One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 205 Never Smiled That Brightly at Me Before

Courtney swallowed and looked at the man in front of her as he fed her porridge. Then, she awkwardly said, “Uh… I think the president of the company at the time really was you.”

“No need to beat around the bush. It has always been me.” Alexander stuffed the last mouthful of fish porridge into her mouth. Clang! The spoon clattered against the walls of the porcelain bowl. He placed the bowl by the bedside and wiped his hands slowly.

“However, the person in charge of the clothing brand was not me.” He glanced at Bill and continued in a cold voice, “Didn’t you eavesdrop on my phone call this afternoon? Why are you still doubting me? Or, could it be that you just refuse to accept the truth?”

Bill trembled with anger. “That was caused by the conflict between the senior executives of the company! It’s really disgusting how you treat us designers as sacrificial pawns to shield yourselves from harm!”

“If that’s what you think, then there’s nothing more for me to say.” Alexander glanced at Bill as he crumpled the tissue in his hands into a ball. The white ball-like object traversed in a smooth arc through the air and accurately landed into the trash can at the foot of the bed. If it wasn’t for Courtney. I wouldn’t have bothered about such trivial matters from the past, let alone the messy business James left behind.

“You know, I believe that this is all just a misunderstanding.” Courtney looked at the two men. “It’s not fair for Sunhill Enterprise to indiscriminately frame the employees of its subsidiaries back then. Those actions could easily ruin a person’s future.”

Bill vehemently agreed on this point.

“But… even if Sunhill Enterprise’s actions were wrong, you cannot blame somebody else for that without understanding the truth behind the incident, Mr. Dawson. How is that any different from what the senior executives at Sunhill Enterprise did back then?”

Upon hearing those words, his tanned face paled considerably.

To be honest, she had seen through his feelings from the way he carefully and stutteringly explained his side of the story. He probably knew that he had wrongly accused Alexander and was regretting his actions.

Unfortunately, he could not set aside his pride and admit that he was wrong. “Why don’t everybody shake hands and make peace for my sake? Mr. Dawson, I’ve eaten the fish porridge you gave me. It was delicious. Let’s just take that as your apology for accidentally scalding me. I won’t be paying you for it, okay?”

but Bill couldn’t bring himself to smile. On the other hand, the expression on Alexander’s face was so cold that he resembled an iceberg sitting there. Nobody responded to her joke, and the atmosphere became even more awkward
