One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 80 She Told Me Everything

However, Alexander was unfazed as he took a sip of coffee before putting down the cup.

“You’ve misunderstood me. I was only making an assumption that maybe you came here personally for Courtney’s sake.”

His excuse was ingenious and plausible.

After that, Lucian calmed down a little as he declined to make any comments.

No matter what the true reason was, elite families would always put their reputation as their first priority.

Upon mentioning her daughter, Lucian felt a little proud. “From a young age, Courtney has always been focused with her work, so there shouldn’t be any questions about her ability, but the working environment in the country is still much different than the ones abroad after all. Looks like you have been taking good care of her, President Duncan.”

“That’s because she is already superb.” Alexander couldn’t help but remember the interview that day and the confidence on her face when she laid down the performance target she could achieve in just two months. “I didn’t help much, and even if I did, it’d only be considered a normal act of me taking care of a subordinate.”

Even though there was nothing special in his words, it wasn’t what Lucian wanted to hear, so he furrowed his brows and took a sip of tea with his head down.

Realizing that they had not gotten to the point of the conversation, Alexander took a glance at his watch. “Mr. Hunter, I have a plane to catch later on, so I’m afraid I can only chat with you for a while.”

Then, Lucian took a deep breath and gazed at him. “You should know why I came to see you.”

At the engagement ceremony back then, Alexander announced to the public that Courtney was his fiancée, and news about it was already spreading across the upper class like wildfire. Actually, from the moment he saw Lucian, he instantly figured out why he came to talk to him.
