One Night Surprise Chapter 413

Chapter 413 Time Waits for No One

Inside a hotel room at the resort, the scent of alcohol wafted around indiscriminately. A bellhop came by with a basin of warm water, placing it on a stool next to the bed. “Here is the water that you requested, Miss Hunter. The hangover cure has been left on the dining table outside. Do you want me to bring it here?”

“No, thank you.”

“You’re welcome. If you need anything, please call for me.” The bellhop eyed the person on the bed. “I’ll take my leave now.”

“Okay.”

Courtney soaked a towel in the basin of water and placed it on Alexander’s forehead. He had indeed drank too much earlier this morning when Gale went to pick up Cameron. No wonder she hadn’t seen any sign of him earlier at the banquet. Initially, Courtney thought that he was deliberately avoiding her, but now, it seemed that she had been overthinking it.

“You can’t hold your liquor. Why did you drink all that wine then? None of Gale’s horde of cousins wanted to help when they were screaming their heads off earlier. You, on the other hand, are a self-sacrificing nut,” Courtney mumbled as she wrung out another damp towel and carefully wiped his hands clean. Alexander’s half-dead form slumped in the washroom earlier had indeed given her a fright.

The room was quiet since Alexander was out cold from all the alcohol. Suddenly, he murmured, “Courtney…”

Courtney stopped wiping his hands for a moment. All of a sudden, she heard him say, “Don’t come back…”

She froze, her lips twitching, curving up into a self-deprecating smile. She tossed the towel into the basin and got up to leave.

By the time Alexander came to, it was already evening. His head threatened to split itself apart from the pounding headache he had. When he shifted a little, the towel on his forehead slipped and fell onto his pillow.

The sound of footsteps came from outside. A female attendant stood by the door, smiling thankfully. “You’re awake at last, Mr. Duncan.”

Alexander sat up and placed a hand on his throbbing forehead. All he remembered was that he had followed the others to the resort after he had drunk himself silly earlier. His stomach had roiled, so he darted away from the crowd to go to the washroom. He couldn’t remember anything after that. “Why am I here?”

“You passed out in the washroom. Fortunately, our foreman brought you to this room to rest. You’ve slept the entire afternoon.”
