“The Sakura Group wouldn’t take such a risk to do this kind of thing in their own warehouse.”Alexander’s voice was firm. “The annual profit of an airline company far exceeds selling these things. Ifit really has something to do with them, it must be the actions of someone under them.”

“Are you saying that someone is using their warehouse to smuggle drugs?” Courtney frowned evenharder. “This is crazy!”

“You said just now that the driver went to the wrong warehouse,” Oliver suddenly interrupted them. “Isthis his first time?”

Courtney was startled for a moment. “I think so.”

“I still need to take this back for examination. Maybe it isn’t what you think it is.” Oliver put away thepaper on the coffee table. “If it really is, they wouldn’t do it so openly and they didn’t even ask someoneto guide the driver even though it’s his first time. It’s too risky for them.”

This really is strange.

Courtney and Bill thought about it in the warehouse but they weren’t sure if it was the real thing, so theydidn’t dare to follow the driver and see what the shipment really was.

They discussed it for a while but they couldn’t come up with any answers. After Bill left, Oliver said thathe had classes the next morning, so he went back to sleep in the school. Suddenly, the apartmentbecame deserted.

Courtney took away the cups on the coffee table and just as she was about to clean them, Alexandersaid to her, “I’ll do it.”

With that, the beige rubber gloves in her hands went to him.

With someone helping her, she didn’t refuse and she leaned on the marble table instead. Courtneythen started to play with her phone while casually talking with Alexander.

“It seems like Oliver is about to take his final exam in the next two days, so he’s always away fromhome. Suddenly, the whole place feels pretty lonely to me.”

Listening to her, Alexander stopped washing the cups. He looked at her and asked, “You want theplace to be more lively?”

“Yes.” Courtney nodded absently and answered simply, “Who doesn’t like a lively place? A home iswarm when it’s lively.”

Alexander nodded, seemingly lost in his own thoughts. “We can have a few more children after we getmarried.”

Then, he kept on washing the cups.

Courtney was busy playing with her phone but upon hearing his words, she was stunned and she eventhough she had heard him wrongly. Her hands were still swiping on the phone screen instinctively asshe asked, “What did you just say?”

After washing the cups, Alexander placed them upside down on the rack to dry. Taking off the rubbergloves, he repeated, “I’m asking you if you like a lively place.”

“I do,” she replied to him, feeling slightly confused.

Why does this question feel familiar to me? I’m sure that I answered him just now.

She was too invested in the game so basically, she was answering Alexander’s questions instinctively.The moment his words went into her left ear, it immediately came out the other end.

Alexander had already cleaned up everything so he gently pinched her cheeks with his cool fingers.Lowering his head, he planted a kiss on her forehead and murmured, “It’s late. Time to go to sleep.”

Courtney’s face couldn’t help but flush as she followed him from behind to her room.

In her mind, she somehow felt that she had heard him mention something about marriage just now.

“Alright; I understand. All’s good as the shipment is fine.”

Deep in the valley, the voice speaking into the phone was particularly clear on the balcony of a three-story villa.

After hanging up, James went back to the room. Britney had just come out from her bath and she wasnow sitting on the dressing table, applying a mud mask on her face.

“Who called?” she asked simply.

“It’s none of your business.” James stared at her tender neck while feeling restless inside. “You onlyneed to know that I’ve decided to follow your plan to deal with that thorn in your side.”

“Have you thought about it?” She turned around and looked at him in surprise.

“Yes; I’ve thought about it and you’re right. Courtney has Alexander helping her from behind the scenesand she isn’t that stupid. The possibility of defeating her with ordinary means is too low, so I’m nowforced to use extreme measures.”

“What do you plan to do?” Britney seemed to be worried, so she asked, “Why don’t I—”

“I know what you mean. I’ve already arranged everything.” James cut her off and he seemed to bereally confident about it. “Isn’t the plan to separate her and Alexander? How hard is it to deal with arelationship between a man and a woman?”

In the night, James’ tone was a little more menacing. His belittling attitude toward women was a bitdisgusting to Britney but in front of him, she didn’t even furrow her brows in the slightest. Instead, sherevealed a smile and agreed with him.

The next day, everyone was discussing the matter about the brand spokesperson at the morning

The director of the advertisement department gave Courtney a long list of names. “In this list, we’veranked all the celebrities based on cost-effectiveness, popularity, reliability and image suitability. Thetop three are basically the same but they have some small advantages and disadvantages respectively.President Hunter, the final decision is in your hands.”

“We’ll follow the list. Didn’t you already rank all of them? We’ll just go with the first one.” She glanced atit and yawned.

To be honest, she wasn’t familiar with the current celebrities. If Shay didn’t tag along with Casey to Balifor a holiday, she didn’t even think that they needed a spokesperson because she felt that Shay wouldbe the most reliable.

The main product of the Hunter Group was tourism products. Lucian first started a travel company withonly one bus during the early years. With the bus, he started a tourism company, which later developedinto the tourism enterprise today.

Three days later, Natasha dragged Courtney to the shooting scene to have a look around; truth was, asleepy Courtney was reluctant to come. “Natasha, this is the advertisement department’s business;we’ll just leave it to them. Why do you have to drag me here?”

“Your work requires you to do this. You have to know what kind of a person our company’sspokesperson is, right? Otherwise, there’ll be problems when we realize that the advertisement is notsuitable for our company.”

“When did you start paying attention to these trivial things?” Courtney glanced at her. “Are you tellingthe truth?”

Hearing that, Natasha pursed her lips awkwardly. “The spokesperson that the advertisementdepartment chose this time is a mixed-race male model. He is handsome and is internationally famous,so my colleagues asked me to get two signed photographs.”

“Is he really that handsome?” Courtney muttered and she disagreed. “I’m not interested in the younghunks that have made their debut recently. Their looks are fine but they are not as good as my…”

“Not as good as who?” Natasha pressed but Courtney shut her mouth and refused to say a thing.“They are not as good as your boyfriend, right?” Natasha finished for her. “You’re right. No one cancompare to Mr. Duncan. A few years ago, the cold and handsome type was all the rage but his typehas become less popular recently.”

“Is that so?” Courtney felt that her beauty standards were different from the current trend, so sheenquired, “Then what is popular recently?”

“It’s either puppies or wolves.”
