One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 145 Do You Think I’ll Let You Go?

The servant nodded with a vexed expression.

“Miss Hunter, the guestroom is musty and the air is not ventilated. Mr. Scott has arranged for you to sleep in Mr. Alexander’s room, and he will be sleeping in the guestroom. Please rest well. You can call me if anything happens.”

As soon as the words were said, the servant ran away at once.

Courtney was clueless. There was no way she could run after the servant now because the mansion was huge. If she wasn’t paying attention, she might have lost her way in the courtyard. It was already dark outside, so she would not be able to find her way back. Now that she was already here, it would be better for her to stay.

Similar to the rustic mansion, Alexander’s room was very old-fashioned too. The furniture was all made of Chinese rosewood, and the room faced south. It was separated into two rooms at the entrance. The study seemed to be located on the east side. From the half-open door, Courtney could see a desk that was facing the door. A writing brush hung over the desk, and there was rice paper spread across the desk.

He still practices calligraphy? Courtney was surprised by the discovery. Pushing the door open, she headed into the study.

The paperweight pressed the properly-cut rice paper firmly on the desk. After taking a closer look at the contents on the paper, Courtney couldn’t help but giggle as she propped herself against the corner of the desk.

The two cursive words ‘Extremely Boring’ were written on the paper.

The study exuded a serious vibe, and the man that owned this room was meticulous. Who would have thought that a man like him would write something like that on paper?

As a result, Courtney got interested in what she saw. Staring at the paper balls inside the trash can beside the desk, she squatted down and took them out.

One was written with ‘This is so annoying’; one was written with ‘The weather is bad’; and another one was written with ‘I have to get up early tomorrow’.

After studying the series of nonsensical calligraphy ‘masterpieces’, Courtney was so overjoyed that she failed to notice Alexander’s arrival.

“What are you laughing at?” asked Alexander as he came in.

“You wrote these?” Courtney’s face was flushed from holding back her laughter.

Looking at the ‘masterpieces’, his face turned ashen. With a sullen face, he said, “Is it your habit to go through the trash can?”

“I don’t have a habit of going through the trash can. But, now that I’ve seen your masterpieces, I might want to consider picking up this habit in the future.”
