One Night Surprise

Chapter 435 I Miss You

The car honk had drowned out Eric’s cries.

As soon as Courtney entered the car, she instinctively turned to look outside. All she saw was the vehicles that drove past and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, so she assumed that she had been mistaken earlier and didn’t take the matter to heart.

“Fasten your seatbelt.” Caleb attentively reminded her. She then came to her senses to hurriedly fasten her seatbelt before she revealed an unnatural smile.

It was quite likely that he’d sensed her awkwardness, so as soon as their car merged with the traffic, he mentioned, “Dr. Hass, you should relax. Just treat this as an outing with friends where you are catching a concert and having a meal. I’m a boring person, so I’m happy enough that you don’t mind this side of me. You should behave like yourself and disregard anything else.”

There was more guilt in Courtney’s heart as she smiled at him. How can I possibly relax? I’m about to collapse from the anxiety! If I don’t deal with him today, Linda will slaughter me tomorrow!

Then, from the side of her eyes, she studied Caleb as he drove. She suddenly shifted her gaze to rummage for her phone before she sent off a text.

‘I think your blind date, Mr. Menzie, is quite a nice man. He’s attractive and comes from a well-to-do family. Besides, he has a great temper with a stable job too. The main point is that he has a great personality, so I can’t even bear to continue being mean to him. Why don’t you consider getting together with him?’

Linda replied to the text shortly after that. ‘You can take care of that old man in the VIP room as soon as you return.’ The tone in Linda’s warning was quite obvious.

At that point, Courtney secretly cursed Linda in her heart before finally sending off another message. ‘Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to finish this task.’

In her mind, Courtney thought, I guess it’s easier to evoke dislike in someone rather than the opposite.

The concert hall was located not too far from the restaurant and it looked like Caleb had planned everything beforehand. There were many more people who attended the afternoon concert than she had expected, but perhaps the hall was filled to the brim because it was the weekend. Both Caleb and Courtney were in the middle where it was perfect since it wasn’t extremely close or far away from the stage.

However, she wasn’t too interested in the concert and she didn’t dabble too much in this aspect so, she started to nod off after a short while and soon fell into a deep sleep.
