One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107

The moment Josh dragged the troublesome fellow away, Alexander immediately felt much better before he glanced at Courtney. “Let’s go; you aren’t his mother. Josh is here to take care of the rest of it.”

Courtney snapped back to reality and she retreated slightly from peeking into the suite, thereafter she chuckled in embarrassment. “I am used to it because Oliver is about the same age as Shay and he’s just like a younger brother to me. That is why I can’t help but be concerned about him. I’m sure outsiders would think that it’s strange.”

It was fine before she mentioned Shay. However, the moment she did so, Alexander’s expression fell. “Do you think siblings are like trash that you can randomly pick up from the streets?”

“Trash?” Courtney’s eyes shot wide open. “What do you mean by trash? I knocked into Oliver by accident! How many times do I have to tell you that?”

“What about Shay?” Alexander glared at her. “You couldn’t have banged into him too, can you? It seems like you’ve been rather bold from a young age considering you had the courage to join in with the crowd at the underground boxing ring when you were 15 years old.”

Courtney was stumped when she heard that. “How did you know about that?” Judging by Alexander’s tone, he must have thoroughly investigated Shay. He even found out about his illegal boxing in the underground boxing ring before the Hunters adopted him.

“Do you think not many people know about this?” Alexander suddenly appeared somber. “If he wants to be an artist, those things from the past are tarnishes. If he doesn’t properly handle it, nobody would know when the ticking time bomb might explode and ruin his career.”

His statement sent shivers down her spine because she realized with a start that she had not been in contact with Shay ever since she returned from Maldives.

She relaxed significantly after going with Alexander’s plan to place Oliver in the hotel. That night, when she arrived home, she packed a simple luggage for Tina as she planned to take her daughter to work and send her to Alexander’s house in the evening.

“Jordan!” The moment they arrived at the hotel, Tina released Courtney’s hand to dash across the hall in the opposite direction.

Looking up, Courtney caught sight of the Duncan Family’s butler holding onto Jordan’s hand. It seemed like they had just arrived.

“Little Master has been demanding to meet you early in the morning, Miss Hunter. Since it’s a work day today, I guessed you’ll be here at work, which is why I brought Little Master along.” The butler looked helpless, but his eyes shone brightly when he saw the children’s luggage in Courtney’s hand. “This must be Miss Tina’s luggage! Let me place it in the trunk first. I’ll take it home at night.”

Judging by the situation, I suppose Alexander has informed the servants at home that Tina is spending her summer vacation at their home. Courtney did not reject the butler’s request; instead, she allowed him to yank the luggage into the garage. On the other hand, she held hands with the two children to enter the lounge. She instructed someone to prepare some fruit and snacks for the children before she advised them with caution, “Tina, you have to take good care of Jordan. Can you do that for me?”

Upon hearing that, Tina jumped off the couch straight away and she stood still to bow majestically. “I promise that I’ll accomplish the mission,” she announced like an adult.

Courtney smiled in satisfaction before leaving the lounge. Usually, she would have the time to accompany the children if there were not any important events. However, the hotel was welcoming a crew to check in today. After noticing Britney’s name beforehand, she knew instinctively that the matter today would be a challenging one. Hence, she knew that she had to focus to avoid further troubles.

She barely sat down after returning to her office when the front desk phoned her to inform her that the crew

had arrived. “Miss Hunter, in all honesty, I don’t think we need to be nervous. Rumors have it that Britney is President Duncan’s fiancée, so it means that she has to maintain his dignity. I don’t think she’ll find fault with our hotel.”
