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.

Just as she was about to enter the elevator, Alexander caught up with her. However, she was quick to close the elevator doors and he was left standing outside. He had no choice, but to stare helplessly as the elevator descended swiftly. Soon, it stopped on the first floor.

By the time he descended to the hotel entrance via another elevator to chase after her, she had already entered the car. Through the car window, he could vaguely make out a man’s side profile before he clenched his fists tightly in anger and he took out his phone to call her.

The car drove away from the downtown area, which was crowded with people, when Courtney’s phone would not stop ringing in the car.

“Aren’t you going to answer that?” the man sitting beside her asked.

She immediately declined the call while turning sideways to look at Isaac. “No worries. Just drop me at the intersection in front. I’ll grab a cab to head home.”

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

“No need.” Courtney flatly refused. “You know why I entered your car earlier. We do not have to be polite with each other.”

“I am not being polite.”
