A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 162

That afternoon, just as Audrey returned to the law firm, her phone rang.

"Hello, who is it?" Audrey picked up the phone and walked towards her seat.

"Ms. Elliana, it's me!" Alex sounded a little disappointed. He wasn't happy that Audrey didn't keep his phone number.

Audrey instantly recognized Alex's voice.

She frowned with a hint of disgust on her face but still said with a smile.

"So it's Mr. Alex." Audrey asked casually, "How are you? I've always wanted to see you in the hospital, but because the law firm is too busy, I haven't made time."

Alex's voice softened a little.

"The matter in your law firm is more important. I'm fine. I've been discharged from the hospital, so I called you immediately."

"That's great. Now that you're fine, I'm relieved."

Since Alex didn't receive a phone call from Audrey during the few days he was hospitalized, he assumed that Audrey might not be interested in him. Now hearing Audrey's caring words, Alex regained a surge of hope inwardly.

"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Elliana. I wonder if you have time tonight. I want to invite you to dinner. Last time, I failed to find your lost key chain in the coffee shop. I've always felt guilty, so I would like to treat you as apologizing this time. I hope you can give me the chance."

Audrey raised her eyebrows.

She thought that Alex would retreat in the face of difficulties, but out of expectation, he would continue to pester her.

Of course, Audrey did not think that Alex fell in love with her at first sight, because before Alex saw Bryson, he did not want to see her so much. When Kylee and Mrs. Huntley first set them up, Alex had an accident, and after a long time, he didn't ask to see her.

But ... as soon as Alex met Bryson, he suddenly wanted to see her.

It was probably because Alex recognized Bryson and saw her as Bryson's younger sister that he wanted to curry favor with her.

To play up to her, he hurt his girlfriend and killed his baby, a scum that should rot in hell.

Since he couldn't wait to come to her, she would greet him well this time.

Audrey answered straightforwardly, "Alright, where are we going to meet? You can decide. I'll be there on time!"

"Great!" Alex was highly delighted.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately sent the address to Audrey.

Audrey frowned at the address that Alex sent over.

If she remembered correctly, the restaurant was opposite a famous love hotel.

Setting the restaurant opposite a love hotel, such an insidious intention.

Audrey replied with a sneer, "Roger that."

After replying to Alex's text message, Audrey made a phone call.

"Hello, is that Miss Blair? I'm Audrey. I have something to discuss with you. Is it convenient for you to come out tonight?"

After making an appointment with Blair, Audrey hung up the phone.

...

In the evening, Alex called Audrey again to confirm the time and place of the evening meeting. Then, Audrey went out.

Audrey originally intended to tell Bryson about this matter, but he said that there was a meeting to be held tonight, so she did not tell him so that he wouldn't be distracted.

After leaving the law firm, Audrey soon arrived at the restaurant she had arranged with Alex.

This time, Alex was there early.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Audrey smilingly looked at Alex.

As soon as he saw Audrey, who was beautiful as usual, the depression caused by Audrey not contacting him in the past few days was swept away.

Alex stood up happily and pulled out a chair for Audrey.

"No, no, I'm early. Ms. Elliana, please take a seat!"

"Thank you!" Audrey sat down.

"Ms. Elliana, I don't know what you like, so I ordered some first. You can see what you like, and add two more!" Alex pushed the menu in front of Audrey.

Audrey took the menu and ordered two more dishes.

When the waiter went away, Alex suddenly sighed.

Audrey raised her eyebrows and looked at Alex with puzzlement.

"Mr. Alex, why are you sighing? Did something happen?"

With his eyes lit up, Alex pretended to be fine and shook his head.

"No, it's just a matter of the company. Nothing important. I won't talk about those things when we meet."

Audrey sneered in her heart, but she still frowned and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your company?"

"Alas, it's just a small matter, not a big deal."

"That's good."

After a while, the waiter brought the dishes, a bottle of strong red wine, and two glasses.

Audrey quietly sized up the bottle of red wine.

Alex asked the waiter to open the red wine and pour a glass for them.

"Ms. Elliana, to celebrate our second meeting, let me propose a toast to you." Alex picked up one of the glasses and handed it to Audrey.

When he handed the glass to Audrey, he moved his fingers slightly to throw a small white pill into it. Hardly the pill met the wine when it quickly disappeared.

Audrey saw Alex's actions with her sharp eyes, but she did not expose him.

"Sorry, Mr. Alex, I don't drink."

"Today is such a good day. Ms. Elliana, you only need to take a small sip as a token."

"Alright then!" Audrey held the wine glass and put it close to her lips with an embarrassed expression.

Alex stared at Audrey's movements, waiting for her to drink the wine.

Although he felt that Audrey had loved him madly, there was only one way to make a woman devoted to a man.

To obtain a woman's heart, one must get her body first.

Audrey suddenly turned her vision to the floor in surprise.

"Well, Mr. Alex, is the wallet on the ground yours?"

"Where?" Alex looked suspiciously at his feet and saw a black man's wallet.

While Alex lowered his head to pick up the wallet, Audrey swiftly swapped her glass with Alex's.

When Alex raised his head, Audrey took a sip of the red wine to Alex's face.

A cunning smile surfaced on his face as he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
