Chapter 647 Threw Herself at Mr. Alfie

The women were racking their brains for an excuse to get close to Alfie, to leave an impression he wouldnโ€™t forget.

Alfie wasnโ€™t just handsomeโ€“he radiated authority. And he was the future heir of the Woodward Group!

If any of them could become Alfieโ€™s girlfriend, theyโ€™d never have to worry about money or luxury again.

But right then, in front of everyone, Alfie strode straight toward Una, ignoring the admiring glances of all the women around him!

โ€œUna, how did you get so drunk?โ€ Alfieโ€™s tone was part scolding, but mostly filled with genuine concern.

Everyone froze. Even Tilda.

Sometimes, a single look could speak volumes. Tilda couldnโ€™t know if Alfie would always look at Una this way, but for nowโ€ฆ it was clear he wasnโ€™t just playing around. He probably didnโ€™t even realize how his eyes were sparkling, shining like the stars had gathered just for her. It was almost the same way Jude looked at Tilda.

Una lifted her head, blinking through her drunken haze. โ€œHuhโ€ฆ Alfie, what are you doing hereโ€ฆ I feel so dizzyโ€ฆ No, I need another drinkโ€ฆ I need to celebrate that Tilda praised the game we designedโ€ฆโ€

She wobbled, nearly toppling over, but Alfie caught her by the arm, pulling her into his embrace. Feeling her flushed, soft cheeks against him, the faint scent of her hair and skin, Alfieโ€™s heart skipped a beat. A completely new sensation washed over him. Countless women had chased Alfie before, but none had stirred so much as a flicker in his chest.

Alfie wasnโ€™t like Maurice, who couldnโ€™t resist a pretty body. He usually pushed women away politely because he found them โ€œannoying.โ€ But this time he couldnโ€™t let go. โ€ฆ His limbs felt heavy and powerless. All he wanted was to hold her close.

In that moment, Alfie realized what he had been feeling all along. This woman, Una โ€ฆ sheโ€™s the one.

โ€œWhoa!โ€ Gasps rippled through the crowd.

The women gritted their teeth, filled with jealousy and fury. She actually threw herself at Mr. Alfie! How shameless! How bold! Sheโ€™s embarrassing all of us educated, independent women with her behavior! Mr. Alfie, push her away! Arenโ€™t you usually so refined that you wouldnโ€™t even touch a drunk woman, let alone one with no looks, no figure, no charm?

Meanwhile, the men buzzed like theyโ€™d stumbled onto a scandal, desperate to see what would happen next. Nobody dared to take photos. After all, Nightingale Bar had cameras, and Alfie would come after them. But Alfie couldnโ€™t stop them from watching. Everyone was glued to the scene, eating up drama. A bigโ€“name scandal was too tempting! They were already counting themselves lucky to witness it firsthand.

โ€œUna, youโ€™re drunk. Stop drinking. Iโ€™ll take you to the lounge to restโ€ฆโ€

Alfie was about to guide her away when Una vomited.

โ€œUgh!โ€

It splattered all over Alfieโ€™s customโ€“made suit, worth hundreds of thousands. Even Tilda couldnโ€™t help but facepalm.

Una, you idiot! This is mortifying! Everyone froze. What the hell just happened? Is this real? They thought it was a scene straight out of a TV drama. Never in their lives had they imagined seeing it happen in reality. A CEO, drenched in a womanโ€™s vomit, right here in a bar โ€ฆ In real life, heโ€™d probably be fuming.

After the incident, Una sobered instantly. She wasnโ€™t usually a lightweight. It was just that the โ€œMona Lisaโ€ cocktail had hit her all at once, scrambling her brain. Once she recovered, she felt much better. But seeing Alfie soaked in her vomit made her wish she could vanish into the floor. She was mortified. What the heck! What have I done?!

โ€œUmโ€ฆ This suitโ€ฆ itโ€™s expensive, right? Iโ€“Iโ€™ll pay you backโ€ฆโ€ Her voice trembled. She knew it was a topโ€“tier, custom designer piece. It easily cost hundreds of thousands. Her entire yearly allowance didnโ€™t even come close. Repaying it would take over a decade.

Thinking about starting her career and already carrying hundreds of thousands in debt, Una felt utterly crushed.
