One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 309

Chapter 309 He Can’t Change His Picky Ways

Courtney stood outside by the office door for a while. At last, she picked up a blanket from the couch and draped it over Alexander.

“Courtney…” Alexander opened his eyes. They were only half-open, still hazy with sleep. Upon seeing Courtney though, he sat up and glanced at his watch. “Why are you so early? You didn’t sleep well last night?”

Courtney nodded. “Yeah, I had too much to eat and got a stomach ache.”

Alexander pulled her hand over and placed it within his palm, frowning. “Your hand is so cold. You haven’t dressed warmly enough,” he said.

“It’s fine; we have heaters at work.”

“But it’s cold outside.” Suddenly, Alexander thought of something, and he let go of Courtney’s hand, bending over to dig out a hot pack from the drawer of his desk. After pressing the button on the hot pack, he shoved it into Courtney’s arms.

“Here, hold this. It’ll heat up in a bit.”

The hot pack heated up gradually after Courtney held it for a while. She scrutinized the cartoon character on its exterior before she asked out of curiosity, “Did you buy this?”

Alexander looked composed. “It’s a gift from my secretary. She said that it’s a Christmas gift for Jordan.”

 

When Jordan and Tina came to their workplace to play some time ago, an intern was in charge of showing them around. She was a girl in her early twenties, just fresh out of university. She was later retained to work as Alexander’s secretary.

At that, Courtney’s expression turned meaningful. “Don’t tell me that you can’t tell why a young lady would do that?” A Christmas gift for Jordan? More like she’s trying to get in Alexander’s good books. The secretary could ask Alexander if Jordan liked the hot pack that she had gifted, and if Jordan did, she could also give the boy hats, scarves, or gloves.
