Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

With a snort, she took the lunchbox and closed the door.

He looked at the closed door, feeling helpless. Then he went back to Alexander's villa with resignation.

"Did she take it?" Alexander asked.

"Yes," the servant answered and truthfully told him what Heather had said before.

After that, he said nervously, "Master Alexander, Miss Denmark seems to be very angry."

"I see," Alexander nodded and said.

Heather should be angry, but it was good enough as long as she had taken his breakfast. At the very least, their relationship wasn't irreparable.

After eating breakfast, Heather got a call from Randy. Fortunately, it was the weekend today, so she didn't have to think about whether she should go to work at H & C INC. Otherwise, she would be very troubled today.

Heather was a little dejected when she answered the phone.

"Brother…"

"Heather," Randy said lightly, "Carl and Carol want to give you a private dinner tonight to celebrate your graduation. Don't forget."

She slapped her head. She had forgotten about it.

Carl and Carol were both Isaac's children.

They were on good terms with Heather and Randy. Carol had already told Heather about the party. Heather had been spending a lot of time with Alexander over the past few days. If Randy hadn't reminded her, she'd have forgotten all about it.

"Mmm, I know, I'll be there," Heather quickly said.

She hung up the phone and opened the wardrobe. Looking at the clothes inside, she frowned slightly. Her wardrobe was full of casual clothes, and there was no formal dress for her to wear to the party.

Although it was a private party and the people who would come were all friends from their circle, she could not go in casual clothes. However, it seemed a little late for her to prepare an evening dress.

She was worried when the doorbell rang again.

She impatiently went downstairs to open the door. A strange woman was standing outside the door.

"Are you Miss Heather Denmark?" the woman asked with a polite smile.

"Yes." Heather asked in puzzlement, "What can I do for you?"

"Well," the woman explained, "the latest evening dresses you ordered in our store the other day have arrived, so I'm taking them to you..."

"Hold on, when did I order the dresses?" Heather asked in surprise. She didn't have the impression that she had ordered them at all!

"A gentleman whose surname is Christopher ordered it for you the other day," the woman said.

Christopher....

Heather's lips twitched. She already knew that it was Alexander who had ordered the dresses for her.

Alexander had been taking care of her these days. She remembered that she had accidentally mentioned the party to him the other day. She had forgotten all about it, but it was clear that Alexander had been keeping it in mind and had even prepared everything for her.

A strange warmth rose from Heather's heart.

She was really angry that Alexander had lied to her. However, he still considerately took care of her as before, and he did not appear before her as she had requested. All his behavior really made her unable to continue being angry.

But she couldn't understand. Since Alexander and she had known each other before, why was he unwilling to tell her the truth? Did he not know that the more unwilling he was, the more curious she would become?

Several shop assistants brought in five evening dresses.

Heather gave them a look. They were suitable for her temperament and wouldn't look too ceremonious.

After all, it was only a private party, and she wasn't going to an awards ceremony, so the five outfits were all appropriate.

After seeing them off, Heather unconsciously went to the window and slightly opened the curtain to look at Alexander's balcony secretly.

She caught sight of Alexander, who was busy at his desk.

She was slightly dazed.

She had once asked Alexander why he chose to work in his bedroom rather than in his study. At that time, he replied that the study was not facing her room. Furthermore, if he worked in the study, he could not see her, so he chose the bedroom. In this way, he could see her at any time, and she could find him in time whenever she needed him.

Her heart softened somehow. Whatever had happened to her and Alexander, at least she felt that he really liked her.

Maybe... she shouldn't care about the past so much.

Taking a deep breath, she made up her mind.

As soon as Alexander showed up at the party tonight, she would stop being angry and let it go.

In the evening, Heather put on a light blue dress and drive to the party.

The address was an exclusive private club of the Anderson family. When she arrived, she simply said hello to everyone and made up an excuse before she went to the garden for some fresh air.

Alexander... didn't come.

Heather was a little sad in her heart.

Before she had left, she had seen Alexander drive away. If he wasn't at the party, where did he go?

"Heather Denmark?" A familiar voice with a touch of disbelief sounded.

Heather frowned slightly. She looked around and then felt very speechless. Wasn't this a private party? Carl had emptied the club before, but why could she see Malcolm Carter?

She couldn't help frowning. "How did you sneak into this club?"

"Ho-ho, since such a woman like you can also sneak into the club, why can't I get in here?" Malcolm said with shame, anger, and disdain.

She was very speechless before asking, "Do you know who this party is held for?"

"Of course!" he said with a sneer. "This is a special party for Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark Group, and only her friends are allowed to attend it! Is it because you have also heard that she will graduate from our school that you sneak into this place to curry favor with her, trying to get into the upper class's circle?"

Looking at his alert eyes, she felt even more speechless.

She was the star of the party. How could she possibly need to curry favor with herself or her friends? Malcolm probably had no idea how stupid he looked now!

"I don't need to curry favor with Lady Heather Denmark from the Denmark Group," she said with a half-smile.

"Oh? You're not here for her?" he asked in surprise.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Is it... because you knew I would come tonight that you tried to sneak in to look for me?!"
