Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Elise was so concentrated on solving the problems that she did not notice Alexander’s exploring gaze. After she

completed one question, the scrap paper was already full of workings. Elise stretched while a deep voice

emerged from beside. “Good job. You‘ve used the correct method and formula. Continue with the next question. This question is less challenging than the previous one.”

Elise hummed in response and continued solving the questions with high spirits. As time passed, Elise became

so tired that she dozed off on the study table.

The dim light shone on her ugly face, but at this moment, Alexander thought Elise didn’t look that bad at all. He even thought she looked rather gentle.

Standing up, he then carried Elise and laid her gently on the bed. Upon being put on the bed, Elise flipped over

and slept like a log after adjusting to a comfortable posture.

The next morning, Elise woke up to see sunlight shining through the window. She flipped over and sat up from the bed. It was only then did she realize she was still wearing the school uniform from yesterday. After being in a daze for a while, she recalled that she dozed off at the study table last night.

How did I get to the bed? She thought of a possibility but quickly patted her head ruefully and got out of her bed swiftly to dress up in the changing room.

Fortunately, her makeup still looked fine and her wig did not come off. Elise checked her appearance in the mirror again and only went downstairs with her school bag after ensuring that everything looked fine.

The car was already awaiting her at the gate. Elise quickly opened the door and got into the car. It was only then

did she realize the driver was actually Alexander. At once, Elise’s mind ran wild as she thought of last night’s

scene. Feeling embarrassed, she pretended to be unaffected and sat quietly at the backseat.

Alexander started the car engine and drove out slowly. On the way, no one spoke a word. Elise had never felt so awkward before as she could even sense the suppressed atmosphere. Inwardly, Elise kept praying that she

would arrive at the school as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the school, Elise couldn’t wait to open the car door before the car even stopped properly.

However, the door was locked from the inside.

“Please unlock the door, Elise said. However, at this moment, Alexander passed her a book. “What is this?” Elise wore a perplexed look.

Alexander explained, “It’s Math Olympiad past-year questions. You might find it helpful.”

“Oh, I don’t need this.” Without thinking, Elise rejected immediately. However, Alexander didn’t even give her the chance to reject as he insisted, “I never take back things that I’ve given out. If you don’t need it, you can throw.it

away.”

As much as Alexander’s tone was indifferent, Elise still perceived his displeasure. Oh well, anyone would be

displeased upon being rejected.

Elise did not want to provoke Alexander again, so she took the book from him and said, “Alright then. Thank you!”

Alexander’s expression became less tense after Elise received the practice book. After humming in response, he unlocked the door and Elise got out of the car.

“Thank you. Drive safe.” Elise waved at Alexander.

This time around, Alexander did not leave immediately but watched Elise enter the campus and waited until she

disappeared from his sight. It was only then did he retract his gaze and drive away.

Elise walked through the corridor toward her classroom. Holding the practice book from Alexander, she couldn’t

understand what his intention was. Eventually, she decided to stop thinking about it.

Meanwhile, Jasmine’s eyes darkened when she saw the intimacy between Mikayla and Elise. Initially, Elise, the ugly girl, was not well received among her classmates, and Jasmine had always looked down upon her. However, it turned out that Elise was very capable to the extent that even Jasmine was defeated.
