One Night Surprise

Chapter 71 Conceal and Strike

“You’ve had that arranged too?” Courtney appeared stumped when she heard that. “Where will we stay? A hotel?” I’d like to head directly to the hotel if possible. After all, hotels have staff accommodation, and the facilities there are convenient too.

“Forget about hotels.” Alexander burst her bubble straight away. “There are no rooms left.”

“Huh? There are no rooms left? But the last time I counted, there should be still—”

“Get into the car.” Alexander shoved her into the car before she could even complete her sentence, and he ordered the chauffeur to start driving.

The car drove straight to the entrance of the Royal Park Manor. We’ve come full circle. I can’t believe I’m back here after merely staying at home for a day.

Courtney pursed her lips. “President Duncan, you can’t be telling me that this is the accommodation that you’ve arranged for me.”

“This is it.”

The servants from the residence were already shifting the suitcases into the house efficiently; Courtney could do nothing to stop them.

“This isn’t appropriate.”

“We have a lot of empty rooms, and it doesn’t make a difference with you living here. There’s always transport to drive Tina around, and it isn’t too far away from your workplace as well,” Alexander regarded Courtney while explaining. “Plus, you are not staying for free. You are in charge of breakfast and dinner during weekdays, and you’ll have to prepare three meals during the weekends. Jordan only enjoys the food you cook.”

His demands were fair, and so Courtney couldn’t fault him at all.

Even the official cook in Alexander’s house has her meals and accommodation included apart from her monthly wage. I’m just required to cook in exchange for accommodation, so I’m not truly taking advantage of the situation.
