One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 163

Chapter 163 How Magnanimous

“Is this why you’re upset? What did Mikayla tell you?” Alexander looked at Courtney with a complicated expression. When he couldn’t find her anywhere last night, his first reaction was that she might have learned something. After all, he only discovered that Mikayla was the president of SG Eastern Branch after she spent several days in the hotel.

“She didn’t say anything to me.” Courtney laughed self-deprecatingly. “She doesn’t like me very much. After all, she is your childhood friend and legitimate fiancée. A person you love; what does she need to tell me? All she needs to do is stand by your side. You’re a good match for each other.”

“Courtney.” He cut her off, then unhappily continued, “Do you know what you’re saying?”

“I don’t know.” She turned away and refused to look at him.

“Let’s go to your office if you want to know about my past with Mikayla. I will tell you everything. But, I don’t like women being unreasonable. You are not this kind of person either.”

Upon hearing those words, she clenched her fists tightly. She spent the whole night constructing all sorts of ideas, but it all fell apart the moment she saw him. The loss of reasoning immediately turned her into an unreasonable and bitter woman. Even if she agreed that she was acting just as he described, she couldn’t help feeling as if a knife was stabbing into her heart when she heard him saying those words. Thus, she quickly entered the elevator. “Forget it; I’m not in the mood for this. Let’s talk next time.” Avoiding him is good too. I need some time to digest what I heard last night.

Oliver’s luggage was packed and ready to go—it was an 18-inch suitcase that was easy to carry around. Courtney absent-mindedly listened to Oliver telling her about his overall itinerary; she barely heard anything he said.

“You don’t look too good today. Are you feeling unwell?” Oliver frowned as he looked at her. His eyes were filled with concern.

“I’m fine.” She pulled her thoughts back to the present and changed the topic. “By the way, what time did you say your flight was this afternoon? I’ll send you to the airport.”

 

“It’s okay. It’s at 3 PM; you won’t be able to make it.”

She smiled faintly. “I only
