One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Don’t You Have Anything to Say?

Alexander had just exited the washroom when a cold breeze blew from the balcony. He sneezed twice consecutively while feeling a chill at the back of his neck. I answered a phone call from my family’s butler, Mr. Harry. He was nagging me over the phone for quite some time and urged me to return to the Duncans’ ancestral home to make peace with Grandpa. Mr. Harry has been giving me the same speech every other day. In fact, he has been rather loquacious lately. I respect him as an elderly in the Duncan Residence, which is why I listen when he nags. However, I have yet to return home even once.

“President Duncan.”

Alexander barely took a couple steps forward when a figure blocked his way. She was wearing a bright yellow, knee-length dress; her hair was tied in a bun and there was a silver, crown-shaped hairpin inserted into her brown hair. As far as my tastes are concerned, I find her rather childish. I wouldn’t usually notice such details, but Courtney has a similar hairpin, which is why I’ve noticed it. Besides, the clothes that Courtney pairs with the hairpin look so much more elegant than whatever the girl standing in front of me is wearing. “Can I help you?” he asked.

“President Duncan, you couldn’t possibly have forgotten me, can you?” The girl, who was wearing the bright yellow evening gown, stared at him unblinkingly. She looked like she was controlling her temper when he did not seem to recognize her.

“Should I remember you?”

“I am Kelly, Anna’s cousin sister.”

Alexander wore an indifferent expression while giving her a once-over. I have a vague impression of her. It is not much of an impression and it’s not even a good one. I believe I ran into her the day I arrived at the Hunter Group to assume my position. It happened that she was embarrassing Courtney. He frowned slightly and repeated his initial question. “How may I help you?”

Kelly’s cheeks flushed red, but she could not lose her temper. “Well, of course I have something to discuss with you—it is about Courtney. I think you’ll be very interested in this, President Duncan.”

He arrogantly glanced at her. “I do not feel like I need to listen to somebody else about Courtney.”
