One Night Surprise

Chapter 49 A Crazy Woman and a Damn Jerk

“What? You’re the one who wants to buy these?”

Seeing how Alexander stood up for Tina, Courtney was forced to throw in the towel. She glared at the girl. “I’ll let it slide just this once, Tina. I’ll be deducting your pocket money for next month.”

Tina pouted pitifully. Jordan tugged at her sleeve and blinked at her, indicating that he still had his own pocket money. It was only then did Tina break out into a smile again.

Just as Courtney was about to nag Alexander about his child-rearing methods, her phone rang all of a sudden. The moment she accepted the call, she could hear the noisy sound of a crowd accompanied by a frail woman’s voice on the other end.

“Are you at home, Courtney? Please come here quickly.”

“What’s wrong?”

After asking several questions, Courtney’s expression tensed. “What? Not again…”

With Alexander here as well, Courney couldn’t let too much slip. She hastily ended the call and looked at him. “Something urgent came up. Could you please watch over Tina on my behalf?”

“Sure.”

“Thanks a lot.”

With that, Courtney rushed her way past the cashier and ran toward the supermarket exit, not caring if Alexander had finished speaking. She looked like she was in a hurry.

Alexander swallowed his question about the urgent matter and his offer to send her to wherever she was going.

It happened to be rush hour as people got off work. The taxi that Courtney had hailed was stuck in traffic for half an hour before she finally made it to the security area in the airport. As soon as she stepped in, she saw a woman dressed in black and white sitting on a chair. The sunglasses perched on the woman’s face did not hide any of the arrogance she had.

With her white blouse tucked into a high-waisted black fishtail skirt and the cold gleam glinting off the silver sequined purse she was holding onto, the woman seemed very cold and unapproachable. The 12 centimeter-heels that she had on made her legs look longer, slender, and powerful.
