Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

At the Fiesta Hotel. "Yes, it's Room 503. He's gonna meet you there." "Got it." Hanging up the phone, Marilyn swept the room card and went in. She was sent here by her sister Sandra to deliver some urgent papers to Mr. Hamilton, a critical partner of her family business. Just as Marilyn was about to turn on the light, a sharp knock came from the corridor. She opened the door without hesitation. "Good after..." Marilyn barely finished her greetings when she got roughly pushed back abruptly. "I need your help," the man said bluntly between ragged breathing. "S-Sure... But are...y-you Mr. H-Ham...?" Marilyn asked in a shaking voice out of fear. She wasn't prepared for something like this. "Just follow my instructions. I won't hurt you." Ignoring her question, the man approached closer until Marilyn's back was squashed up against the wall. In the dark room, Marilyn couldn't see the face of the man. She could only hear her heart thumping. Intimidated by the aggressive

Marilyn never meant to stay, for she had stuff to do. Yet the nurse asked her to keep an eye on the man's condition. So she had no choice but to stick around for now. "When his family shows up, I'll be good to go," she thought.While she was waiting, sleepiness kicked in. Then she dozed off by the bedside.Malcolm, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. After glancing around the room, he found himself in a hospital.Suddenly, someone's phone rang, repeating the same line from a song over and over.Annoyed by the noise, Malcolm furrowed his brows.Marilyn, hearing the familiar ringtone, reached into her backpack on her knees and answered the call without looking up."Hi, Arturo." Since she just woke up, her voice was a bit raspy, sounding muffled."Mommy, this is Laverne," the little girl replied in a displeased voice."Sorry, babe, I didn't check the caller ID. What's up?" Marilyn shook her head to drive the drowsiness away.Turned out Laverne was just calling to check if Ma

The venue was crowded. Arturo, the prodigy who had recently become a sensation, had caught the attention of the entire country. So today's competition was being broadcast nationwide.Many reporters were surrounding the handsome Arturo playing the piano on stage, snapping photos of him.Arturo was dressed formally today—in a black suit with a bow tie. His thick, black hair was fluffy, making him look even more handsome. While playing the piano, he exuded elegance.Marilyn looked at him with a smile, feeling lucky for her choice. Due to fear of the financial burden and the gossip, many unmarried girls who got knocked up would choose to terminate the pregnancy.When she found out she was pregnant, she was scared too. But it was just momentary.Since she had no family and barely any friends, the children in her belly would become her only hope and family. Thus, she chose to keep them.When she found out she was expecting triplets during a prenatal checkup, she was shocked. But soon, joy ov

Marilyn stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time until her calf was bloated.Only then did she turn around and walk towards her suitcase.She opened the suitcase and hung the clothes in the closet.Marilyn liked dresses the most!All of them were designed on her own for herself.They were in the style she liked.After putting all the clothes into the closet, she put her daily necessities into the bathroom.She prepared the clothes for the next morning after everything was done.After taking a bath, she dried her hair. She got on the big bed which was covered with a pink bed sheet. She smiled since she liked its color.She picked up her cellphone on the bedside table.Unlocking the phone, she saw Roland's message.Roland sent a voice message. "Lynn, I will stay in the Fielddell branch of my company for a month. Let's have dinner together after work tomorrow."Marilyn smiled and replied to him."Roland, okay! I don't have any friends here. But why do you stay here f

The meeting used to be boring, but now under her wonderful description, everyone's attention was attracted by her clear and melodious voice.Finally, Marilyn finished her presentation amid warm applause.Malcolm narrowed his eyes as he looked at Marilyn. He began to admire her because she was one in a million.To be able to become the design director within three years, she really did a good job.Only those talented people who got fairly good at designing and really put a lot of thought into it could draw out such exquisite costumes.His tone was indifferent, "Everyone, take a look at these designs. Do you have any opinions? I have to say I am very satisfied."Malcolm had always been scrupulous in separating public from private interests, and he was very serious about his work.His words meant he believed in Marilyn's ability.Marilyn smiled excitedly. She stayed up all night to draw and design. Now it appeared her efforts have paid off.Everyone shook their heads. They had no objecti
