One Night Surprise

Chapter 252 I Was Being Taken Advantage Of

Courtney handed Tina over to Oliver. “Tina hasn’t had lunch yet; do take her out for a meal. I have an appointment with someone for a discussion. I will be back later.”

“Alright.” He nodded. “Courtney, who are you meeting with?”

She paused for a moment. “Mikayla Lewis.”

In an open-air café on Kyoto Road, the metal tables and chairs emanated rich French vibes and the maple leaves of the early autumn hung high above them, indicating that the weather in Melrose City had become cooler.

Mikayla was drinking coffee in her beige coat, looking as exquisite as when Courtney first saw her. Anyone who laid eyes on Mikayla would get the distinct impression that she was raised and pampered like a little princess from a young age.

Courtney looked around when she arrived at the place.

“Over here.” Mikayla’s voice came from a spot near the wall. Courtney raised her head and saw Mikayla waving at her, so she went over and took a seat.

“I’ve ordered a caramel macchiato, a black forest cake, and a salad for you. Is that alright?”

Courtney nodded slightly. “Thank you. You told me on the phone that you have something to discuss; let’s just get straight to the point.” She did not find her relationship with Mikayla close enough to the point of having lunch together. On top of that, the two of them had just left from an incredibly awkward lunch without even greeting each other.

Mikayla pursed her lips. “Please don’t get me wrong. The reason I asked you out this time is different than before. I apologize for my previous impoliteness.”

Mikayla seemed sincere but Courtney still thought that she was provoking her. “There’s no need for that. You have now gotten what you want, so apologizing at this point only sounds sarcastic to me.”
