Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601 What Gives You the Cheek To Fancy Her?

“How noisy,” Elise said, lifting her phone up impatiently to check the time. “You’ve got two minutes left—not too late if you guys run away right now.”

Speaking in a calm and imperturbable voice, she had an unpredictable aura around her.

The leader of the ruffians let out a disdainful sneer. “That’s my line, you little girl! It’s you who should be running away. Judging from how you look, I reckon you’re a student at Tissote University. I have the most respect for cultured people, so I’ll give you a chance to turn back. Hurry and go back to school, or it’s gonna be too late.”

Elise was unfazed, though. Her gaze rested upon Sheldon, who was wrestled to the ground, before she turned to the unconscious Elliot. The next instant, a piercing gleam flickered in her eyes as she peered at the ruffians’ leader and asked snappishly, “Who beat him unconscious?”

“I did.” An infuriated ruffian moved a step forward arrogantly. He said in a filthy language, “So? What are you gonna do, you f*cking b*tch? Wanna have a fight with me too?”

“Geez,” his leader interjected with a drawl just then. He said meaningfully, “How many times have I told you guys to be gentle when speaking to ladies? Why wouldn’t you remember that? Don’t you want to take a wife anymore?” Then, he turned to Elise and asked maliciously, “Say, little girl, what about I set you up with a date or something?”

“Sure.” Elise happened to be buying time. As her fingers interlaced, she replied with amused interest, “Let me say this first: I want a faithful lover who’s capable of protecting me. Also, he better have a bit of brains.”

“Sure! He’ll be absolutely faithful to you!” The leader turned around and put his hand on the shoulder of the ruffian who had just spoken offensively to Elise. Pulling the ruffian to the front, he beat his chest and guaranteed, “This is Devan, who’s been one of my men for a few years now. Not only can he easily fight three men on his own, but he’s also good at being a snob. I guarantee you that it won’t put you at a disadvantage to be his woman.”

Listening to the leader’s words, Devan unconsciously held his head up and puffed out his chest, as if he really thought of himself as a decent lover who was extremely hard to come by.

“Bah!” Just then, Sheldon hauled himself to his feet with his hands on the ground for support. “What gives you the cheek to fancy her?!” He didn’t know much about how outstanding Alexander was, but he knew that the man chosen by Elise herself mustn’t be inferior. These guys can’t even hold a candle to my brother. What gives them the right to lust after Boss?!

“What did you say?! You haven’t been beaten enough, have you?”

“F*ck you, you son of a b*tch! How dare you look down on us!”

Enraged, the gang of ruffians turned around and raised their clubs at Sheldon again.

“Enough!” Elise hurriedly said in an effort to silence Sheldon. “Shut up, Sheldon!” They share the last name Keller and are blood brothers, but while Jamie is so smart, why is Sheldon so dense? Can’t he tell that I’m trying to divert their attention?

Sheldon was stunned right away. Is Boss really gonna sacrifice herself for us?! I’m so touched! “No!” He gazed affectionately at Elise with tears in his eyes. Then, as if he was ready to sacrifice himself, he said, “Boss, you’re the one who should run away! I’ll always remember our friendship in my heart. From now on, you, Elise Sinclair, are my one and only boss!”

Elise was rendered speechless by Sheldon’s response. No, that’s totally unnecessary.

Meanwhile, one of the ruffians was sharp enough to catch the key piece of information. “Boss, he just called this woman Elise Sinclair!”

At once, the man leading the gang of ruffians looked at Elise with murderous eyes. “You’re Elise Sinclair?”

Elise raised an eyebrow while feeling somewhat helpless. Oh, Sheldon! I came to save you, but you blew my cover. Could it be that you’re actually in league with these guys? She let out a sigh before saying nonchalantly, “Yeah, I am. So?”
