One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 161 She Is Probably His Ex-Girlfriend

After Alexander returned from the restroom, he did not see Courtney in the lounge area. Moreover, the front desk had just changed shifts. When he asked them about her whereabouts, nobody had seen her.

“Maybe she went back on her own since it’s so late.” Vivian naturally hugged Alexander’s arm, practically pressing her entire body against his arm. Her eyes were still slightly red as she said in a stifled voice, “Alex, I’m tired. Can you send me back?”

The front desk was just behind them. Several receptionists watched the scene before them and revealed stunned expressions. What is with this intimate posture? What’s going on? Isn’t President Duncan in a relationship with Miss Hunter? Why is he so close with the president of SG Eastern Branch?

Alexander absentmindedly glanced at the entrance of the hotel. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Even if it was something urgent, Courtney isn’t the type of person to leave without telling me anything. However, Vivian seemed to be very drunk. She leaned against his shoulder and closed her eyes without moving. Frowning, he had no choice but to call his driver to send her back home for now.

In the living room of a three-story villa at Westpark, Vivian grabbed Alexander by the arm and stopped him. She raised her head to look at him with a drunk expression, her words slurring as she said, “Alex, about what I mentioned before… you don’t need to rush to answer me. I can wait.”

Alexander was about to leave, but he paused and lowered his head to look at the person on the sofa. Without hesitating, he pushed her arm away. “You’re drunk, Mikayla.”

“I’m not drunk.” She was reluctant to let go, wrapping both arms around his waist. Her voice sounded like she was about to cry. “Alex, I’m scared… Won’t you stay with me?”

Despite allowing her to hug him, his gaze became cold and distant. “I called your brother. He will come and accompany you.”

Upon hearing those words, the arms hugging him instantly stiffened. Then, she retracted her arms after a moment. Sitting on the sofa with her head hanging low, although her curled bangs blocked out most of her expression, her disappointment was as clear as day. He frowned slightly at the sight.

A long while later, Vivian suddenly looked up and complained resentfully, “Alex, you’re terrible! I was only joking with you! Even if you don’t want to accompany me, you don’t need to tell my brother! If my brother comes, he will know that I was drinking. He’s going to scold me again!”
