard to suppress her temper in his presence.
Chester’s long black eyes narrowed slightly, "I thought you were already quite familiar with the Robinson family’s future partner."
Alice was stunned, "What do you mean familiar?"
"Claud Laurence, the future partner of the Robinson winery."
Alice’s eyes widened in shock, "You mean Mr. Laurence?"
"Didn’t he mention it while dancing with you?"
Dancing together...
So he had seen her dancing with Claud Laurence.
Chester brushed past her and continued upstairs.
Alice was stunned for a few seconds before catching up with him. He had already entered his room by the time she reached.
As she was about to step into the room, she suddenly paused at his door.
In fact, the room didn’t belong to him; it was hers. She hadn’t expected that after she moved out, he would simply take over her room.
Without turning around, as he loosened his tie, he seemed aware that she stopped at the door, and he asked, "What, you don’t dare to come in?"
Alice bit her lip.
Chester had already turned around, smiling softly at her.
She saw two buttons of his shirt undone, slightly revealing his muscular chest, and her face flushed slightly as she diverted her gaze. "You said Claud Laurence is our winery’s partner. I want to know what his real identity is?"
"Seventy percent owner of luxury hotels in France, with properties globally, ranked thirty-second on the Forbes billionaire list, currently thirty-three years old, unmarried."
Alice was stupefied.
Chester approached Alice, touched her head, "Now you know why I wanted him to be your partner?"
Alice still hadn’t recovered.
Chester chuckled lightly, "Because he can bring unlimited benefits to the Robinson family."
Alice lowered her head and said, "So you arranged for me to come tonight to get to know him."
"Of course, women always play a leading role in social interactions... Besides, he seems quite interested in you." Chester turned and walked further into the room.
"I’m not a social butterfly." Throwing out this sentence, Alice turned around.
An inexplicable anger made her feel very uncomfortable at that moment.
"Wait," Chester suddenly called out to her.
"What is it?" She stopped, back to the room.
He walked out of the room, came up to her, holding a red square jewelry box in his hand.
She refused to look at him, turning her face aside.
"You women probably have a similar taste; look at this bracelet and see if it’s suitable for a first date gift."
Alice abruptly raised her eyes, looking at the box in his hand, "A date? Who... who are you going to date?"
Chester just gave a light "hmm" sound.
Alice suddenly recalled how he was unusually close to a woman at the banquet tonight. She couldn’t help but ask, "Is it that older woman at the party?"
Chester frowned, "What older woman, she’s only twenty-seven." freeweɓnovel.cøm
"That’s still older than me."
"Of course, you’re still a kid."
"You’re the kid..."
Chester laughed and shook his head, "You, you’ll never grow up."
"I don’t need you to worry about whether I grow up or not..." With that, she snatched the jewelry box from Chester’s hand and took out the bracelet inside.
It was a very simple and elegant platinum bracelet, expensive because of the row of red small diamonds embedded in it.
The bracelet was beautiful and suitable for gifting.
Alice placed the bracelet back in the box and asked, "Weren’t you always hung up on Rebecca Quentin? Why are you thinking of dating another woman?"
