Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 48

Grace paced around around the entrance with her phone in hand.

"Why isn't Mr. Lewis here yet?" she wondered.

She looked at her phone anxiously, but the notification feed was empty.

Had he received her message?

This wouldn't do. She had to send another message.

She edited her message. "Mr. Lewis, are you here yet? We've already arrived. I'll meet you at the entrance."

Tap, and sent!

Grace continued pacing around anxiously as she held her phone.

"Hi, beautiful." Grace caught one of the young masters' attention and was approached by him. 

Grace was already agitated. She naturally didn't want to attend to him.

Moreover, this man looked quite hideous.

"Who are you waiting for, pretty girl?" The man asked with a smile.

"Waiting for my boyfriend. Why?"

The man snorted and said, "Ah, so you have a boyfriend. Well, what kind of man is he? Is he as great as I am?"

Grace rolled her eyes at him. She obviously looked down on him.

Right then, a familiar Lamborghini appeared.

Grace's heart was pounding in her chest.

He's here!

The man squinted at the car. "What, is the man in the car her boyfriend?" he wondered.

Heh, he wanted to see just what kind of man he was!

The chauffeur got out of the car and opened the door respectfully.

Immediately, a slender and elegant figure appeared.

Grace suddenly stopped breathing.

This man was too perfect to be human!

"Hen... Henry Lewis is... is your boyfriend?" This man stuttered.

There was nothing he could do. He was rich, his family owned a company.

However, all of his income came from Henry. 

In other words, this man was in control of the life and death of his family!

"That's right!" Grace said confidently.

"I, I'm sorry!" The man apologized and immediately left the next second.

Grace's smile widened as she saw him running away nervously.

When the maid saw him, she immediately bowed down and addressed respectfully, "Mr. Lewis!"

Henry didn't even lift his eyelids as he walked inside.

"Mr. Lewis..." Grace deliberately held out her chest and ran over.

Henry Lewis stopped and looked at her, expressionless.

"Mr. Lewis, you're here! We've been waiting for you for so long!" Grace was a little embarrassed. She flipped her hair and deliberately showed her bright-yellow swimsuit.

The man looked at her, his cold gaze deepened.

"Your swimsuit..."

Grace looked at the man who was staring at her swimsuit and immediately stuck her chest out. Then she said shyly, "Well, does... does it look nice?"

The man squinted his eyes as he stood beside her. His gaze was full of contempt. "Ha, no swimsuit could ever make up for your average IQ!"

The man left after saying those words.

Grace stood there in a daze.

What did his words mean?

—

"Miss Lopez, hear me out, I really like you!" Marks rushed in front of her and blocked her way.

Rosa frowned and stood by the swimming pool. She looked at him and said, "Marks, I think I have made it clear enough. We are not suitable for each other!"

"Why? What am I lacking? I can change!" Marks sincerely wanted to date her.

"It's my problem. I'm not good enough!"

"I don't mind!" Marks didn't understand what she meant and didn't want to argue with her.

Rosa stopped in astonishment. She looked at him, not knowing what to say.

Couldn't this boy understand her tactful words?

The two followers behind Marks exchanged a meaningful glance.

"Rosa, I, Marks, promise to be good to you. Can you please be my girlfriend?"

Rosa saw that he blocked her way, she wanted to make a detour.

"Oops..." Suddenly, one of the boy from behind yelled.

Rosa turned her head instantly, and all of a sudden the world was spinning around her.

That's right, the boy "accidentally" bumped into her.

She fell into the swimming pool just like that.

The swimming pool was already crowded.

Besides, the band was blasting music.

Over here where Rosa fell into the water...

No one would've noticed at all.

"Marks, what are you waiting for? Go and save her!" The two followers immediately said.

Stunned, Marks smiled and he was about to jump down.

However, a figure took the lead and dived into the water.

"Help..." The end of the pool was the deepest area of the pool.

She fell into the water too fast, her mouth and her nose were filled with water.

Her mind was ringing.

Instinctively, she kept struggling inside the water.

She was searching for something to hold onto amidst the darkness.

The next second, a warm body leaned over to her.

Rosa immediately held onto the person's neck and gasped for air.

She was afraid of water.

Let alone a swimming pool at night.

In the water, she could feel that she was surrounded by darkness.

Marks and the others on the shore were all stunned as they watched the man glaring coldly at them.

They were all shocked speechless.

This man had such a strong aura!

Thus, they immediately scattered and left.

Rosa wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

She saw the three people's fearful gaze and ran away.

Rosa frowned in confusion and looked down at the man who had saved her.

However, she was surprised that the man was wearing...

A white suit!

Who would wear a suit at a pool party?

Her head kept buzzing. Could it be...

Mr. Wright?

That's right. From what she remember, Andy always wore a white suit.

She tightened her embrace.

And she leaned closer to him.

Was this what Mr. Wright's embrace felt like?

Her heart was beating so fast!

The faint minty scent from his body made her woozy.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her heart that was beating out of her chest.

Rosa pulled away shyly, whispering softly with a quavering voice, "Thank you, Andy..."

One of her hands were still wrapped around his neck.

Her other hand grasped onto the shirt on his chest.

Her whole body was pink from being flustered.

Err...

Why wasn't there any response?

Was he shy?

Rosa bit her lips and tightened her grip on his clothes, leaning closer to him.

From a distance, one could see that she was shy in the man's arms.

Taking a deep breath, Rosa finally plucked up her courage and looked up with a shy smile, "Mr..."

Her gaze and words instantly stiffened.

This, this was not Andy!

It's...

The devil, Henry's Lewis!

Reminded of her actions just now, she drowned in embarrassment and her hand on his chest flew to her burning face. She tried to get away from him but was stopped by a strong force.

"Un... uncle, you... why are you here?"

Wasn't he on a business trip?

Didn't he plan to come back after a few days?

Why was he here?

The man's eyes darkened as he stared at her. His voice was cold as he said, "Andy... It's only been a few days since we parted, and you're already calling him so intimately?"

"I... I..."

Rosa was very nervous and didn't know how to explain.

Her mind was completely blank.

"What, are you waiting for him?"

The man stared at her coldly and said, "Little Rosa, why have I never noticed that you're such a greedy woman, hmm?"

"What... what did you say? What do you mean I'm gre...greedy!"

"Are you sure you don't understand?" The man tightened his grip on her waist and she winced in pain.

"Do you care about him that much?"

The man sounded unhappy.

Even Rosa could tell that he was angry.

However, she had never been 'greedy'.

She had only ever liked Andy!

Someone told Miranda about the incident.

Miranda immediately ran over, and she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Un... uncle, how... how are you back here?" Miranda stammered.

"What, am I not welcomed here?"

Miranda's mouth twitched, "No, no, uh, hurry and get out of the water!"

Rosa looked at Miranda gratefully and almost cried.

Sure enough, Miranda knew her best.

She reached out her hand without thinking, hoping to leave the situation as quick as possible.

However, the man held back her hand.

"Rosa can't swim. She's afraid of water. I'll teach her how to swim."

"Ah, you... you're teaching her?" Miranda frowned and looked at Rosa who was about to cry. She knew that she was afraid.

"Uncle..."

"Why, you have something to say?" He chuckled and said, "You're worried about her, right? Ask her if she's willing for me to teach her. I won't force her if she doesn't want to!"

"Rosa, tell me!" Miranda immediately looked at Rosa. This was a chance to get out of the situation!

Just as Rosa was about to speak, her body suddenly tensed up.

Both of his hands were touching her underwater!

The man said with half a smile, "Well, tell Miranda what you think!"

Rosa took a deep breath and caught his hands in a hurry. Her face was filled with misery.

Then, she looked at Miranda with a pained smile. "Miranda, you can go ahead. I... I'll let uncle teach me how to swim."

"Huh? Are you sure?" Miranda was in disbelief.

Her body trembled under the water as she avoided his touch. "Yes, Miranda, go!"

"Why aren't you leaving? Do you want me to teach you as well?" Henry said coldly as he looked at his confused niece.

Miranda instantly came back to her senses. "No, I... I can swim. Well, have fun learning. There's food over there if you need any!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left uneasily.

As soon as Miranda left, Rosa grabbed his collar with her little hands and pleaded in a delicate voice, "Uncle... please... don't do this..."
