A Crazy One-night Stand novel Chapter 72

Wilson raised his eyebrows slightly. "Single? Do you need me to remind you?"

"No, don't say it!" Jayden quickly interrupted Wilson. He turned to Alina and fawned over her. "Alina, what drinks do you want?" 

Wilson immediately replied, "Orange juice!"

Hearing that, Jayden immediately put on a flattering smile. "That's right, you've mentioned that on the phone. My memory is failing me. Mrs. Lee, prepare some orange juice for Miss Alina." 

Jayden was definitely a smart and tactful person. With just one glance at Wilson and Alina, he immediately knew he had to get on Alina's good side.

Jayden beamed widely and said, "Alina, oranges are in season right now. The oranges I have prepared are ripe and juicy. It has the right balance between both sweet and sour. Later, you must drink more orange juice, it's delicious!"  

Jayden knew that Wilson was a shrewd person, furthermore, he had no interest in women. However, he could see that Alina was special to Wilson. As far as he knew, Alina had no status nor family background, but Wilson was still so fond of her. Therefore, he needed to get on Alina's good side quickly. In the future, if Wilson wanted to bully him, Jayden could ask Alina to put in a good word for him. 

Wilson looked at Jayden sucking up to Alina and raised his eyebrows. "Are your oranges not selling well?"

Jayden coughed dramatically and sprawled himself out on the table. He put on his puppy-dog eyes and looked at Alina with a pitiful expression, pleading for help.  

Wilson's expression darkened. He reached out and grabbed a handful of skewers, then he stuffed them on a plate in front of Jayden. "Eat these and shut up." 

Jayden raised his head from the table at Wilson's threat. He quickly reached for the skewers on the plate and stuffed them into his mouth.

Everyone was eating at the same table, naturally, everyone witnessed the scene that played out before them. Monica was extremely upset. 

She secretly gritted her teeth, and then she turned to Alina with a smile on her face. "Do you like orange juice too?"

"Yes." Alina nodded at Monica.

"Then, what else do you like to eat?" Monica tried to make conversation. 

Alina was about to answer, but Wilson interrupted her. He took a few skewers and placed them on Alina's plate as he said, "Lina is not picky with her food."

Lina, they are even calling each other by their pet names. What an intimate gesture!

Monica felt uncomfortable, but she continued smiling. She nodded. "Oh, I see. Alina is the same as me. I'm not picky with food either."

Jayden cut in. "Miss Monica, have your parents been visiting you frequently while you were abroad all these years?"

Wilson looked up at Jayden in surprise. Jayden immediately shot him a pleading look.
