Chapter 59
Instead?”
“There’s no need for that.” Alexander raised his left hand slightly before shaking his fingers. “There will be more complaints if the decorations are done at night since the guests will be disturbed by the noise. Her time allocation is right, plus the lobby’s decoration will be carried out in different areas during the daytime, so the impact won’t be huge. There’s no need to be worried, so just let her do it. You just have to report the progress on time.”
“Yes, President Duncan.” Only then did Josh realize Courtney’s purpose in doing the decorations during the daytime, so he admired her a little from the bottom of his heart.
“By the way, I’d like to ask you something.”
“Please ask, President Duncan.”
Alexander’s eyes darkened. “Where is the lady who acted as the surrogate mother six years ago right now?”
“Surrogate mother?” Josh was startled for a moment; he didn’t understand why Alexander had suddenly brought up such an old story. After a moment’s hesitation, he responded reverently, “She’s in Austria. Her father died of cancer shortly after she took the money back then, so she was sent to the airport to further her studies in Austria according to the instructions of Louis, the butler. She married a local there three years ago after finishing her Master’s degree.”
“Why are you so clear about it?”
“She’s Little Master’s birth mother, after all. I have been keeping an eye on her all the time in case you ask about her one day, Young Master.”
Josh was a little nervous. Alexander never instructed him to do this, but he had grown accustomed to taking more details into consideration while doing things after working for Alexander for seven years.
Alexander didn’t suspect that there was something wrong with Josh’s answer. Josh had been his close aide since he took over Sunhill Enterprise. Josh and Louis, who used to be his butler, were in charge of having the surrogate mother arranged back then. If there was something wrong with the lady who acted as the surrogate mother back then, Josh wouldn’t have kept it secret from him.
Josh wouldn’t have hid such a secret if anything went wrong, so it meant that Josh probably had no idea about this.
