One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 65 She Favors Him Over You

“It’s me, Courtney.” The loud and clear voice of a young man spoke from the other end of the line.

“I know it’s you,” Courtney spoke gently with a note of familiarity. “It’s not like the caller ID isn’t displayed. What’s the matter? You told me last time that you’d return to the country after the performances are over. Have you confirmed when you’re coming back?”

“It’s been confirmed.”

“Well, when is it? I just wrapped up a project, so I can go to the airport to pick you up if I’m available.”

“It’s not necessary.”

“You’re right.” Courtney smiled. “Our famous cellist here is also a popular Prince Charming whom every lady in the country dreams of marrying; naturally, he has a special car to take him wherever he goes.”

“This Prince Charming is about to sleep out on the streets right now. Don’t you care about me, Courtney?”

“What do you mean by sleeping out on the streets?”

“Just turn around.”

Upon hearing this, Courtney subconsciously turned around to look at Sunhill Hotel’s entrance. Standing at the entrance against the background of a large fountain, the young man was dragging his suitcase with a huge cello case on his back. He was staring at her with a grin, revealing his white teeth.

His grin was innocent without a trace of impurity. Then, he spread his arms wide and shouted, “Surprise, Courtney!”

Courtney was startled for a moment before smiling almost instantly. Trotting up to him in her 10-centimeter heels, she slapped his shoulder and complained with a smile, “You brat! When did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“I have been traveling by plane for more than 40 hours, and I’m almost dying of exhaustion right now.”

“Let’s have dinner later.” Courtney checked the time. “It just so happens that I’ve finished my work today. Wait for me while I pack my stuff up and clock out.”
