Chapter 18: I Have No Partner
In the president's office of Scott Group.
Simon was standing across the desk, reporting to Wilson from a folder in his hand.
"Mr. Wilson, we have released rumours of Williams Group's dire financial situation. As expected, after
Mr. Walter failed to apply for the bank loan, several companies who had promised to lend him money
also took measures to avoid him, including his best friend and his father-in-law."
"Okay," Wilson replied, not even raising his head as he was focused on the document in front of him.
The real estate industry had grown by leaps and bounds over the last ten years. With all the
competition, Wilson felt that it was time to transform the company's direction. What he needed to do
right now was to identify the most promising industry for future investments.
Simon continued reporting, "The banquet for Mr. Harry's daughter, Monica, will begin at 8 o'clock
tomorrow evening."
"Alright."
"Clara has already returned to the country. She will be attending the banquet as well."
"You don't have to report this to me."
"Ahem..." Simon gave a dry cough and continued, "A few days ago, there was an accident at the
Imperial Landscape's construction site. Alina was nearly hit by falling bricks from a tower crane.
Witnesses at the scene said that she was saved by an intern named Michael who managed to push her
away in time. However, Michael was seriously injured and is now lying in hospital. Alina has been
taking care of him and she refused compensation from the company."
Wilson frowned. No wonder she looked so anxious and haggard when he saw her at the bank.
He put down the documents in his hand and stood up. "Let's go to the hospital!"
"But Mr. Wilson, you have a video conference in half an hour!" Simon said hurriedly.
Wilson knitted his brow. "Go to the hospital and see if Alina needs any help. If that person's injury is
extremely serious, transfer him to Bill and ask him to perform the surgery personally. After that, arrange
for the best caretaker." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Okay." Simon immediately agreed. He was really curious. Did their president fall in love with Alina? To
be honest, that girl was really beautiful. She had white and fair skin, a slender figure, bright and lively
eyes. Compared to their president's ex-girlfriend, she was much prettier! No wonder the president liked
her.
"Simon, why are you still standing there?" Wilson looked at Simon in annoyance.
"Oh, I'm going to work now!" Simon quickly left the president's office.
After Simon left the president's office, Wilson took out his phone and called Alina.
When Alina saw his caller ID, she was extremely nervous. "Wil...Wilson!"
"Yes," Wilson replied with a smile. He could imagine Alina's nervous expression at the other end of the
phone.
"Why are you looking for me?" She asked in an anxious tone.
"I'm going to a banquet tomorrow evening, but I have no partner to go with me!" Wilson said.
"But I can't dance!"
"Don't worry, you don't need to know how to dance!"
Alina looked helplessly at Michael, who was still unconscious. "Well, can't you find someone else? I
have something to do at the moment!" Although Alina owed him two million dollars and she should
agree to such a small request, she did not want to leave the ward at this time.
"We are going to get married soon. It's better to have you beside me instead of someone else!" Wilson
continued.
It was an important period for Wilson. If he was seen with some other woman, it would cause a stir of
rumours and gossip. However, if Alina was his partner, it would be alright since she was his fiancée. He
was also considering the right time to introduce Alina to his grandfather. He hoped that she would leave
a good impression on them.
"But, but I really can't go!" Alina took another glance at Michael. She was in a dilemma.
Wilson reassured her. "I have arranged for the best hospital and the best doctor for that person under
your care. Don't worry!"
Alina was shocked, then she said in surprise, "Really?"
"Yes." Wilson replied.
"Thank you so much, Wilson!" Alina grasped the phone tightly as tears flowed down her cheeks. She
was so touched by everything he had done for her!
