Chapter 286 You’re Pushing Your Luck Too Far,Coolest Girl in Town
Elise walked out of the hotel and saw Alexander standing beside the car from a distance. From the way his back figure looked, he seemed cold and lonely. As she approached, she made a heartless joke about him. “How does it feel to have someone throwing themself at you, Mr. Griffith?” Alexander didn’t respond, and merely stood there until Elise approached. Then, he turned sideways and promptly opened the car door for her. Seeing that, Elise paused and looked up, only to find that Alexander’s face expression was not a pleasant one. She admitted that she had overlooked that Alexander was a decent gentleman, and it was biased to distinguish who took advantage of who according to his condition.
And so, Elise sorted out her expression to try her best to look serious, then she apologized seriously. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.” Alexander stiffened his face, retracted the hand that held the car door open, and raised his chin arrogantly, as if trying to get back at her. Elise didn’t know whether to laugh or weep. Who is the man here? It was just a small accident—did he get pissed at me just like that? As Elise stared at Alexander’s stringent face, her stand gradually became less firm. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to provoke Janice; otherwise, Alexander would not have encountered such an unfortunate matter. Less than a minute after the silent war on the side of the road, Elise raised her feet and stepped forward.
She then tipped her toes and hooked her arms around Alexander’s neck to bring herself close to his face before she landed a peck on the corner of his mouth lightly. “Still angry now?” Alexander couldn’t help raising the corners of his mouth, and there was a smile in his eyes—it was sweet and warm, as if he didn’t mind being taken advantage of. When Elise saw this, her face turned hot immediately. As she was about to back away, Alexander coiled his arm around her waist, and they were once again facing each other. His dark eyes seemed to contain the entire starry sky—they were immensely deep and romantic.
“That’s not enough,” Alexander said with his deep voice. After he finished speaking, he leaned forward. Their lips touched, and at this point, they were inseparable. It wasn’t until their breaths became a little rugged that Alexander reluctantly let go of Elise. Elise felt a sense of dizziness, but after regaining her senses, she realized that she was still trapped in Alexander’s arms. Immediately, she clenched her fist in anger and punched his chest twice. “You’re pushing your luck!” The corner of Alexander’s mouth raised into a doting arc, and he deliberately used his strength to close their distance. “I prefer to call it the demonstration of love. You know, the body doesn’t lie; you didn’t push me away just now, which proves that you and I love each other deeply.
Am I wrong?” Elise bit her lower lip, whereupon the redness on her face extended to the back of her ear instantly. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to him. Under the moonlight, Elise’s shy and astringent face was particularly radiant, and Alexander’s heart was on the verge of beating out of his chest as he mumbled, “This waiting game is too hard.” He couldn’t wait to marry this woman. He couldn’t wait to be more intimate with her, to bring her closer to his body… He wanted to be the closest person to Elise. “What?” Elise didn’t hear him, so she raised her head to ask him what he said, but their bodies collided unintentionally because of this.
When she felt a foreign object on his body pressing against her, she pushed him away with force and subconsciously took a few steps back to put some distance between them. Alexander also realized that he had lost his cool, so he lowered his head to clear his throat. “G-Get in the car. It’s late—you should go back and rest early.” “Yeah.” Elise nodded vigorously, then got into the backseat swiftly and closed the door with a bang. Along the way, neither of them exchanged words, but they did make eye contact through the rearview mirror from time to time.
Alexander sent Elise to the door of the room and watched her close the door before finally turning around to wait for the elevator. Honestly, he himself didn’t realize that such a trivial and boring thing would make him keep his sweet smile for so long. … The next day, Alexander took Elise to participate in the project bidding meeting. Once they win the bid, it would mean all the similar projects in the whole of Athesea would be led by Griffith Group. When it was Alexander’s turn to bid for the project, there was a commotion in the admission area as someone was trying to cut the cue, but the bidding continued.
