Carlene still remembered the time when she was in danger because of Kurt’s action at the lake. It wasAlex who had saved her, not once, but twice. Alex was literally her life savior, her knight in shiningarmor.
She began to dream of Alex from time to time after the incident. Whenever she woke up from thedream, all she could feel was a sense of disappointment.
Carlene would sometimes even picture Alex as her boyfriend, to the point where she would daydreamof their happy life together while at work.
“It sure is,” Alex smiled as he found it funny that the lady in front of him really believed that he was amanager at Four Seas Corporation. “Are you here to participate in the bidding?”
“Yes. But my family might not get the chance to participate tonight since the scale of our company isquite small…” Carlene sat down next to Alex and poured a glass of spirit for him. “That’s right! You leftbefore I could thank you last time. Here’s a toast for you! I’m so glad that I get to meet you tonight.”
Carlene pushed the filled glass to Alex as she stared at him zealously.
“Don’t worry about it.” Alex picked the glass up and toasted with Carlene.
“No, my life belongs to you now.” Carlene smiled and turned to look at Flynn and Charlie.
Alex noticed her gaze and introduced, “This is my friend, Flynn Dunn. Flynn, this is Carlene Bolton ofthe. Bolton family.”
“Mr. Dunn, a toast to you.” Carlene swiftly poured a glass for Flynn as well, recognizing the friend of herhero.
Flynn returned the smile and toasted with her.
“And this is Charlie. You can just call him that,” Alex continued.
“Charlie. Nice to meet you. Here’s a toast to you as well.” Carlene poured a glass for Charlie andanother for herself.
Charlie glanced at Alex and smiled before toasting with Carlene.
Next to them, Kurt noticed that Carlene didn’t even hesitate to chug down three glasses of alcoholwhile she kept refusing him just mere moments ago. Her actions angered Kurt so much that heclutched his fists and almost slammed the table.
After three glasses, Carlene was drunk, but she still wanted to drink with Alex.
Realizing that the lady in front of him was intoxicated, Alex quickly stopped her. “Let’s stop here. Wecan drink another time.”
Carlene was touched by Alex’s action, but at the same time, she was willing to get drunk if it meant shecould continue to drink with Alex.
She was about to pour another glass for Alex when the latter realized that her hand was alreadyshaking. He grabbed her hand to stop her, “Ms. Bolton, I’m not really fond of people getting drunk infront of me. Let’s drink some tea instead.”

Carlene’s heart was racing as Alex still hadn’t let go of her hand. Her reddened face turned a shadedarker.
“Then, let me treat you to lunch tomorrow,” Carlene invited.
Alex pulled his hand back and nodded. “Sure.”
“Can I have your contact? I’ll call and tell you the location tomorrow.” Carlene said meekly.
Alex smiled and exchanged his contact with Carlene.
Both Charlie and Flynn were smiling slyly next to them.
Carlene left happily after getting Alex’s contact and Kurt, who was left behind, could only chase afterher.
As Kurt passed by Alex, he threatened, “I heard that you have a managerial position at Four SeasCorporation? Well, let me tell you now, you won’t be able to hold on to that position for long!”
“What an idiot,” Alex laughed at Kurt’s warning without getting angry.
Even Flynn and Charlie were also looking at Kurt with a face full of mockery. Both of them didn’t evenwant to waste their breaths on Kurt.
“My dad is friends with Vice–chairman Sawyer! They’re having lunch together now. All I have to do ismake a phone call to get you fired!” Kurt snorted and whipped his phone out immediately. He wanted toscare Alex and make the latter beg for forgiveness.novelbin
Besides, Kurt also wanted to show Carlene the gap between him and Alex.
