One Night Surprise

Chapter 97 You Guys Really Broke Up?

“What are you doing?”

Courtney thought Alexander had released his grip on her. However, in that instant, she was dragged back into the conference room before she could even regain her balance. The world spun around her as she was pushed onto the huge meeting desk. With a loud thud, vibrations throughout the entire structure were heard as the door was closed.

Angered and humiliated, she raised her pale face while demanding, “What are you doing?”

“Respect myself?” Alexander loosened his tie and pressed his hands down on her sides to pin her down on the conference table. With a darkened expression, he looked down at her as he spoke. “Let me ask you this—after you sleep with men, do you treat it as if it was nothing and ask them to ‘respect themselves’?” For such a long time, am I the only one who cared about the ‘accident’ that night?

Courtney turned her head around. With her face still pressed down to the table, she avoided his gaze as she only felt anger apart from the humiliation. “If you care so much about what happened that night. I apologize for giving you the wrong idea. I have no feelings for you whatsoever, let alone wanting to play hard to get with you. So, let me go.”

“Great.” Alexander was angered to the point where he burst out in laughter as his hands traced her waist. “That’s just great!”

Goosebumps rose in each area that he touched Courtney as trepidation rose within her. “What are you doing? Let me go!”

“You don’t mind, do you? In that case, if we do it one more time, what’s there to worry about?”

When she heard that, her mind seemed to have exploded and she started to struggle against his grip without even thinking about it. However, in front of Alexander, her strength was no match at all.

Not only was he enraged by her words, but he also felt that she had trampled on his pride as a man. Throughout his entire life, it was the first time that he cared for a woman—yet all he received from her was the ‘wrong idea’. This is a great humiliation for me.

As cool air gushed over her, Courtney’s eyes suddenly widened and she mustered the courage out of nowhere to escape from his grip to give him a slap. The loud smack reverberated throughout the entire conference room.

With that, Alexander immediately stopped his actions. In no time, a red, clear palm print slowly appeared on his cheek.

“*sshole!” Courtney quickly pushed him away and escaped.
