Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 168

After Elise said that, she went upstairs. Winter was approaching and it was rather chilly in the room upstairs, so she had to switch on the heater to warm up the room.

The news that Alexander had sustained an injury when he had been in Tissote was well-hidden from the Griffith Family. He returned from Tissote a couple of days after that incident and immediately buried himself in work, so Elise didn’t see him for several days in a row, up until Thursday evening. When she had barely finished her dinner and was about to leave the dining table, she heard the sound of a car coming from outside. Thereafter, the maid announced, “Young Master Alex has returned.”

Upon hearing that, Elise subconsciously slowed down her footsteps as she waited for Alexander to enter the house. Pretending to run into him, she murmured, “You are back.”

The weary look on Alexander’s face was rather obvious as he had been working tirelessly for the upcoming shareholders meeting. However, the moment he saw Elise, he felt as if the fatigue in his body seemed to have dissipated. In the end, he hummed in response. “Have you had your dinner?”

“I’ve just eaten. How about you?”

He hummed again, but the maid chimed in from the side, “Young Master Alex, you didn’t inform us that you would be back for dinner, so we didn’t prepare enough food. I’m afraid you may have to wait for a while.”

Upon hearing that, Alexander replied, “I’ll go upstairs to attend a meeting first, then. Call me when dinner is ready.”

With that, he turned on his heel and walked up the spiral staircase, while the maid hurried into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Upon seeing that, Elise followed the maid to the kitchen. “Stella, let me help you.”

“There’s no need for that, Miss Sinclair. I’ll be fine on my own. Young Master Alex loves noodles, so I’ll make that for him.”

Nevertheless, Elise insisted, “It’s not difficult to whip up some noodles, so let me help you with that. You have been busy for the whole day and you should take some rest.”

Stella initially wanted to reject her kindness, but Elise’s enthusiasm reminded her of

Jonah’s words, so she changed her mind and handed the task to Elise. “Do take your time, Miss Sinclair. Let me know if you need anything.”

In the end, Stella left the kitchen. Thereafter, Elise looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator and took out a tomato and an egg. She then skillfully made a bowl of noodles with just those two ingredients.

As she looked at the tomato and egg noodle that looked wonderful, she felt the corners of her lips etch upward into a sweet smile. In the end, she brought the bowl of noodles upstairs.

Currently, Alexander was in his study. When she walked closer to the door that was left ajar, she heard his voice and learnt that he was having a video conference. As it would be inappropriate to disturb him at that moment, she stood outside until the meeting ended before she knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Alexander’s voice was heard from inside, and Elise pushed the door open to enter the room. “I’ve made you a bowl of noodles. Dig in.”

Alexander was surprised when Elise entered the study with a bowl of noodles, so he quickly rose up to take the bowl from her. However, after a glance at the bowl of noodles, he immediately knew that it wasn’t Stella’s cooking.

“You made this?” he asked and she nodded, feeling astonished by his observance. “Come and try it out. I’m not sure if it has become soggy, though.”

Alexander then used a fork and tasted the noodles. He found that it was quite delicious, so he praised, “It’s tasty. I never expected you to be so good a cook.”

Seeing that he was eating the noodles, Elise murmured, “It’s just ordinary noodles. I’m glad that you like it, though. I shall take my leave if there’s nothing else.”

Alexander hummed in response and Elise exited the study.

The next moment, Alexander was left all alone in the study. Looking at the bowl of noodles, he felt warm inside and the corner of his lips curved upward into a pleasant curvature. Then, he guzzled the noodles and soon finished it.

The portion wasn’t exactly filling, but he considered himself lucky to have an opportunity to taste Elise’s cooking.

The next day was the day the shareholder meeting of the Griffith Group was held. Elise, who had taken leave from school in advance to attend the meeting, woke up and specially changed into a formal attire before heading downstairs.

In the dining hall, Jonah was seated at the main seat, while the other young masters of the Griffith Family were seated at both sides.

“Grandpa, I have other business to attend to, so I won’t be joining the shareholders meeting,” Jack started, and Danny chimed in, “I won’t be going as well. I have to

prepare for the upcoming semester exams.”
