Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Sweetie, is this your first time coming here?" The man began to chat up with Savannah, "I know this place very well. I'm Mike. Would you like to play with me?"

"Do you know the place well?" Savannah paused, looking at him.

"Sure," Mike said at once, "I come here almost every day."

Savannah hurriedly took out her phone and showed Valerie's picture to the man, "have you ever seen this woman?"

Mike glanced at Valerie's photo on the screen and raised his eyebrows.

This woman looked so familiar.

Wait... wasn't she...

Savannah's heart was beating fast when she saw Mike changed color. She had a feeling that the man must have seen her cousin, no, maybe more than that. She immediately asked, "you know her?"

Mike rubbed his chin in quiet deliberation, narrowing his eyes. "Who are you? Why do you ask about her?"

Savannah slightly frowned, "if you have met her, please tell me."

"It's not convenient to talk here. Why don't we go to the box first?" Mike said with his evil smile.

Savannah sensed his malicious intentions, but she had no other choice.

At that moment, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen.

Dylan!

Savannah took a breath. Did he return to Beverly Hills and found her not at home?

She asked Mike to wait for her and went to a quiet place in the back hallway.

"Hi?" She answered the phone with terror.

"Are you asleep?" Dylan's voice was flat and toneless.

Savannah was relieved. It seemed that he was still in the company. "Yeah...I've gone to bed. That's what you called about?" She said calmly.

"Well, I heard that you haven't been sleeping these days easily. Is the baby steady today?"

She bit her lip, "hmm... he's good. I feel sleepy. You can go back to work."

Dylan was silent for a moment and hung up.

Savannah put her phone into her pocket and went back to Mike.

"Sweetie, who called? It's not your boyfriend pushing you back, is it?!" Mike bantered lazily.

"No. Let's go in." Savannah frowned slightly. She must get the information from the man's mouth as soon as possible and went back.

They entered a box.

Once seated, Savannah opened her mouth, "can you tell me now?"

"Be patient, sweetie," Mike called a waiter and ordered several bottles of liquor. He poured two glasses for himself and Savannah and handed her a glass with a smile, "we can talk slowly after two glasses."

Savannah looked at the glass of wine and then glanced at her belly. "No, tell me what you know. Don't play tricks, or I will go." She refused.

Yes, she always wanted to give up the baby, but this time, she refused to drink because she was afraid of hurting the baby.

Mike frowned and then felt more interested in this difficult girl. He moved nearer to her, "Okay, I tell you. The woman in this picture..." he smiled insignificantly and said with pride, "a few months ago, we had sex here."

Mike was a notorious womanizer, and he had had one-night stands with many women. That woman was in rich apparel and looked young and beautiful, so she made a deep impression on him.

Although Savannah had expected the answer, she was still shocked and remained speechless for a while. Then she looked at Mike coldly, "really? You're not talking big, are you?"

Mike gazed at Savannah unhappily. "Why should I tell a lie? This woman was supple but strong. Oh yeah, I remember that she has a tiny pole on her left breast!"

Savannah had lived in the same house with her cousin for several years. Of course, she also knew that Valerie had a mole on her breast. When she heard this, she could confirm that the man did not lie. Then she asked the date, which turned out to be the same day Valerie quarreled with Monica.

According to Valerie's pregnancy months, that day did coincide with her conception day.

It was supposed that Valerie had a one-night stand in Hot Bird with this Mike after being beaten by Monica.

The real father of the baby in Valerie, not surprisingly, was the man in front of her.

She couldn't help but say to Mike, "please do me a favor."

"What?" Mike frowned

"Prove to the police that you had a one-night stand with this woman a few months ago." Then Valerie would have the motive to push Olivia down the stairs.

Mike was not a fool, he understood immediately. The girl in front of him probably had something to do with the woman in the photo.

"Am I crazy?" He laughed, "what's in it for me? We are now strangers to each other, and I don't want to offend the one who had a one-night stand with me! It does me no good, and it'll affect my reputation. Who dares to sleep with me after that?"

"How much do you want, just say a number!" Savannah sniffed. Would such a pundit care about fame?

Mike saw that she was very urgent, knowing that it must be very important to her. He rolled his eyes and leaned over, whispering to her ear, "I don't want money. I can help you as long as you spend one night with me..."

This girl was a real tootsie. It must be a wonderful experience to have sex with her.

Savannah pushed him away and rose quickly. She knew there's no more talk between them, and she had to leave now. Anyway, she had found the man who had a one-night stand with Valerie, and it was big progress.

She turned around without hesitation, walking to the door.

But how could Mike let her go easily? In a big stride, he came to the door and locked it!

"What are you doing? This is a public place. Are you crazy?" Savannah's face changed. She stared coldly at the drunk man in front of her.

"It's not a public place when the door is closed, sweetie. You asked me so many questions, shouldn't you pay something?" Mike moved closer to her.

"Help! Anyone?" Savannah knocked hard on the door as she shouted loudly. But it was noisy outside, and no one could hear her crying in the box. Even if someone heard, they might think the man and the woman were playing.

Mike felt more excited when he heard her crying for help. He swallowed and then rushed to catch her.
