One Night Surprise

Chapter 33 Don’t Come Back if You’re That Great

Josh felt Alexander’s darkened gaze lingering on him the moment he finished his sentence, so he quickly swallowed the rest of his words; he then quietly ignited the car engine and wore his seatbelt. Everything is pretty obvious, anyway. Courtney made a bet with the boss—she promised to pack up and leave if she didn’t fulfil the job achievements that she had agreed to by the end of her 3-month probation. All of the interviewers witnessed this agreement.

Although the hotel’s performance has been improving ever since Courtney took over the job, she’s still far from achieving her targeted goals. It has been 2 months, and she even had to be hospitalized for a while during that period, so it seems like she might not be able to succeed.

That’s probably why Alexander put her in charge of the centennial celebration! Firstly, it gives her an additional two months to work here; also, she can take credit for all the achievements obtained as she handles the centennial celebration. But there was one thing that Josh still didn’t understand. Why is Alexander being so caring toward Courtney? Is it just because she saved Jordan?

“By the way, President Duncan, didn’t you say that Eddie’s driving skills were pretty good? Why did you fire him all of a sudden?” Josh asked.

“He talked too much,” Alexander muttered.

Josh felt his muscles tensing in fright. He no longer dared to say anything as he was pretty talkative himself.

Edward Burton, the mentor who guided Courtney in her job, quickly handed the rest of her projects and duties over to other employees once Courtney took on the project of planning the centennial celebration. She was surprised to see that he did this to allow more time for her to handle her current project.

“Courtney, there were so many people from the planning team during that meeting, yet President Duncan wasn’t interested in any of their ideas. You have to do a good job since your abilities caught his eye. It helps to improve our hotel’s reputation as well.” Edward rarely ever guided her in work, but he seemed to have changed his attitude toward her after that meeting. She was flattered. “I’ll work hard!”
