Chapter 132 I’d Like to Give You a Present
It was the height of summer in Melrose City and a rare breeze was blowing outside even though the sun had set.
In her five inch heels, Courtney walked into the hotel lobby. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she caught sight of a familiar MPV parked at the entrance. An impeccably dressed Alexander got out of the car, fastening the buttons on his suit.
She was about to step forward when she saw another familiar figure getting out after him.
Despite dressing in a low-key manner, her simple white T-shirt and black skinny jeans couldn’t conceal the star’s stunning figure. Not to mention, the black baseball cap and huge sunglasses that she had on was simply accentuating her identity.
Courtney’s steps halted. She quietly retraced her steps and went to stand in the corridor at the corner of the elevator, keeping an eye on the two figures at the hotel entrance. They looked like a lovely young couple but they began to blur into two dark silhouettes as anger clouded Courtney’s vision.
Britney was adjusting Alexander’s collar and he didn’t seem to be resisting her advances. From her corner, Courtney couldn’t see any changes in Alexander’s expression and she couldn’t hear what he was saying either. Eventually, Britney got back into the car. A tiny head peeked out and Britney rubbed it ‘gently’.
Upon seeing that, Courtney clenched her fists.
This is the important matter that Alexander was referring to?
She gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but imagine their conversation.
“Your tie is crooked.”
“There’s too many people here. Get in the car first; my assistant will send you back.”
“Okay.”
“Take care of Jordan.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him.”
