Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 786

Chapter 786 Everything Is Under Control

With that, Narissa left the office in disappointment.

Elise let out a sigh. This girl is always so impatient; she needs more training in the future!

Knock, knock!

Seeing that Elise’s helper had left, the female colleague was even bolder as she knocked arrogantly on the desk. “Don’t forget about my document. If you make any mistakes, both of us will suffer.”

Elise lifted the corners of her lips, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Don’t worry. Everything is under control.”

The female colleague thought those words were odd. She gave Elise a questioning look, but in the end, she didn’t say anything as she left quietly. Nevertheless, the other colleagues saw that she succeeded, so they all followed in her footsteps, going to Elise every so often for help.

Elise smiled instead of getting angry as she accepted all the extra tasks. When it was time to get off work, she waited until everyone left before leisurely packing up her things and walking out of the office.

As for those data reports, she didn’t take any of them along with her.

At the same time, in a VIP room at Renown Restaurant in Tissote. The members of the Jewelry Association were seated at a table. Celina and Matthew were late, so they walked right over to the two empty seats and sat down.

“Sorry, there was a traffic jam, so I came late. I’ll drink as a penalty.” Celina raised a glass and downed all the wine in the glass. Then, she smiled as she chatted with the other members. “I hope you’ll support me and vote for me to be a member of the association. When the deed is done, I’ll definitely thank all of you profusely.”

She had just finished speaking when a veteran with white hair seated right opposite her began to mock her.

“I’ve been in the business field for so many years, but Miss Saunders, you’re the first host I’ve encountered who was late for a whole hour. The Jewelry Association isn’t some lowly club, so how can a person without proper time management ever hope to join us?”

With that, the elder got up and fastened the last button on his suit. He looked around at the crowd, then gave a generous speech. “My wish is that everyone would understand that the Jewelry Association exists to maintain order in the market and to ensure the stability of economic trade. We hold the responsibility and obligation to stop people from using the association as a tool for power. I’ll voice my opinion first. I disagree with Saunders Corporation’s desire to be a member of the association!”

With that, he pulled back his chair and walked toward the entrance.

As soon as the elder opened the door of the VIP room, Matthew’s voice rang out. “Take one step out of that door, and you’ll never see your cute grandchildren again.”

The elder paused in his tracks, turning around in fear. “W-What did you do to them?! I thought you were only greedy people, but I never thought that you’d blind your conscience with greed and cause harm to mere children! You’re despicable!”

Matthew leisurely took a sip of the wine in the glass. He smacked his lips, then slowly cocked his head and met the elder’s gaze. “You flatter me. All businesspeople have a cunning trick or two. We’re just doing what a profiteer is supposed to do. If you’re done with your reprimands, you can go back to your seat. Don’t challenge my limits.”

The elder gripped the door handle tightly, gritting his teeth so strongly that sounds were heard. Sometime later, between his principles and his family, he finally chose the latter and quietly sat back in his seat.

“I knew you’d be understanding people.” Celina smiled gleefully. “Now, is anyone else against the idea?”

With the elder as an example, the others were busy protecting themselves, so no one stood up. They lowered their heads, wishing for their own safety. The VIP room was silent.

“Good.” Celina picked up the glass, which was already refilled with wine, and turned around. “Then cheers to our future cooperation. If anyone goes back on their word, they’ll have to drink this wine in hell!”

She raised her voice and immediately turned the glass over. The wine in the glass splashed on the table, the bright red liquid especially striking against the white backdrop of the tablecloth. It announced a voiceless threat.
