Chapter 370
Feeling Insecure,Coolest Girl in Town
News about the collaboration between Nathan and Alexander resembled a bomb that suddenly exploded in Tissote’s business world, creating huge ripples. The companies that previously had been taking a wait-and-see approach instantly acquired a large number of the Griffith Group’s shares. While the outside world was in turmoil, the presidential suite in the penthouse was completely unaffected. When Elise and Alexander entered the room, Nathan was seen sipping wine on the couch with his legs crossed. “Have a seat.” Holding a tall wine glass with his slender hand, he pointed at the couch beside with his other hand. Currently, his whole demeanor seemed somewhat unfathomable.
A hint of impatience flashed across Elise’s eyes. The older he is, the more pretentious he becomes, she thought to herself. If it weren’t for Alexander’s presence at the moment, she would have walked up to Nathan and given him a good smack on his head to help him to clear his head. Alexander had long heard about Nathan’s reputation. As they both were capable people, they exchanged a simple glance and treated each other politely. “Where’s A now?” Nathan got straight to the point and asked. “You meant the long-lost Stocks Master?”
Alexander had heard about the classic collaboration between Nathan and A years ago and was aware that the two of them were close. However, he gently shook his head. “I’m sorry to tell you that we don’t interact with A much.” Only then did Alexander understand why Nathan had specially requested to meet them—the latter seemed to have mistaken their relationship with A. Upon hearing that, Nathan nodded without replying, but his gaze was inadvertently attracted to Elise. He found the girl rather special. When facing a tycoon of the business world, not only did she not show any admiration or respect, but what piqued his curiosity was the fact that she seemed to treat him as though he was invisible.
At the moment, she was completely unfazed by him. Upon noticing his gaze, Alexander subconsciously wrapped Elise’s hand in his. “This is my fiancée, Elise Sinclair.” He introduced her to Nathan in such a way that it was rather obvious what he meant. Nathan was stunned to hear that, but he then let out a soft chuckle. “I didn’t expect the renowned President Griffith to feel so insecure in front of your girlfriend.” Alexander cocked his head to one side, responding with a sense of humor as he murmured, “Well, I can’t help it when my girlfriend is so popular.” Upon hearing that, Nathan nodded.
“The two of you have such a close relationship. Keep it up.” Seeing that the two of them hadn’t been able to get to the point after so long, Elise decided to do so herself. “Hey.” She suddenly peered at Nathan and muttered impolitely, “If you have the time, do hang around more with the bunch of fools from the Olson Family Clan. Don’t shut yourself in the room all the time. You are making yourself seem like a damsel who doesn’t leave the house!” Nathan was taken aback by what she said. It had been so long since anyone had dared to speak to him in such a manner. A damsel?
Standing at six feet two, I can be categorized as a sensual man even when compared with the foreigners. Yet, I’m akin to a shy damsel to her? Such poor eyesight she has! Alexander was equally shocked by Elise’s rude attitude, so he quickly explained, “I’m sorry. My fiancée is quite the maverick and often has surprising ideas. She doesn’t bear you any ill will.” Nathan glanced at Alexander then at Elise, feeling totally stupefied. A had contacted him online and had asked him to try his best to cooperate with the two of them. And so, he had thought that it wasn’t a stretch for Alexander to know A with his capabilities.
However, now that Nathan thought about it, a person like Elise seemed to be more to A’s liking. “I’m not that petty.” Nathan waved his hand. “A friend of A is also a friend of mine. Rest assured, I’ll announce my investment in the Griffith Group’s stocks. Olson Pharmaceuticals will be the least of your worries by then.” Just as Alexander opened his mouth in an attempt to thank Nathan, Elise, who was beside him, abruptly stood up. “I asked you to get in touch with the Olson Family Clan. How hard is it for you to understand that?” At that instant, both Nathan and Alexander were puzzled. “Girl, do you know what will happen if I get in touch with them?” Nathan patiently asked with a frown.
