One Night Surprise Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Too Aggressive for My Taste

Oliver took a breath, seemingly uneasy with the turn of events. After a long pause, he said firmly, “I’ll make another trip to Elmsbury and get to the bottom of this.”

“Take it slowly,” Courtney answered as she gazed at him. “We can’t afford to miss out on any details this time, so we have to deal with it step by step.”

“I know.” He was embarrassed and looked sheepish as he muttered. “I don’t think I can live with myself if I don’t get to the bottom of this.”

She raised her brow and teased, “Why? Is it because you’re the Sherlock Holmes on campus?”

Upon hearing that, his eyes widened and he gaped at her as blood rushed to his face. “H-how did you find out about this?” he asked in awkwardness.

His peers had called him Sherlock Holmes for the fun of it, but he thought it was embarrassing. He then ordered all of the juniors in his faculty to stop addressing him by that nickname. However, it only made it worse—oppression was often met with resistance and the more he fought against it, the more his juniors took pleasure in torturing him.

Even the teachers in school jumped on the bandwagon toward the end.

How did Courtney find out about it, though?

Courtney grinned. “It’s not a big secret. Didn’t you hear someone calling you that when we were on our way here? I’m pretty sure there were people who pointed at you when we cycled past them.”

Oliver buried his face in his hands, wishing that a hole would appear on the ground and swallow him up. He was sure that he would die of embarrassment.

She had always treated him like he was a kid and she probably thought he was all the more childish after learning about his ridiculous nickname.
