One Night Surprise Chapter 459

Chapter 459 Revealing His Cards by Accident

The employees at Sunhill Enterprise were one hour into their afternoon shift by the time Caleb returned, and the look Eric gave him as he walked into Alexander’s office was full of sympathy.

“Please be patient if President Duncan loses his temper, Mr. Menzie. He’s in a bad mood today,” Eric was kind enough to remind him. “He’s… uh… dealing with a bit of a relationship problem.”

“Alright,” Caleb answered, but the calm expression on his face as he entered gave Eric the impression that he had not understood Eric’s meaning. “Were you looking for me, President Duncan?”

At that moment, Alexander was still livid and his anger had yet to subside even after berating three or four of the departmental heads. “It’s already 3.15 PM. Has the Legal Department found itself with a lot of free time on its hands lately, or do you have an assignment requiring you to leave the office?”

“You had me prepare for a lawsuit last night, President Duncan. This case isn’t very difficult; I researched it throughout the night and only left to gather some required materials.”

“Only to gather some materials?”

“What else would I be doing during working hours?”

Straightening, Alexander began evasively, “Someone saw you at the hospital at 12.30 PM today.”

After a pause, Caleb replied with a frown, “The employee lunch break is at 12.30. I went to deliver lunch to my girlfriend and then left the hospital at 1.30 to look for information at the Bureau of Commerce. Did I need to apply to the company for leave for that?” And then, he paused for a few seconds. “I don’t think anyone with an upstanding character would come to you over such trivial matters, President Duncan. Perhaps you should consider having HR fire them.”

Already low-spirited to hear Caleb say ‘girlfriend’, Alexander became even more grumpier upon hearing the latter half of Caleb’s advice. Impulsively, he blurted, “Your girlfriend?! Has she agreed to date you, then?”

“‘She’?” Caleb asked in surprise. “Do you know her, President Duncan?”

Just like that, Alexander was stunned into stillness.

This was the first time in his life that he had misspoken during a conversation and accidentally revealed his cards at the beginning. It was a portent that he would not win, and he couldn’t help being a little annoyed by that fact.
