A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 160

Audrey smiled and watched Alex leave.

When he walked out the door, Alex looked back and noticed Audrey's smile. He felt his heart beat faster.

He wondered, "How naive! She falls for me so soon. When I find her keys, she will like me more."

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and began to look for the keys on the ground.

Keys were generally not small. It should not be too hard to find.

He didn't find it in the corridor, so he walked towards the stairs.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

This was the third floor. Why did Audrey take the stairs rather than the elevator? That was weird.

However, for rich people like Audrey, it was normal to have some quirks. He thought he shouldn't think too much. His priority was to find Audrey's keys.

Thinking of this, he went down the stairs and searched it.

Alex didn't find it on the stairs leading to the second floor, so he went down the next staircase.

Suddenly, a man with black shoes appeared in his way.

As he was crouching down, he did not see who it was. He was about to look up when a black bag enveloped his head. Then he was hit hard in the head and his vision blurred.

He wanted to resist, but that man held his hands and legs. He wanted to shout for help but found he couldn't make a sound.

He lay on the ground and got beaten up.

It lasted for five minutes.

After that man left, Alex took off the black bag on his head.

Alex moved a little but ached all over.

This was the first time he had been humiliated like this.

He immediately went to the lobby and asked the waiter to get the surveillance footage on the stairs.

However, the surveillance cameras didn't record what happened within ten minutes. So, he wouldn't know who assaulted him.

Alex was so angry that he wanted to sue the cafe. However, they drove him out for disruption and slander.

Only when Alex gave up did they allow him to stay.

He looked a real mess, his face all beaten and black. So, he tidied up a little before returning to the private room that Audrey was in.

Audrey was savoring tea. Noticing the door open, she looked over and saw Alex was covered in bruises.

She asked in surprise, "Mr. Huntley, what's wrong with you?"

"I accidentally fell," Alex explained awkwardly.

Of course, he couldn't tell Audrey that he had been beaten up for no reason. That was so lame.

Audrey looked at him worriedly.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"No, no. Ms. Elliana, don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good." Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.

Alex said guiltily, "I'm sorry. I didn't find your keys."

"It doesn't matter. Fortunately, you are fine. That's more important than anything else."

Alex noticed a large bag beside Audrey. He didn't seem to have seen it before.

"Ms. Elliana, what do you use that bag for?"

Audrey smiled and placed the bag on the ground.

"Nothing, I just put a change of clothes in it. You know, I have to change my clothes with different customers."

Alex nodded in agreement.

"Ms. Elliana, you work so hard." Alex looked at Audrey's face in a daze. "Ms. Elliana, don't worry. Although my career had just begun, I can take care of you. After we get married, you won't have to work so hard. You can count on me!"

How tantalizing!

Alex was really good at giving sweet words.

Audrey smiled and changed the topic. "Mr. Huntley, let's eat. The steak is getting cold."

"OK!"

Soon after, they finished their meal and prepared to leave. Alex called the waiter over and paid their bills.

Alex and Audrey walked out of the private room and then towards the elevator. Audrey suddenly suggested, "Let's take the stairs!"

Alex was embarrassed.

After what happened just now, he would feel uncomfortable on the stairs. So, he did not want to take the stairs, but Audrey wanted that...

"OK!"

Alex and Audrey walked to the stairs. Just as Alex lifted his leg, Audrey threw a pinball on the stair and Alex happened to step on it.

With a horrible scream, he rolled down the stairs.

Audrey pretended to panic and walked to the staircase. She deliberately pressed his broken knee and said, "Mr. Huntley, how are you?"

"Oh, it hurts!" Alex twitched in pain.

Audrey hurriedly called the waiter over, and the waiter helped Alex up and took him to a taxi.

Audrey stood outside the taxi and looked at Alex apologetically. "Mr. Huntley, I'm sorry. I still have something to do, so I can't go to the hospital with you."

Alex covered the wound on his forehead with gauze and waved his hand.

"It doesn't matter. Ms. Elliana, do what you need to do."

What the hell was going on? How unlucky he was today!

Audrey watched Alex's taxi leave.

Alex would never have thought that Audrey was behind everything that happened to him.

The clothes and shoes that she had worn when she beat Alex were just in the bag.

When the taxi disappeared from view, Audrey heaved a sigh of relief.

Behind Audrey, a figure suddenly approached.

Audrey turned around and saw Bryson.

"You were in the box next door, weren't you?"

Kolby drove over and stopped in front of them.

Bryson looked calm, but there was a sense that this was the calm before the storm. He said lightly, "Get in. I'll take you home."
