Chapter 273 A Taste of Their Own Medicine,Coolest Girl in Town
As soon as she spoke, she heard the sound of footsteps fading away. “Stop. Who are you? Hurry up and open the door…” Janice ignored her. Not only did she not open the door for her, she even locked the door of the entire restroom. Elise quickly took out her phone but found that the phone signal was weak. She wanted to make a call but couldn’t. All she could do was sit on the toilet and calm herself down. Forget it. I didn’t really want to participate in the rehearsal anyway. It’s not a bad thing to be locked up here. She took out her exercise book containing Professor Merlin’s question then began to solve it again.
When Janice went back to the conference room, no one noticed anything unusual. After a while, someone suddenly said, “Since we’re almost familiar with the script, we should try rehearsing it.” “I think so too.” “By the way, where’s the female lead? Where did she go?” Everyone began to look for Elise in the conference room, but they didn’t manage to find her. At this moment, someone said, “Elise went to the restroom. She’ll be back in a moment.” Then, Janice immediately spoke up. “Elise said that she’s not feeling well. She has already asked me for the day off and will not be joining rehearsal today.
Let’s not worry about her first. We can go back and rest after we’ve roughly rehearsed.” Upon hearing this, everyone began to rehearse without any objections. Meanwhile, in the restroom, Elise had buried herself in the question and was completely immersed in it. Minutes passed and night came, but Elise wasn’t aware of it. She found that although she was trapped in the restroom, her inspiration was flowing like a water fountain. She couldn’t stop, and when she finished writing the steps to solve the problem on several pages, she finally got the answer.
Elise stopped and looked at the time, only to find that it was already 11:00PM. Her stomach was growling from hunger. She also found it strange that hours had passed, yet not a single student had come to the restroom. Elise tried her phone again, and this time, her call finally got through. She heard Alexander’s voice coming from the other end of the phone. “Hello, Elise?” Half an hour later, Alexander hurried over and rescued Elise. At this moment, he didn’t look to be in a good mood, but he patiently asked, “What happened?” Elise pursed her lips and answered, “I don’t know who did it, but someone locked me in.”
Before she finished her story, Alexander interrupted her, “Then, why didn’t you call me earlier?” Elise immediately replied, “At that time, I was just thinking of completing this question, so I delayed a little.” It was only then that Alexander noticed the book in her hand, which was densely filled with handwritten mathematical symbols, then he sighed helplessly. “You were in such a situation, yet you were still in the mood to solve a math question.
Just how strong willed are you?” Not wanting to talk about this anymore, Elise looked pitifully at him. “I’m so hungry. Shall we go have dinner?” Alexander helplessly reached out and rubbed her head. “Let’s go! I’ll bring you somewhere for a good meal.” It was nearing 12:00AM, so the school’s cafeteria was closed. In the end, Alexander called a restaurant to have their meals prepared and delivered to the school. Holding her meal box, Elise sat on the long porch of the school pavilion and ate huge spoonfuls of her food, looking completely unladylike. “Eat slowly.
No one’s going to steal your food.” Elise chuckled sheepishly. “I’m hungry…” Having said that, she still slowed down the pace. Seeing that she was almost done with her food, Alexander continued, “Now, can you tell me what’s going on?” Elise already had her suspicions, but she wasn’t sure of her own guess, so she said, “I’ll handle this matter. I think one of my classmates accidentally locked me from the outside.” However, Alexander’s brows furrowed tightly. “Are you sure it was an accident?” Elise murmured assent and explained, “Without conclusive evidence, I can only assume that she did it ‘on accident’.
But, I’ll get to the bottom of this. Whoever it is, I’ll give them a taste of their own medicine.” Seeing as she had said this, Alexander let out a helpless sigh. “As your fiancé and your future husband, it’s quite troubling to not be needed by you sometimes.” Elise stopped what she was doing and immediately said, “I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just a small matter, so I can handle it. Besides, who said I don’t need you! I need you more than anyone else.”
