One Night Surprise Chapter 97Chapter 97 You Guys Really Broke Up?
“What are you doing?”
Courtney thought Alexander had released his grip on her. However, in that instant, she was dragged
back into the conference room before she could even regain her balance. The world spun around her
as she was pushed onto the huge meeting desk. With a loud thud, vibrations throughout the entire
structure were heard as the door was closed.
Angered and humiliated, she raised her pale face while demanding, “What are you doing?”
“Respect myself?” Alexander loosened his tie and pressed his hands down on her sides to pin her
down on the conference table. With a darkened expression, he looked down at her as he spoke. “Let
me ask you this—after you sleep with men, do you treat it as if it was nothing and ask them to ‘respect
themselves’?” For such a long time, am I the only one who cared about the ‘accident’ that night?
Courtney turned her head around. With her face still pressed down to the table, she avoided his gaze
as she only felt anger apart from the humiliation. “If you care so much about what happened that night.
I apologize for giving you the wrong idea. I have no feelings for you whatsoever, let alone wanting to
play hard to get with you. So, let me go.”
“Great.” Alexander was angered to the point where he burst out in laughter as his hands traced her
waist. “That’s just great!”
Goosebumps rose in each area that he touched Courtney as trepidation rose within her. “What are you
doing? Let me go!”
“You don’t mind, do you? In that case, if we do it one more time, what’s there to worry about?”When she heard that, her mind seemed to have exploded and she started to struggle against his grip
without even thinking about it. However, in front of Alexander, her strength was no match at all.
Not only was he enraged by her words, but he also felt that she had trampled on his pride as a man.
Throughout his entire life, it was the first time that he cared for a woman—yet all he received from her
was the ‘wrong idea’. This is a great humiliation for me.
As cool air gushed over her, Courtney’s eyes suddenly widened and she mustered the courage out of
nowhere to escape from his grip to give him a slap. The loud smack reverberated throughout the entire
conference room.
With that, Alexander immediately stopped his actions. In no time, a red, clear palm print slowly
appeared on his cheek.
“*sshole!” Courtney quickly pushed him away and escaped.
For a long time after she left, Alexander touched his cheek that slightly stung while pulling out a chair to
sit. What am I doing? Have I gone crazy?
After leaving Sunhill Enterprise, Courtney applied for a half-day leave from the hotel and locked herself
at home. Even after she slept soundly for an entire afternoon, all she could think of was Alexander’s
crazy actions earlier that morning.
Apart from anger, she realized that other emotions had been raging in her. If he didn’t threaten me
about the incident six years ago, perhaps…
She did not dare to continue thinking about that. After tapping her cheeks to force herself to forget
about the incident, she continued to sleep until evening before waking up to pick Tina from the
kindergarten.Meanwhile, Cameron was putting a mask on her face on the sofa, and she asked, “Going to the
Ancient City for a business trip? Who arranged this for you? Isn’t Alexander courting you—what is he
doing?”
Courtney avoided her gaze and continued to pack her bag while her head was lowered. “It was
arranged by the company. Stop saying nonsense. I have no relations with Alexander.”
Standing right next to her luggage, Tina was quietly eating a lollipop.
“During this period, your godmother will take care of you. You have to listen to her, alright? If she’s late
in picking you up, just stay in the kindergarten. Can you do that?”
“Yes.” Tina nodded obediently. “But Mommy, can I ask you a question?”
“Yes.”
“Did you really break up with Mr. Alexander?”
As soon as she heard that, Courtney’s expression immediately changed. “What do you mean by
breaking up? When have we dated each other?”
“You guys even moved in together! Isn’t that considered dating?” Tina asked with widened eyes.
“Moved in together?” Cameron’s mask was about to dry off. “When did that happen?”
“When you were out for a business trip, Godmother!” Tina clearly remembered everything and said in
an accusatory tone. “Mommy, if you don’t like him, why did you stay with him? You’re making me happy
for nothing.”
Courtney was speechless upon hearing that. “Stop saying nonsense. That’s because Shay attracted
many reporters at your place. I was over at his place to avoid them, that’s all.”Cameron still looked confused. It was after Courtney explained the entire situation that she forcefully
nodded. “Okay, even if you were there to avoid the reporters, I still believe that the destiny between you
and Alexander is quite extraordinary indeed. See, six years ago—”
“Excuse me!” Courtney quickly coughed to interrupt Cameron’s sentence. It was only then that she
realized that Tina was still around, so they could not speak about many things. “Tina, you should head
to bed soon. Quickly head to your room.”
“I’m not planning to stay here either. Hmph!” Tina pouted. “My wealthy daddy is gone—just like that.
Even though he’s close to being my daddy, I’m not happy about this. Mommy, I’m angry!” With that, she
angrily stormed to her room.
novelbinWhile looking at her leaving figure, Cameron shook her head. “When do you plan to tell her that her
biological father is Alexander?”
“I haven’t thought it through.”
“She already likes him a lot without knowing the truth. If she discovers this in the future, what if she
wants to follow him?”
“Impossible. I know my own daughter well.”
“You have all your priorities in the wrong place, girl.” Cameron removed her facial mask. “Is your brain
made out of hay? You really never placed yourself in Alexander’s shoes at all? He’s the president of an
enterprise, so he has no reason to treat you and Tina so well. It’s obvious that he likes you! I even
asked Gale about this. Alexander has already canceled his wedding with that celebrity. Isn’t it all
because of you?”“If it’s because of me, why would he send me to such a faraway place for a business trip? I don’t think I
can accept his love.”
“Oh, come on!” Cameron pouted. “Because of you, his marriage is ruined. Yet, you don’t seem to care
about him at all. If I were him, I would immediately fire you.”
“Whose side are you on, exactly?”
“Hmm? You asked the right question.” She suddenly laughed. “Whose side indeed?”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t you think that you are throwing a tantrum at Alexander? It’s like you guys are a loving couple
who just started fighting!”
Courtney’s expression froze for a few seconds before she denied it. “Stop saying nonsense. It’s nothing
like that.”
Cameron was too lazy to argue with her about it. “Fine, I can’t say anything about love anyway. As long
as you know what you are doing, that’s enough. I’m going to sleep soon. You should sleep earlier too!”
After the door of the room was closed, Courtney was left in the living room alone. She sat on the mat
and looked at the luggage she had been packing with a deep frown on her face.
Late at night, in the minivan, Britney had just gotten off work after filming and her expression
immediately changed after she heard what her assistant said. “Only Louis’ body? What about the
detective?”
“He’s gone. No one is able to look for him now.”“Look for him quickly!” Britney paled. “If he runs away and reports to the police, we will never see the
end of this!”
“We are already looking for him! We’ve searched everywhere nearby—even his little motel—but the
employees said that he hasn’t returned for two months.”
She fell silent upon hearing that.
