One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 231 Remove Him From His Position as President

After being angered by Gale, Courtney returned to the office to work an extra night shift. The next morning, she was still tired when Elijah invited her out for breakfast. At half-past seven in the morning, the breakfast stall was not yet at its rush hour. Still, when the time came, no one sat there leisurely eating their food like Elijah and Courtney.

Taking in her washed-up appearance, Elijah placed a peeled egg on the small plate in front of her. “Why are you so tired? Didn’t sleep well last night?”

“I didn’t sleep.” Courtney gave a dismissive wave of her hand, then yawned. “I slept for a while at five in the morning, but the office environment is too shabby, and the sofa isn’t comfortable. I was already awake before you called me.”

“You have to take your time while starting a business. Don’t overexert yourself from the beginning,” Elijah advised earnestly, having experienced it himself.

However, Courtney didn’t appreciate his comments. “Oh, give me a break. When I was a cleaner at your company five years ago, I saw you work overtime all the time, or rather, I rarely saw you not working overtime. The lights in the boss’s office stayed on all night. At that time, we all thought you might be a robot.”

“Robots need to be recharged too.” Elijah laughed, not minding the mention of the past. “Besides, you’ve seen a living negative example, haven’t you? After all the hard work, the company still suffered a shortage of funds, and we almost went bankrupt. If you didn’t save me in time, I’m afraid I would be sleeping in a subway station in America now.”

“Then, America must be harboring many talents.” Courtney sipped on her soy milk. Despite being in a bad mood, she still had the strength to joke around. “How about we go there and see if we can dig up a few hidden talents?”

“If you’re still capable of cracking jokes, it means that your morale isn’t totally wrecked yet.” Elijah studied her, then gave her a warm smile. “Aren’t you going to ask me why I called you out so early in the morning?”

“Why did you?” Courtney asked lazily, not concealing her perfunctory behavior.

Elijah didn’t mind it, so he carried on lightly, “I think that you should spend more time with Cameron during this period. After all, in a couple of days, she’s going to America with me. It won’t be as easy for you to see her then as it is now.”

“What?” Courtney was shocked. “You’re bringing Cameron to America? Who agreed to this?”
