Chapter 161 Eventually They Will Return to You
It was Jamie’s turn to be shocked this time around. “Boss, he didn’t recognize you, did he?”
Elise replied, “No, but I guess we will definitely meet during the competition, but it’s not a big issue.”
After all, in Alexander’s eyes, she already had a new identity as Joy, so she assumed that he would not relate both women as one.
She immediately headed to her room after taking a cab from the airport and checking into the hotel. Spending two hours on the flight had rendered her exhausted, after which she immediately crawled into bed and fell sound asleep after a shower.
Her nap lasted until the evening.
Elise reached out for her phone and unlocked the screen. However, she saw two missed calls from a local number that she was extremely familiar with, which shocked her. My schedule this time is a complete secret. Who would have called me?
However, she did not take it seriously and placed her phone aside. It was at this moment when the doorbell of her room rang.
“Hi, room service,” the voice greeted.
Elise then opened the door and allowed the waiter to push a tray of scrumptious dinner into her room. After that, he elaborated, “Miss Sinclair, Mr. Keller has prepared this dinner for you. Please enjoy this.”
As she looked at the scrumptious food in front of her, she couldn’t help but think, Jamie is such a good assistant since he settles everything nicely for me.
“If you need anything, feel free to call us anytime. See you.”
It was after the waiter exited the room that she walked over to close the door. The room opposite her coincidentally opened at the same time and Alexander’s tall, slender figure entered her line of vision. As they locked eyes with each other, they saw their shock being reflected in the other’s sight.
She was growing slightly anxious by now. What kind of room did Jamie book? Forget the fact that we’re staying in the same hotel, but I can’t believe that our rooms are directly opposite to each other!
“Hi, Mr. Griffith!” Elise greeted with a perfunctory smile. People who knew her well were definitely aware that it was a forced smile.
Alexander slightly frowned. He had never believed that there were such coincidences in the world; not only did they board the same plane, they even booked the same hotel. On top of that, they even stayed in opposite rooms.
It was exceptionally unlikely for such occurrences to happen, but it did in real life nevertheless. “I didn’t expect to meet you again in such a short time.”
His voice was neither slow nor quick and it was void of all emotions. She couldn’t tell whether he was happy or exasperated by the coincidence.
As such, Elise could only bite the bullet and said, “It’s a coincidence indeed.” Then, she added, “Mr. Griffith, you haven’t eaten anything, have you? I have just ordered dinner. Would you like to have some together?”
However, Alexander directly rejected her invitation. He was already used to such obvious tactics and to him, Joy was no different from the other women who wanted to get closer to him. To think that I thought she was quite special! I guess I overestimated her.
“It’s okay. I’m heading out anyway.”
It was just a casual invite from Elise as she didn’t have any intention to have dinner together with him. Hence, she waved and responded, “In that case, goodbye for now, Mr. Griffith.”
With that, she directly closed the door.
Alexander’s gaze slightly darkened, but he didn’t utter another word. After closing his room door, he walked along the corridor to the elevator and took it to head downstairs.
Meanwhile, Elise returned to her room and had dinner before she went out alone.
She immediately hailed a cab to Julius’ pub. Since it was only 9:00PM, there weren’t many customers in the pub. Then, she walked around the main hall before she sat down to order a glass of whiskey, after which she popped Julius a text.
He walked out of his rest area almost immediately. Although he was quite surprised, he had more or less expected it. He had already heard the news in Tissote—it was breaking news that Sue was returning to the industry by participating in the racing competition.
