One Night Surprise (Courtney and Alexander) novel Chapter 87

 

Chapter 87

As soon as he heard Tina calling him, Jordan’s eyes immediately brightened and he released his grip on Alexander to run to her. He could not stop smiling as he looked at her.

As she shared many common topics with him, she started to share with Jordan about everything that happened in the past two days-the incident on the plane, at the beach, the storm that she encountered when they were at the sea… The topics were endless.

Alexander subtly pulled the chair next to Courtney and deliberately asked, “You don’t mind me sitting here, do you?”

Courtney forced a smile. Even though she told him that she did not mind, one look at her eyes illustrated that she could not wait for him to leave.

However, he ignored it and politely nodded at her. She was so infuriated by his actions that she could have flipped the table in front of him countless times.

Upon seeing them ‘flirt with each other, Shay felt rather disappointed. For many years, Courtney has only been treating me as her younger brother. Even though I usually joke about marrying her, she has never treated it seriously enough to give it a thought. Even though I’m closer to her, my chances are not that high, compared to an outsider. Now that this sly fox, Alexander, has suddenly appeared, he’s adding fuel to the fire. This fox has even tricked me to sign a contract with the media company that he has stocks in! As he thought about it, he gritted his teeth in resentment.

He could not resist being sarcastic. “The President of the Sunhill Enterprise has come all the way here-you are not planning to expand your business here, are you?”

Alexander merely shot him a glance. “Your suggestion is pretty useful. When I have more time, I will consider doing business in this area. However, this time around, I’m just here to travel with my son.”

“There are so many places to trave…h your son. Why do you have to follow us here? I find it hard to believe that this is all just a coincidence!”

With a calm composure, Alexander responded, “It’s not a coincidence. Both Jordan and I have always thought that it’s best to come here.”

Shay immediately clenched his fists as he asked, “What’s so good about this place?”

“There are many people around, so it’s lively.”

“You,”

“Let’s dig in.” Courtney’s voice suddenly interrupted them as she looked uneasy. “The food is becoming cold.”

Alexander’s eyebrows were slightly arched as he slowly took a sip of his tea.

However, Shay looked quite upset. “Aren’t you about to be married soon? Why didn’t you bring your fiancée along?”

His question was exactly the same as what Courtney had in mind. In that instant, she became more nervous. Even though she did not lift her head, she still listened attentively.

Alexander merely put his giass down with a relaxed expression. “I don’t remember announcing it publicly that I’m getting married. Where did you hear about this ‘fiancée’ of mine?

As soon as she heard that, the expression on her face immediately changed and she subconsciously raised her head to look at Alexander. When she saw his serious composure, which did not indicate that he was joking, she suddenly became more nervous. Is he saying that he has no plans to marry Britney at all?

“Everyone in the industry has said so. Yet, you still want to deny it?” Again, Shay had asked the question that

he wanted to ask as well.

With his head lowered, Alexander cut his steak and retorted sloviy, “Have you confirmed the gossip about you and the other celebrity? Seems like you don’t need the company to clarify for you anymore.”

“You. “Shay wag speechless by Alexander’s comeback In fact, he was co angry that his cheeks blushed red. “Stop using the company’s name to pressure me. If you hadn’t forced me to sign the contract in such a despicable inanner, I would never have signed it!”
