Chapter 630
The other party was very friendly. They had a blast chatting.
On the first day, they all had a great time. That evening, they invited Brittany for dinner.
At the dinner table, Brittany had no choice but to down a couple of drinks. Then they invited Brittany to hit the bar.
Brittany wasn’t usually one for such places, so she had her assistant tag along while she headed back to the hotel.
Brittany had a bit of booze in her system and was feeling a little woozy.
When she got back to the hotel, she went straight to bed and fell asleep in no time.
She woke up in the middle of the night, shivering from the cold.
She opened her eyes and saw that the lights were still on.
There was a sound coming from the bathroom.
She sat up, propping her head with her hand, and called out, “Who’s there?”
The alcohol was giving her a killer headache. She held her head with one hand, grabbed her phone with the other,
and saw that it was already 3 am.
The noise from the bathroom was loud. Brittany pushed herself to get up, went to the bathroom door, and knocked,
“Who’s in there?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe remembered that she was alone in her suite. So where did that person come from?
Then, the bathroom door opened.
A figure appeared in her line of sight and asked, “Who are you? Why are you in my room?”
Hearing a male voice, Brittany jumped. She turned to look at the man.
The man was bare-chested and dripping wet, looking irritated at Brittany.
“Isn’t this my room?” Brittany had a splitting headache and asked with some annoyance.
The man brushed past Brittany and picked up a room key. “Miss, have you taken a wrong turn?”
Brittany looked at the key. It read 2906.
She frowned. Her room number was supposedly 2909.
Brittany rubbed her temples, called her secretary to confirm that she had entered the wrong room, and then
apologized to the man. “I’m sorry, sir. I had a few drinks last night and got my rooms mixed up.”
The man suspected Brittany of doing it intentionally, thinking she would find an excuse to stay.
How could she just mistakenly walk into the wrong room?
But to his surprise, Brittany left straight away, leaving some money behind.
The man watched Brittany leave, his face dead serious.
Back in her room, Brittany took a shower, felt a bit peckish, and ordered room service. She ate a little and then
went back to sleep.
She didn’t give much thought to the little mishap that night.
However, the next day, when she arrived at their company and pushed the door open, she saw the man from the
bathroom the previous night.
“Is it you?” Both said at the same time, looking a bit shocked.
The secretary quickly told Brittany, “Ms. Dustin, this is Mr. Leo.”
So he was another person in charge of the project.
Brittany greeted him awkwardly. However, he seemed totally unfazed. “Ms. Dustin, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Brittany felt a little embarrassed and forced a smile and a greeting.
Neither of them mentioned the previous night’s incident. After signing the preliminary contract, the other party
suggested having dinner together.
Feeling a little guilty, Brittany shooed everyone else away.
“Mr. Leo, I’m really sorry about last night.”
Brittany had indeed had a few too many the previous night, walked into the wrong room, and almost got the wrong
person.
Mr. Leo wasn’t exactly a looker, but his face was handsome, and he naturally exuded a leader’s charisma.

leave it in the past.”
Brittany was more than happy to let bygones be bygones. To express her apologies, she picked up the tab.
After having her fill, Brittany returned to the hotel. Her secretary sidled up to her and said, “Ms. Dustin, I heard that
Mr. Leo is a real go-getter. He expelled his father’s illegitimate child when he was in his late teens and took over the
family business.”
Illegitimate child?
Brittany’s eyes narrowed, “The Martinez family also has an illegitimate child?”
“Yes, his name is Thomas Martinez, and he was expelled from the family a long time ago. Over the years, Mr. Leo
has supported the Martinez family to its current stature. As for that illegitimate child, he has vanished without a
trace.”
Thomas?
Brittany thought of Thomas from the crew and her expression slightly changed.
Two people named Thomas. They had the same name. But did they have the same surname? Could they have been
the same person?
