Chapter 245,Coolest Girl in Town
“What are you talking about, Alexander? Wouldn’t it be inconvenient for you and Elise to meet up after she moves out?” “Yeah, that’s right! Elise is engaged to you, so she’s part of our family. She’ll be staying with us sooner or later, anyway.” However, Alexander didn’t bat an eye. He replied flatly, “I’m just respecting her decision.” Elise’s heart instantly sank when she heard this, but she put on a calm face without revealing any emotion.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her. She was the one who said she would be moving out, and he agreed to that at last, but she became even more upset instead… “Well then, go on with your breakfast. I’m going upstairs to pack up my stuff,” she said. With that, she went upstairs, leaving everyone else to look at each other in puzzlement. Jack said, “Something’s amiss! Did you guys notice that something was wrong with Elise’s mood today?”
Upon hearing Jack’s words, Brendan pondered for a moment and then turned to look at Alexander. “I noticed that too. Besides, Elise has been going out early and coming back at night lately. Is she hiding something from us?” Everyone fell silent at his words, whereas Alexander’s piercing eyes darkened bit by bit. Elise didn’t have many belongings, so she only packed them in a simple suitcase. As she dragged her suitcase downstairs, Danny immediately trotted up to her to help her. “Let me help you with that, Boss,” he said while taking the suitcase from her. However, instead of going downstairs, he stood still and continued, “Are you really leaving, Boss?
I’ll miss you very much.” Elise comforted him, saying, “I’m just moving out. It’s not like we’re not gonna meet again. If you wanna play games with me, just text me on WhatsApp. I’ll play with you if I’m free.” Danny pouted his lips before he replied despondently, “Alright, Boss.” Just then, Alexander came over to them. “Just put the suitcase in the trunk. I’ll drive her there.” Danny still wanted to say something, but when he saw how unyielding Alexander was, he could only hold back the words on the tip of his tongue and obediently put the suitcase in the trunk.
“Let’s go,” Alexander said before going out first. Elise followed Alexander closely, though neither of them spoke on their way to her apartment. When they arrived at Bollinger Gardens, Elise unbuckled her seat belt, saying, “We’ve arrived. Just drop me here.” To her surprise, Alexander didn’t say a word in reply. Instead, he merely opened the car door, got out of the car, and picked up her suitcase. He asked, “Which block are you staying in?” Elise pointed at a building nearby. “Over there in Unit 1002, Block 3B.” Alexander then dragged the suitcase toward Block 3B.
At the sight of the scene, Elise hurriedly caught up to him. “Actually, you don’t have to escort me there. I can move into my apartment on my own.” Alexander raised an eyebrow slightly. Seeing that the elevator had arrived, he motioned for Elise to go in first. As the elevator door closed, he slowly said, “You can move into your apartment on your own, but it’s my duty and responsibility as your fiancé to safely escort you to your destination.” Silenced by his words at once, Elise replied, “Oh, okay,” without saying anything else. The elevator slowly went up until it stopped on the tenth floor.
After the couple walked out of the elevator, Elise hurriedly took out her keys and opened the door to her apartment. The apartment was a fully-furnished 3-bedroom unit, and she had made a special effort to buy it along with the furniture and electrical appliances back then. Therefore, it was very convenient for her to move in with only her belongings. Alexander put her suitcase in the bedroom before surveying the apartment.
He asked, “When did you buy this apartment?” “Before coming to the Griffith Residence,” answered Elise. “Uh-huh,” Alexander uttered. “This place is nice. Still, it’s a bit dangerous for you to live alone as a lady.” Elise replied, “It’s okay. I have it figured out. I’ll buy a pair of men’s slippers and put them at the door tomorrow. Also, I’ll hang some men’s clothes to dry so no one would think that I’m living alone.” Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly. “Well, you’re quite thoughtful, but don’t you have any alternative?” Elise subconsciously asked, “Isn’t this good enough?”
Alexander looked around and inspected the balcony and the bathroom window. After making sure that everything was alright, he said, “I’ve got something to do at my office, so I’ll be going there first. Be careful while you stay here alone.” Elise nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry. I know that.” However, she became downcast at once after Alexander left. Staring at the spacious and empty apartment, she felt a void inside her. Meanwhile, Alexander didn’t leave after the apartment door was closed. Instead, he glanced at Unit 1001 next door and pressed the doorbell without the slightest hesitation.
