Chapter 91 Inexplicable Jealousy
Elise grumbled, “Yeah, because I had to wait for you. The nerve of you to mock me.”
Alexander chuckled. “So this is my fault?”
Elise shot him a glare. “Of course it is!”
Alexander quickly stopped her from talking by filling her lunchbox up with more food. “Thanks for the wait. Have some more.”
Elise ignored him and only put her cutlery down after finishing her dinner.
At this moment, Alexander’s phone rang. It was his alarm, actually. Since it was Wednesday, it was time for his Arisian class with Sare. “Um, I might be home late. I have something to do. I’ll get the driver to take you home if you want.”
“It’s fine, just go ahead. I’ll go home by myself.”
“Be careful then. Call me if you need anything.” He went back to his desk, booted up his PC, and tried to contact Sare.
Elise’s phone started beeping, and she took her phone out. When she saw his message, she realized it was time for her class, so she glanced at him and kept her phone. “I’ll be going home now.” She got up. “See you later.”
“Sure.” Then, he called his employee. “Tell the driver to send Elise home.”
“Thanks.” She went out of the office and texted Alexander, ‘Class is delayed by half an hour tonight. Talk to you later.’
Alexander gave her an OK emoji and closed his laptop, then went through his documents.
Right after she arrived home, she went to her room, closed the door, and booted her PC up. It had been a while since Alexander started learning Arisian from her. He was a fast learner and managed to grasp a lot of the concepts with just a few pointers.
The class went by in a flash. Just when she was about to go offline, he texted, ‘They sent me an email. I need your help with it.’
Elise texted, ‘Send it to my email.’
A minute later, Elise got a new email. She logged into her account and skimmed through it before telling him its gist. ‘They said the first phase went well. They’re planning on sending a rep to Athesea next week to talk about the second phase and its plans.’
Alexander didn’t reply immediately. In fact, he was taking his own sweet time, but she wasn’t in a hurry. Elise stretched her arm and went downstairs to get herself a glass of milk. When she came out of the kitchen, she bumped into Jack, who just came back. Jack wasn’t looking too well and seemed tired. He seldom came back home because of his work, but he had been coming home a lot over the last couple of days.
“Still up?” he asked.
“I was thirsty, so I came out to get some milk.”
Jack went upstairs without saying another word. After he was gone, she remembered the song he wrote, and she rummaged through her pocket. Oh, it’s still there. Then, she went upstairs and glanced at Alexander’s reply.
