Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Heather was dazed.

So it was caused by Alexander's charm!

It wasn't Heather's fault that she hadn't thought in that way.

When she was in H & C Inc., the colleagues were friendly, and the working atmosphere was harmonious. Besides, she and Helena hadn't had much contact, so what she had thought before was that Helena was a spy from other companies...

Helena had completely misled her. She thought Helena had found she was talented, so she tried to kick her out so that the rival company would be able to poach her. Now it seemed that Heather had thought too much.

Heather looked at Helena with an indifferent air. "It's my business whether I leave H&C Inc. or not. I think you'd better think about how you're going to explain your shaky evidence to Alexander when he gets back. Then it will be you who will leave."

"Heather Denmark!" Helena angrily interrupted. "Who makes you think it'll be me who will leave? Can't you clearly know your own status? I've been with Alexander for six years! But you've only been here a month! Why will he believe you instead of me? Besides..." Helena paused. With a hot gleam in her eyes, she continued, "Do you know why the company is named H & C Inc.?"

"Do you know why?" Heather was instantly interested. She really wanted to know the reason.

Helena kept Heather guessing on purpose. Then, she drew in a breath and said, "That's because H is an initial for Helena and C is an initial for Christopher! H & C Inc. represents the President and me. Do you understand now?"

Helena had been thinking more than once over the years what the name H & C Inc. meant. How happy she had been when she had happened to discover that the initials of her first name and Alexander's happened to be H and C!

Although her reason had told her that this was a complete coincidence, she could not help hypnotizing herself that that was exactly the truth! Over time, Helena herself came to believe it.

Heather looked at Helena in shock.

Helena stared at Heather's expression with satisfaction. She was about to say something when Heather suddenly burst out laughing. Then she leaned over the table and kept laughing, unable to stop.

"Heather, why are you laughing?" Helena was instantly ashamed and angry.

Heather tried very hard to suppress a smile. "I'm so sorry. I just didn't expect anyone to be so narcissistic."

Then, with a serious look on her face, she said, "I think you've thought in a great way. 'H' also stands for Heather. So 'H & C Inc.' should stand for Alexander and me."

Helena was so furious that she almost spat blood. "You, you are narcissistic!" She had never realized that Heather's first name also happened to have the same initial!

Helena couldn't help but spit, "How long have you known each other? Do you think he's talking with you means he takes a fancy to you and likes you? How naive! Remember, you're just his employee! What do you think your relationship is?"

Heather looked calmer and calmer as Helena flared up.

"My relationship with him...." She cupped her chin on her hands and thought seriously before speaking, "Probably we sleep closely?"

Their two bedrooms faced each other, so her words weren't wrong, were they? Of course, she deliberately said in an ambiguous way because she wanted to piss Helena off!

Helena tried to steal her boyfriend?

Then she wouldn't be polite to her anymore!

Sure enough, Heather was instantly pissed off!

"How, how can you be so impudent?"

Helena pointed at her in surprise and fury. "I think you should see a psychiatrist about your hypochondria!"

"You don't have to worry about me," Heather said, smiling. "You'd better think about how you can make Alexander believe you."

"You..." Helena was about to go mad. She hated Heather's unperturbed attitude! It was clear that Heather had already been suspended and would soon be fired. What made her so fearless?

"Me?" Heather winked and asked. What she said was the truth. Why did no one believe her when she told the truth?

"Let's wait and see!" Helena said the last sentence with resignation, picked up her handbag, and left.

"Hey, pay the bill! You said it was your treat," Heather shouted.

Helena stumbled. Seeing the waiter who had come to her and stared at her, with wary eyes, as if he was afraid that she would skip out without paying, Helena was very angry!

She looked back at Heather and saw that she seemed to be enjoying her coffee, which made her angrier.

She paid and left in dejection.

While drinking coffee, Heather turned on her phone, ready to call Alexander.

However, she paused and gave up the idea before dialing.

Forget it, since she was just an employee, she shouldn't tip him off about others like that. Besides, it was a trivial matter. She'd better not bother Alexander now; he could handle it when he was back.

She must work out new designs these days. If Helena was targeting her, the other old designs would be leaked out sooner or later, which meant they would be unusable. Hence, Heather had better plan ahead and hurry.

However, Alexander, who had been supposed to be on a three-day business trip, actually came back ahead of time.

Mr. Watson hadn't listened to Heather and had told Alexander about the theft.

Alexander flew back that night, but it was early morning when he returned to the country. He didn't tell Heather he was back. He decided to handle the matter before asking Heather to come back to the company.

To put it bluntly, the reason why he had asked Heather to H&C Inc. was that he hoped that she could play her role while feeling at ease instead of going through this kind of hassle.

Mr. Watson of the design department was called into the President's office early in the morning. He was a little jumpy. Although he had known Alexander cared about Heather, he hadn't expected Alexander to care about her to this extent.

In an instant, Mr. Wilson was glad that he hadn't kept it from Alexander.

Alexander handed a proposal to his assistant. "Do it now."

Mr. Watson instantly froze as his eyes unconsciously fell on the proposal.

Acquisition of Skyline Corporation?!

Mr. Watson was taken aback.

Since Skyline Corporation was weakened, some seniors at the company had proposed buying it, but Alexander had never agreed, saying there was no need for him to buy such a company. However, now he actually changed his mind!

Was it possible... that he did it for Heather?

Mr. Watson had more and more cold sweat on his forehead.

"This... may take a little time," said the assistant with a troubled expression. Alexander looked cold. "I want to see the results before I go to work."

"Yes, I'll do it now," the assistant agreed quickly and left the President's office in a hurry.

Alexander then looked at Mr. Watson. "Well, you didn't clearly tell me what happened on the phone. Now tell me everything in detail."
