Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 662

Chapter 662 The Next QH

“Does Elise know about this?” Brendan asked, voicing the only question in his mind.

Alexander shook his head. “I wanted to see how you’ll react first.”

“First, it’s Elise who has a secret identity. Now, you’re revealing yourself as some other man. Just what are you two doing?” Jack sighed. Why couldn’t life be simpler?

Speaking of identities, Jack had found out who Craig Baker was. That man was just some uneducated fool. No one knew how he fooled Winona into liking him. He was enjoying life in the laps of several wealthy women while ensuring Winona kept working for him. It was rather impressive just how much of a scoundrel he was.

“I remember how furious you were when you found out about Elise’s alter-ego,” Brendan said, analyzing the situation from a neutral standpoint.

“That is the issue.” Even Alexander knew he was faced with a situation that he could hardly escape unscathed.

“If I were Elise, I’d divorce you right now,” said Melody as she walked over, heels clacking from a distance.

Alexander glanced at her but said nothing when he heard that.

Melody was the only woman in his think tank. That meant her train of thought was the most similar to Elise’s, which made it the scariest to him.

Johnny was astonished at how glum Alexander looked. Never once had he so much as frowned when dealing with challenging projects. Now, this handsome black-haired man was a wretched ball of nerves because of Elise.

“I think you can try and talk your way out of this by appealing to logic,” suggested Johnny.

“You think women can be reasoned with?” Jack dramatically protested.

“Who said women can’t be reasoned with?” Melody became unhappy when she heard Jack’s comment.

She was a pragmatic and logical woman. Anyway, Alexander was in the wrong. Not only did he hide his identity, but he also used the name Kenneth Bailey to test Elise. That was a wrong move in so many ways.

Even if he were her boss, she would not be helping him.

“So, appealing to logic means I’ll lose Elise?” Alexander tiredly asked.

The room went silent since that might actually happen.

Alexander let out a long sigh as he planted his hands firmly on his hips. Then, as his eyes flickered around the place, he spotted Clement standing not far away.

For some reason, Alexander decided to raise his voice and asked Clement, “What do you think?”

When Clement heard that, it was as if he was a robot that someone had just turned on. “I don’t know, Mr. Griffith,” he innocently replied with a blank face.

Alexander looked back down at the floor after he heard that.

Truthfully, Clement wasn’t good at anything but being a bodyguard. At this point, Alexander was panicking and searching for solutions from, frankly, terrible sources.

“Forget it,” Alexander said as he waved his hand. “You guys can go. Let me think about this alone.”

Everyone scattered immediately.

Clement had also planned on leaving, but he had only just turned away when he decided to turn back around and walk over to Alexander. “Sir, try being sincere,” he earnestly said.

“Sincere?” Alexander was confused.

“Yes.” Clement nodded. “While I didn’t like Mrs. Griffith in the beginning, these few months have told me that she truly loves you and wishes the best for you. So, I’ve accepted her. The key is to let her know that, just like her, you care for her more than you care for yourself.”

Clement bowed and left after he gave Alexander his opinion.

Alexander just stood there for a long while, utterly lost in his thoughts.

After a few days of imitating QH’s calligraphy, Tiana finally grasped some semblance of their style.

As she stared at the study room full of practice paper, she began to subconsciously brainwash herself into thinking that the handwriting found on those papers was hers.

Beautiful penmanship flowed as smoothly as a river with decisive strokes etched into it.
