Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1449 - 737: Why Don’t We Work Together?

The password on the lock screen of Alexander's phone was Heather's birthday. She quickly turned it on, wrote down Allen's number, and dialed directly.

A phone rang in a corner, and Allen went over to find a phone whose screen was flashing from a nearby flower bed.

Allen got the phone and came to Heather with a grateful face. "My name is Allen Christopher. What's your name, please?"

"My surname is Denmark," Heather answered simply.

Allen wasn't surprised and said with a smiling face. "Thank you so much. I have an important call about a project that is worth tens of millions of dollars later. You've been a great help to me this time." Heather's eyelids twitched slightly.

Why did she think Allen was deliberately showing off his wealth in front of her?

He emphasized the word "tens of millions," and he had already shaken his gold watch several times before her eyes.

Allen struck a pose that he thought was attractive. "Well, can I invite you to dinner to show my gratitude?"

Heather was speechless. So it had been her delusion. This man was exactly showing off his wealth in front of her.

"No need," Heather said coolly. "I have a full schedule. I'm busy."

Allen's face stiffened slightly.

He had expected that Heather would likely refuse, but he had never expected that her reason for refusing would be that she was too busy. She didn't even give him any face.

It looked like Heather had poor judgment and couldn't tell how rich he was.

Allen's eyes grew deep, and he decided to spend some money. After all, Alexander's woman was worth his investment.

"Well, since you won't have time to have dinner with me, I'll give you a gift to express my gratitude," Allen said, taking out a velvet box and opening it directly. Inside it lay a pair of earrings.

Heather looked at the earrings. A touch of surprise flashed across her face.

They were very pretty earrings inlaid with platinum and several small rubies.

It wasn't because the earrings were rare that Heather was surprised by. It was because both the platinum and the rubies were fake.

Although the earrings looked very delicate and they seemed real, and an ordinary person might not be able to tell the difference, Heather, who had seen lots of expensive jewelry since she was a child, could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the earrings.

But when Allen saw her look, he completely misunderstood her. He thought Heather was impressed by the earrings. In an instant, he felt satisfied. Sure enough, to deal with such a gold digger who had never experienced much, he should give her something of value as bait.

"It's a pair of earrings encrusted with platinum and rubies," he said proudly. "They're not something common that you can usually see on the market. I took great efforts to find them, they're worth more than $100,000! But a pretty girl like you deserves such expensive jewelry. I'll give them to you as a token of my gratitude."

Heather was speechless. What the hell was going on today? Why did she meet so many freaks?

She felt that Allen was definitely here for her. Losing his phone and giving a gift was his plan.

However, Allen didn't seem to know her real identity. Otherwise, who would flaunt his wealth in front of the Denmark family's daughter and say that she deserved jewelry that was worth $100,000? There was nothing that was worth this price in her jewelry, okay?

However, if he wasn't here for her real identity, what was Allen here for? She refused without hesitation. "Sorry, I can't take your gift."

"Just take it, it's not valuable," he said, with an air of generosity. "I've got plenty of it!"

"Didn't you say the earrings weren't common and that you had to make great efforts to get it?" she asked with a half-smile.

Allen's face stiffened. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

An ordinary woman would have lost her intelligence when she saw such a valuable piece of jewelry, but Heather had time to find fault.

It seemed he had been careless. The woman who could seduce Alexander was a little different, after all.

"Miss Denmark, you are so smart," he said, looking at Heather with an affectionate expression. "I'll tell you the truth. I want to give you earrings because you completely smote me from the moment we met! I think you are the only one in my life. I fell in love with you. at first sight!"

Goosebumps came over her. "... You fell in love with me at first sight before you knew my name and who I was?"

"Love is so fast and so unreasonable," he said and still looked at her with affectionate eyes. "Don't worry. If you are with me, I will dote on you and protect you. Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you. A kind of jewelry that is worth a hundred thousand pieces. of won't be a problem at all."

"Well, I'd better explain it to you," she interrupted coolly. "I don't take the earrings because I don't think they're valuable, but because I don't like them at all."

If she went out wearing fake jewelry, it was likely that Lady Heather Denmark of the Denmark family would be a complete joke.

Allen's face instantly turned pale.

What did the woman mean? She actually disliked his earrings? He had prepared to give the earrings to Lady Heather Denmark as a gift at her dinner party!

Heather, a gold-digger who had abandoned her boyfriend and only followed Alexander for a few days, was actually so ambitious?!

The affectionate expression on his face faded. Instead, he put the earrings away and said indifferently, "Heather, you're great."

Heather's eyes flashed with coldness. Sure enough, the man was up to something bad, but he didn't know that she was the Denmark family's, Lady Heather Denmark.

"In that case, don't beat around the bush. What do you want to do?" she spoke with indifference.

"Good. To tell you the truth, I admire you very much. You are a very ambitious woman. Why don't we work together?"

"Huh?" she said and looked at him speechless. It was the first time that someone had said she was ambitious. "What do you think I want?"

Allen's eyes glistened with gloom, but he was willing to be patient with Heather. "Heather, now that you're Alexander Christopher's woman, do you think he'll marry a poor girl like you?" he sneered and said, "A man like him will definitely marry a woman who has a good family and will give him a great boost in his career!"
