One Night Surprise

Chapter 52 You Can Go With Her

On Friday afternoon, Courtney went to the headquarters of Sunhill Enterprise for a meeting.

“After our last meeting, here is the improved plan after taking everyone’s feedback into account. If there is anything else that needs to be amended, there is still time to do so.”

Courtney stood before the projector, dressed in a crisp business outfit with a skirt. Her bouncy waves were tied up, leaving only her side bangs as it swept across her forehead. While she looked mature, there was an air of loveliness peeking through her maturity.

The attendees discussed among themselves for a while, but they seemed to have no opposing opinions.

“Well, that’s that. We’ll begin decorating the venue next Monday.” Alexander’s voice reverberated through the meeting room. “This matter is now completely under Miss Hunter’s jurisdiction, and that is all for this meeting.”

The sound of chairs scratching the floor could be heard the moment he said that. Everyone scattered like the wind, leaving Courtney alone at her seat as she gathered her laptop and the documents she brought along.

“I’ll pick you up at 9.00AM tomorrow.” Alexander’s voice came from behind her. He was talking about their promise to have a picnic at the forestry center.

Last week, Sapphire Kindergarten gave the children their final homework before the start of the summer holidays. The kids were supposed to go to the woods to find different types of leaves and draw a picture of them.

However, Courtney stiffened for a moment before returning to her senses. She hastily turned around, an apologetic look on her face.

“I’m sorry—I might not be able to make it since something cropped up at the last moment. Cameron’s on holiday, so she’ll be taking Tina to help her out with her homework. If you don’t mind, you can go with her.”

Alexander tipped his head slightly. He didn’t seem to have much of a reaction to that; a barely discernible frown simply appeared on his face.

After Courtney left, Josh followed Alexander back to his office. As they walked, Josh flipped through Alexander’s schedule.

“Mr. Duncan, tomorrow is the night of the young Graham scion’s engagement party. If you are sure that you won’t be going, I will arrange for the secretary to go as your representative.”
