One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

As their body temperatures increased at an accelerating rate, the whole room was starting to burn. The intimate kiss spread all the way to Courtney’s chin, neck and her chest while a huge pair of hands swept through her body. However, she did not resist him at all since her mind was completely blank.

Knock! Knock! Knock! The rapid knocks on the door tried to halt the man’s advancement,

“Miss Hunter, Penelope has woken up. What should we do? The police are also here.”

Suddenly, she returned to her senses and pushed Alexander away as she sat up in panic.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Miss Hunter, are you there?”

On the other side of the office door, Addie’s voice was filled with confusion.

After taking a deep breath, she tried her best to compose herself. “I’m here. I didn’t hear you the first time because I’m a little busy. I’ll be there in 5 minutes. You can head there first.”

“What is it? Do you need my help?”

Upon hearing his words, she suddenly felt frustrated, so she anxiously replied, “No, l-I’m changing my clothes. My clothes became dirty while I was saving Penelope.”

Luckily, Addie left, so Courtney let out a sigh of relief. As she turned, she saw Alexander smiling at her with his narrowed eyes. “Don’t you blink whe’ lie?”

Suddenly, she could feel her face flushing as she stared at him. “It’s all because of you.”

“Actually, your lie isn’t convincing enough.” He held his arms and spoke teasingly. “Many people saw me carrying you here. How likely is it that your assistant doesn’t know that I’m in here?”

Upon hearing his explanation, Courtney’s expression changed as she could not say anything for a while. Am / not shooting myself in the leg?

“Then, why did you do that if you clearly knew about this?” She gritted her teeth. “You did this on purpose.”

“Yes, I did it on purpose.” Alexander remained calm. “An eye for an eye.”

Instantly, her brows tightened. “What do you mean? Where have I offended you again?”

Alexander profoundly gazed at her and reminded, “You seem to have quickly forgotten about the unspoken rule in the Ancient City.”

Courtney suddenly came around while her face became hotter, “That is because…”

For a while, she tried to follow up on the word ‘because’, but she just could not find the excuse. She immediately became upset, so she changed the subject. “So, because of that, you took it to heart and always targeted me until today. Not only that, you even purposely tried to embarrass me in front of everyone today…”

Alexander’s eyes flickered as he murmured, “Do you really think I would go against you because of that?”

“What else could it be?” Courtney looked angry as she mumbled quietly. “You exposed me in front of many people at the meeting, which shows how petty you are to abuse your power.”

“What are you saying?”

“I said nothing.” She avoided her gaze and moved aside.

After giancing at her, Alexander’s eyes landed on a large bouquet of roses in the corner. Slowly, the tease in his eyes disappeared as he pretended to be indifferent. “That scent is too strong. Please don’t put it in your office from now on. It has such a poor taste.”
