The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 35 Male Menopause
‘Well, since you are already here…’ Alessia ignored his jibe and forged ahead. ‘I could take you out to lunch if you like.’‘I don’t eat lunch with married women,’ Logan retorted.‘Terence, let’s go.’ He turned to his assistant. ‘I’m busy. I don’t have time to waste on married women.’Terence shot Alessia a commiserating look.He had been working for Logan for almost half a decade and this was the first time he discovered his boss had such a…juvenile side, for lack of a better word.‘You don’t have time for married women in general,’ Terence thought, ‘but you sure have time for this one.’He happened to be in the office when Logan took the call and witnessed first-hand how his boss had jumped up from his chair the moment he hung up, grabbed his coat, ran a hand through his hair and then dashed out the door, sprinting for the lift.But he knew better than to voice those thoughts.So Terence just nodded. ‘I’m ready to go whenever you are, sir.’Logan’s smile oozed satisfaction as he add

‘How else would you explain your fascination with me?’ Logan folded his arms and sneered. ‘Your insistence on seeing me less than twenty-four hours after our last meeting is proof enough.’Alessia feigned innocence, her voice laced with amusement. ‘Me? Fixated on you? Don’t flatter yourself, Mr Wilde. Your mercurial temper isn’t exactly a turn-on.’Logan’s eyes sparkled with mischief as he leaned in closer. ‘Is that so? Because from where I’m standing, your fixation on me speaks volumes.’Alessia’s cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and defiance. ‘You wish. Don’t get ahead of yourself.’They stared at each other.They thought they were arguing, but to Terence, it sounded so much like flirting, he was half afraid they’d tear off each other’s clothes right there on the doorsteps.The assistant shifted uncomfortably, clearing his throat. ‘Um, sorry to interrupt, but I believe we should focus on the matter at hand.’Startled, Logan and Alessia broke eye contact.Alessia nodded. ‘Y

‘Please have a seat, Miss Jansen,’ Terence offered, summoning a secretary. ‘Would you like coffee or tea?’‘No, thanks. I’ll be leaving right after the meeting with Mr Wilde.’ Alessia took a seat on the nearest sofa.With Brayden and Connie in the same building, beverages were the last thing on her mind.‘Let’s go with coffee then,’ Terence suggested.Alessia shook her head. ‘No, let’s stick with tea. I’m not much of a coffee person.’‘All right.’After a brief wait, green tea was brought in.The secretary smiled, serving the tea, and nodded before discreetly leaving.Alessia admired the secretary’s professional attire and demeanour.‘With a dress like that, she probably earns double what I make at BuzzBeat,’ she thought.Terence settled into a chair opposite Alessia. ‘Miss Jansen, what did you wish to discuss on behalf of BuzzBeat?’‘Well, we’re interested in securing a portion of your company’s advertising budget.’ Alessia got straight to the point. ‘As you know, we are a tabloid pa

Connie’s voice remained collected. ‘Brayden, patience is our virtue now. Knowing what we know about Logan Wilde, waiting for five minutes instead of twenty is already a blessing.’Brayden let out a sigh of resignation. ‘Connie, your composure never ceases to amaze me.’‘Well, of the two of us, someone has got to keep a cool head. As Redwood’s CEO, I can’t act any way I please.’‘Connie, dear, I know how much you’ve sacrificed for the company,’ Brayden’s voice was gentle and soothing. ‘But remember, you don’t have to face any of it alone. You still have me.’Then came a long silence.Alessia guessed the lovey-dovey couple were either exchanging a passionate kiss or gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes.Then she heard a hiss of pain from Connie.Brayden’s voice changed to one of concern. ‘Are you okay? What’s wrong, Connie?’Alessia strained to catch every word, pressing her ear against the wall that separated her from the couple in the next room.Connie must have said something, too

Alessia left the Skye Tower and found herself standing on the kerb, waiting to hail a cab.Her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.How would she deal with Jeramy, who was bound to fly into a rage when she returned empty-handed?‘Alessia?’Startled, she around to find Brayden Scott stepping out of a car, striding towards her.Seeing him, memories of past pain and betrayal flooded Alessia’s mind.Instinctively, she looked down, relieved to find she was wearing pants today but disappointed when she realised she didn’t have her pepper spray.‘Alessia, what are you doing here?’ Brayden approached, standing in front of her with a mix of curiosity and delight.Glancing at the empty car, Alessia wondered where Connie was.She thought the couple were going shopping together.Something seemed amiss.Remaining silent, Alessia kept a safe distance, taking a step back.Brayden’s expression faltered as he witnessed her caution.Pain flickered in his eyes, overshadowed by a sense of embarras

‘An old friend?’ Logan’s eyes narrowed.Alessia and Brayden Scott knew each other?She never told him that.But then, there were so many things she didn’t tell him, and whatever she did reveal could very well end up being a lie.Logan smiled slyly. ‘I didn’t get a good look at her face, but judging from the view behind, she’s got quite a figure, with long, luscious locks. Must be a stunner, then. I take it that by “old friend,” you really mean “old girlfriend,” huh?’Brayden felt a chill in Mr Wilde’s cold, almost interrogative, stare.He shuffled his feet, suddenly uncomfortable. ‘Mr Wilde, if my wife were to hear this, it would easily lead to an argument.’Logan’s eyes turned steely.He smiled faintly and said, ‘So it’s really an ex-girlfriend, then.’Brayden didn’t attempt to clarify.In Logan’s eyes, Brayden’s silence was an admission.‘Chatting with your ex-girlfriend in your wife’s absence?’ he sneered. ‘I may not be married, but even I know that’s a recipe for disaster. If you

Alessia tried to distract herself with work.But the more she thought about the conversation with Jeramy, the angrier she became.An idea struck her.She abruptly stood up and headed towards the restroom.After five minutes, she returned to her seat, her face blank.Shortly after, a man’s agonised screams echoed from the restroom, resembling the sound of a pig being slaughtered. ‘Aah! Who did this?’The chief editor’s pain-filled cries startled everyone, leaving them shocked and wondering what could be happening to him.Alessia, however, maintained her composure and continued working without flinching.Several male colleagues hurriedly rushed to the restroom to investigate.Lara Morris stepped out of her office, her eyes locked onto Alessia, who sensed the scrutiny but pretended not to notice.A few minutes later, Jeramy Chavez was assisted out of the restroom by two men.His shirt was missing, his hair was damp and his face bore a bruise the size of a grapefruit.The editor demanded

At five thirty p.m., a sleek Bentley sped through the bustling streets, attracting attention from passersby.‘Terence, tell me about Brayden Scott and his wife. What’s the status of their relationship?’ Logan’s low and deep voice cut through the air.Terence, sitting in the front passenger seat, turned back towards Logan. ‘Sir, everyone says they’re a sweet and happy couple,’ he replied with a tinge of uncertainty.Logan’s forehead furrowed.He hadn’t forgotten what he saw hours earlier.If the Scotts’ relationship was so blissful, why was Brayden talking to Alessia and trying to grab her?Logan posed another question. ‘Between Alessia Jansen and Connie Scott, who do you find more beautiful?’Terence blinked, taken aback by the unexpected inquiry.He stole a quick glance at his boss, finding the billionaire’s gaze fixed upon him.Realising he needed to respond, he stammered, ‘Sir, Miss Jansen is more beautiful, I think. Her natural beauty shines even without makeup. Mrs Scott, on the

The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 304 No More Surprises
The city lights shimmered through the window, casting a soft glow over Alessia’s hotel room.She sank into the plush armchair, exhaling a weariness that settled deep into her bones.The day had been a whirlwind of interviews and deadlines, leaving her both physically and mentally drained.With a flick of her wrist, she loosened the tight bun that held her long hair, letting it cascade down her shoulders in unruly waves.The laptop on the polished mahogany table beckoned, a testament to the professional demands that consumed her day.Alessia leaned forward, fingers dancing across the keys as she organized her interview notes, a meticulous symphony of clicks and clacks.She paused, her gaze shifting to the phone by her side.Two missed calls from an unknown number flashed on the screen, and her heart skipped a beat.For a moment, hope surged through her—perhaps it was Logan.But as she listened to the voicemail, disappointment settled in.It was merely a wrong number, a mundane interrup
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 303 Desperate Scheme
With the briefcase in hand, Logan left the office and got in his car.He did not involve Terence; the meeting could be dangerous.Besides, he had backup.Logan raced through the city streets, weaving through traffic with a desperate determination.The clock was ticking, and the warehouse loomed ahead like a dark, ominous secret.As he approached the entrance, the flickering neon lights buzzed overhead, casting eerie shadows on the crumbling walls.Logan stepped into the darkness, the echoes of his footsteps the only sound in the desolate space.A figure emerged from the shadows, wearing a hooded jacket to conceal their identity.Logan’s pulse quickened, his senses on high alert.‘I brought the money, now show me Sirena,’ he demanded, his voice steady but edged with a simmering rage.The figure chuckled, the sound echoing eerily through the cavernous space. ‘Impatient, aren’t we?’He pulled out a phone from his pocket.With a swift motion, he tapped the screen, and a small screen on th

The city lights glittered below as Alessia and Vince sat in a trendy rooftop bar in Hamborough, taking in the breathtaking view.The change of scenery had indeed granted Alessia a temporary escape from the complexities of her life back in Veridian.Alessia raised her glass, sipping a colourful cocktail. ‘Here’s to new beginnings and escaping the chaos,’ she said with a half-smile.Vince clinked his glass with hers. ‘To new beginnings,’ he echoed, a faint smile playing on his lips.As the evening unfolded, the atmosphere became more relaxed.The city buzzed around them, providing a backdrop for a momentary reprieve.Alessia found herself enjoying Vince’s company, appreciating the unspoken connection they had cultivated over the years.Amidst the clinking of glasses and the distant hum of the city, Alessia sensed an opportunity to share the intricacies of her life.She turned to Vince, her eyes reflecting a mixture of weariness and determination.‘You know, Vince, Logan’s first marriage

Logan’s office at Wilde Enterprises was a haven of order in contrast to the chaos unravelling in his personal life.The sterile hum of fluorescent lights bathed the room as he sifted through paperwork, attempting to find solace in the routine of his professional responsibilities.His phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with Heath’s name.Logan’s heart skipped a beat as he answered the call, the outside world fading away as he focused on the voice at the other end.‘Heath,’ Logan greeted, his tone carrying the weight of worry.‘We found her,’ Heath’s voice crackled through the phone. ‘She was at the BuzzBeat office. Got into a bit of a scuffle with Alessia.’Logan’s temples throbbed in response, the news striking him like a physical blow. ‘Alessia? Is she okay?’There was a pause on the line, and Logan could almost feel the hesitation in Heath’s response. ‘According to the colleague who filed the police report, she’s got a couple of scratches, but otherwise, she’s fine.’Relief washed
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 300 Plan B
The room was cloaked in a muted glow from the bedside lamp, casting a warm light on the framed photographs that adorned the walls.Sirena moved silently, her eyes scanning each corner of her parents’ room as she began the meticulous search for anything of value.Ralph was still in intensive care, which meant Naomi wouldn’t leave his side, giving Sirena the time she needed for a thorough search.Her fingers brushed against the cool surface of a polished wooden dresser, adorned with small trinkets that echoed the laughter of her childhood.A porcelain figurine, a relic from a family vacation, stood alongside a faded picture of her parents and a much younger Sirena.The memories were bittersweet, a reminder of the life she had left behind.As Sirena opened drawers with deliberate care, the soft rustling of papers mixed with the creak of aged furniture.In one drawer, she found a stack of handwritten letters tied together with a ribbon.Memories of birthday wishes, expressions of love, an

The Veridian airport bustled with a kinetic energy that only a major transport hub could exude.Travellers weaved through the expansive terminal, navigating a sea of bustling crowds and rolling luggage.The air hummed with the constant murmur of announcements, the clatter of footsteps, and the intermittent symphony of departure gates chiming to life.Alessia, her eyes scanning the digital departure board, stood amidst the organized chaos.The Veridian airport, a sprawling architectural marvel, boasted high ceilings adorned with sleek modern designs.Concourse shops beckoned with an array of luxury goods, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air from the bustling cafes.It had been a long time since she flew—juggling a job and raising two kids hadn’t left a lot of time for the luxury of flying.‘Hey, I thought that was you.’ Someone tapped her on the shoulder.Alessia, startled, turned around to find Vince, a smile playing on his lips.‘Vince, what are you doing he

Naomi scoffed, bitterness lacing her tone. ‘Make things right? Can you bring back the peace we had before you barged in with your promises and complications?’Logan shook his head. ‘I can’t change the past, Naomi, but I can help with the present. Let me take care of Ralph’s medical bills. It’s the least I can do.’Her expression hardened, and she retorted, ‘Money won’t fix the damage you’ve caused. Sirena is missing, Ralph’s heart is failing, and our lives are in shambles. Don’t pretend you can fix it with a cheque.’Her words were still ringing in his head hours later.Logan stood on the roof, smoking, lost in thought, until his phone rang with an urgency that cut through the air like a serrated blade.He glanced at the caller ID, and a sinking feeling gripped his stomach as he answered.‘Logan, what the hell is going on?’ Albert’s voice, usually a bastion of calm, resonated with a furious edge. ‘Alessia called me, all cold and distant, calling me Mr Wilde instead of Grandpa. And she
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 297 Heart Attack
‘Ralph! Naomi, call an ambulance!’ Logan’s urgency cut through the stunned silence, and Naomi, her face pale with shock, fumbled for her phone.Panic swirled in the room as Ralph clutched his chest, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.He toppled backwards.‘Ralph!’ Logan caught the old man in time.Within moments, the wail of an ambulance echoed through the quiet neighbourhood.Naomi and Logan hurriedly helped Ralph onto a stretcher, his face strained with agony.The ambulance doors slammed shut, trapping the trio in a suffocating bubble of uncertainty.The ambulance tore through the city’s arteries, its siren piercing.Inside, the confined space thrummed with urgency.Naomi clung to the edge of her seat, her eyes unblinking as she watched the paramedics work on her husband.Ralph lay supine on the stretcher—his heart just stopped.The heart monitor emitted a relentless warning beep.Naomi’s hands trembled as she tried to steady herself, the medical jargon exchanged by the paramed

Naomi stirred the simmering chicken soup, the aroma filling the kitchen with warmth.She glanced at Ralph, who was grabbing his keys.‘Ready to head to the hospital?’ he asked.‘Absolutely,’ Naomi replied, wiping her hands on her apron. ‘Hand me the thermos.’They were only allowed to visit Sirena once each day, the visit lasting no longer than half an hour.The doctor explained that the restricted visits were important to establish routine in Sirena’s life.As they prepared to leave, they heard a knock on the door.Surprised, they exchanged a puzzled glance before opening the door.Standing on their doorstep was Logan. ‘Can we talk?’Naomi and Ralph exchanged a wary look but nodded, allowing him inside.Logan took a deep breath, eyeing them both. ‘I’m sure you know why I’m here. I need Sirena to sign those divorce papers.’It had been almost three days since Sirena’s hospitalisation, and Logan had waited long enough.Naomi’s lips trembled. ‘Logan, we can’t believe you’ve moved on so
