Help! My One-Night Stand Is Examining Me?!

Alana shook her head. “No, thanks. I have to rush to work.”

Jamin asked with a hopeful look, “Then next time you have time, can you come to school to see me?”

Alana didn’t want to refuse him. “Sure, we’ll see next time I have time.”

Jamin smiled and immediately said, “Call me next time, I’ll definitely pick up!”

Alana nodded and urged him, “Okay, you should head back now. Otherwise, your teacher will get worried if she finds out you skipped class.”

“Alright.”

“Bye-bye.”

“Bye.”

Alana waved goodbye to Jamin and prepared to ride her scooter away. A frantic voice echoed from afar, growing louder as it approached.

“Jamin, where did you just go?!”

Alana subconsciously turned her head and saw a woman hurriedly pulling Jamin into her arms.

There were also several men dressed in suits, wearing sunglasses, and with strong, muscular builds accompanying the woman.

It was obvious that she had an extraordinary identity.

However, it was a little unfortunate that the woman had her back to her, so she couldn’t see what she looked like.

Agnes stared at the boy in her arms, anxious beyond words. “Where did you run off to just now? Your teacher called me and told me that you skipped class. I hurriedly brought a group of people over to look for you.”

“If we couldn’t find you, I was almost going to call the police!”

Jamin lowered his head, knowing that he had caused trouble. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

Agnes said angrily, “There won’t be a next time. If there is, I’ll lock you up and give you a good beating!”

Jamin let out an “oh,” but couldn’t help speaking again. “Mommy, I just met a bad grandma who wanted to extort money from me, but a pretty lady appeared. She helped me and even brought me back to school!”

Agnes froze. “Pretty lady? Which pretty lady?”

Jamin said, “The pretty lady from the last time we almost had a car accident, the one you gave the bank card to!”

“Look, she’s still over there!”

Jamin raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Alana was.

Alana hadn’t left yet. When she saw Jamin pointing at her, she also waved at him.

She was thinking that Jamin’s mother had given her a bank card the last time. Should she take this opportunity to return it?

But woman holding Jamin didn’t even look over. She suddenly picked him up and hurried into the school gate.

“Jam, let’s go back to school first.”

Alana froze, and her thought of going forward to ask her something instantly disappeared.

She just felt that woman was rather strange.

She had helped her son, yet not only had she not received a word of thanks, the woman had instead directly carried her son away.

She looked like someone of status, so how could she be so impolite?

Could it be that she looked down on her? Was she afraid that Alana would extort money from her?

“So inexplicable.”

Alana muttered under her breath and directly rode away on her little electric scooter.

Agnes hurriedly carried her son and ran into the school.

She looked just like someone with a guilty conscience, afraid to face the daughter she had once abandoned.

Seeing Agnes’ reaction, Jamin couldn’t help frowning. “Mom, what’s wrong?”

“The pretty lady just waved at us. Why didn’t you wave back at her and instead run away carrying me?”

Agnes was still shaken. “Son, how did you meet her?”

Jamin said seriously, “Didn’t I just tell you? I kind of helped an old grandma cross the road, but that grandma suddenly fell down and said that I deliberately pushed her. She even tried to extort money from me and wouldn’t let me leave. It was the pretty lady who appeared and helped me get away from that old grandma. She even rode her bike and brought me back to school.”

“So that’s what happened...” Agnes murmured to herself. She really hadn’t expected the world to be so small. She had thought that their last meeting had happened quietly and would be the end of it, but unexpectedly, after going around in circles, they had met again.

Jamin couldn’t help asking, “Mommy, you still haven’t told me why. Why didn’t you greet her just now, and instead ran away carrying me?”

Agnes was silent for a moment before looking at Jamin. “Jam, in the future... try not to have contact with that pretty lady, okay?”

Jamin was confused. “Why?”

“I’ve met her three times already. Once might be a coincidence, twice might be an accident, but meeting her a third time means that she and I are destined to meet, right? Isn’t that what your dramas always say? Why can’t I have contact with her? I even promised her that we’d play together again when we have time!”

Agnes suddenly became agitated. “No!”

Jamin was even more confused. “Why?”

“Mommy, your reaction today is so strange!”

“Why can’t you let me continue having contact with her?”

“And she said she called me before. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Agnes’ fingers trembled slightly, and she said somewhat out of control, “There is no reason. In any case, listen to Mom and have less contact with her.”

Otherwise, she was truly afraid that some things would become impossible to control.

Jamin refused. “Mom, she isn’t a bad person. She just helped me...”

Agnes’ tone instantly became stern. “Jamin, can’t you listen to me?!”

Jamin was instantly speechless.

He didn’t say anything, but his eyes couldn’t help turning red.

His eyes accused his mother of how excessive she was being.

Agnes’ eyes became even redder.

She had her reasons and couldn’t easily acknowledge Alana.

She had already tested Henry, and his meaning was very clear. He wanted her to completely sever that little relationship with Alana.

If Alana recognized her as her mother and the mother and daughter became entangled with each other, and Henry found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, the money she had secretly transferred to Alana behind Henry’s back would also be discovered.

As for Henry, he did love her and was willing to overcome everyone’s objections and marry her into the Gordon family for her sake.

But he had an extremely strong desire for control and didn’t want her to do anything against his wishes.

Over the years, she had always listened to him and had grown accustomed to listening to him...

********

Alana hurriedly rushed to the company, but she was still late.

Deputy Director Grace couldn’t help criticizing her. “Lana, why are you late? We’re going on a business trip today. Don’t you know?”

“A business trip?”

Alana froze. “When was it announced? Why didn’t I know?”

Grace frowned. “Last night, in the group chat. Didn’t you see it?”

Alana blinked.

What good employee was so dedicated that they stayed up late at night watching work group messages?

Besides, last night she had been on a video call with Stephan for a long time. They had fallen asleep without ending the call.

She had dreamed of something unpleasant that night, so she wasn’t in the mood to look at her phone either.

After one thing led to another, she overlooked the group messages.

Alana picked up her phone. “I’ll check it right away.”

But unexpectedly, her phone was out of battery.

She was somewhat helpless. “Grace where are we going on the business trip? How many days will we be gone?”

Grace said unhappily, “Vinox, about five days. There’s no time. Go back and pack your things right now. The plane is at ten this morning! Come directly to the airport when you’re done.”

Alana said “oh” and turned around to go back again.

She thought that Stephan hadn’t even returned from his business trip yet, and now she had to go on a business trip too.

The life of a wage earner was truly bitter.

Alana went back and packed a few changes of clothes, along with some daily necessities. She left carrying a suitcase.

She brought a power bank with her and charged her phone on the way.

When she turned on her phone, she looked through the group messages, and sure enough, there was a message about the business trip.

There was also a list of several employees going on the business trip, and her name was among them.

Among them, Alana also noticed that Cole’s name was on the list.

She frowned slightly, silently exited the group, and opened Stephan’s message box.

[I’m going on a business trip today.]

Stephan, who was just about to board the plane, saw the message:

What the hell?!

Did it have to be such a coincidence?

He had just asked his assistant to change his flight to the morning flight so that he could rush back to accompany her.

His fingers moved, and he replied,

[Where are you going on a business trip? How many days will you be gone?]

Alana: [Vinox, about five days.]

Vinox?

Stephan raised his eyebrows. Wasn’t that where he was currently on his business trip?

Since she was coming here for a five-day business trip, there was no need for him to hurry back anymore.

Vance was carrying large and small bags, his own luggage, as well as Stephan’s luggage, and was as exhausted as a pug.

And suddenly told they had to stay back made him want to crash out.

But how could he crash out on his boss?

He had no choice but to crash out in his mind.
