One Night Surprise

Chapter 67 Taking Advantage of Her

“By the way, I believe you two have met before.” Courtney looked at Alexander before glancing at Shay. “Would you like me to introduce you two?”

“No need for that.” Alexander glanced at Shay with a complicated look. Then, he added in an odd tone, “Your future boyfriend has introduced himself.”

Courtney was stumped when she heard that. Hence, she turned around to glare at Shay. “What nonsense did you spout this time?”

Shay scowled deeply, looking clearly upset. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare comment further; he mumbled in a quiet voice instead, “What do you mean, spouting nonsense?”

“He is my younger brother,” Courtney explained to Alexander. “He is a cellist, but he’s jobless now.”

“Oh, that means he is currently relying on you to survive.” Alexander glanced at Shay in a scornful way.

“Says who I’m relying on Courtney to survive? I’m merely staying with her temporarily. Besides, I’ll be signed on to a new company soon enough,” Shay retorted as he glared at Alexander furiously.

“I hope so too.” Courtney looked at him while appearing slightly helpless.

“I need to make some preparations in the kitchen. You two should feel free to chat.”

Shay was just about to launch into a long speech that he wasn’t completely without income when Alexander picked the ingredients up from the floor. Then, he moved forward swiftly to enter the kitchen.

“What are you doing?” Courtney chased after him hastily.

“I’ll help you.”

The two of them entered the kitchen one after another, whereas Shay stood rooted to the spot in a daze for a while before he snapped back to his senses and followed them in a hurry too. “I’ll help too.”
