One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

At night, the hotel employees had already completed their cleaning duties before they got off work. After giving instructions to the janitors to have a final clean of the area, Courtney packed her stuff and clocked out of work. While she drove home, she received a notification from the hotel’s general manager.

The traffic was awful duriny ane peak hour, so she decided that she should take a look at the message. Upon reading the content, she frowned and gave him a call. “Mr. Webb, why is there a sudden request for me to stay in the hotel?”.

Mr. Webb’s helpless voice came from the other side of the phone. “It was an order given by the headquarters. I’m not sure about it as well. Maybe it is because they are afraid that something may happen when the important guests are here, so they need you there to handle them if anything urgent comes up. What’s the matter? Is there any problem from your side?

“The thing is that my daughter is having her summer holidays, so she is now at home. The notice came at a sudden to me and I haven’t figured out where she should stay. Can I bring her along with me to stay in the hotel?”

“What do you think?”

Upon noticing the displeasure in his tone, she felt awkward. “I understand. I was just asking. It’s fine if I can’t. I will figure out a way.”

After hanging up her phone, she stared at the screen. Sigh, the ones with authority surely can do anything they like. I am going to obey the last-minute arrangement without any complaints, yet I am not allowed to bring along my daughter to stay in the hotel. Looks like I will have to put her under Cameron’s care.

Fortunately, Cameron was on holiday, so she would be home the whole day and night.

“I initially thought not to occupy your time, but this time is really something unexpected.”

“You don’t need to be courteous around me. I am, after all, Tina’s godmother, so this is my responsibility. Just leave her with me and I will take proper care of her.” Cameron adamantly agreed. “Speaking of which, tomorrow is a Saturday, right? It’s your day off, so let’s head out shopping.”

Courtney explained, “I need to first send Tina to her swimming class. I was told that they are having parent child classes this weekend, which are classes that need the parents’ involvement. I will take a look at it first, and if I don’t need to be there, I will give you a call.”

“Parent-child class? It is not even a kindergarten.” Cameron was puzzled.

When Courtney went to the washroom, she lay on the couch and poked Tina’s shoulder. “Tina, be honest and tell me-why are you suddenly interested in learning how to swim? What are you scheming?”

Tina, who was sitting on the carpet while watching the cartoon, was suddenly questioned. She shrank backward as she chuckled. “Godmother, what are you saying? I don’t understand.”

Cameron pinched her cheek. “Stop pretending. Your mother is not a swimmer, but you are no better. You used to cry your eyes out during shower time when you were younger, but now you are taking the initiative to learn how to swim?”

Seeing that she could not continue to hide it from Cameron, Tina pouted and pleaded, “This is for Mommy’s lifelong happiness. Godmother, if you are my mommy’s best friend, you have to help me. You have to get her to come with me to the swimming pool tomorrow.”

“Lifelong happiness?” Cameron shot Tina a glance. “Why is that so? Have you arranged a blind date for her at the swimming pool?”

“Not exactly, but it’s close.”

“I want to watch.”

“No!” Tina immediately rejected the idea. “Things won’t develop well if there are many people around!”

“Sneaky brat, you falling into your

The two of them whispered to each other in the living room while Courtney hummed a song to herself as she brushed her teeth and was totally ignorant to their conversation.

After a night, Courtney took her time to pack her things after having breakfast at home the next morning before bringing Tina to the swimming pool.

“We are leaving.” Before Courtney departed, she glanced in the direction of the couch. She could not help but to shake her head at Cameron, who was leisurely lounging on the couch while eating chips and watching Korean drama with a face mask on her face despite it being early in the morning.

Most people would be traveling during the holidays, but it was not the case for her-she preferred to laze at home without going anywhere during her holidays as she hoped to lie on the couch and dig a hole in it.

“I will wait for your news.”

Before the door was closed, Courtney heard Cameron saying those words in a weak tone and it made her frown. After contemplating for a moment, she thought, Maybe she means going shopping?
