One Night Surprise Chapter 78

One Night Surprise Chapter 78Chapter 78 Her Performance All Depends on This
Golden Water Park was located in the middle of Melrose City, and due to the complete infrastructures
around it, the price of its houses had soared in recent years. The two-story villa under Courtney’s name
had a yard of its own, and its price had already risen to 90 million.
After closing the car door, Courtney turned around and gazed at the villa before pressing the doorbell
right away.
Soon after, a maid in her fifties came to open the door and scanned Courtney suspiciously. “Who are
you looking for?”
With a calm demeanor, Courtney’s eyes flickered as she said, “Hello, madam. Is this house for sale?”
“For sale? Are you a real estate agent?” The maid shook her head. “Why would my master sell the
house? I think you should ask elsewhere.”
“Your master? Isn’t this house yours, madam?” Courtney continued with her conventional talk. “I
thought it belonged to you. Many elderlies nowadays want to sell their houses in the city so that they
can live a rural life in the countryside.”
“Haha, if I could afford such a house, why would I still be someone else’s maid?” The maid laughed
unwarily. “I believe you’re mistaken.”
“What is your master’s name, then? Maybe he would like to sell his house. Can you leave me his
contact information? I have a small gift here to give you.” Then, Courtney went through her bag and
took out a bottle of colorful candies that hadn’t been opened yet. “Look. This is the gift.”
Upon seeing the candy, the maid was delighted. “My granddaughter loves to eat this sort of candy.”
However, after a thought, she sighed. “I’m sorry, but I really can’t give you my master’s contactinformation. Actually, I think I can tell you that my master is actually an actor. But no matter how rich he
gets, he won’t be able to afford such a house.” Suddenly, she lowered her voice. “In fact, this house
belongs to the lady of Sunrise Enterprise. She gave the house to my master, so how can I sell it to
you? Am I right?”
Upon hearing the information given by her, Courtney was internally shocked.
Anna is now acting so boldly. How dare she keep a man outside for herself! Not only that, why did she
take my house and give it to someone else?
“Alright, then.” She smiled and shoved the candy into the maid’s hands. “Madam, I’ll give you this
candy, but can you tell who your master is? I’m quite curious about it. Don’t worry; I promise that I won’t
tell anyone else. I’m just trying to quench my curiosity.”
After receiving the candy, the maid couldn’t stop smiling, so she answered mysteriously, “It’s alright. He
isn’t that famous anyway because he’s always playing secondary roles. His name is Michael Evans.”
Sure enough, Courtney had never heard of this person before, but she secretly remembered his name
and thanked the maid.
On the way back, she couldn’t help but find the whole situation hilarious.
Anna has always dreamed of marrying into an elite family in the upper class, but she now has a kept
man. If her real boyfriend found out about this, it’d be fun to see how she and her mother would react to
this. However, I don’t need to get anxious first. I’m not in a hurry to move in here anyway.
“Miss Hunter, the performance summary for the last three months are all here.”
After Courtney came back to the company from the villa, she requested for the hotel’s performance
summary starting from when she joined. Overall, the performance wasn’t satisfactory, and it was farfrom the goal she had agreed with Alexander back then.
She sighed while her eyes glanced across the desk, and she then saw a lucky draw segment planned
for the centennial celebration. When she saw the prizes for the draw, she suddenly had a new idea.
“Addie, please show me the budget of the centennial celebration plan. Also, we haven’t bought the
prizes, right?”
“We haven’t.”
“Good. Except for the prizes for the first three winners, don’t buy anything else. Wait for my notice.”
Addie was confused. “Miss Hunter, the celebration is next week, which means it’s only a few days
away. Are you really going to change the plan? Won’t it be too late?”
“I’ll be responsible for any mishaps,” Courtney stated clearly.
Besides, this is a matter of life and death. If I don’t give it my all this time, I can only wait and plead as I
get kicked out of here.
That night, she entered ‘famous actor rankings’ into the search bar on her computer.
Quickly, she found a list on the internet with the top one hundred popular actors’ names.
She didn’t care whether the rankings were real as she only wanted to select a few with a fanbase that
had a strong purchasing power.
After a while, her eyes twinkled as she stared at the four androgynous ‘young hunks’ she had chosen,
as if she was looking straight at her performance report.
If I hadn’t taken a look at the villa today and found out Anna had been fooling around with a kept man
who’s an actor, I really wouldn’t have thought of this idea. These days, fans have a huge effect, andnothing is more appealing than celebrities. My performance all depends on this.
At the International Shanghai Hotel, Alexander was ready to fall asleep when his phone rang, and a
text appeared.
He swiped his phone and took a look at the text before calling the sender straight away.
“Y-You’re still awake?” On the other side, the familiar voice seemed to be suppressing her excitement.
“Did you send me the text just to see if I was awake?”
“I have something work-related to ask you. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I sent a text first.”
“You want to change the centennial celebration plan?”
“Yes, but not too much. I’m only changing the lucky draw segment at the end.”
“We are less than a week away from the ceremony. Are you sure you can make this plan work?”
“As long as you agree to it, I can implement my changes immediately. I promise that if this works, it will
attract far more consumers than the previous plan.”
“And if it doesn’t work?”
“If it doesn’t work, I’ll quit on my own accord.”
“But you were already losing your job.” Alexander pierced straight through her heart. “Are you planning
to bet your all on this celebration and just see how it goes? If something happens at that time, you’d
just quit and leave me a huge mess to deal with.”Courtney let out a dry cough. “I admit that I thought of that before. You wouldn’t believe me anyway
even if I denied it. Besides, I’m only doing this for my performance. If my performance turns out good, I
won’t leave, and the hotel will be in a better situation. Both of us win.”
Courtney was fast with her words, but this little trick of hers had no effect on Alexander.
Overall, the hotel is the sole bearer of risk due to the change in plan. She has nothing to lose at all.
novelbinHowever, he still agreed, but he didn’t know why he did it. For some reason, he wanted to give her a
legitimate opportunity and reason to stay.
“Thank you. I’ll definitely make good preparations.”
“Your thanks are meaningless to me. How about you buy me a meal when the celebration is over?”
Courtney immediately agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Alexander opened the curtains and gazed at the beautiful moonlight
outside. Suddenly, he had an urge to rush back to Melrose City.
Before he went to sleep, he made a call to Josh. “For the centennial celebration, I want you to contact
the finance department tomorrow morning and tell them to increase the original budget by 20%.”
