A Crazy Night Novel

Bailey’s words did not help ease Christina of her worry. “What if you encounter some bad people here

With that, Christina reached out to grab Bailey’s hand. It would not harm anyone to let the latter stay the rught at Scenic Garden Manor if she did not want to go home

“Go on home. I’ll take her home.” Julian piped up.

That suggestion sounded feasible to Nathaniel. “Take good care of her. Just make sure she doesn’t go missing

While Christina hesitated, Bailey swatted the former’s hand away and groaned. “I’m a grown woman. What’s there to worry about?”

Despite getting rejected, Christina reminded Bailey before leaving, “Remember to call me.”

Bailey waved her hand impatiently and urged Christina to leave.

Even so, the arrangement left Christina slightly uneasy. “Mr. Forrester won’t do anything to Bailey, right?”

Bailey was a woman with a sweet-looking appearance, while Julian had a calm and composed demeanor. Regardless, a book should not be judged by its cover. What if he’s a playboy?

As if reading her mind, Nathaniel assured her. “He came back to the country this time to get married. Don’t worry. He won’t be interested in your friend.”

Julian was a reliable person.

Hence, Christina felt much relieved after hearing his answer.

When the two were finally out of Bailey’s sight, she turned around to head to the restroom.

She splashed cold water onto her face, for she often fluctuated from sobriety to grogginess when she was tipsy. That was when her phone rang.

When she saw the caller ID was “Queen Mother,” she ignored it and stuffed the phone into her pocket.

Then, she stepped out into the hallway and accidentally bumped into a passerby.

The two recognized each other after exchanging gazes. The passerby was one of her many blind dates.

Sizing her up, the man sneered, “Why did you block my number after our date?”

“There was no need for us to continue talking to each other,” she answered plainly and ignored him.

She had only taken a few steps when he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall. “I thought you were a goody two shoes. Who would’ve thought you were this wild? I think we’re quite suited for each other.”

Bailey scoffed. “Humans and animals are completely different species. How could we be suitable for each other?”

The man’s face flushed red with anger. “Who are you calling an animal? What’s with the act? From what I can see, you’re the type to fool around.”

With a smack, Bailey slapped the man, followed by a kick.
