One Night Surprise

Chapter 119 It Won’t Go Well if There Are Too Many People Around!

At night, the hotel employees had already completed their cleaning duties before they got off work. After giving instructions to the janitors to have a final clean of the area, Courtney packed her stuff and clocked out of work. While she drove home, she received a notification from the hotel’s general manager.

The traffic was awful during the peak hour, so she decided that she should take a look at the message. Upon reading the content, she frowned and gave him a call. “Mr. Webb, why is there a sudden request for me to stay in the hotel?”

Mr. Webb’s helpless voice came from the other side of the phone. “It was an order given by the headquarters. I’m not sure about it as well. Maybe it is because they are afraid that something may happen when the important guests are here, so they need you there to handle them if anything urgent comes up. What’s the matter? Is there any problem from your side?”

“The thing is that my daughter is having her summer holidays, so she is now at home. The notice came at a sudden to me and I haven’t figured out where she should stay. Can I bring her along with me to stay in the hotel?”

“What do you think?”

Upon noticing the displeasure in his tone, she felt awkward. “I understand. I was just asking. It’s fine if I can’t. I will figure out a way.”

After hanging up her phone, she stared at the screen. Sigh, the ones with authority surely can do anything they like. I am going to obey the last-minute arrangement without any complaints, yet I am not allowed to bring along my daughter to stay in the hotel. Looks like I will have to put her under Cameron’s care.

Fortunately, Cameron was on holiday, so she would be home the whole day and night.

“I initially thought not to occupy your time, but this time is really something unexpected.”

“You don’t need to be courteous around me. I am, after all, Tina’s godmother, so this is my responsibility. Just leave her with me and I will take proper care of her.” Cameron adamantly agreed. “Speaking of which, tomorrow is a Saturday, right? It’s your day off, so let’s head out shopping.”

Courtney explained, “I need to first send Tina to her swimming class. I was told that they are having parent-child classes this weekend, which are classes that need the parents’ involvement. I will take a look at it first, and if I don’t need to be there, I will give you a call.”

“Parent-child class? It is not even a kindergarten.” Cameron was puzzled.

When Courtney went to the washroom, she lay on the couch and poked Tina’s shoulder. “Tina, be honest and tell me—why are you suddenly interested in learning how to swim? What are you scheming?”
