All Chapters of After One Night : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

That morning, the mansion’s pool deck served as the setting for combat training. Alexander was on the mat, pinned beneath his trainer as they worked through a choreographed fight sequence when Emily appeared with a tray. Daphne followed behind her, stealing a glance at Alexander, who was drenched in sweat.“Your timing’s getting better. But we’ll keep it light today. You did some heavy fight work just two days ago, so I don’t want to push you too hard," Lucas, the trainer, said as he sat down.Emily and Daphne approached, setting down the towels and refreshments they had brought, including bottled water, sports drinks, and sliced fruit.Emily immediately approached Alexander, who was sitting on the mat, breathing heavily. She was about to wipe the sweat from his forehead when Alexander quickly took the towel from her.Alexander wiped the sweat from his body, then drank some water. His eyes drifted toward Daphne, who was chatting quietly with Lucas. Their eyes met as Emily fastened a s

For the past two weeks, the mansion had been bustling with preparations for the Halloween party. Even on the day of the event, the hired event crew and the mansion’s regular staff were still rushing around, making sure everything was in order.Daphne was no exception. Even though her own tasks were already finished, she was still busy helping the other maids. It wasn’t until two hours before the event that she finally started getting ready.“I’m getting completely drunk tonight. When else do we get a chance to forget about work like this?” Victoria said excitedly as Rosie styled her hair.Daphne and Emily’s room became a gathering place for some of the maids. The room was buzzing with lively chatter and laughter.As they had all agreed, they would dress up as female characters from movies and TV shows. There was one rule they all had to follow: sexy characters only.Most of them were almost finished getting ready. In the bathroom, Daphne had only just started putting on her costume. W

His attention eventually shifted to the far end of the ballroom. At the bar area, the staff seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves, dancing and laughing without a care in the world.Among them, dressed in dark-colored costumes, one figure in white caught his attention. She was dancing with her back to him, her bunny ears bobbing with every move.He knew that figure. His gaze remained fixed on her as she slowly turned.“Alexander.”He immediately turned. Noah, one of his childhood friends, was approaching him.“What a party!” Noah exclaimed with a wide grin.Alexander immediately pulled him into a hug. “I thought you were still in Monaco. When did you get back?”“Just a few hours ago. I came back specifically so I could make it to your party,” Noah joked.“Yeah, right.”The two laughed before falling into conversation. Not long after, Arthur joined them, and the three began discussing their respective yacht businesses. When Arthur and Noah became absorbed in their conversation, Al

“Were you really drunk last night?” Alexander asked as he fixed his hair in front of the mirror.Emily, who was choosing a jacket from the wardrobe, turned toward him, a smile appearing on her lips at his question. “Yeah. Sorry. I should’ve controlled myself, knowing you have a schedule this morning.”“It’s fine.”Emily then handed him the jacket. “You didn’t drink much last night, did you?”“Not really.”A moment later, Victoria entered the room to carry out her cleaning duties.“Make sure you tidy up the bed today, too. I woke up late, so I didn’t get a chance to,” Emily told Victoria. They exchanged a brief glance and a faint smirk.“Okay.”Alexander then left the room, carrying a bag containing his filming essentials.“Oh!” Emily exclaimed. She had just remembered that Alexander wasn’t wearing his watch. She quickly picked one from the drawer before hurrying after him.“Must be nice. The only thing you worried about was whether he’d forgotten his watch,” Victoria whispered after E

That morning, as usual, Alexander spent some time on the balcony of his room reading a script. Not long after, Emily entered, carrying a cup of coffee.“Thank you.” Alexander set the script down on the table beside him before taking a sip of his coffee. “Sit down. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”Emily looked at him for a moment before taking the seat across from him. Her bright smile never faded. “What did you want to talk to me about?”Alexander set his coffee cup down on the table. He looked at Emily for a moment before speaking. “From now on, you’re no longer my personal maid.”“What?” Emily’s bright smile immediately faded, a frown forming between her brows. “What do you mean?”“Daphne will be taking your place.”“What? Mr. Harrington—”“My decision is final.”“At least give me a reason. I’ve worked for you for a long time, and I was personally chosen by your mother.”“Exactly. You’ve been with me for a long time. It’s time for someone else to take the position.”“
