One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Brenda growled through gritted teeth, “What are you going to do? What’s the point of us ruining each other? My reputation will be destroyed, but what good will it bring to your hotel? Are you going to give up on your job for the sake of a mere receptionist?”

Courtney’s expression was cold wo she scoffed, “To have a clear conscience, but I have no plans to have a life and death struggle with you either.”

Brenda detected a silver lining in her words and she frowned as she looked at Courtney.

“You don’t want this incident to be known by everyone, do you? The hotel will protect a client’s secret, so I will delete everything that the hotel employees have recorded with their phones earlier and I can ensure that they won’t spread this incident online, but with one condition.”

“Name it.”

“Apologize to Penelope.”

Upon hearing it, Brenda was stunned. After she hesitated for some time, she finally nodded with reluctance with her brows furrowed.

With several hotel executives as the witnesses, Brenda personally apologized to Penelope in the lounge. As a result, Penelope seemed a little uneasy and she stopped Courtney with anxiety after Brenda and everyone else left. “Miss Hunter, will l-l still be fired?”

.

Courtney smiled. “The matter has been thoroughly investigated, so why would we fire you? Don’t make hasty decisions like this in the future since your life matters the most.”

It was only then that Penelope heaved a sign of relief. Tears swam in her eyes as she solemnly nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Miss Hunter.”

“Don’t thank me for this matter. It was Oliver who helped you to look into this matter, so you should thank him instead.”

“Oliver?” Penelope was stunned and her face suddenly blushed. “Where is he now?”

“Right now? I think he should be at the cafe downstairs.”

“Let me go and look for him now.”

While looking at Penelope’s lively figure, Courtney helplessly smiled while she folded her arms across her chest.

Ever since Oliver started to stay in the hotel, many ladies there came to her with all sorts of reasons to inquire about him. Even a patient who lost his memory had such great attraction, which showed how much the society cared about one’s look.

Just when Courtney was about to leave, a figure paused next to her before she heard Alexander’s voice. “You are only older than that kid by a couple of years, yet your smile makes you look like you are his mother. Are you addicted to being his mother?”

She immediately turned and snapped, “Who are you talking about? President Duncan, this kind of joke is not funny in a work setting.”

Raising his eyebrow, he had a smug look on his face. “I don’t crack jokes. I am merely curious as to how the kid will react if he finds out that you passionately arranged a girl to look for him.”

His words left her puzzled. “What sort of reaction?”

As she spoke, two waiters passed by them. One of them attempted to greet them but was stopped and

dragged away by the other. Their conversation could be vaguely heard from a distance.

“Idiot. You know the relationship between President Duncan and Miss Hunter, yet you tried to approach them.”

The other waiter was rendered speechless.

“You just have to pretend that you didn’t see anything.”

Courtney was at a loss for words and her face’instantly flushed red.
