Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Billionaire Is 139

Chapter 139 Chloe, My Chloe

The following day, I didn't stir until well after noon, my head pounding from the aftermath of last night's indulgence.

Three glasses of red wine, and here I was, knocked out old. I couldn't help but laugh at myself.

There was a time when I could handle much more-three glasses of white wine wouldn't even make me blink. A slight stomach ache, maybe, but not a hangover like this.

What on earth happened last night?

As my eyes scanned the room, I realized I was lying in the bed of the private room. Everything seemed in order, no sign of a chaotic night, so I assumed I had managed to keep it together. Nothing too embarrassing had occurred. It had been a long time since I woke up like this-without the irritating buzz of an alarm.

It seemed that with my rebirth, I'd also found a cure for my insomnia. No more pills; I could sleep peacefully now.

Yawning. I stumbled to the bathroom. As I checked myself in the mirror, I noticed my lips were a little swollen. How odd. Did I ... kiss a wine bottle last night?

I breathed a quiet sigh of relief. "See? I told you, I can hold my liquor."

"You were very composed," Carter commented, his eyes still focused on his screen. His voice was neutral, but there was something beneath it that I couldn't quite place. "Come over here. Let's see if you can spot the person you're looking for

I quickly moved to his side. Carter's efficiency never failed to impress me he had already compiled detailed information about every auto repair shop in the city, all in the time it took me to blink.

I scrolled through the photos, examining each one carefully. Even though I had no idea what the man looked like, I'd never forget those eyes.

But no luck.
