One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 307

Chapter 307 He Lied

“You need to stop drinking.”

Courtney grabbed the flask of alcohol and placed it aside. When she tried to pay the bill after that, she was even stopped by Leon who’d insisted on paying with his card.

“I have to do this… I can’t let a woman pay…”

Courtney felt both troubled and amused. She had the waiter help Leon into the car before she personally drove him back to his hotel.

Glancing at the red-faced young man through the rearview mirror, who was leaning against the back seat groggily and still rambling on under his breath, Courtney shook her head.

“My goodness, you really can’t hold your liquor, can you? You didn’t even drink that much.”

Leon hugged the cushion on the back seat and mumbled, “I promise… I won’t drink anymore… Kirsten…”

Courtney let out another sigh.

A short while later, the car came to a stop in front of the hotel. A few lobby attendants helped take Leon upstairs while Courtney took his room card from the pocket of his jacket and opened the door.

 

“Just put him on the bed.” Courtney turned on the lights and instructed the attendants on where to put him down. Then, she walked around the room and pulled the curtains together before turning on the air conditioner to 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Before she left, she even put a glass of warm water by his bed.

The entertainment industry was a complicated place that was filled with people from all walks of life. No one knew for sure how their lives were before fame.

What Leon told her was indeed a little twisted; it sounded as if life was simply playing tricks on him. However, it wasn’t completely unbelievable either. After all, why would anyone make up such a story for no reason?
