Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 11

Elise was momentarily dazzled by Jonah's smile as it reminded her of Robin. In an instant, her angercooled. “Alexander asked me to help him dispose of his clothes, but Danny got the wrong ideaabout it.” Danny's face showed a look of disbelief when he heard this. “Is what she said true,Alexander?” Alexander didn't explicitly tell her to throw the suit jacket away, but he had tacitlyconsented to her doing so when he said the suit jacket would be at her disposal. Therefore, heanswered, “Yeah.” Jonah said in relief, “Ah, so it really is a misunderstanding. Apologize to Elise now,you brat!” Danny knew he had been in the wrong, but he was still unwilling to accept it, and his eyesturned red with resentment. “What are you waiting for? Apologize,” Jonah urged. Danny clenchedhis fists and uttered between clenched teeth, “I'm sorry.” Elise stared at him. She did nothing wrong,but for some reason, she felt as if she did. Feeling somewhat guilty, she faltered, “Uh... I-It'snothing.” “Please get along well with each other from now on. I'm looking forward to Elisebecoming the Griffith Family's daughter-in-law,” Jonah said while looking at Elise earnestly. Elise’sface fell when she heard this. Get along well? I'm afraid that's impossible! ...... The Griffith Residencewas huge, so there were many cleaners cleaning it early in the morning. Danny yawned as he wentdownstairs in a daze. Just then, he heard one of the cleaners saying, “Please be careful, YoungMaster Danny. The floor has just been mopped, so it's a bit slippery.” “Okay.” Danny scratched hishead and walked a few steps before turning around. He asked in an obedient demeanor, “Madam,could you please bring me a bucket of water?” The madam soon fetched a bucket of water forDanny, only to be shocked when she saw Danny pouring it down the stairs. He even said, “Don’tclean the stairs for now. Do it after breakfast.” As Danny loved playing pranks more than anythingelse, the madam didn't dare to ask any questions and agreed without hesitation. Elise is the only oneupstairs, so there's no need to worry that someone else will slip on the wet stairs. At the thought ofthis, Danny burst into a guffaw; he could hardly restrain himself upon imagining what Elise wouldlook like after falling down the stairs. ...... Elise was about to go downstairs when she ran intoAlexander, who politely stepped aside and let her use the staircase first. She thanked him and thenbegan descending the stairs. To her surprise, she had barely walked a few steps when she steppedon a puddle of water. As she slipped on the puddle of water, her whole body fell backward. Sh*t, I'mfinished, she thought with her eyes shut, panic-stricken. Surprisingly, she found herself in the warmembrace of a man who had a very soothing smell on him. When she slowly opened her eyes andlocked eyes with him, a red flush instantly flooded her cheeks. She quickly pulled away from him asif she had gotten an electric shock. Then, she turned around and was about to leave. Alexander feltas though the lady's scent was still lingering on his hands. Seeing that she had walked somedistance away from him, he finally recalled what he had wanted to say to her. “I helped you outyesterday at the party because Grandpa told me to. Don't get the wrong idea.” Get the wrong idea?What wrong idea? The idea that he has a thing for me? Elise thought. Taking a deep breath, shereplied with a smile, “I've always known my place very well, Young Master Alexander.” When shenoticed a trace of emotion on his expressionless face, her smile broadened into a wide grin. “Butyou're so kind to me. I'm afraid I might lose control over myself and cross the line one day.” Dannywas sitting at the dining table in the dining room while chatting and laughing with Matthew. Whenhe saw Elise, he put down the piece of toast in his hand and got up to leave. “Sit down, Danny!"Jonah snapped. Then, he turned to greet Elise, saying, “Hurry up and have breakfast, Elise. Alexanderwill take you two to school in a while.” Danny looked gloomy. “Why? I don’t want to go to schoolwith her!” Jonah replied insistently, “It's not up to you, you brat.” Danny took a huge bite off thepiece of toast without saying a word. When he saw Elise turning up in one piece, he figured his planhad probably failed. As if that wasn't miserable enough, he would be going to school with her fromnow on. At the thought of this, he took a few more bites off the piece of toast. Since that trick didn'twork, I'll try another one! he thought.
