Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Alexander escorted Elise into the car before he instructed the driver to immediately drive off. Meanwhile, she glanced at their closely intertwined fingers and instinctively tried to withdraw her hand.

While the car slowly departed, neither of them said a word. There was a somber vibe that enveloped them, which continued until the car pulled into the driveway of the Griffith Residence. She finally broke the silence and said, “Thanks for standing up for me earlier. Just let me know if you need my help for any company matters in the

future.”

Elise thought, If he loses this collaboration because of me, then I have to compensate him for his loss. However, it never crossed Alexander’s mind to turn to a woman for help, so he rejected her outright. “You should go home,” was what he replied instead.

She was aware that he needed to maintain his pride and it was also a male’s basic dignity to resist, so she didn’t say another word. Rather, she turned around to enter the house.

Elise still didn’t feel at ease with things after she entered the house, so she gave Jamie a call. “Hey, Jamie. If you notice that the Griffith Group is in need of some help, be sure to lend them a hand, but do it secretly so that no one realizes that you are helping them.”

Upon hearing her words, a stunned Jamie gaped. “Boss, do you have a wrong impression of Alexander? He’s well-known to be a formidable opponent in the corporate world. How else do you think the Griffith Group was able to maintain its position as the leading company in town? He doesn’t need any help from small flies like us. You should stop worrying, Boss. It’s just a minor contract that’s nothing to Griffith Group. It won’t result in any significant loss for them.”

She was finally rest assured when she heard his words. That’s right. Alexander’s such a formidable person so obviously, he wouldn’t care too much about this minor contract.

Nonetheless, she was determined not to allow Eureka Corporation to get away with this lightly. However, before she could even mention anything, he had already made his move.

“He messed with the wrong person! He’s going to pay for that,” Jamie said as his fingers whizzed furiously on the keyboard.

Shortly after that, he came up with a list containing the details of all the Eureka Corporation’s business partners and thereafter sent the information to the company’s opponents. How dare they mess with Elise! I’m definitely going to make their life a living hell.

“Miss Sinclair, it’s time to wake up. I’ve prepared breakfast for you.” The servant woke Elise up at the exact time. Meanwhile, she stretched while her eyes remained half-opened. “Okay, sure. I’ll come downstairs in a short while.”

Despite her words, she curled into another comfortable position and fell into a deep sleep once again. She was wide awake most of the night as she couldn’t seem to shake off Mr. Ford’s sleazy expression from her mind. After tossing and turning for hours, she finally managed to sleep for the rest of the night, but it didn’t last long as she had to wake up earlier for school.

Elise shuffled around and took her time to get out of bed. After she freshened up and applied some light makeup, she wore her custom-made wig and made her way downstairs. At that moment, she noticed that Matthew was already seated at the dining table as he slowly savored his breakfast. “Good morning.”

She greeted him and received a grunt in reply. Then, he responded, “Good morning.”

After that, she took a seat at the dining table and asked, “Are you the one sending me to school today?”

“Yup.” Matthew placed his cutleries aside while he spoke and lifted his wrist to check the time. “You have five more minutes. I’ll wait for you by the door.”

Then, he rose to his full height and headed toward the door after saying that. Meanwhile, Elise hastily took a few large bites of her toast and grabbed a bottle of milk before she scrambled after him.

While he waited in the car and held an iPad in his hand, he dealt with some work related matters. He was someone with a different personality to Danny, who always behaved in a rather impulsive manner as an immature second-generation wealthy kid. On the other hand, Matthew was calm and steady in all his endeavors while being a generally quiet person who didn’t have much to say. Each time he sent her to school, he would only converse with her whenever necessary and he basically didn’t interact much with her.
