Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 991

Elise felt helpless as she immediately realized what Owen was trying to do.

Is he trying to be the knight in shining armor who rescues a damsel in distress?

Look at the number of actors he hired to pull this stunt, just so he could be the hero! He spared no expense.

At the same time, the spectating extras swiftly stepped aside when they noticed that the plank was about to fall, clearing a path for Owen.

Elise played along. She pretended to slip and crash to the ground before protecting her head with a look of terror.

As the beam was about to crush her, Owen reached her just in time to shield her from the blow.

Thus, the blazing beam left burns on his arm. Not only was his sleeve singed in the process, but a large patch of his skin was covered in a horrifying wound.

Owen stumbled to the ground as he clasped his injured arm with a look of agony. However, he remained quiet and played the character of a mature, responsible, and trustworthy man to perfection.

"Are you okay?" Elise quickly got up and pretended to be concerned as she checked on him. She also acted as if she finally recognized him. "It's you! What are you doing here, Mr. Morgan?"

"Let's talk later. We need to get out first!" Owen responded with a grim expression.

"Okay."

Elise nodded and helped Owen get back on his feet before heading out.

The corridor which had been stuffed full of people just moments ago was suddenly clear.

Without a doubt, it had to be Owen's doing.

As soon as they came out, Narissa instantly spotted Elise and started waving at her. She was about to call out to Elise when she noticed Owen and clammed up.

Isn't this the handsome man who was hitting on El a while back? How did they run into each other again when it has only been a couple of days? Is it really just a coincidence?

Narissa had an exuberant personality, but it didn't mean that she was obtuse. She could sense that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Elise spotted Narissa as well. She helped Owen over and purposely introduced him. "Narissa, this is Owen Morgan, the one I previously mentioned to you. Mr. Morgan was the one who saved me back there."

"Ohhhhh!" Narissa dragged her exclamation out on purpose before eyeing the two. "So, you're Owen Morgan, huh?"

This is the punk that Alexander was talking about—the one who purposely lured us over.

He looks like such a refined gentleman, though. I can't believe he's capable of hurting anyone.

However, Narissa immediately refuted herself.

You can't judge a book by its cover. There are guys like Zephyr Lorwhal who appear to be outstanding men of great character but are actually scum! This punk's no exception.

"Do you know me?" Owen narrowed his eyes as they flashed warily.

"Nope." Without missing a beat, Narissa passed the buck back to Elise. "Anastasia talked about you a couple of times, so I remembered the name."

Alexander would have a bone to pick with Narissa if he heard what she said.

Owen turned to Elise for verification.

Elise froze for a second before quickly schooling her expression. She pretended to be a little shy and hesitant as if she was feeling mortified that her secret had been exposed.

Owen's eyes flashed. Hah. Alexander Griffith's charm isn't all that captivating after all. His woman's already attracted to me after a single encounter.

At last, Clement and Raymond rushed over.
