Chapter 13 Alina Liu (1/2)
Carlson placed his glass of red wine on the table then slowly leaned into the sofa. He lit up another cigarette, then continued to tell Alina's story. ”This woman, she is a real beauty. Not only physically, but her character is lovely, too. She is undeniably smart, and has a great body. I could go on and on about how men fawned over her. This, coupled with the fact that she was going through issues with her family, made her want to be supported by several men simultaneously. As a result, she dated countless men. They all knew what she was going through, yet they still pursued her. And these weren't just ordinary men. No, these men were all rich and came from good families. Their net worth was over millions of dollars. How could they all be wrapped around this woman's little finger? These men were not stupid. It's just that this woman was smart enough to manipulate them.”
Leena listened to him wordlessly, wearing a grave expression. However, in her mind, she wondered how such a woman could exist.
Carlson took a deep drag on his cigarette and squinted at her through the puffs of smoke. ”Miss Yang, do you envy such a woman?”
”Well, she does sound like a smart woman,” Leena replied carefully. ”Smart enough to make men do what she wants!”
”But what if you encountered such a woman? Let's say, if your boyfriend met such a fancy woman somewhere. How are you going to deal with her?” He eyed her inquisitively, a mischievous smile playing at the corners of his lips.
Carlson's words struck a chord with Leena. All of a sudden, she found herself at a loss for words. She never really thought about it before. Rena had mentioned to her before that she shouldn't have blindly trusted Miguel. After all, they hadn't seen each other for nine years. It was only right that she had some crisis awareness. However, even with the risks involved, Leena thought love should be simple and pure. Being with him was more than enough for her. However, was she enough for him? Hearing what Carlson said made her begin to doubt. Could a woman as alluring as Alina tempt Miguel? She'd never worried about him cheating on her before, but now, she wasn't so sure.
Smiling weakly at Carlson, she shot a different question back at him. ”Then, Mr. Carlson, would you be into such a woman?”
After taking another drag on his cigarette, he cleared his throat. ”Of course. She's irresistible. She knows how to play men, and men in turn fall for her. Like what I said before, men like the challenge.”
Leena took a sip of red wine and stared into his eyes deeply. ”Then the women that you would be desperately trying to get are married women, right?” she asked playfully.
”Are you married, Miss Yang?” Carlson leaned forward, gazing at her intently.
What he really meant was obvious. She choked on her wine and was speechless for a moment. Gathering her bearings, she answered, ”Actually, This woman sounds exquisite. I think I'd like to meet her one day.”
She was a business woman, strategic and wise. However, she was just an innocent when it came to love. If there was really such a great woman whom Carlson referred to, she would like to meet her. She wanted to know how such a woman came to be in love and weigh what was good for herself at the same time.
However, as Leena spoke, she never thought she'd actually get to meet this legendary goddess, Alina.
On the next day, everything was bright and Leena felt motivated as she went to work. However, she was a bit surprised when a young staff came up and
told her that a group of big bosses had come to the VIP room. They tried to invite a young lady to join them, but she refused.
Although, they didn't provide sexual services here, they always needed the waitresses to serve their customers when they were drinking.
