One Night Surprise Chapter 431

Chapter 431 Shouldn’t Harbor a Grudge

Generally, each time Linda came to look for her, there was bound to be trouble. At that moment, Courtney recalled Linda’s previous threat and how Linda had forced her to attend a blind date. As Courtney had been extremely busy with work for the last two days, she had completely forgotten about it.

“Dr. Hunter, why are you in a hurry? I have the rest of the day off too, so let’s go for a drink.”

“Chief Hass…” Courtney then forced a smile. “I’m off work now and my two daughters are waiting for me at home. I have to go.”

“That’s just the perfect timing. I heard that you’re great at cooking. How about we head over to your place for a drink?”

Frankly speaking, Courtney was not prepared to invite Linda, who had such an exalted presence, to her home, so she hurriedly rejected by saying, “My house is a mess right now. It’s not fit to host any guests at the current moment. I’ll definitely invite the gang over for a party once I’ve cleaned up the place.”

“I don’t mind. Since I’m rather free, how about I head over and help you to clean up the place? We’re all part of a close-knit and large family at Melrose Hospital anyway.”

At that point, the two of them went back and forth on this topic for more than ten minutes. In the end, Courtney finally lost her patience. “Chief Hass, I honestly can’t attend the blind date on your behalf.”

At this moment, Linda’s beam widened. “Dr. Hunter, look here. I’ve already mentioned this before, stop addressing me as Chief Hass. We don’t have a huge age gap, so you can just address me by my name.”

Meanwhile, Courtney looked at the smile on Linda’s face and felt a chill run down her spine.

“Well, the thing is that the patient in the first VIP room needs a qualified doctor to care for him 24/7. I noticed that you seem to know the old man well, so you should be quite familiar with his daily lifestyle. I reckon you would be the best candidate for that role.”

Courtney’s expression then stiffened, but she solemnly replied after a short while, “Don’t worry, Chief Hass. I’ll definitely turn up for the blind date tomorrow.” It was fine for someone to stand their ground against throwing in the towel in exchange of gaining interests, but if it could prevent a potentially awkward situation, then perhaps it was alright to agree just this once.

After all, she wasn’t ready to face Scott yet. As such, it would be a rather tough job to take care of him at the hospital 24/7.
