One Night Surprise

Chapter 118 Announce It to the Whole World

Brenda growled through gritted teeth, “What are you going to do? What’s the point of us ruining each other? My reputation will be destroyed, but what good will it bring to your hotel? Are you going to give up on your job for the sake of a mere receptionist?”

Courtney’s expression was cold as she scoffed, “To have a clear conscience, but I have no plans to have a life and death struggle with you either.”

Brenda detected a silver lining in her words and she frowned as she looked at Courtney.

“You don’t want this incident to be known by everyone, do you? The hotel will protect a client’s secret, so I will delete everything that the hotel employees have recorded with their phones earlier and I can ensure that they won’t spread this incident online, but with one condition.”

“Name it.”

“Apologize to Penelope.”

Upon hearing it, Brenda was stunned. After she hesitated for some time, she finally nodded with reluctance with her brows furrowed.

With several hotel executives as the witnesses, Brenda personally apologized to Penelope in the lounge. As a result, Penelope seemed a little uneasy and she stopped Courtney with anxiety after Brenda and everyone else left. “Miss Hunter, will I-I still be fired?”

Courtney smiled. “The matter has been thoroughly investigated, so why would we fire you? Don’t make hasty decisions like this in the future since your life matters the most.”

It was only then that Penelope heaved a sigh of relief. Tears swam in her eyes as she solemnly nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Miss Hunter.”

“Don’t thank me for this matter. It was Oliver who helped you to look into this matter, so you should thank him instead.”

“Oliver?” Penelope was stunned and her face suddenly blushed. “Where is he now?”

“Right now? I think he should be at the cafe downstairs.”
