Chapter 57
In order to make it for the boot camp, Elise worked overtime every night just to get all of Alexander‘s documents translated. Fortunately, she managed to get her job done on the day just before the boot camp. After sending Alexander the documents he needed, she finally heaved a sigh of relief as she walked out of her room and headed downstairs. Then, she coincidentally ran into Alexander, who happened to come back from somewhere else as both of their gazes met.
“You‘re back.” Elise greeted the man.
At the same time, Alexander took off his blazer and put it aside, gazing at her while casually asking, “I heard you‘re going for Mathematics Olympiad Boot Camp tomorrow, right?”
Having told Jonah about the boot camp earlier, Elise wasn’t surprised that Alexander knew about the matter. “Yeah, I‘ll set out the next morning and be away for half a month.”
“I‘ll take you there tomorrow then.”
“Sure.” Elise nodded and gave an affirmative reply. Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com
The next morning, Elise left her room right after she finished packing her belongings just when she saw Alexander already waiting for her at the door. Meanwhile, the man came closer to her and held her luggage the moment he saw her. “Let me take that.”
Elise obediently handed her luggage over to the man, whereupon both of them descended down the stairs. Then, Alexander placed the lady‘s luggage into the car trunk while the latter entered the vehicle.
“Where is the boot camp?”
In response to that, Elise reached for her phone and searched for the location before Alexander hit on the gas pedal and drove off.
While Mathematics Olympiad Boot Camp was a closed session that was held in the school, Alexander didn‘t leave right away after taking Elise there. Instead, he held her luggage and walked her to the female dormitory. On their way there, Alexander’s good looks inevitably turned many heads until both of them arrived at the dorm. It was then that Elise said, “Alright, I‘ll have my luggage back. I can take care of myself from here.”
As Alexander handed the luggage over to Elise, he went on to nag at her. “Focus on your boot camp, but if there is anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.”
“Okay. Okay, I heard you. You can go now.” Elise obediently nodded her head.
Alexander had his eyes glued to Elise until she entered the female dormitory, but as soon as he turned around to walk away, he quickly found himself surrounded by a number of girls. “Hello, Mr. Handsome. Do you mind giving me your number?”
“Yes, I do.” Alexander turned the girls down outright and strode away from them. In the meantime, the girls, although unhappy with the man’s cold rejection, couldn’t resist his charm, as they would die to be his girlfriend.
On the other hand, Elise proceeded to approach the dorm keeper upon arrival and learned that her room was 503. Then, she went to her room and saw someone making her bed. Thus, she made the first move and greeted the lady. “Hi!”
Meanwhile, Amanda fixed her gaze on Elise’s face, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain. After that, she sized Elise up and judged her for being poor from her simple outfit, showing no interest in entertaining her.
Nonetheless, Elise only shrugged her shoulders in response before she opened up her luggage and took her belongings out of it, ready to make her own bed. At that moment, the door was open once again, whereupon another girl came into view. While she appeared to be in a fancy outfit, Amanda reckoned the former must be from a wealthy family. Therefore, she enthusiastically flattered the girl and said, “Hi, nice to meet you. Welcome to our hostel! I‘m your roommate, Amanda Hudson, and I can’t wait to see what excitement our future has in store for us.”
Samantha took a glimpse of those tidbits and turned Amanda down. “I‘m sorry, but I‘m trying to slim down recently, so I‘m staying off tidbits. Thanks for offering! Anyway, my mom told me to bring along some fruits, so let me share some of them with you.” She then got up and reached for the fruits she had, grabbing two boxes of pineberries before giving each of them to Amanda and Elise. “These are for you both.”
Upon hearing Elise’s words, Amanda thought she had never seen pineberries before and ironically mocked her for that. “Pineberries are rare and expensive, and I doubt you’ve ever tried them before. You could’ve been honest with us instead of saying you don’t like them because we’re not going to laugh at you for that.”
“You‘re too humble, Samantha. Everyone who came for this boot camp is not to be taken lightly.” Amanda ingratiated herself with Samantha.
