Ruth promptly introduced Albert, making a special mention of Aline.

“This is Miss Hanson, my former boss. She’s got several major projects in hand.”

Considering the immense wealth of the Carson family, Zack didn’t pay much attention to Aline.

Albert, on the other hand, seemed more attentive.

Standing at about 6 feet with strikingly beautiful eyes, Albert exchanged several significant glances with Aline. They were both sure that they were interested in each other… in more than just a casual encounter.

Half an hour later, in a hotel suite.

Aline and Albert were passionately engaged in intimate activities, both of them perspiring heavily.

The room seemed to be filled with an air of romance. Eventually, everything settled down.

Albert reclined against the headboard, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke leisurely.

Aline, resting her head on his shoulder, felt physically and mentally content. She was fully aware that Albert was known for his promiscuous behavior, and that she was simply one of many in his eyes.

After a brief embrace, Albert regained his energy. They started again.

Aline was quite exhausted and laid on the bed to rest while he took a shower.

Albert reemerged from the bathroom with a bath towel wrapped around him. He didn’t shy away from Aline, proceeding to dress without hesitation.

Aline chuckled, thinking he had no inhibitions whatsoever.

However, she didn’t mind much. She propped her head up and inquired.

“Will we meet again for this?”

With a cigarette in his mouth, Albert replied somewhat casually, “It depends. I’ll call you when I’m free

Aline, clad in a bathrobe, left the bed.

She approached him from behind, hugged him and whispered softly, “Do you have someone else?”

Albert smiled, not denying it.

Aline wasn’t just interested in their physical encounters; she had ulterior motives. Leaning against his back, she asked, her tone a mixture of flirtation and probing, “Have you had sex with Ruth?”

Albert furrowed his brow.

He gently removed her hands and replied nonchalantly, “She works for the club’s boss.”

Aline was relieved, thinking that Ruth’s words held truth. Albert tightened his belt.

“Are you jealous?”

Perched at the end of the bed, Aline gazed at him with flirtatious eyes and purred, “I have a film project in the works. The lead role is a race car driver, and the leading actor has yet to be decided.”

Albert leaned against the TV cabinet, studying Aline up and down.

Without mincing words, Aline got straight to the point.

“However, the project is short on funds. Ruth claimed that you could make quick money. I don’t trust her too much. But if I cast you as the male lead, we would be in this together. I’m confident you won’t double-cross me.”

Albert didn’t immediately agree. He cited his lack of acting experience as a concern.

Aline stood and moved closer to him, speaking softly, “An acting coach can teach you. You’ve got nothing to worry about, Albert. You’re more than qualified. If you take on this movie, I can guarantee you’ll become famous.”

Albert lit a cigarette and stated.

“I’ll need to think about it.” Aline smiled and didn’t press him further.

Albert exited the suite.

The banquet was still in full swing…

Ruth brushed past Albert but merely smiled without saying a word.

Finally, Albert’s gaze settled in a corner of the banquet hall, where Zack and Danna were engaged in conversation with a stunning woman. Being Zack’s best friend for many years, Albert recognized the woman as Rena.

She exuded beauty and femininity. Albert strolled over and called out, “Zack, Danna… Mrs. Fowler.” Zack held his wife close.

When he spotted Albert, he invited Albert to join them and formally introduced him to Rena.

Albert took out a cigarette case from his pocket, tossed it onto a small coffee table, and grinned, “I’ve heard a lot about Mrs. Fowler.”

Zack detected the irony. He cleared his throat and said, “That’s enough. Danna is still here.”

Danna chuckled.

“I don’t mind. When my brother pursued Mrs. Fowler, he was even more embarrassed.” Zack pretended to pinch Danna’s neck, feigning annoyance.

“Which wife is as magnanimous as you? Danna, do you love me or Mrs. Fowler more?’

Danna Laughed.

Zack affectionately pinched her cheek and teased, “You’re playing innocent.”

Just then, someone called for Zack, so he led Danna away for other social obligations. This left Rena and Albert alone in the corner.

“Mrs. Fowler to thank me I’ve made quite a few sacrifices for you. How do you plan Albert inquired with a mischievous look.

Rena fixed her gaze on Albert.

After a pause, she reached into her bag and placed a check in front of him.

“Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Waston. I’ll give you the rest of the money when it’s finished.”

Albert examined the check; it was for 20 million.

He smiled faintly.

“Mrs. Fowler, you’re remarkably generous.”

Rena stood up.

She gently draped her Dior shawl around her shoulders and spoke in a composed tone.

“I won’t need to pay anything more if I can resolve it with money.”

Then she gracefully departed from the banquet hall. Albert took the check and moistened his lips.

What an astute woman. She could discern his interest in her yet displayed no hint of delight or resistance.

She was indeed extraordinary. Albert decided to follow Rena.

At the entrance of the five-star hotel, a black limousine was already waiting. Accompanied by her assistant, Rena emerged from the lobby.
