Chapter 109,Coolest Girl in Town

After years and years of being solitary at work, Alexander had gotten used to dealing with all theharshest matters on his own. He had never known what it felt like to have someone quietly supportinghim by his side. Yet, he could sense a special sort of warmth coming from Elise right then.

He parted his lips and grinned before he knocked Elise’s table gently. “Wake up. You can sleep whenwe’re home.” In a daze, Elise opened her eyes and turned to see Alexander standing behind her. Shewas startled—every last ounce of sleepiness left her body as she sat upright in her seat.

“What are you doing here, Alexander?” He pointed at the clock hanging on the wall. “Why don’t youtake a look at the time? You should go home to get some rest.” She gazed at the clock to see that itwas already 11.00PM, so she quickly shut her laptop. “I’ll go home now.” “Let’s go together,” he utteredwith a smile. When both of them got into the elevator, Elise couldn’t stop herself from asking him aquestion.

“President Griffith, the company isn’t in a good state. The loss of clients and the departure of staffmembers both have a huge impact on the business. If this goes on, Griffith Group might…” Shecouldn’t bring herself to continue speaking, but she knew that he would understand what she meant.Initially, she thought that she would sound like she was bad-mouthing the company by saying suchwords during such a critical period.

She had assumed that Alexander would get mad at her, yet there wasn’t a hint of frustration in his face.“Don’t you have any faith in me?” he asked in return. She shot him a questioning gaze. When heremained silent, she found herself getting nervous. What does he mean when he says that? Does hehave a plan already? “Can you make your message clearer, Alexander? Stop making me guess what’sin your mind,” she mumbled. He chuckled softly. This was the first time Elise had ever seen him smile,and she found herself mesmerized by his laugh.

Right then, Alexander reached his hand toward her. He paused in the middle of the air for a secondbefore he stroked her hair. “Don’t worry. Nothing bad is going to happen to the company. You shouldn’ttrouble yourself with these matters. Go home and get a good rest. Perhaps everything will be differentonce you wake up tomorrow.” Elise felt oddly secure upon feeling the warmth of his palm. She didn’tbother to further analyze the meaning behind his words.

The next morning, Elise woke up just before noon. She dazedly reached for her phone and checkedthe clock before she sat upright in her bed. “It’s already so late? Why didn’t anyone wake me up?” shecried. After a quick shower and a change of clothes, she hurried down the stairs. The maid hurried toElise when she saw her coming downstairs. “I’ve already prepared lunch for you, Miss Elise. You cancome to the dining hall now.”

Elise wasn’t in the mood to eat at all. “Why didn’t you wake me up this morning, Stella? I’m late now!”Stella hastily explained herself. “It was Young Master Alex who told me not to wake you up, Miss Elise.He said you worked too hard last night and would need more rest today. He told us not to disturb you.”“So, Alexander was the one who told you not to wake me up.” Elise was dumbfounded. Stella nodded,and Elise found her thoughts running all over the place.

However, she couldn’t be bothered to think about all of that then. “How’s Griffith Group doing today?Are the shares still crashing?” she asked. Stella had no idea about the state of the stock market, andElise had no interest in having a meal. Elise hurried out of the house and used her phone to search fornews related to the company. However, when she finally found some articles, she realized thateverything had changed entirely for Griffith Group.

That morning, Griffith Group announced a new partnership with one of the largest businesses in theentire nation. When the stock market opened at 10.00 in the morning, the Griffith Group’s shares wentup in value. Everything seemed extremely promising, so Elise was rather taken aback. How did all ofthis change in just one night? I need to know the truth. She hurried over to the office, and she realizedthat the gloomy, dejected atmosphere in the company had completely disappeared.

There were two unfamiliar faces waiting at the front desk, but they both greeted her the moment shestepped in. “Good morning, Miss Sinclair!” Elise gave them a polite nod before she went into theelevator. When she got to the highest floor, the large office area appeared to have returned to its usual,bustling self. She felt her insides calming down when she saw this scene. Cameron popped up behindher right then. “Miss Sinclair!”

She quickly returned to her senses. “Cameron.” “You’re surprised, aren’t you?” Cameron asked. Elisenodded, and Cameron continued on with a proud expression on his face. “Well, you shouldn’t forgetwho’s sitting in that office. Our President Griffith’s business management skills are recognized on anational level. All we have to do is put our trust in him.” Cameron’s words made Elise think about whatAlexander had told her the night before. Her smile widened at the thought. “Everyone shares the samewish—we all hope for the company to pull through and survive.

I look forward to Griffith Group’s growth.” At that moment, the door to the president’s office was flungopen, and Alexander walked out from inside. He cleared his throat when he saw Elise standing nearby.“President Griffith!” Cameron quickly greeted him. Elise turned to look at him, and he spoke once theylocked eyes. “Thank you for your hard work in the past few days. Let me send you back to school.” Shequickly rejected his offer.

“It’s fine. I can go there on my own. You must have a lot of other things to handle in the office, so youshould go ahead and finish your work! Also, I need to hand my work over to the new colleagues beforeI leave.” “I’ll help Miss Sinclair with that, President Griffith,” Cameron said with a smile. Both Cameronand Elise went over to Elise’s seat. After arranging all of the documents and handing it over, Elise gotready to leave the office.

To her surprise, she found Alexander standing in front of her the moment she looked up. “I-Is anythingthe matter, Alexander?” He raised an arm to look at his watch. “It’s lunchtime. Let’s go for a meal,” heuttered boldly. She was about to reject him, but her belly began to rumble the moment she heard him

talk about lunch. Only then did she realize how hungry she was after she skipped breakfast earlier.“Okay.

Since you’re offering to buy me a meal, I’ll have to treat myself to some good food!” “Let’s go, then,” hereplied. They headed to a private restaurant that only had a few guests. It was a quiet place, and theowner seemed really close to Alexander. She greeted him in a casual tone when he first arrived.“You’re here, Alex.”

“Same old, Patricia,” he uttered in response. “I got it,” Patricia replied with a light chuckle. However, hergaze lingered on Elise. Patricia was a smart woman, so she headed off to the kitchen without sayingmuch.
