One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Let Me Go

The following afternoon, Cameron drove Courtney to the hotel.

“Do you want me to go in with you?” Cameron asked teasingly, wagging her eyebrows. “We might bump into Alexander, and if it gets awkward for you, I could give him an answer on your behalf.”

“Would it kill you to shut up about this?” Courtney rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Pop the trunk. I’ll leave Tina in your capable hands for now.”

“Got it,” Cameron answered, leaning into her seat. She winked at Courtney mischievously and said, “Instead of worrying about everything else, you ought to think about how you could work things out on your end, like finding a step-dad for Tina or something.”

At this, Courtney could muster no comeback. Ever since this morning, all Cameron could talk about was Alexander Duncan, which made Courtney wonder if the man had bribed her into bringing his name into every conversation.

 

Courtney’s mind was finally at ease after she had taken her suitcase and waved Cameron off. She went into the hotel and made her way to the room that had been arranged for her, then swiped the key card to unlock the door.

“Why am I given a suite?” she muttered in surprise. Pulling her suitcase behind her, Courtney headed toward the bedroom. She hadn’t paid much attention to the text message when she first received it, and she had been under the impression that she would be staying in a regular executive room. However, upon her arrival at the door, Courtney had wondered why she was staying on a floor that was designated for suites only.

 

The suite that she stood in now was a spacious one, and a partition ran between the bedroom and the living area. Just as Courtney entered the bedroom with her suitcase, she heard the sound of a door opening, followed by what could only be described as a scene that made her want to jump into a cold shower.

Alexander had emerged from the attached bathroom with only a large, white towel slung low on his hips. His hair was still dripping with water, the droplets running down his sun-kissed chest before disappearing into the groove between the towel and his skin. The sight of him sent Courtney’s thoughts running wild.

“Like what you see?” Alexander teased, regarding her with a wicked grin.

Courtney hastily tore her gaze away from him before snapping, “What are you doing here?”
