One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 454

Chapter 454 Success Rate of 99%

Before the end of the workday, Eric marched into Alexander’s office with a printed stack of documents and a resolute expression on his face.

“These are the collective ideas of the various departments, President Duncan. Many of our younger employees provided summaries of the plans they used to get back their ex. I chose three of the proposals with success rates of 99%.”

Reading through the thick stack of proposals, Alexander nodded thoughtfully. “Implement these, then. The materials we require…”

“I will have them readied beforehand,” Eric answered immediately.

Somewhat speechlessly, Courtney opened the refrigerator to confirm that there was nothing left to make for dinner before deciding to go on a shopping run by herself. “I’m leaving now.”

“Okay, Mommy. Be safe!” Although the response came quicker this time, it was dismissive and its speakers never took their eyes off the television.

Upon hearing that, Courtney could only sigh resignedly. It was rare that she got to come home early from work, yet her children were busy with their own activities and acting like they didn’t need her. How frustrating life was!
