After One Night 40. Halloween’s Unfinished Kiss
“I’ll take my chances.”Daphne then reached for the electric razor and stood facing Alexander. Their height difference wasn’t too great; the top of Daphne’s head reached his nose. Even though she had stood close to him many times before, she still felt nervous.“Don’t you need shaving cream?”“No. It’s electric.”“Okay. So, where do I start?”“Anywhere you want.”“Maybe around your neck?”Alexander immediately tilted his head back, making it easier for Daphne to reach the area beneath his chin.There was a brief pause before Daphne finally brought the razor toward his neck, her movements hesitant and careful. Alexander, still tilting his head back, caught her hesitation in the mirror. He closed his eyes and smiled faintly.“You look like you’re going to war.”Daphne lowered the razor again just as it was about to touch his skin.“Because I’m trying not to hurt you,” she said in frustration. “Okay, okay. I’ll do it now,” she added, taking a breath to steady herself.Daphne’s right hand
After One Night 39. Clean Shave
“Mrs. Harrington, these are the transaction records you requested.”Catherine looked at the amount shown on the papers she had just received.Two transfers. £25,000 in total.“Both transfers were made to the business account of the brothel he visited. That’s quite a large amount for a one-night service.”A crooked smile appeared at the corner of Catherine’s lips.“Was she really that remarkable, Alexander?” she murmured before turning her attention to her associate. “Have you contacted the owner?”“Yes. I contacted her. However, she refused to say anything.”“Her loyalty is commendable. Alexander certainly didn’t waste his money.”“What should I do next?”“Just make sure Alexander’s visit to that place doesn’t become known to the media. As for the brothel owner, leave her to me.”“Yes, Ma’am. I’ll send her number to you,” the associate replied before leaving.Catherine stared straight ahead, beginning to connect all the information she had gathered.Alexander went to a brothel.A larg
After One Night 38. A Side He Never Knew
Daphne had just been about to head toward the front passenger door when Alexander opened the back door first.“Here.”Daphne stopped in her tracks and looked at Alexander. She hesitated to step inside, afraid the two maids might still be there, watching them.“I’ll sit with Richard in the front.”Alexander remained standing beside the open door, staring at her with a blank expression. “Here.” His tone was firmer this time, leaving Daphne no room to argue.“Your scarf,” Alexander said as he closed the door.Daphne pulled her scarf higher while glancing toward the mansion entrance. Thankfully, the two maids were already gone.A moment later, Alexander got into the car, with Richard taking his place behind the wheel. During the drive, Richard focused on the road, Alexander went back to reviewing the script he had studied the night before, while Daphne enjoyed the scenery outside.When she was about to look at the view through the opposite window, she instead caught Alexander moving his h
After One Night 37. Wild Thoughts
@alexander.harrington100 posts · 47 million followers · 0 following“He’s really not a social media person.”Daphne scrolled through Alexander’s Instagram page, looking at his posts. Every post was related to his career as an actor, from movie posters and award ceremonies to a few endorsements. There was absolutely nothing that showed his personal life.“So this is what Arthur meant by ‘exclusive’...”Daphne then started looking through the list of films Alexander had starred in. Among all the titles, one poster immediately caught her attention because it clearly featured Alexander alongside an actress. After reading the synopsis, she discovered that Alexander played a bodyguard whose mission was to protect the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate family.“Almost all of his movies are action films. This one looks more romantic.”Without thinking twice, Daphne chose the movie to watch before bed. At first, she planned to watch it on the TV, but changed her mind, thinking Emily might sud
After One Night 36. Rumors in the Mansion
The maids in the room immediately turned their heads in unison.“Chocolate? Alexander? That’s unusual.”“Yeah. There’s quite a lot of it. We wanted to invite you guys to try some, but we felt bad since it’s Daphne’s.”“Daphne?”“Yeah. Alexander bought the chocolates for Daphne because she’s on her period.”The information immediately made the maids exchange glances.“Wow. Alexander is getting pretty obvious about how much attention he’s been giving Daphne, huh?”“How about you, Mil? A little competition between roommates, huh? Dangerous, considering she just got here.”“Exactly. In all the time you’ve been his personal maid, has he ever done anything like that for you, Mil?”Emily rolled her eyes at that. “Whatever. Alexander’s always been surrounded by women. Why would I compete with some kid?”“Shh! Keep your voices down. What if she shows up?”The maids instinctively glanced toward the corridor to make sure no one was around. One of them even stepped closer to the door to make abso
After One Night 35. A Gift to Share
“What’s that?”It was the second time she’d been asked that. Daphne could only smile awkwardly. She had actually been hoping Emily wouldn’t be in the room.“Chocolates.”“From Alexander?”“Yeah.”“For you?” Emily raised an eyebrow, her expression flat.Daphne fell silent for a moment. There was no way she could tell her that Alexander had bought the chocolates specifically for her.“Mr. Harrington bought them to share with everyone.”“Really?” A smile immediately spread across Emily’s lips. “Let me see.”Emily took the paper bag from Daphne’s hands. “Wow, there’s a lot.”Daphne watched as Emily sat down on her bed and began taking the three boxes of chocolates out of the paper bag, inspecting them one by one. Daphne herself hadn’t even had a chance to see what was inside.Daphne let out a quiet sigh. She felt a little disappointed seeing the gift from Alexander already in someone else’s hands. But she quickly pushed the feeling aside. There was no way she could finish that much chocol
