Love After One-night Stand with CEO novel Chapter 56

The small fist that was filled with rage swung towards him.

However, it was stopped abruptly inches away from hitting his face.

Then, the man grabbed her fist and pulled it towards him.

He yanked her into his embrace.

The sudden impact on her nose made her wince in pain.

Her other hand quickly blocked his chest,

as to prevent them for getting too close.

The next second, she looked up as tears swirled in her eyes.

"How could you be so shameless?"

Seeing this, the man's gaze darkened by the second.

She sniffed and continued ranting, "Do you know how I was humiliated just now? Henry, what's wrong with you? Why do you always interfere with my life? Are you happy that I was humiliated? What did I ever do wrong? Why did I meet you? Why aren't you willing to let me go?"

The last sentence was yelled with all her strength.

At this time, she really looked like she wanted to cry, but she held back her tears in front of him.

His gazed at her coldly and frowned.

He didn't think he was that cruel.

He'd always do anything to get what he wants. It was normal for businessmen.

Moreover, he merely handed a file to the snobbish woman.

But seeing her vengeful look, he really thought that he had done something really terrible to her.

"Why did you do this to me?" Although she was depressed, it was obvious that she held back her tears, not wanting to cry in front of him.

"Do you think you can end up with him even if I didn't interfere?" He said in a cold voice.

She looked at him with teary eyes as she pursed her lips and didn't reply.

She didn't know if she could end up with Andy.

However, she knew that it was because of this man...

That the chances of them staying together got slimmer!

"If he'd loved you, he would've caught up with you the moment you run out, instead of leaving you alone in this remote place!"

"He... he... he must have been stopped by his parents..." She was a little flustered and defend him.

"Ha, if you really like someone, nothing would be able to stop you. Just like me right now!" He said firmly.

"Your love is despicable! I will never fall for you!" She glared at him with her red and swollen eyes.

This man was so despicable and shameless.

She would never like him!

"Really? Then let's see!" He said indifferently with no hint of anger whatsoever.

Rosa frowned and twisted her wrist, struggling to free her hand from his grip.

Then, she turned around and walked away.

Henry saw this and immediately knew that she lost her temper.

He followed behind her with a smile on his face.

Rosa kept walking forward and frowned.

The next second, she stopped.

She turned around and looked at the figure behind her.

"Why are you following me?" She asked in an irritated tone.

"We're walking on public property. What, only you are allowed to walk here, and I'm not?" He said jokingly as he looked at her.

Rosa smiled coldly and said, "Alright, then please go first!"

"Ha, I suddenly feel the breeze here isn't bad, I'll stand here for a bit!"

Looking at his smile, Rosa felt her blood boil.

She lifted her foot and started sprinting.

However...

"I haven't run for a while now, and I realised running is good for your health. Oh, what a coincidence! You're running too?" He tilted his head slightly and glanced at her playfully.

Rosa almost wanted to cry.

Huff, so tiring!

She was wearing a skirt, so she couldn't run for too long!

After running for 500 metres, Rosa finally stopped and panted.

"You're too weak. You're already exhausted after 500 metres, you need to exercise more!" He said, slightly panting.

With her hands on her knees, Rosa breathlessly turned her head to look at the man next to her.

The tall and straight figure stood by her side which was still noble and attractive. His face remained handsome and flawless.

After resting for a minute, Rosa stood up, feeling flustered.

Then, she adjusted herself and stood up straight. She said in a cold tone, "Ha, my health is none of your concern, I have a boyfrien..."

Before she could finish her words, her stomach growled.

In an instant, she blushed and felt incredibly embarrassed.

"Let's have dinner!" Henry walked forward and said.

Rosa glared at him and refused. "No need!"

She went forward after finishing her words.

But before she could take a step, her wrist was caught.

She turned around in shock and frowned at the sight of her wrist being grabbed.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

"Let's go eat!"

"I'm not hungry!" Right when she finished speaking, her stomach started growling again.

Because of this, she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Henry chuckled at the scene and said meaningfully, "Is it true that all your words are insincere?"

Her teary eyes were bright red, and her face flushed pink because of her stomach.

"No, no way. Don't talk nonsense!" She defended herself frantically.

His dark eyes beamed with a hint of patience, elegance and faint smile.

He leaned closer to her and said, "Then let's go eat!"

—

40 minutes later...

In a luxury restaurant...

The man was studying the menu with his head lowered. His side profile was elegant and calm, exuding an unexplainable charm.

Rosa thought that it was really hard for others to think of him as a bad person just by looking at his appearance.

She pouted and didn't want to look at him anymore.

Rosa shifted her gaze to the window beside her.

It was located near Silver Beach on the 28th floor.

This seat perfectly captured the beautiful scenery of the city and the three lakes. 

Saying that it was 'beautiful' would be an understatement. 

It was magnificent.

Luxurious.

And it was shocking.

The river was filled with countless boats moving slowly.

The area near the Silver Beach was ablaze with colourful lights. It was unusually lively.

She was stunned at once.

"These, and these!" The man spoke in a magnetic voice.

"Alright sir, please wait for a moment!" The waiter said respectfully and bowed to leave.

The man turned around and saw such a scene...

The young girl rested her chin on her palm, slightly tilting her head looking somewhere.

Her clear and dark eyes were sparkling, giving off the impression of a beautiful fairy dancing under the moonlight, laughing with delight as she did so...

He gazed at her silently for two seconds, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips. He said in a low voice as if nothing had happened, "Is it beautiful?"

Rosa was startled and came back to her senses. She tucked her hair behind her ear, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Do you like this kind of night view?" He couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her panicky expression.

Rosa stubbornly ignored him.

The man didn't mind and smiled faintly.

After a while, the waiter started serving the dishes.

However, there was only a tiny portion of food on all of the exquisite plates.

Rosa couldn't help but pout. It would've been better to eat at a small restaurant.

"This is our appetiser." He seemed to have read her mind and smiled. "There will be soup, side dishes, main dishes, salads, desserts, and coffee later!"

Hearing his words, her eyelashes flickered a little and she said, "I have never been to this kind of place, and I don't understand what you just said. Normally when I dine at restaurants they would serve pasta and steak, as well as bread and numerous fruits." She smiled after saying that.

Seeing this, he smiled and said, "This is French cuisine. I'll bring you here often in the future!"

Rosa was stunned and quickly waved her hand, "That... that wasn't what I meant. I'm not saying that the food I have is bad. On the contrary, I feel pressured eating here, this place is not suitable for me!"

"You will get used to it after eating here more often!"

Rosa frowned. She didn't want to come here a second time!

They gradually finished their meal awkwardly.

Henry raised his hand slightly.

The waitress immediately leaned over and handed him the bill.

He took out a gold card and handed it to her.

"Please wait for a moment, Sir!" The waitress said and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Rosa suddenly stopped her.

Then, she got up and approached her. "I'll pay!"

The waitress was a little stunned, and she was at a loss. "Miss... you want to pay?"

"Yes, why? Can't I?"

The waiter looked at the man and asked for his opinion.

"What are you looking at him for? Are you afraid that I can't afford it?" After saying that, she looked at Henry and said, "This meal is for last time when you helped Grace!"

The man smiled at her. "Okay!"

Rosa quickly turned to the waitress and asked as she took out her wallet, "How much is it?" 

"Four thousand and two dollars in total!" The waitress smiled and said.

"What?" Rosa was stunned. "How much did you say?"

"Four thousand and two dollars!" The waitress replied with a very decent smile.

Rosa frowned. "Just... just now those few things are four... four thousand and two dollars?"

"Miss, the bill!" The waitress handed over the menu.

Rosa picked it up and saw that a portion of Foie gras was already 600 dollars...

She wanted to cry...

Only one Foie gras for more than six hundred dollars...

She could've bought more than a few kilograms of goose liver with that amount of money.
