One Night Surprise

Chapter 285 I Do Not Hate You

Courtney turned to leave after speaking her mind.

Where are you going?”

“That’s none of your business,” she sounded livid. With that, she held onto her skirt to walk down the stairs—she was preparing to leave the cocktail party and the hotel straight away.

“I’ll send you home.” He looked uneasy. “It’s late and it is not safe out here.”

“I am not being polite.”
