Chapter 367 Are You Scared

Alexander realized that Courtney was cold and indifferent toward him for the past two days.

Initially, he didn’t take Gale’s phone call to heart, but judging from her behavior lately, it seemed like there was some sense in what he said.

Before getting off work, Josh was called to the office by Alexander.

“President Duncan, you were looking for me?”

Alexander studied him.

“Are you married?”

Josh froze, and his face turned pale. “N-No.”

“Then, have you ever dated anyone?”

“No…” Josh broke into a cold sweat. Looking at the profound gaze Alexander was giving him, he instantly panicked and lifted three fingers on his right hand.

 

“President Duncan, I came to work for you at Sunhill Enterprise as soon as I graduated. Back then, I promised you that I would not consider marriage before I turned thirty-five, so I won’t break my promise. I swear I really didn’t get married.”

Alexander was momentarily stunned. “You made such a promise before?”

Josh froze.

“You… don’t remember?”

Alexander frowned. “Why would I want you to promise me something like that?”

Josh looked shocked, and even a bit sad.

After he graduated, he returned to Melrose City to work in Sunhill Group with Alexander, and he dedicated his whole heart to working there. Later on, for a period of time, Alexander reckoned the internal strife was too complicated, and he knew that Josh’s family was arranging blind dates for him, so Alexander suggested for him to find another way out.

At that time, he was young and vigorous, so he said, “I won’t leave Sunhill, and I won’t consider marriage until I’m thirty-five years old. If I break my promise, I’ll return all these years of salary.” Alexander only allowed him to stay after he gave such guarantees.

He had worked so hard all these years, yet Alexander had forgotten it all!

It made Josh rather angry. When he got married two years ago, he didn’t even have a banquet, but had secretly invited his relatives to have a meal in his house instead. Because of this, he never won when he quarreled with his wife; he had suffered a lot of grievances for this matter.

“There was such a thing?” Alexander asked after Josh remained silent for a long time.
