Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 954

Chapter 954 Trash Should Stay Where It Belongs

It looks like this lady is starting to show me her backbone. This is bad. “Well, you have a point there, but you should know how highly your uncle thinks of me. I can’t say no to him if he wants me to take over the company and run it, can’t I?”

Gale tried to regain Narissa’s trust and talk his way out. He was trying to create an illusion in which the situation was so desperate that he was forced to accept the offer because there wasn’t any other choice.

“As long as it’s fair and square, I have no objection to it,” Narissa expressed her opinion. “I knew you would stand by my side.” Gale sounded satisfied with the lady’s answer.

“You and I go way back, and I’d hate having to doubt your intention behind every move you make, so please don’t let me down.” Narissa chose to believe their years of friendship. Though she had not forgotten about Jamie’s warning, she knew how ambitious Gale was.

However, she justified Gale’s ambitiousness by deeming it a common quality every businessman possessed. After all, even her wealthy father was smart enough to count on her marriage to consolidate his power and status. Therefore, she didn’t think there’d be anything wrong as long as Gale played his game fairly.

“Of course. When have I ever let you down?” Gale promised Narissa to behave himself with a smile. Then, he changed the subject and asked, “By the way, are you coming with me to the office? Or would you like me to take you home first?”

“There’s no need for that.” Narissa wanted to be left alone. “Please attend to whatever business you need to take care of. I’ll just stroll around this place by myself.”

“Alright then, stay safe.”

…

Meanwhile, Elise was busying herself in the kitchen at Griffith Manor. When she heard the doorbell, she went straight to answer the door with her apron on before she was greeted by a flower bouquet right in front of her.

“Greetings, ma’am. Here are the flowers that you ordered. Please sign your name right here.” As soon as she made sense of what was going on, she signed her name with the delivery man’s help and took the flowers inside just when Alexander came downstairs.

Thinking the flowers were from Alexander, Elise took a sniff and reacted with a satisfied look on her face. “Oh, come on, dear. You didn’t have to spend your money on all this fancy stuff. We’ve been married for so long that you and I are way past that, after all.” Despite her words, Elise couldn’t hide the smile on her face; no matter what age, any woman’s heart would melt at the sight of such beautiful flowers.

On the other hand, Alexander was seen with his mouth wide agape, but just when he was about to explain, a silhouette walked past him. “I ordered the flowers. I’m sorry, Elise.” Danny seemed helpless as he took the flowers from Elise’s hands.

“No worries.” Elise pursed her lips. “It seems like a beautiful mistake.”

“Daddy, ever since I was born, I don’t think I’ve seen you give Mommy flowers before.” Irvin stood upstairs and pulled his parents’ leg. “But I guess there is no harm done if I don’t compare you guys to anyone.”

Elise laughed it off and stood up for Alexander. “Your daddy used to give me flowers pretty often, so don’t judge his love for me.”

“I see. It seems like Daddy just decided he could leave you aside after he won your heart over.”

“Damn it, you brat! Can’t you just shut your mouth up?!” Alexander gritted his teeth angrily.

“You don’t care much about your wife, and now you’re trying to stop me from exposing you? Where is your sense of honor?”

Haha! Every word from this boy stings. No wonder he is Alexander’s son. “It looks like you’ve gotten yourself a challenge.” Elise smiled at Alexander.
