One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 136 Burdened by the Greatest Injustice Ever

“The news is not always true. Are you misunderstanding something?” Alexander looked composed as he took the initiative to bring up the news that had been creating a buzz since last night.

Courtney glanced at him. Despite the dissatisfaction in her heart, she did her best to maintain a calm expression. “Since the news written by reporters might not always be true, I certainly would like to hear about what that incident is all about. Don’t you dare tell me that you coincidentally met her at the airport, and then just so happened to get photographed by a reporter during that time?”

“Of course not.” He frowned slightly for some reason. “I did not conceal from you the fact that Britney was the one to contact the doctor in Germany. When I brought Jordan to Germany, she happened to be shooting a commercial in Germany too. That’s how we met. As for being secretly photographed by a reporter on our way back… Josh is dealing with it. It will soon be removed from the trending posts.”

He explained the situation clearly and concisely in several sentences.

She nearly fell for it. If not for what Cameron had told her last night, she would definitely have been frustrated with herself for being so petty and not trusting him over something so trivial. She took a deep breath; her eyes were as cold as frost. “Are you done?”

“You… don’t believe me?” His eyebrows furrowed. He believed that he had made it clear enough. Throughout his 30 years in life, he had never spent so much effort to explain himself over such a trivial matter.

“I believe you. Of course, I will believe whatever you say.” She glanced at him. Then, she lifted her wrist and pointed at her watch. “If you’re done, you should leave, President Duncan. My personal time is almost over. In another five minutes, it will be my working time.”

Looking at the indifference in her eyes, he felt a little strange. He fell silent for a moment and saw that her attitude remained firm. He said, “Courtney Hunter, I do not like playing mind games with women.”

“I don’t like it either.”

The questions and answers occurred practically instantaneously. Thus, the atmosphere that was already tense in the first place seemed to freeze at that moment. A long while later, a loud sound rang out—it was the sound of the office door slamming against the wall. Looking at Alexander’s back as he left, Courtney slowly tightened her fingers and grasped the edges of the table. Didn’t you go to such lengths to cause such a huge fuss just to make me angry about your ambiguous relationship with another woman? Well, I’ll do as you wish then.
