One Night Surprise Chapter 126

Chapter 126 This Is Between You and Me

Alexander had never wasted time pondering the idea of a soulmate until he met Courtney Hunter.

He had been the type to believe that a dog offered more reliable companionship than marriage ever could, and he had never been lonely in all the time he was single. In fact, he had enjoyed his bachelorhood very much. He had thought that Jordan was the only one capable of turning his life upside down, but then he met Courtney and realized he had been very wrong.

That said, the only difference between Jordan and Courtney had been the way in which they had shown up in Alexander’s life. Where Alexander had felt conflicted when he first met Jordan, he had felt the complete opposite with Courtney—if anything, his fondness and affection for her had only grown since their first meeting.

Presently, the sound of the door clicking shut seemed to reverberate throughout the suite, but it was soft enough to not stir Courtney from her slumber.

As Alexander emerged from the suite, Josh, who had been waiting by the door, greeted, “President Duncan.”

Alexander nodded in acknowledgement, then said, “Right. I need you to take care of the rumors that have been going around the hotel for the past couple of days. I don’t want to hear any more of these groundless accusations.”

He was getting irritated just talking about this. Everyone in the hotel was under the impression that Courtney was married, and instead of clarifying on this matter, she had chosen to keep her mouth shut for the sake of convenience. Now, Alexander was left with no choice but to resolve the issue himself.

“I’ll have it taken care of by tomorrow morning,” Josh promised. “By the way, I’ve looked into the incident with Louis; his neighbor said that a young man had dropped by Louis’s house before the fire broke out.”

At this, Alexander stopped in his tracks and raised a brow. “A young man?”

“Eye witnesses claimed that the young man was a college student who couldn’t be more than 20, and that he had delicate features. He was seen staying with Louis the last time he visited the old town, and half a month had passed before he dropped by again the other day. That same night, a fire broke out in Louis’ home. Here’s a picture of the young man in question.”
